Everything had been thought of to provide for a self catering holiday. Little touches, like hand wash, shower gel, tea, coffee, sugar, milk, olive oil, salt, pepper and a cold bottle of Prosecco were above and beyond. I would have preferred bath sheets rather than bath towels, but they were of excellent quality. Key safe a little tricky on arrival and departure, but does the job. Would we stay there again, a definite YES.

Some very nice small touches. Only criticism is the bed which is too small and the mattress very overused and uncomfortable meaning that myself and my partner often woke up with back pain.

Flat was great for a couple & location was ideal for walking into Rye. Having a balcony & an allocated parking space was an added bonus. Mattress & couch were a bit soft for us, but this is personal preference.
