Wonderful house - great to have dedicated parking. We appreciated the lovely gifts. Bed super comfy. Good to be near the town and the amazing nature reserve. Would recommend the cinema for a rainy day.

Lovely cottage, extremely well equipped and in a great location. All the extra little touches left for us by by the owners were so thoughtful. Short walk into Rye which is really pretty with lots of interesting things to do and see. Great selection of cafes, pubs etc.
