Merrythought Cottage - 2 bed, 2 bath cottage in the heart of Rye citadel

Situated overlooking the front doors and huge stained glass windows of St. Marys Church. This newly renovated Grade II listed 2 king sized bed, 2 en-suite apartment makes you feel at home on your stays to this stunning town.

Take a stroll down the cobbled streets to the famous Lamb House, or soak up the art galleries around the High Street before heading back to share a meal and glass of wine around the dining table seating 4. The modern kitchen has all mod-cons needed for a comfortable stay.

Perfect location. Great accommodation. Welcome pack was superb and very generous. Owners always responded quickly prior to our stay and information was helpful. Extremely clean and beds were comfy. Parking nearby and lots of pubs and restaurants within walking distance. Would highly recommend.

Charmer in Rye

Great location - walkable to everything in town but tucked away in a quiet corner. Parking was manageable and the rental was clean with modern kitchen and baths although the downstairs en suite was tiny.

Great cottage, great location

This is a lovely cottage that has been renovated to a high standard. Most of the accommodation is upstairs with a good sized lounge, lovely and well stocked kitchen and a sizeable primary en-suite. Down stairs next to the entrance door is the 2nd bedroom with an en-suite. It had everything you needed for a stay. 2 minor grips - the downstairs was a little musty-smelling but this is an old cottage and upstairs had loads of windows and was lovely; and the church chimes kept me awake :) The location is brilliant and we would definitely return
