Apartment B

Visitor's Book

Our second very successful stay at 1 The Boathouse, combining walks and attending the Florestan Festival at Peasmarsh. Enjoyed a wonderful and, these days, not expensive meal at the fish restaurant in Tower St. Rye has some wonderful shops – my favourite is My Sweet Old Etcetera at 3 High St which fronts as an antique jewellery place but out the back has some very clean second hand women’s clothes at a modest price. I’m away with two pairs of linen trousers and a Hobbs jacket (£28) to wear at a wedding. Not to mention the fascinator from Medusa (I think) for £14.95 – a similar one in John Lewis was £75! And my husband bought a jacket in the Edinburgh Woollen Mill. Altogether a very successful stay. We plan to be back next year for more walking, music – and clothes!!

A lovely peaceful and very comfortable apartment.

The raft race was so much fun, Simply Italian is an excellent place to enjoy a meal, food and service excellent, price very reasonable. Ship Inn, don’t bother, good pub is the Crown, we will be back for the raft race next year.

Excellent location, great time watching birds, including emus! Enjoyed our visit to Lamb House (we’re Tilling fans), Small Hythe Place and the Romney Marsh churches. For eating we strongly recommend the Globe Inn, just at the start of Military Road, 40’s décor/theme and superb gourmet food. We also liked the Flushing Inn – great crab sandwich lunch & old fashioned service. Royal Oak on the Peasmarsh Rd and the Royal Oak at Brookland are also excellent.

Nice apartment with lovely views.

A Sussex girl & a man of Kent (or Kentish man?) and yet we’d never been here! Went to Bexhill for an exhibition at the De La Warre pavilion – lovely building & good exhibition followed by ‘promenading’ on beach! Good weather & great pub – The Mermaid – in Rye – great food as well – when they do it! Dungeness fantastic – wild & sparse. Rye Harbour reserve excellent …. And the best thing? …. Southerners ARE friendly!!

We loved it here! A must : The Rye Harbour Nature Reserve and beach, Winchelsea, (especially very early in the morning) and the walk to Camber castle!

To drink: Try Ypres Inn

To eat: Try the Fish Café for lovely sea food.

Hope to be back soon.

Lovely cosy apartment – perfect for two. Rye is a fascinating place full of character & history. It’s definitely the most haunted place we have visited.

Great trip out to Bodiam Castle, Camber Sands, Beachy Head & Dungeness. Dungeness is the weirdest most fascinating place, but it’s not for the conventional sightseer! Had the most delicious meal at the George – great ambience too. Webbe’s good for fish but a lot of butter on everything. Steer clear of Simply Italian – more like Simply Terrible with lazy service & watery food. The Mermaid is a perfect place to spend a rainy afternoon drinking. Calvados by the fire. For musicians, we recommend the Guitar shop on Lion Street, friendly, knowledgeable staff & an excellent selection of guitars & equipment.

Thanks for the bubs – cheers

Ideal location to explore Rye etc. Flat cosy and very well equipped.

For a quiet location the Bird Sanctuary at Dungeness is a good place to go.

Winchelsea a perfect village with good views and pub. Good beers at Ship but food expensive and not very well done except for the fish pie. Simply Italian – good robust Italian reasonably priced.

All in all a relaxed place to stay – bubbly much appreciated. Enjoyed all the wild life including the ones on the boats sailing by.

All this and sunshine every day.
