Apartment C

Most enjoyable week in Rye. Lots to see & do in the area. Good pub meals at the Standard & The Union, excellent lunch at Haydens (High St). If you like trains can recommend the Kent & East Sussex railway  - Tenterden to Bodiam Castle.

Mary & Michael,               Ely, Cambs                                  7-14 May 2011

We have lost count of how many times we have stayed at The Boathouse, but our 1^st stay in No1 and very nice too, love the wall to wall wardrobes (thanks for the bottle in the fridge Chris).

Hever Castle is great, expensive at £14 Adults/£11.50 O.A.Ps but well worth it – we spent five hours there.

Merriments Gardens lovely gardens, very good restaurant

Batemans very good.

Chartwell very good.

Maidstone has very good shops & big precinct, Park-n-ride & river trips.

(If wanting gifts to take home try.) “Wood-n-Things” in Rye High Street. Full of lovely unusual things as all prices.           

Rose & Mike Long,                Fareham Hampshire                21^st – 28^th May 2011

Lovely apartment in relaxing setting.

We made Rye our base to explore the Southeast of England. Day trips to Canterbury & Chartwell as well as visits to Battle & Dover. Scotney Castle was our hidden gem & well worth. Ellen Terry’s home, a nearby (Small Hythe Place) National Trust property was also fascinating.

Dinner at the Woolpack Inn, just east of Rye, near Brookland, was atmospheric & very good.

Thanks to all for the tips & advice.

We have had a short but enjoyable stay here. The town is very special and memorable. The Deli is well worth a visit – for a lunch with a difference. Eating out: The Union Pub good simple food, The Italian Simply basic.

Dungeness is a special place & should be visited and a trip on the RH&D light railway won’t go amiss!

Thank you for the warm welcome by the lady who looks after the properties. By the way we both think the emus have been upgraded to ostriches.

Have a good holiday.

3^rd visit to Rye but 1^st stay at the Boathouse.

Good comfortable accommodation with all you need. Wifi access very handy. Lovely watching the tidal flow of the river & boats going by.

Great fillet steak at the Tuscan Kitchen on Lion Street. Bar food at the Mermaid good value. Don’t go to the Monastery restaurant – appalling.

Battle Abbey a must.  Marion Pullen & Mick Baden, London, July 2010

We’ve had a great week here at No1. So peaceful and calm, what a change from the rat race. We walked the town twice, the second time with the audio guide (well worth it). Also visited Hastings, Bodiam and Battle. The train ride to Bodiam from Tenterden was bumpy but worth the try. We were halfway down the bottle of bubbly before the thought struck us that it was for the housekeeper from the last tenants. Oops!!

We have had a very enjoyable few days here at the Boathouse and the weather has been perfect. Loved Rye and made some great discoveries in the area. One of our highs was the little church, St Thomas Becket isolated in Welland March just south of Appledore.

We thought the apartment exceeded our expectations. We would come again.

Thank you.     

Peter & Liz, Burgess Hill        Sept 2010

We have had a great holiday, with pretty good weather. We enjoyed Camber Sands, Winchelsea and Winchelsea Beach. It was quite exciting when the estuary overflowed and came half way up the curb outside the flat! Marino’s fish & chips was excellent.    

Steve & Abby, St Albans       Sept 2010

A short stay to see the bonfire and visit the ‘deli’ – neither disappointed! Flat is warm and clean, very welcome at this time of year.

Despite inclement weather Rye always has something to offer its visitors. See you in 2011 we hope!

We had a great time. Rye is a gem. Has wonderful meals at Fletcher’s House & the Mermaid. Winchelsea magical. Bluebells were beautiful. Accommodation comfortable and well-kept.

No1 Boathouse – Congratulations on your 1st year.

The location is excellent for enjoying all that Rye has to offer. We’ve tried a variety of pubs & restaurants throughout the week, all have been good.

The Ostriches, baby seagull & river have added to the enjoyment of sitting on the balcony in the sunshine with a large G&T!

Shop at Jempsons in Peasmarsh – good supermarket …. Cheap petrol too! (shut Sundays)

Walk 5 mins along the footpath, right out of car park, to get to the steps leading to Ypres Pub and fresh fish shop on bridge.

John Cawdron Antiques on Market Road ….. good selection, friendly & willing to haggle ….!!
