Apartment E

A lovely week in Rye with lots of walks, good food and incredible weather. An excellent ‘Plan B’ to our diving holiday in Egypt, not possible because of the volcanic ash cloud! Apartment ideal base, comfortable and well equipped. We particularly liked the Ship Inn for cocktails and ‘The Place’ at Camber Sands for a good lunch followed by a nice beach walk.

Thanks very much!

Great to be back again. S.I Simply the same.

Very relaxing week after all those dark London months.

Isobel & Wilf, May 2010

Fantastic few days here – recommend to join National Trust as there are so many places to visit – Hastings Castle & Battle Abbey also highly recommended. Ship Inn – Rye, excellent food. No complaints with apartment. Very good!!                                                                                                                                                            

Dan & Joset Scott, May 2010

We have travelled a long way to explore Kent & Sussex & we haven’t been disappointed. A cosy apartment in a super location.

Thanks for the fizz - a welcoming start to our hols.

Our find: “Cook” a shop in Tenterden (next to M & Co) sell ready made home cooked frozen meals. Loads of choice but we stuck with Lasagne (£6.95). 1hr in oven – cook from frozen, serve with salad & a chilled vino – follow with strawbs & cream – gorgeous.

Lovely comfortable apartment. As you approach Rye along the canal it appears perched on a hill like a medieval place of pilgrimage.

With its old cobbled streets this impression is sustained when you arrive.                                                     

Brian & Cathy Medhurst, April 2010

A very comfortable apartment in a good position with welcoming bottle of bubbly!

Good local walks and we have been blessed with terrific weather for time of year.

Never tired of walking around Rye and enjoyed meals at Simply Italian & Mahdi Spice.

Bought local caught plaice at fish market & enjoyed the meal in!

Thursday market worth a visit for exceptional value fruit & veg.

All in all a very relaxing holiday & for us something different. Will come again.,

Dan & Geraldine Turner, Beckenham Kent, 19-26 Sept 09

Thanks for a lovely, clean and comfy apartment.

Our 1st visit to the area. We enjoyed the miniature railway at New Romney, travelling from Hythe to Dungeness. Good fish & chip lunch Brittania Inn.

Rye’s Historical Audio Town tour is fantastic.

As is the views from St Mary’s tower. Our highlight has to be seeing two seals at Rye Harbour Nature Reserve,

Rosemarie & Roy, Godalming Sy., 20th – 23rd Sept 08

Really great accommodation with good views, including the 2 resident seagulls. Weather really mixed with really strong winds & squally showers. (Yes, - That Week!)

Good walks although wet with lots to see. Visit to Tenterden was good.

Comfortable residence, a nice break. Shame about the weather!            

Alan & Jan Coakley                           Harpenden Herts                 7 March – 14 March 2008

Lovely apartment, great weather – not as wet as Wales!

Visited Small Hythe & Tenterden – ‘a must’

As well as Dungeness for the ‘quality’ houses. Good location close to town only with PARKING!!! Will recommend this to friends.       

Peter & Ann Johnson                          Pembrokeshire  W.Wales   3-9 May ‘08

Lovely apartment and location.

We have had a wonderful week’s holiday which commenced with a warm welcome from the housekeeper Anne. Hopefully we will be back for the third time next year.

PS. Inkerman Arms, Rye Harbour Road for a good Sunday lunch.        

Beryl & John Tyler                              Sutton Coldfield                  17-23 May 08

Also 2nd visit to Rye but first time to the Boathouse. Weather variable but nevertheless had a really relaxing time. Gulls, gulls & more gulls – but rather endearing. As ‘twitchers’ – a really disappointing, limited range of birds. Fleeting glimpses of one Kingfisher, Redshank, Oystercatchers galore, and the ‘rare’ sparrow (in London at least). DON’T FEED THE JUVENILE GULL!! HE IS RELENTLESS BUT NEEDS TO FEED HIMSELF Naturally!!

The Boathouse is an excellent base from which to explore Sussex & Kent.

Make sure you visit ALL the ancient streets of Rye – very easy to miss them.

Some useful tips :

If arriving Saturday – stock up on any provisions (milk, bread, etc) as Supermarket is CLOSED ALL DAY SUNDAY. The Co-op in Winchelsea Beach is open 7 days a week just down the road.

Sunday papers – can be found near Rye Station. Everyone heads for this – so follow the crowds!

Ypres Pub – the best food around but a little expensive. Well worth it. All day breakfast & super PANINI – useful for a snack or Sunday breakfast

325 bus goes to the Harbour
