The property is wonderfully located on the harbour side of town which means you can walk across the road into town or drive straight out with having to go through the town centre, so it offers the best of both worlds.

The inside of the property is finished to a high standard and is extremely comfortable. It also has little touches like charging points for phones or being able to watch your favourite programmes on the TV, these all added to the overall experience and were greatly appreciated. The house book, which explains all about the house and offers loads of options of what to do was invaluable and well laid out. Our dog loved the house, and even though we had brought our own covers, there was lots available to keep the place clean and tidy, we also found that little treats had been left for our furry friend. Would we stay again, yes of course!!! We had a lovely holiday in a lovely house, many thanks. Hide

We found Quay Cottage in Rye to be the most wonderful place to spend a holiday. Everything was clean and modern with a welcome feel to it. The interior design was first class.

The upside down configuration of the house works really well as the living area is light and airy with a lovely view across the river. The house does have a few steps between kitchen and lounge and a fairly steep staircase ( typical of a terrace cottage) but it was not a problem for us. This is a gem of a property and we look forward to returning. Hide
