We had a great trip. The house is a great size and is in a great location - central but lovely and quiet. The kitchen was spacious and it was great to have a separate dining room. The bedrooms were huge and en-suite which was also great. The terrace catches the sun in the morning and the weather was good enough to have breakfast outside.

A wonderful home

We all so enjoyed our time here. A special place to celebrate a 70th birthday!. Everything one could wish for in a beautifully appointed, character property, with a wide prospect, in an ancient village The family all felt happy and relaxed; quite a feat given the age ranges from a new ubaby to over 70!

Birthday Weekend

Located right in the centre of Rye and much bigger than we had expected. Well furnished. Downsides were lack of parking - but that is true of the whole town - and rather petty non supply of washing up liquid and only three dishwasher tablets! At least try to help us leave you with clean crockery!

Spacious house, terrific central location

Plenty of space and far-reaching views over the marsh, very comfortable rooms and a great (top floor) shower, though other bathrooms were older. Kitchen is spacious and has everything you need. We had difficulties with tricky front door keys/locks on more than one occasion, and the downstairs bathroom door became completely stuck, but response from Quest Cottages was very quick, friendly and efficient. A fabulous stay, right in the heart of Rye - thank you!

This is a period very clean, well furnished property in the heart of Rye’s historic centre. It has undergone substantial modernisation and whilst some further work might be planned the current facilities meet expectations. The rooms are all very generous in size with and the kitchen is very well equipped (but could perhaps do with an nespresso machine).Bathrooms are fine and function as expected. The principal bathroom has recently been refitted to a high standard including a walk-in shower with a straightforward electronic control .The accommodation is dog friendly and there were plenty of of signs that the owner is used to dogsParking outside is charegeable and limited to 2 hours from 9.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m. however that means that if arriving at 4 p.m .it is possible to to stay parked until 11.00 a.m the next morning for two smallish fees. We had two cars and by careful parking we were never more than 3 or 4 minutes away.We would happily stay here again if returning to the area

Almost a week in Rye

In a grand old house overlooking the flatlands to the sea, with a view of miles. First impressions: huge. Second: who’s having which room (they all were en-suite so it didn’t really matter). Third - I want a bookcase like that one! We loved the first floor reading book as much as the sun room sofa. This was an easy stay in central Rye. A bit of a faff with two cars to park and repark - but parking is so inexpensive, we could park for 24 hours for less than it costs for an hour at home. The weather wasn’t the best, so we worked round that with our trips to local beaches and the steam train to Hythe for fun. Loved our cinema trip and our favourite meal out was to Rye Sushi.

Lovely house in the centre of Rye

The house was perfectly located right in the heart of Rye. Opposite one of the best pub/restaurants and minutes walk from all the lovely shops and restaurants of Rye. The kitchen was well kitted out with everything needed to prepare and cook a good meal. And the back patio has lovely views over the fields. There had been a leak just before our stay from the house next door which damaged some of the carpets and walls which the owner kindly prewarned us of, but didn’t cause any functional issues for us. Some of the rooms could do with a spruce up - a couple of the bathrooms are lovely and modern, but some are still a fairly basic shower set up over a bath. The curtains in some of the rooms could also do with darker curtains (currently just thin white curtains) or blinds, especially in the summer. Parking in Rye town is tricky, but it was only a 4 minute walk to a very reasonably priced car park. All in all a lovely house in a perfect location with a good set up at a great price.
