About this property
Stylish Luxury Let In Rye. Walk To Shops/Pubs/Restaurants + Near Beach
Bee Cottage is a comfortable, stylish house sleeping up to 6 in 3 bedrooms (1 twin, 1 double, 1 king). It's an easy, level ten-minute walk into Rye itself and there's free parking less than a minute's walk away.
Ground floor:
- Large open-plan lounge/diner
- Well-appointed kitchen including induction range cooker, fridge freezer, microwave, washing machine, dishwasher, cafetiere , digital radio
- Steps down to a lawned garden with patio, barbecue and colourful festoon lighting
First floor:
- Twin bedroom
- Double bedroom
- Family bathroom with rain shower head over bath and separate hand-held shower
- Separate cloakroom with loo and basin
Second floor:
- Master bedroom (king)
Bee Cottage also features lots to keep you entertained:
- An XBox + games, DVD player, Roku with Netflix, a wireless speaker you can plug your own device in to, plus a record player and some vinyl
- Wi-fi
- Old-fashioned games too! Jigsaws, Scrabble etc
For babies, there are:
- High chair
- A travel cot with mattress (guests to supply cot linen)
- A bag of bath toys
- 2 x stair gates
- Plastic cutlery & crockery
- Step-stool for toddlers to reach the sink/loo etc
- Toys and books
We had a great time decorating the house to feel like home, and there are lots of fun touches, from our wall of kitsch mountain landscapes to the old waltzer panels we've mounted on the wall in the garden; plenty of the antique/vintage pieces were gleaned from Rye's many second-hand shops.
Pets are not allowed.

About the host
Hosted by Emily Brooks
I'm a freelance interiors journalist, and I also write a blog about stylish holiday lets, Emily Escaped, an antidote to the idea that holiday rentals need to be bland and beige. In the end I decided to dive in and create the kind of holiday home that I would like to stay in as a guest – luxurious, stylish, but fun.
We had been coming to Rye as visitors for a while before we bought here, and fell in love with its beautiful buildings and amazing history - but also the fact that's it's a thriving town, not preserved in aspic.
An ideal day would see us up for breakfast at The Ship Inn, before walking it off down over the dunes to Camber Sands. Back in Rye for the afternoon, we'd dig out some vintage bargains in the antique shops and rummage for some vinyl at Grammar School Records, then have a quick drink in the atmospheric back bar at the ancient Mermaid. Dinner would be in acclaimed local eatery the Landgate Bistro, finishing the night with some live music at the Queen's Head over the road.

Why they chose this property
Bee Cottage stole our hearts because it's a modest little house that also seems to have loads of room for everyone! The easy walk into Rye, good parking (a rarity in the town) and closeness to the station were all practical factors, too.
What makes this property unique
It's a lovely period property, but we've given it lots of special touches and modern comforts, blending old and new in a lively way.
