"The cottage was very nice and clean and in a good location to explore Rye and the surrounding area. The cottage was small and could be improved with a couple of things. The kitchen table has a wobble, a tea towel and extra toilet roll would be nice. In the hot weather, we struggled to open a window, however a fan was provided which helped. The complimentary biscuits were a nice touch. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and I would recommend this accommodation."
