Nice apartment with lovely views. A Sussex girl & a man of Kent (or Kentish man?) and yet we’d never been here! Went to Bexhill for an exhibition at the De La Warre pavilion – lovely building & good exhibition followed by ‘promenading’ on beach! Good weather & great pub – The Mermaid – in Rye – great food as well – when they do it! Dungeness fantastic – wild & sparse. Rye Harbour reserve excellent …. And the best thing? …. Southerners ARE friendly!! Anne & Roy Palmer Bristol 6th – 10th June 08
We loved it here! A must : The Rye Harbour Nature Reserve and beach, Winchelsea, (especially very early in the morning) and the walk to Camber castle! To drink: Try Ypres Inn To eat: Try the Fish Café for lovely sea food. Hope to be back soon. Tom Goos & Evi van de Heyer 26th July - 4th AUG 2008
Lovely apartment in relaxing setting. We made Rye our base to explore the Southeast of England. Day trips to Canterbury & Chartwell as well as visits to Battle & Dover. Scotney Castle was our hidden gem & well worth. Ellen Terry’s home, a nearby (Small Hythe Place) National Trust property was also fascinating. Dinner at the Woolpack Inn, just east of Rye, near Brookland, was atmospheric & very good. Thanks to all for the tips & advice. John & Leslie D’Elia Virginia, USA 31 Aug – 8 Sept 2008
We have had a short but enjoyable stay here. The town is very special and memorable. The Deli is well worth a visit – for a lunch with a difference. Eating out: The Union Pub good simple food, The Italian Simply basic. Dungeness is a special place & should be visited and a trip on the RH&D light railway won’t go amiss! Thank you for the warm welcome by the lady who looks after the properties. By the way we both think the emus have been upgraded to ostriches. Have a good holiday. Jenny & Bob Peterborough 21/9/08 – 23/9/08
We had a great time. Rye is a gem. Has wonderful meals at Fletcher’s House & the Mermaid. Winchelsea magical. Bluebel |

The pleasures of Rye's cobbled streets are barely 5 minutes walk. Further afield you are within easy reach of Winchelsea, Battle, Bodiam, Canterbury, the Channel Tunnel and the Kent countryside. The 'invitation only' golf links at nearby Camber are well known and the adjacent Sands are glorious at any time of the year. Golf courses can also be found at nearby St Leonard's and Seddlescombe. Other activities include sailing, windsurfing, fishing and an abundance of walks. The nature reserve at Rye Harbour boasts several hides. Cycling is an excellent way of exploring Romney Marsh using the tangle of narrow lanes, where you can discover Norman churches and 15th Century smugglers pubs.

“This precious stone set in the silver sea, This beloved plot, this earth, this realm, This England …..” Shakespeare, Richard II We spent two fantastic weeks here. This flat is cosy, comfortable and an ideal place to explore some beautiful gardens and National Trust properties from. We’ll recommend it to all our friends Brigitte and Ebershard, Germany 5/8/00 – 19/8/00
This is our 9th visit to the Boathouse! Reading, writing, walking, relaxing. Fantastic! John & Carole Owen Sittingbourne, Kent 6/4/07
We had a fantastic week in the Boathouse. Flat very comfortable, well equipped. The location is excellent for visiting Sussex, and ….. the weather was superb. Breakfast at the balcony 6 of the 7 days Visits to – Dungeness, Camber Sands, Canterbury, Bodiam Castle In Rye we had dinner at Carey’s for fish & steaks, very good! Also an Indian meal in High Street. Lunch at Ypres Inn, excellent, could have our drinks outside, sitting in the garden. Hope to come back!, Ann & Jan Hoogmade, Holland, 14-21 March
Ducks nesting on opposite bank while I enjoyed breakfast on the balcony. A yacht sailed (apparently) along the field on the left! Comfort, peace and warmth within us! Shall leave here refreshed and ready to face the world once more. Do visit Jempsons of Peasmarsh – the Harrods food store of the South East!, Gill, 9th – 11th/4/9
One night definitely not enough! We loved Rye and will have to come again for a longer stay. The flat is perfectly situated; extremely comfortable and well looked after. The nightlife is good, if a little too good! Saturday night we had a delicious fresh plaice in a pub around from the Mermaid, think it was The Borough Arms. Thank you very much for a lovely stay., Katherine & JP, 30-31st May
I’m here for one full month – lucky me!! So far, having a great time, lovely to see Rye & old friends again. The apartment is clean & the water pressure for shower is amazing – it’s normally awful in rentals. A |

We have really enjoyed our two weeks in this lovely apartment. We found it an ideal location for exploring the region, we must have visited most of the gardens and Merriment was our favourite. As for eating out the White Hart at Cripps Corner does very good meals. Thanks for the champers. June – Colin, Birmingham, 22/8-5/9
A truly wonderful 4 days in Rye, the accommodation was superb, even better than we expected, it was neat, very clean and tidy and also very homely. The housekeeper was very helpful. We had a lovely time in Rye and would like to return in the future. We will definitely recommend the apartment to our family and friends. Maureen & Malcolm Mackenzie Chatham 30th Oct – 2nd Nov 2008
Had a lovely short break at the ‘Boathouse’ – we enjoyed lots of walks around the area. The walk from Romney Sands to Dungeness was a particular highlight with the short trip on the railway! Lou & Pat 18th – 22nd February 2008
Our 7th visit and as usual a very enjoyable visit, weather kind, visits to Tenterden, Hythe (via the little railway) Sissinghurst, Sandwich (there’s a lovely secret garden there), Hastings, and Rye on Thursday (market day) Rose & Mike Long Fareham, Hants 10th – 17th May’08
A most enjoyable holiday. A lovely area for cycling, flat over the marshes, hilly when travelling in land. Sandra & John Carpenter St Albans, Herts 17-24 May 2008
A very wet Bank Holiday! Did not spoil the pleasure of our first visit to Rye. Trips to Great Dixter, Winchelsea village (a real haven of quiet), Winchelsea & Camber Sands, Hastings and Bodiam Castle etc etc. Liked the Woolpack at Brookland. The apt is so comfortable, and evening walks. This side of the river, towards Rye Harbour relaxing and interesting. Thanks! P.S. Enjoyed the book selection – especially Owen Meany. Alan and Maggie Jarman, Oxford 26-31 May 2008
Great Flatlet! We’ve enjoyed our stay, visited great places! Eaten fantastically!, best gardens Great Dixter,

Lovely 60th Birthday weekend for Martin. If you visit Chapel Down vineyard at Smallhythe, it’s worth visiting the Bistro upstairs. The lunch menu is very reasonably priced & beautifully cooked & presented. We didn’t see the resident seal – better luck next time. PS Yes, the very large birds in the field opposite really are ostriches!, Martin & Jo Itter, Horndon on the Hill, Essex, 20th – 23rd December
Excellent base for exploring – Rye town on foot, further afield by car. Xmas day lunch at the Mermaid was very good. Thoroughly recommend Greatstone for a wonderful walk along the long sandy beach; Also drive to Tenterden, take steam train to Bodiam, to visit Castle then back to Tenterden. Relaxing week away., Chris & Amanda, Odiham, Hants, 23-30 Dec
Another return to the Boathouse, our second this year. Despite the forecasts weather has been good and dry. Re-visited our favourite locations – Dungeness, Hastings, St Leonard’s & Rye Harbour. As photographers, always lots of interest. We like the wide open space down here. Eating out – Pilot Inn at Dungeness does great Fish & chips. Simply Italian good as always. Good bar lunches in William the Conqueror at Rye Harbour. No doubt we will be back again. Sheila & Alan Borthwick Perth, Scotland 6-13 Sept 08
First visit to flat but not to Rye. Will be back to flat, very good. Fantastic weather. Walks from Rye Harbour beautiful – beach great. Union Inn very good for food. Do go to Dungeness it is a very strange place – nowhere else like it. The Bell on The Mint is a very good pub. Seafood and Steak Bar on quay was not very good. The Walkers – Telscombe Cliffs 21/7 – 25/7
We are frequent visitors to Rye but found that our stay in this comfortable flat gave us a new perspective on Rye and its surroundings. A very relaxing and enjoyable week. Pat & Peter Jackson, Cheam 25/7 – 1/8 ‘08
A short break to explore the marshland churches (we already know Rye). They’re very special – particularly

Quiet location, convenient for travelling to various locations. Highlights – enjoyed Tenterden town then onto Kent & East Susses Railway to Bodiam Castle the audio tour of Rye – obtained from the tourist office – really good Best restaurant by far is ‘The Monastery’ 6 High Street 01797 223272 – Looks empty from the front but main area is behind Sunday shopping – try the garage opposite of river to Tourist Office – basics available. Martin + Rene Watts Lancs 23rd Aug – 30th Aug 08
Another enjoyable trip to Rye. Enjoyed our stay in the ‘Boathouse’ very much, clean & comfortable. Visited Battle Abbey & Yesterday’s World good for all ages & worth visiting. Beach Retreat Café at Winchelsea beach ideal for snack/lunches/dinners; varied menu & reasonably priced. Hope to be back before too long. Hired bikes, tiring but good fun. Jean & Bob London 8/9/08 to 12/9/08
Fantastic weekend in Rye. Apartment Wonderful, far better than it looks on Website. Couldn’t fault anything, Housekeeper so helpful, truly amazing weekend So peaceful and relaxing, really hope to come again. Jennie + Des Eastbourne Sx 26 Sept – 28 Sept 2008
An excellent apartment in a fine location; no complaints about anything, though it took us a while to figure out the central heating. A couple of days just mooching around in Rye, in beautiful bright cold sunshine. We kept returning to Haydens for lunch, a jewel of an institution, especially for anyone with a gluten intolerance – The Fish Café is also excellent, a bit more pricey but worth it and very helpful staff. The Standard was a pleasant pub, but our food, after nearly an hour and a half’s wait was disappointing. We also enjoyed the retro shop on Cinque Port Street and the Grammar School Record Shop, especially for folk and jazz. And Biddenden’s still, strong, Kentish cider is fine stuff! Ben & Lisa Brighton 27-29 Oct
The flat was cosy and warm despite it being -4º outside! We enjoyed looking round Rye and

Nice welcome, enough good weather to enjoy the walking; Rye Harbour Nature Reserve, Winchelsea & Iden. Interesting birds, long tailed tits, tawny owl. Woodpecker, egret (River Rother), and the ever present gulls. Paula Amy Bright Milton Keynes 11/1/08 to 18/1/08
Beautiful weather for walks. Rye is an enchanting town. The harbour walk is bracing – we enjoyed a wonderful break from our busy lives – time to breathe! Jack & Jill Walker Leigh Park Havant 16-20.2.08
Well-kept accommodation as usual. Bird-watching at Dungeness, Rye Harbour & Pett Level – eating out at Ship (on Strand) Landgate Bistro (cheaper menu Tues – Thurs) Simply Italian (wine voucher enclosed here) all excellent. Weather unseasonably mild. Andy & Lindy H. Enfield 20/2 – 23/2/08
Our fourth visit and we enjoyed it just as much. The weather went from snow to sunshine in a week and there were plenty of blue sky days. We love it here – the flat is super, so cosy and comfortable. I know we’ll come back. Thank you, Chris and lovely to meet you after all these years. Judith & Clive Morgan Buckfast, Devon April 5th – 12th
Best self-catering accommodation I have ever stayed in. I was born in the area, and have had a great week tracing my past. Very restful and warm, no traffic noise!! An extra bonus. (28.03.09 David – here with Elizabeth for the week to see the area she was brought up in. Lovely relaxing week with lots of lovely views and walks). Elizabeth Marsh, Rye/London 1938 – 1975 now Tewkesbury, Glos, 21.03.09 – 28.03.09
Area of amazing contrasts – viz Dungeness & Tenterden! Flushing Inn recommended for special meal – excellent food service & generous helpings., John Beaven & Joan Barker, Boston Lincs, 6/9/08 to 13/9/08
First visit to this part of England, completely enchanted with Rye. Webbe’s Fish Café/Restaurant recommended (near town gate). Flushing Inn also excellent & friendly but pricey (!). Walk across to Winchelsea via Camber Castle very pleasant.
