Luxury self-catering accommodation in Rye
If there was ever a town to epitomise all that is quaint about England, then Rye would be it. This golden nugget of the past is a destination of cobbled streets, mysterious smuggler’s passageways and crooked Medieval buildings.
Travelling west over Romney Marsh, Rye’s distinctive outline sketched into the skyline can’t fail to be noticed, stretching from the East Sussex coast to the hills in the distance. The town is a honeypot for tourists as well as home to many authors, artists and celebrities who have taken inspiration from the beguiling history that seeps from every ancient doorway. The old town plays host to a perfect jumble of charming inns, antique shops and quaint cottages. Rye truly comes into its element during winter, when the streets are lined with old-fashioned Christmas market stalls.
It’s no wonder Rye attracts visitors from far and wide, who come to stay in the town’s charming holiday cottages and luxury homestays year on year. Yachties often opt to stay slightly downstream at one of the luxury coastal holiday homes in Rye harbour; here there are facilities for vessels of all sorts and also a pub for those who want a night off self-catering. The popular beach resort of Camber Sands is a short drive away, offering seaside holiday fun for families by the bucket and spade-full!
