About the Accommodation

Buttercup Cottage is a quiet, romantic retreat for two, only 10-15 minutes walk from the centre of Rye, East Sussex.

Formerly an 1800’s dairy building, converted into a studio apartment giving it a contemporary feel yet remaining sympathetic to its heritage. Buttercup Cottage is one of two holiday apartment’s, each with their own entrance off the hallway, if you wish to book both, talk to us about a 10% discount. The apartment has a bright, airy, open plan living area all on one level, with high vaulted ceiling, exposed timbers and a stall divider from the milking parlour days to separate the sleeping area, making the apartment fairly unique.

Neighbourhood

The town centre is less than a mile from the property and is renowned for its historical past, medieval fortifications and fine period architecture. As well as its charm and history, the town has a vibrant, independent range of shops, coffee and tea rooms, pubs and restaurants. A very busy calendar of events throughout the year, including Scallop week, Rye Jazz festival, Rye Arts and Music festival and the wonderful Rye bonfire spectacular.

A good start to any stay in Rye, is a visit to the town’s Heritage Centre. Here you can watch the Town Model’s ‘Sound and Light’ show, which retells Rye’s colourful, historic past. Then take a trip upstairs and play the ‘Old Penny Pier Machines’ and giggle with the ‘Laughing Sailor’ or have your fortune told by ‘Sidney Knows’! If antiques interest you, then visit the Strand Quay where you can wander amongst the small shops and bag yourself a bargain.

For the days when the weather is a little below par, why not visit our Kino cinema, all the latest films and even on occasions, live screening performances of Opera and Ballet from the London theatres. For the sporty among you, there is the Sports centre with pool.

The stunning sandy beach at Camber Sands is three miles away, with its safe bathing and miles of dunes the perfect beach whatever the weather. A short drive is Rye Harbour Nature Reserve, where you can walk along the sea wall and out on to the marshes to enjoy the beautiful flora and fauna. Or visit Derek Jarman's garden at Dungeness and enjoy a light bite at the Dungeness Fish Shack, you won't be disappointed.

For those among you who enjoy your gardens, we can highly recommend a visit to Great Dixter, at Northiam, Sissinghurst and Parham Place, all have stunning gardens and  are beautiful whatever the season.

The towns of Hastings and Ashford are around a thirty minute drive away and here you can get a mainline train to London, if you wish to explore the capital for a day.
