May's House is a stunning holiday cottage in Rye Harbour, minutes from the Nature Reserve.
The cottage is one in a row of terrace houses in the quiet hamlet of Rye Harbour, less than 3 miles from the historic town of Rye.
You enter the property directly into the snug, cosy lounge with a wood burner for those colder evenings spent at home.
The cottage has a modern extension with a fully fitted kitchen, dining area and a further seating area with a wood burner, flooded with light whatever the season.
French doors open onto the small garden with a patio area directly outside for morning coffee or late afternoon drinks.
A little summerhouse provides space for a quiet reading spot or home office if required.
Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a stunning shower room. The first bedroom is the smaller of the two and is to the front of the cottage. The second bedroom is up another set of stairs and is a bright and welcoming room.
The cottage is the perfect bolthole for those who love walking and bird-watching as it is only 5 minutes from the impressive Rye Harbour Nature Reserve.
There is street parking directly outside the cottage and an excellent cycle route into the town of Rye if you wish to explore further.
With all the mod-cons May's House is home from home and a great spot when staying in East Sussex.

May's House is located in the village of Rye Harbour and is just a short walk from Rye Harbour Nature Reserve.
One of the most important conservation sites in Britain and is recognised as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a protected area for birds and habitat.
The nature reserve lies within a triangle of land extending south from Rye past Rye Harbour to the sea, westward to Winchelsea Beach, and northwards along the river Brede.
The perfect coastal habitat, with shingle, saltmarsh, saline lagoons, coastal grazing marsh, freshwater gravel pits, and reed beds. Explore its changing coastline and military history or simply enjoy a walk or cycle beside the sea.
Very popular with dog walkers, runners, and birdwatchers, and with the Discovery Centre and cafe open every day, somewhere to enjoy a cup of tea with a view.
The cottage is close to a very popular pub, the ‘William the Conqueror’, overlooking the river estuary, and it serves very good food if planning a night off.
There is a small village shop that sells your usual basics and newspapers and another pub about a five-minute walk from the house.
You are two miles from the historic town of Rye, with its cobbled streets, museums, cafes, restaurants, antique shops, and independent boutiques.
A vibrant social calendar throughout the year, with the annual Scallop Festival, Jazz Festival, and Rye Arts Festival to name a few. Rye Lawn Tennis Club is open nearly all year round if you wish to bring your rackets away with you and Rye Golf Club with its links course less than 4 miles from the property.
The beautiful sandy beach of Camber Sands is about five miles away and can be seen from the nature reserve if you look across the river estuary and worth a visit if you want a change of scenery.
Hastings Country Park is about seven miles away and covers 267 hectares of ancient woodland and grassland, along with three miles of dramatic cliffs and coastline, to be enjoyed whatever the season. It’s possible to walk to the seaside town of Hastings and catch a bus or train back to Rye.
Whether it’s walking, an early morning dip or just enjoying watching the local fishermen bring home the catch, May's House is the perfect spot to do all of that, any time of the year.
