Seaside Retreat is a family-friendly holiday cottage sleeping six, in the sleepy village of Rye Harbour close to the Nature Reserve.
You enter the property into the boot/utility room, the perfect space to leave coats, muddy shoes and beach paraphernalia after a day of exploring. Here you will find a separate freezer and washer/dryer along with a sink and the usual cleaning materials.
From the boot room, you have a long corridor leading to two of the double bedrooms, a cloakroom and the family bathroom.
The family bathroom has a bath with shower screen, shower and separate shower hose for bathing the little ones, a large hand basin, WC, shaver point and heated towel rail.
At the end of the hallway overlooking the enclosed garden is the kitchen/diner with a dishwasher, large fridge, and a well-equipped kitchen. French doors open onto the large decked terrace and stairs down to the lawn area, fabulous on warm summer evenings for entertaining.
There is a door off the kitchen with stairs leading to the third bedroom. Here you will find two single beds, one 3ft and the other 2’6ft suitable for a child. As the bedroom is in the eaves there is head restriction in places.
The lounge is a super cosy room, overlooking the garden with a large comfy sofa and armchair and the all-important woodburner. for those winter afternoons when you want to hibernate. There is a large smart TV, blue ray player with a DVD library, a few board games and books if needed. There is a desk and wifi if you have to bring work away with you.

Seaside Retreat 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, Seaside Retreat is the perfect spot to do all of that, any time of the year.
