Neighbourhood

Snaffles 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.
