Rye is an ancient town Perched on a hill, overlooking the River Rother and Romney Marsh. It has enchanting cobbled streets, a medieval church and beautifully preserved historic houses from medieval, Tudor and Georgian times, giving the town a uniquely unhurried atmosphere. Rye has many ancient and interesting buildings that bear testimony to its eventful past, including The Ypres Tower, Landgate and the Town Wall. In early September, the town assumes a different atmosphere, as the Rye Arts Festival takes place. Here, you can experience the delights of Classical music, Jazz, Blues and Folk, Comedy, and Literary events bringing the best of the Arts to Rye. In recent years the town has played host to performers such as Humphrey Lyttleton, Susannah York, The Menuhin Grafin Walfisch trio, Eliza Carthy, Lady Antonia Fraser, Nina Conti and the London Bulgarian Choir. If that wasn't enough, Rye is also within easy access of other attractions, such as Camber Sands, the Rye harbour Nature Reserve and Winchelsea Village.
Reviews
"Fantastic location for exploring the East Sussex area. The riverside location was beautiful, always something to see from the window, Flat was well equipped, comfortable and loads of information for the area. The town of Rye is lovely, people really friendly and full of history. The visitors centre is a great place to start. Owner really helpful and welcoming."
"We had a lovely stay in this clean and comfortable property. The accommodation was just right for 2 people. Everything we needed was provided- towels, bedding,etc and welcome drinks on arrival. Location was excellent - a lovely view of the river - watching it come in and out. Boats sailing passed the window- perfect. It was a short walk into the town which was much bigger than we thought and there was lots to see and do. Parking space was provided. The information from the owner was thorough and getting the keys was very straightforward. It was also a good base to travel around East Sussex. We would definitely like to stay again in the future."
"Just returned from an amazing weekend in Rye. 16 the boathouse is a warm and cosy apartment on the river Rother close to the town centre. It had everything and more that we needed for a romantic break away, from soft towels to a complimentary bottle of wine and beers. It had free wifi and free view tv. There were books and games and binoculars to view the water birds and seals outside our window. Would highly recommend it to everyone! xx"
"Superb location and facilities. It was a very cold but bright weekend and walking into 16 The Boathouse was welcoming and warm. The bedroom was basic and when the blind and curtains were closed it was extremely dark and peacefully quiet, just the ticket after exploring the streets of Rye. The onsite parking was a blessing as was the wine and beer on arrival. Hope to visit again and would recommend without question."
"Excellent, top quality accommodation within minutes walk of Rye centre. Welcome pack of beer and wine much appreciated by husband after long drive! The flat was fully equipped and tastefully furnished with a great view out over the river - we saw several boats sail past. Ideal accommodation for a couple, our second holiday away without teenage children - just what we could have wished for. Plenty of excellent cafe's/restaurants/coffee/tea shops - spoilt for choice. Good customer service from the owner when contacting him for key arrangements. We did not make use of the Wi-fi as charges were very high, would have preferred small cost to have been included in the rent. Car parking in numbered bay right outside property."
"Well presented, comfortable apartment. Great views, lovely and quiet. Plenty of places to eat,visit."
"Recommended. Detailed comments are: - Location. Overlooking a channel between the River Brede and River Rother on the outskirts of Rye. Access is down two unmetalled roads. The first one you reach on entering Rye, Shipyard Lane is too narrow for safe passage between parked cars of the neighbouring terraced houses. Better to take the next turn which despite appearing to be just the access to industrial premises, continues around to the property and is mostly surfaced. View from apartment interesting with a wide variety of water birds and the ostrich(?) farm beyond. Easy to walk into Rye and leave the car parked in the allocated space. Ideal for visiting Rye and the surrounding area. - Equipment. Modern, well furnished and extremely well equipped. You will find everything you need and more. Good power shower and a decent bathroom. Bed just a touch small for a couple used to a larger bed but fine for a week away. - Neighbourhood. Good hints and tips from the owner including which restaurants are worth a visit."
"If your looking for a nice quiet well appointed apartment in the town of Rye you would have great difficulty in getting any better than 16 The Boathouse. The place was spotless with good facilities and a nice bottle of wine and 2 bottles of lager to welcome us. If there was any downside it would be the decrepid yacht hulks moored in the river outside of the window but this did not detract from the overall enjoyment of our stay. The contact arrangements and key collection was ver easy with no problems at all."
"We enjoyed our week here. Great location for getting around, and comfortable when we returned afterwards."
"This is a really delightful small flat in a lovely place. The flat is located on the edge of Rye but is convenient for a walk into the town itself and has a beautiful view onto a tidal river with picturesque marsh land spreading out into the distance. (With, bizarrely, an ostrich farm visible in the middle distance.) The flat is quite small but beautifully presented and was in immaculate condition when we arrived. There were some really nice touches such as a bottle of wine etc and it was very easy to cook in. The side of the flat facing over the river has a big french window with a tiny balcony and the flat is very light and pleasant to sit in. Rye itself is beautiful and a lovely place to hang out, from the castle to the church to the numerous pleasant shops and pubs, and places like Camber Sands and Hastings are very accessible via public transport. Only two very small gripes stopped it from being a five-star experience: one was that the hot water in the bath was very erratic and if you're one of these old fashioned people who prefers a bath to a shower you might find it frustrating, and the second was that the front aspect of the flat itself is rather gloomy and ugly. But these are very easily overlooked. We went with a toddler and were slightly nervous about the window and the balcony as there was a sheer drop down a story onto a stony ledge next to the river, but it was relatively easy to secure. Also the owner was extremely friendly and helpful which went a long way."
"This apartment was in a lovely location, well appointed, clean and provided with all thats needed for a comfortable stay, we were there for a week and enjoyed it immensley. Rye itself is a interesting place to explore full of history with plenty of cafes,restaurants in close proximity. Within easy striking distance are historic towns such as Battle, Hastings and Tunbridge Wells just to name a few.Be aware however that this apartment is at first floor level accessed via a wooden outdoor stairway which could be a problem for those with mobility difficulties particularly with suitcases."
"visited rye many times in the past and stayed in the town at various cottages but this was the best due to the parking facility in a town with limited parking.the boat house was a delight with the river and boats going by and the apartment having all mod cons.only down side was sofa bed for third person being time consuming."
"Very well presented apartment with beer and wine left on the table as a welcoming gift.The apartment was very clean and comfortable and had an allocated car parking space. The views from the lounge were wonderful with ever changing scenes as the tide ebbed and flowed. At high tide boats sail past the lounge window virtually within touching distance (the flat is on the first floor) There are lots of walks and the harbour and beach are just a short drive away. The town of Rye is very attractive and has lots of places to eat out in, though it is best to book for the more popular ones. There is a guide book with comments in the flat"
"We were fortunate enough to stay in this lovely apartment last week, and were extremely sorry to leave! It was comfortable and spotless, and the owner made himself known during the week to see if everything was going ok. The views over the river estuary and changing tides were fascinating, including the antics of ostriches on the other side of the river(I haven't been drinking, honest!) Would recommend to anyone who asked me for somewhere to stay in Rye. Quiet and peaceful but only ten minutes stroll into the middle of town."
"nice place to cosy up together, nice walks and scenery and eating places within a short walking distance."
"We had visited Rye many years ago when our children were young, and fancied a short break there. We found the Boathouse on the internet whilst searching for accommodation, and booked a weekend break. This was at the end of November 2010, just when the cold spell started. We loved the well equiped apartment, lovely view over the river and very handy for Rye with its great selection of pubs and restaurants. Despite the weather (we had snow!), we really enjoyed our stay, it was nice and cosy, so much so, that we have booked it again for later this year, hopefully it will be warmer outside!"
"Our appartment was very comfortable, clean and in a very good location for both Rye and surrounding area. Very nice touch with the bottle of wine and beer in the fridge which made you fell that someone wanted you to have a nice start to your holiday.."
"Enjoyed our stay in this clean and well presented accommodation. The owner clearly had thought of everything you would need including the use of a bicycle! Well situated within 5 mins walk of Rye Town and 10 mins to local Railway station which was great as we didn't have to use the car unless we just wanted to go to the local beaches. Plenty of good local restaurants including a chippy. Only disappointment with accommodation was no garden/area to sit out in but did not present a real problem as only stayed one week."
