Watching the river rise and fall is entertainment on its own. Nice, warm and comfortable. Firm bed which suited us well. Information provided by host clear and comprehensive. Additional info provided on Rye also welcome. 5 minute walk into town or bus stop. Very quiet location, not disturbed by anyone.

Flat was as well maintained as two years previously. Warm all over and plenty of hot water. Location is good for visiting Rye with its shops and cafes. From the flat we walked to Rye harbour and Camber sands. This time we visited the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch railway, went by bus and travelled on the railway, a good day.
