We had a wonderful stay in this cosy and charming cottage. The cottage has a livingroom, kitchen, bathroom and one bedroom downstairs and a second bedroom upstairs.The owners were very kind and welcoming. They even invited our daughter to help feed and look after the alpacas and sheep in the field next to the cottage, which she absolutely loved and was a very special part of our stay.The cottage was clean, comfortable and very cosy, with lovely colours and interesting artwork on the walls inspired by Mermaid Street in Rye. Some parts, such as the kitchen, are a little older, but everything was clean, well maintained and perfectly functional. The kitchen had everything we needed, including a gas hob, oven, small fridge and toaster. The beds were comfortable too.The location is beautiful and very peaceful. From the terrace you can even see the sea in the distance. The owners’ house is opposite the cottage, a bit like having neighbours across a small road. For us, privacy was absolutely fine. You may see each other when arriving, leaving or sitting outside, but the houses do not look directly into one another.Parking is available right next to the cottage. You can also walk through the fields from the cottage towards Rye, which is a lovely town with shops, a supermarket, restaurants and everything else you may need.There is plenty to do in the surrounding area as well. We really enjoyed hiring bikes at Rye Harbour and cycling through Rye Harbour Nature Reserve, and there are other activities nearby, such as kayaking around Bodiam.We really enjoyed our stay and would happily return.

Blue Loft description omitted to state accommodation was adjacent to owners property. The close proximity was an inhibiting factor to privacy.There was no WiFi connection and the digital TV worked intermittently both of which were brought to the attention of the owner.Generally the accommodation required a little TLC.

Real nice place just outside of Rye. The house is well equipped. We stayed 2 weeks and had a great time. The owners are very nice people and react quickly at questions. Nice terrace for warmer weather with stunning view of Rye and far away the sea. Great location for exploring this part of England. Within half an hour drive to the gardens of Sissinghurst and Great Dixter. I really recommend the blue loft.
