Lovely stay in a cosy cottage
Bee cottage is a lovely cosy place, well equipped to stay for even weeks. Located within short walking distance from the centre of Rye, it was starting point of several incredible walks and hikes through the amazing countryside. We’ve all enjoyed the stay and the kids especially loved the video games :-)

Fijn vakantie huis
Leuk karakteristiek huis. Mooi ingericht voor alle leeftijden. Drukke weg voor de deur, geluid van de meeuwen is de eerste dagen even wennen. Het mooie dorp is op loopafstand. Dagjes weg geweest naar Brighton,London, etc was prima te doen. Kortom voor herhaling vatbaar.

Very clean & nicely decorated
The communication with the host was excellent. The property was clean & well equipped. The only downside was the noise from the road - it was surprisingly noisy as traffic drove very quickly & the house is very close to the road There was some confusion with the bins as the information booklet seemed to contradict the information sheet pinned on the kitchen door. Overall we had a pleasant stay & enjoyed our first visit to Rye

Stay in Rye
Lovely cottage close to Rye. We explored Camber sands, Hastings and Battle over half term and it was a perfect spot to do so!

About the host

Hosted by Emily Brooks

Host profile image
I'm a freelance interiors journalist, and I also write a blog about stylish holiday lets, Emily Escaped, an antidote to the idea that holiday rentals need to be bland and beige. In the end I decided to dive in and create the kind of holiday home that I would like to stay in as a guest – luxurious, stylish, but fun.

We had been coming to Rye as visitors for a while before we bought here, and fell in love with its beautiful buildings and amazing history - but also the fact that's it's a thriving town, not preserved in aspic.
An ideal day would see us up for breakfast at The Ship Inn, before walking it off down over the dunes to Camber Sands. Back in Rye for the afternoon, we'd dig out some vintage bargains in the antique shops and rummage for some vinyl at Grammar School Records, then have a quick drink in the atmospheric back bar at the ancient Mermaid. Dinner would be in acclaimed local eatery the Landgate Bistro, finishing the night with some live music at the Queen's Head over the road.

Why they chose this property

Bee Cottage stole our hearts because it's a modest little house that also seems to have loads of room for everyone! The easy walk into Rye, good parking (a rarity in the town) and closeness to the station were all practical factors, too.

What makes this property unique

It's a lovely period property, but we've given it lots of special touches and modern comforts, blending old and new in a lively way.
