“This precious stone set in the silver sea,
This beloved plot, this earth, this realm,
This England …..”
Shakespeare, Richard II
We spent two fantastic weeks here.
This flat is cosy, comfortable and an ideal place to
explore some beautiful gardens and National Trust properties from.
We’ll recommend it to all our friends

We’ve had a lovely time here. The highlights, apart from the charming town
of Rye, were Sissinghurst and Hole Park Gardens. (farmers’ market on
Mondays). We’ve been coming to Rye regularly for over 15 years now and this
is our second stay at the Boathouse. If there is a more perfect place to
stay in Rye, we’ve yet to find it. It’s the place to stay for easy access to
the charms of Rye and the countryside beyond

Arrived to sun on the decking and bubbly in the fridge, what a welcome! Came
for a restful break, but have walked miles, around Rye to Rye Harbour nature
reserve, saw curlews and white egrets, redshank, wonderful photo
opportunities. Shower lovely & hot, heating great for evenings. Lovely on
the decking just watching the tide and ostriches in field in front!
Fish
& chips from Kettle of Fish was good. Roasted chicken portions in oven all
OK! Live music Ypres Castle Inn – Friday.
Thank you we have had a lovely time. K & D

Another lovely visit to the Boathouse.
We
have had the most beautiful spring weather. Sun, blue skies and a gentle
breeze.
Our
son & daughter gave is a surprise visit on day 1 to help us celebrate our 25th
Wedding Anniversary. Wonderful!
We
have walked over the marsh to Winchelsea Beach.
A
ride on the Romney Hythe & Dymchurch Railway took us to Hythe and a long
walk along the ‘prom’. Day 3 saw us walking to Hastings (take good maps if
you do this). We came back to Rye by train and it was amazing to see how far
we had walked. On day 4 we walked part way along the canal and then headed
north of Rye to a lovely village called Iden where we stopped for a drink
before making our way back. Today (day 5) we walked to Winchelsea for a pub
lunch.
Thank you Chris for the bottle which helped with our celebrations. We will
be back!

Enjoyed the apartment, the views & the ostriches. Thanks Chris for the
bottle. Weather has been mostly wild, wet & windy. So we visited Dungeness
to make the most of the conditions! We saw Derek Jarman’s cottage and garden
& went up the Old Lighthouse. Well worth a visit & tremendous views of the
shingle peninsula. Good fish & chips at the Britannia Inn.
Plenty of good cafés in Rye, best cakes & ambience in the Apothecary? Good
meal also at the Ypres Castle Inn. Pity we missed out on the Arts Festival,
but we’ve had a great week.
