Visitors' Book

“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.

This is our 9th visit to the Boathouse!

Reading, writing, walking, relaxing. Fantastic!

Flat very comfortable, well equipped.

The location is excellent for visiting Sussex, and ….. the weather was superb.

In Rye we had dinner at Carey’s for fish & steaks, very good! Also an Indian meal in High Street.

Hope to come back!,
