Cosy, clean and comfortable, decorated and furnished to a very good standard that makes you feel happy to be there, even the outside space has had thought put into it and you could actually use it, it was cleaned to the same standard as inside the cottage with no evidence of a seagull having left a present, the cottage is well thought out and clearly by someone who is thinking about how to make your stay as pleasant as possible, shower is a dream to use and spacious, kitchen well laid out with good quality everything, beds comfy and warm, the cottage is ideally placed for everything, restaurants a number of good ones literally a couple of minutes walk yet the cottage is pretty quiet, shops galore, historical buildings, the river and lovely views, lots of car parks I did book one behind the Regent with justpark that was mine for the week less than a five min walk away, Rye is adorable with very friendly locals, and a great base for exploring the surrounding area, we took a walk to Camber castle, went to Hastings old town and clifftop walk, Bodiam castle is well worth the short trip to get there then get the steam train to Tenterden for more great shops, Beckley and waterfall woods for the nature lovers, sat and watched the tide come in on whinchelsea beach, amongst many other things we managed to cram into our week but each day we came back to the very relaxing 51 the Mint cottage and were so grateful we had found this adorable cottage, I highly recommend the cottage and its owners and would defo book this one again next time I go to Rye.
