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 :-)

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

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.

Lovely Rye

Ideal location for visiting the gardens and wildlife havens we had planned to see. The walk into town was easy even with a toddler and Rye has so much to offer - we need to come again to do it justice.

Fantastic longer term stay

We had a great stay for 3 months at Emily’s beautiful home during some home renovations. Emily was always so friendly with excellent and quick communication. The house is fantastic, a great 3 bedroom house with great garden and outdoor space, with fantastic light throughout the day. We loved our stay, thank you Emily for everything! Absolutely 5/5

A wonderful Christmas time…

Great cottage, perfect for family time away. Very close to historic, picturesque Rye (5-10 mins walk max). House has everything you could possible need, comfy beds, brilliantly equipped kitchen and all WiFi connected mod cons. Emily is the perfect host, loads of local recommendations and advice for pubs, etc. Could not have been better!

Great place!

We had great holidays in Emily's house. We really didn't find one thing we could complain about. It was very clean, everybody slept very well in their beds. The equipment in the house is really good. The kitchen was great, the big table in the living room is nice to eat with many people. There are toys for children, an XBox, free Netflix, free WiFi and so on... The house is just a few minutes walk away from the old town. Perfect communication with Emily. We strongly recommend this house. Well done, Emily!

What a warm welcome from the lovely Emily . A Christmas tree, fairy lights , a wreath, cake , apple juice , milk and mince pies Little touches like this made our first ever Christmas away from home even more special. We read, dozed, played games we even did a puzzle . Really recharged our batteries, perfect location. Although on a road it was so peaceful . Loved our time at Bee cottage and we hope to come back. Thank you Emily from Michele , Julian and Denise x

Lovely house

Great to stay in a house rather than a hotel while working away. Easy quick walk into Rye for all the restaurants and pubs. Only slight downside was the car park which has the most overly complicated ticket system I've ever encountered (though that is nothing to do with the owner). Would definitely book again

Great property in great location. With everything you need for a wonderful stay.

We stayed at this property for a week with our 14 month old daughter and my parents. It was the perfect Base for a lovely family holiday. Our daughter loved the toys and books that were provided this added with all the great facilities really made it home away from home. Great location for an easy walk into rye. We also had lovely days out in battle, Hastings, camber sands and the rare breeds farm all within easy reach.

Very homely stay

We were 5 people staying for a long week-end. The house is very comfortable and feels like home and not a holiday stay. The lounge and dining room are very spacious and the facilities are very good though we have not used the kitchen. The bedrooms were also spacious and easily accommodate 6 people. The only comment is that one couple staying did not have good night sleep due to the bed not being too comfortable. But they would come back any time as the rest was perfect. We were on 4 motorbikes and parked on the street 100 meters from the house with no problems, and within 5 minutes walk through the car park we were in Rye center. Will definitely re-book this cottage when we go to Rye again.

Traumhaft

Es war alles perfekt, sehr sauber und sehr geschmackvoll, mit Liebe zum Detail. Es war genauso wie auf den schönen Bildern beschrieben. Auch die Vorbereitung und Infos zum Haus waren perfekt und ich kann das Haus und den Ort nur wärmstens empfehlen. Die Woche war leider viel zu kurz. Familie Wagner

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.
