  We followed instructions to get to cottage on sat nav for unloading but unfortunately many of the cobbled streets were not suitable for vehicles and we went round and round to try to get close.

  We ended up parking in the Strand to unload, at a cost of £7 which we didnt realise gave us just till tea time! more needs to be explained about parking as description does say parking available, yes, as long as you are prepared to walk a distance and pay. We found Marinos fish and chip shop with car park behind, and paid £5 for 24 hours. The cottage was very central, and was fine for two adults, not sure for any more as it is very small and bathroom and seating could be a problem. The sofa was really grubby with stains and spills all over it, we did feel it needed a good clean, however it was comfy. The fridge has broken door shelf and the inner trays were the only storeage area for bottles etc, resulted in leaking milk everywhere as we had to lay it down!. Previous clients rubbish in the dustbin so we couldnt dispose of our rubbish. We didnt cook but kitchen looked ok with utensils, although several mugs have very visible chips in the bases. We were here for just 4 nights and it was enough, more effort is needed to provide a little more than just getting by. Batteries in remote had almost gone, needed replacing, we left a note. Maybe as we have 3 or 4 cottage breaks a year, and have for many years, our expectations are high , no welcome pack {pint of milk} no toiletries, no guest book, little tourist info, We didnt really feel we had arrived on holiday, all cottage owners need to up their game in welcoming guests, we are on holiday!!! must mention, the towells are super and Simply Italian restaurant just down from cottage at the Strand is absolutely amazing.

  We had a great fortnight at Coastguard Cottage.

  When we arrived, the cottage was easy to find, and we were able to park right outside. The keys were located where we'd been told. The cottage was clean and tidy, and all promised features were present and correct. The cake left for us was an unexpected treat. The cottage was a great base for the Rye Harbour nature reserve, just round the corner, and for the many nearby places of interest such as Rye, the narrow-gauge RH&DR railway, and several houses and gardens open to visitors. Finding dog-friendly places was reasonably easy. The local Rye Harbour general store was convenient and useful, and of course we made use of the William the Conqueror pub. Wireless internet was available at the cottage (although not always as fast as we would have liked), and there was a good TV to watch (although not all the channels in the guide were actually available). The kitchen equipment was generally good to very good, although we did add some extra mugs, and the oven would have benefitted from a specialised cleaning product. Some minor points: - The front and back gardens have become a bit overgrown. The front gate was hard to latch because a bush was in the way, and weeds are springing up in the gravel. - Some of the room doors in the cottage were hard to shut / lock. - When a booking is for two weeks instead of one, it would be helpful to have more of some supplies. We don't expect two cakes, but some extra bin liners and an additional loo roll would be useful.

  We have been holidaying in the UK for many years and this was undoubtably the best location we have ever stayed in.

  The proximity to the river and access to the nature reserve was fantastic. The house is a good size for two people and is well equipped and Wi-Fi is reliable. The decor is quirky, and of its time, but it a really relaxing place to be. Prospective renters should be aware that it is a terraced house in a residential area, I really liked this, but it may put some people off. Also there is no privacy in the (beautiful) gardens, so if that is what you are looking for, then this is not the property for you. The only issue ( and this feels very pedantic) that would stop us for returning here time and time again is the bed. It is a standard sized double and we had real difficulty sleeping in it as a couple, being used to having a bit more space. However, we would highly recommend this house. It’s location is brilliant for exploring the local area and wider across East Sussex and Kent.

  The house was very comfortable with all the equipment you could need for a short break.

  The first impression of the house when you arrive is disappointing due to the condition of some of the neighboring properties which of course is out of your control we recognize. The image of the property on the Sykes site needs updating as clearly this was taken before the work completed in the front garden. The garden at the rear was good although garden needs some attention in terms of the bench over looking the estuary wasn't useable due to the over growth along with the steps becoming over grown. Overall an enjoyable stay, beds comfortable and property clean. Eating out locally the William the Conqueror excellent although they had some staffing issues and some equipment challenges during our stay. The lemon drizzle cake upon arrival a lovely touch thank you.

  Providence Cottage is a beautiful property in a great location in Rye, with everything you could want on the doorstep. The cottage was clean and well equipped and there was a lovely welcome pack with goodies left by the owners which gave us a real sense of being welcomed to the property. There was lots to do within close proximity to Rye and ideal as a base for us to explore the area with a young family. We contacted the owners about an issue while we were there and they we really helpful and efficient in sorting it. The only reason we have put “good” and not “very good” for being child friendly is the very steep stairs which would be tricky with very young children- but this is mentioned in the information in the website. Our boys (12 and 9 years) loved it!
