Flat was as well maintained as two years previously. Warm all over and plenty of hot water. Location is good for visiting Rye with its shops and cafes. From the flat we walked to Rye harbour and Camber sands. This time we visited the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch railway, went by bus and travelled on the railway, a good day.

The apartment has a fabulous view of the River Brede great to wake up to in the morning. The Boathouse has everything you need for a break. Instructions for heating, hot water etc. are very clear. The neighbours were friendly and it was nice and quiet. Personal preference for us the mattress was too hard [we actually went out and bought a memory foam mattress topper the second day]. The sofa could do with an update it was a bit saggy and a working vacuum cleaner would have been useful.
