Rye Accommodation Apartment to Rent
The historic town of Rye offers plenty to do and see for a mid week break or week long stay.
16 The Boat House is a first floor one bedroom quayside apartment on the banks of the River Brede in Rye, East Sussex. An allocated on-site parking space provides a rare luxury so close to the cobbled streets of this beautiful medieval market town. Ideal for two people, but the lounge area has a comfortable double sofa-bed, with sufficient bed linen, towels, crockery and cutlery provided to sleep four all included in the price.
Bird Watching
The marshland to the east of Rye (Romney Marsh) is a twitchers paradise where a huge variety of seabirds can be found in their natural habitat. Just a short distance away is the Nature Reserve at Rye Harbour and a little further on is the RSPB Reserve at Dungeness. Dont forget your camera and binoculars!
Cycling
Two adults 21-gear mountain bikes are provided for use by guests (lights, helmets, etc. are recommended but not provided). Why not pack up a picnic and a bottle of wine and explore the easy flat countryside and villages of Romney Marsh. Or for the more experienced rider, the towns of Tenterden to the north, Hastings to the west and New Romney to the east are realistic destinations.
Walking
The surrounding area is criss-crossed with footpaths allowing easy access to some beautiful countryside that you just wouldnt see from the road. An Ordinance Survey map and a compass are provided to make sure you dont get lost.
History
As one of the Cinque Port towns, Rye is steeped in history dating back to 1066 and beyond. The fairytale castle and moat at Bodiam, the abbey and battle site at Battle, the clifftop castle at Hastings are just a short drive away. Within Rye itself there are many fine examples of historic buildings from the Ypres Castle (parts of which date back to the 13th Century) to Lamb House (1722) and the old 15th Century Mermaid Inn.
Antiques
Why not while away an afternoon browsing the many antiques shops around the town and down near the quayside. Haggle for a bargain or two and take home something to remember your stay.
Shopping
The town of Rye has a wide variety of shops that would satisfy most people, but for the serious shopper, the Designer Outlet Centre at Ashford is just 30 minutes away. With the Channel Tunnel terminal only 40 minutes away, why not bring your passports and hop across to Cite Europe for the day.
Wine Tasting
No need to cross the channel to buy your wine, there are a host of local award winning vineyards within easy reach.
Beaches
If you dont mind pebble beaches, you have Winchelsea Beach and Pett Level virtually on your doorstep, but if you want to feel the sand between your toes, Camber Sands is within easy reach offering miles of glorious sandy beach and grassy dunes.
