Local Towns
The Historic Town of Rye is
a 'must visit' with its cobbled streets
and antique shops, and the ancient towns of Battle and
Winchelsea are all
within a short drive. The seaside town of Hastings is four miles away
combining a fascinating old town and funicular railway with many
family attractions, shopping centre, cinema, night clubs and bars.
Tenterden in Kent is also easily accessible and well worth a visit for its
old fashioned shops and steam trains.

Beaches Sun worshippers will
love the beach at Camber with its dunes and miles of golden sand. Those
seeking quieter spots may prefer the beaches at Pett Level and
Winchelsea just minutes from the house. For the more adventurous, the local beach,
down the cliff, opposite Stream House, provides total seclusion and
privacy undiscovered by other tourists. Try this one at your own risk but
we haven’t lost a guest yet! There is also a naturist beach within easy
reach.
 |
| Walks and Leisure For
walkers, the local fields and woodlands are latticed with footpaths, some
leading to the sea and along the cliffs. Hastings Country Park with its
picture postcard scenery is not to be missed and is only minutes away. A
host of other leisure pursuits including Cycling (bicycle hire in Rye),
Swimming, Tennis, Golf and Horse Riding are all available locally. |
Houses, Castles and Gardens Why not
visit one of the many famous houses such as Lamb House in Rye or
castles
at Bodiam and
Hever. Garden lovers will adore
Great Dixter, (our
personal favourite) and Merriments
whilst Sissinghurst is also a popular
choice, particularly with guests from the continent. |
Places to Eat. Those who enjoy
good food will find several excellent country pubs within a five minute
drive. A wide range of restaurants and every type of cuisine is available
in the local towns. We will happily reserve tables at your chosen
restaurant or pub and can suggest somewhere special if required. |
