2 night stay in rye, what a lovely spot, short walk into town, 2 chairs and a table on balcony, over looking river, apartment could do with updating, but still very nice,and would 100% go back there, plus your own parking space, happy days..

We loved it! So easy to book, so accommodating re COVID-19 changes. Our 3rd trip, we plan to book again soon.

A very comfortable base to explore the surrounding area and visit Rye.. Easy walk to shops and lots of places to eat or have a cuppa. Lovely to be overlooking the river and watch the boats and birds with the ebb and flow of the tides. Apartment ideal for a couple, with clean and comfortable facilities. Wine and beers on arrival a nice touch.

A lovely apartment overlooking the River Rother. Super quiet location to enjoy a relaxing holiday. Rye is a quaint old market town, with cobbled streets and steeped in history. A very good place to explore the South East from. The apartment is very well equipped, the owners having thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and carefree. Highly recommended. One tip – book your restaurants in and around Rye well in advance if you want to eat out, as they fill up pretty quickly!
Mrs Lloyd, October 2020

A smartly furnished & well equipped apartment with a comfortable bed & pillows.. Well situated for exploring the Kent/Sussex borders and the delights of Hastings.We would not hesitate to return.
Mr Phillips, September 2020

16 The Boathouse was a lovely destination.. Everything was just perfect; clean, comfortable, well appointed, very well designed and thoughtfully furnished even down to the binoculars, complementary wine and beers too! Thank you for such a lovely destination, a real "find", we shall be recommending your site and the location.
Mrs Edden-brough, September 2020
August 2020
The apartment is well equipped, spotlessly clean and only a 10 minute stroll into Rye centre.. The whole experience was easy and professional and Geoff communicated everything well in advance. The bathroom has an excellent shower and the bed is extremely comfortable. We were blessed with fantastic weather and can recommend this area as it is a perfect base for visiting Hastings, Battle, Brighton and southeastern Kent
Mr Usher, August 2020

We were very impressed with the exceptional facilities that we had at the property can’t fault it.. We were also fortunate with the weather we would definitely book again.
Mrs Brown, August 2020

Great little apartment right beside the river.. Perfect location for exploring Rye which is quaint and interesting with some very good restaurants. Apartment was spotless and well equipped, even a bottle of wine and a couple of beers left for us!! Would definitely recommend

For a visit to this part of Sussex the boathouse was perfect, it’s nice and quiet but central to the town of Rye all places of interest pubs and restaurants within easy walking distance..
Mr Hart, July 2020
March 2020
Lovely warm apartment.. Ideal for chilly Winter/Spring break.. All shopping and eating walking distance. We had the most lovely days followed by some of the wettest I have ever seen. The river outside is different every day so it is great for bird watching coupled with, nearby, Rye Harbour reserve only a mile or two away.
Mr Baker, March 2020

Lovely accommodation in a good location to stroll into town.. Everything you need in the apartment... we enjoyed having the freedom you get staying staying somewhere like this, rather than a hotel or B&B. Thank you!
Miss Cattell, December 2019

We had a great weekend.. The location of the apartment is excellent and it was warm and cosy. The town of Rye is delightful.

Fantastic location for exploring the East Sussex area. The riverside location was beautiful, always something to see from the window, Flat was well equipped, comfortable and loads of information for the area. The town of Rye is lovely, people really friendly and full of history. The visitors centre is a great place to start. Owner really helpful and welcoming.
Mr Wicksteed
June 2019
Your Photograph of 16 The Boathouse is airbrushed beyond belief ! !! The actual view of the river Rother is one of nasty brown sludge even when the tide is in.16 The Boathouse is stuck in a timewarp.The decor,furnishings,duvet,bedding,pillows and decor think it is 1960 and all need replacing and bringing up to what we expect in 2019. We are extremely disappointed with everything about the place.
Mr Clark

Holiday was fine,but had to be re-booked at extra cost to me,which I felt was and is unfair..
Mr Wenman
March 2019
16 The Boathouse had everything and more for a great stay.. Inside was well equipped. It over looks a river, so it's a bonus to watch the birds come and go. Rye itself is lovely with plenty to see and eating out was a pleasure too.
Mr Wilson

Ms Cook

Plenty of wardrobe space and cupboards to put away our belongings.. Lovely bathroom well designed and all in all a very comfy flat.
Mrs Parker
September 2018
The apartment was excellent and well equipped, also the owner was extremely helpful and got back to us immediately regarding a small problem which he soon fixed.. A super position close to all amenities, we enjoyed walking around the town and there were several other local walks nearby. The approach road to the Boathouse is very poor at the moment due to building work and tricky after heavy rain. Hopefully this will improve.
Mr Ollis
August 2018
Superb relaxed holiday cottage, within easy reach of shops and good beaches..
Mr Wenban
August 2018
Easy access to Rye by foot, whilst being situated in a quiet and pretty location, was a real plus.. Also to be able to park in a designated space takes away the hassle of finding a place in a very busy town.
Mr Philpott
August 2018
The apartment is a little on the small side and my wife is a little claustrophobic.. It was otherwise very well appointed. It is a tidal river outlook so most of the time there is more mud than water to be seen. Rye itself is a lovely town in a lovely area.
Mr Marshall
July 2018
Location, facilities, all perfect..
Mr Moreton
July 2018
The photo is unrealistic.. It led me to believe I could enjoy a riverside holiday. The reality is that the boathouse is beside a muddy channel which, for most of the time, is a muddy puddle. It occasionally fills from the tide. We saw 2 boats only in a week. Also, I was hoping to be able to walk by the ‘river’ but there was no access. The boathouse was surrounded by industrial units, not very picturesque! The flat was exactly as advertised, clean and reasonably comfortable, but the location was misleading in the advertisement.
Mr Richardson
June 2018
As usual, it was all very smooth from start to finish.. The property was excellent and a great place to base yourself to explore the surrounding coast line. A very convenient location close to shops and facilities, but remote enough to be able to enjoy rural views. We will be recommending this to others and hope to return next year if we can.
Mr Cooper
June 2018
We really enjoyed our holiday in Rye at 16 The Boathouse.. Lovely views of the estuary and beautiful walks in the area. The apartment was clean and nicely furnished and the kitchen was well equipped. Parking was easy and we hope to visit again.

The property made our holiday even more enjoyable.. Lots of thoughtful touches eg a welcome gift of wine and beer and two torches to help us navigate the potholes in the road after dark.

We had a lovely stay in this clean and comfortable property. The accommodation was just right for 2 people. Everything we needed was provided- towels, bedding,etc and welcome drinks on arrival. Location was excellent - a lovely view of the river - watching it come in and out. Boats sailing passed the window- perfect. It was a short walk into the town which was much bigger than we thought and there was lots to see and do. Parking space was provided. The information from the owner was thorough and getting the keys was very straightforward. It was also a good base to travel around East Sussex. We would definitely like to stay again in the future.

Slightly difficult in the heat wave, with no access to outside shade, but that would have been true of most properties.. Pleasant and good for sight seeing.

Just returned from an amazing weekend in Rye. 16 the boathouse is a warm and cosy apartment on the river Rother close to the town centre. It had everything and more that we needed for a romantic break away, from soft towels to a complimentary bottle of wine and beers. It had free wifi and free view tv. There were books and games and binoculars to view the water birds and seals outside our window. Would highly recommend it to everyone! xx
Ms Thomas
June 2016
This was our third visit to this property and it is very likely that we will return in the future. It's very conveniently situated, with an ever-changing view of the river. The property is clean and comfortable and having a private parking space is a huge bonus in Rye.
Mr Seager

A comfortable, well furnished apartment with dedicated parking and an interesting view overlooking the tidal creek and fields beyond.

Mr Hancock

Second time we have stayed at 16 The Boathouse- will soon be three. Ideally situated just a very few minutes walk from Rye with its good bus services railway station. As rambler, we can do a variety of walks from the front door. It is an excellent apartment!
Mrs Sandy

Second stay in this lovely apartment. As before it was super clean and now has the added benefit of WiFi. The property is a stone's throw way from Rye in a very quiet location with easy parking. Excellent value and will return next year.
Mrs Powis
November 2015
Clean, comfortable, warm, and a great location. Good choice of restaurants, lots to do in and around Rye. Third return trip to this apartment. Will come again.
Mrs Wilson
June 2015
The apartment was first class and everything you would wish for. Had lovely views over the river and passing boats, with an abundance of birds and wildlife. The Boathouse is ideally placed to walk into Rye and there are plenty of local places to visit. Private parking is also a bonus.
Mrs Turner
March 2015
It was close to the town. Extremely warm cosy, clean and comfortable with a great bed and nice view. Everything you would need. Great.
Mrs Robinson
March 2015
The situation of the apartment was very good with easy access to Rye itself. It was very relaxing and comfortable, everything you could need. Would have liked a few more days there, just got settled in when it was time to leave, perhaps next time. All in all a lovely stay.
Alana S
February 2015
Superb location and facilities. It was a very cold but bright weekend and walking into 16 The Boathouse was welcoming and warm. The bedroom was basic and when the blind and curtains were closed it was extremely dark and peacefully quiet, just the ticket after exploring the streets of Rye. The onsite parking was a blessing as was the wine and beer on arrival. Hope to visit again and would recommend without question.
Mrs Powis
November 2014
Restful and reliably good again for the third visit to The Boathouse.
Mr Randall
November 2014
A good holiday always commences with the right property, we have stayed in many many properties over the years, and this one goes straight to the top of our list. The Boathouse is very well equipped with everything we needed and more. The apartment was spotless; the cleaning 'person' should receive a medal. The bed was very comfortable, had a good night’s sleep every night. Access to the centre of Rye took us just 5 minutes on foot, we were also able to visit many other places all within a short drive. Well done to the owner, a brilliant property, if we are East Sussex way again The Boathouse will be our chosen accommodation.
Guest
September 2014
Excellent, top quality accommodation within minutes walk of Rye centre. Welcome pack of beer and wine much appreciated by husband after long drive! The flat was fully equipped and tastefully furnished with a great view out over the river - we saw several boats sail past. Ideal accommodation for a couple, our second holiday away without teenage children - just what we could have wished for. Plenty of excellent cafe's/restaurants/coffee/tea shops - spoilt for choice. Good customer service from the owner when contacting him for key arrangements. We did not make use of the Wi-fi as charges were very high, would have preferred small cost to have been included in the rent. Car parking in numbered bay right outside property.
Mr Vaughan
August 2014
Lovely apartment, very clean and well equipped. Great location, being on the river. Very relaxing and only a 5 minute walk into the town of Rye. We had a lovely break and came home feeling chilled out. We would love to go back again and would definitely recommend The Boathouse to friends and family.

Recommended. Detailed comments are: - Location. Overlooking a channel between the River Brede and River Rother on the outskirts of Rye. Access is down two unmetalled roads. The first one you reach on entering Rye, Shipyard Lane is too narrow for safe passage between parked cars of the neighbouring terraced houses. Better to take the next turn which despite appearing to be just the access to industrial premises, continues around to the property and is mostly surfaced. View from apartment interesting with a wide variety of water birds and the ostrich(?) farm beyond. Easy to walk into Rye and leave the car parked in the allocated space. Ideal for visiting Rye and the surrounding area. - Equipment. Modern, well furnished and extremely well equipped. You will find everything you need and more. Good power shower and a decent bathroom. Bed just a touch small for a couple used to a larger bed but fine for a week away. - Neighbourhood. Good hints and tips from the owner including which restaurants are worth a visit.
Mr Ross

Mrs Whitby

Rye is a wonderful place to visit, and the Boathouse was within easy walking distance of the lovely cobbled areas. I loved seeing both the sunrise and sunset from the sitting room, and liked the tidal river. Interesting to see the birds feeding in the mud. It was both quiet and private, so we were able to relax properly.

If your looking for a nice quiet well appointed apartment in the town of Rye you would have great difficulty in getting any better than 16 The Boathouse. The place was spotless with good facilities and a nice bottle of wine and 2 bottles of lager to welcome us. If there was any downside it would be the decrepid yacht hulks moored in the river outside of the window but this did not detract from the overall enjoyment of our stay. The contact arrangements and key collection was ver easy with no problems at all.
Mrs Powis

Second visit here, not disappointing in any way. Hope to return. Great, peaceful location. Comfortable and warm. Cannot fault it!

Plenty of very good places to eat, good local fresh shellfish and bread from baker. Lovely walks. Easy access by train and bus, so could leave the car in the bay. Good parking. Friendly locals. The flat was very clean. Sofa and bed comfortable.

This is a really delightful small flat in a lovely place. The flat is located on the edge of Rye but is convenient for a walk into the town itself and has a beautiful view onto a tidal river with picturesque marsh land spreading out into the distance. (With, bizarrely, an ostrich farm visible in the middle distance.) The flat is quite small but beautifully presented and was in immaculate condition when we arrived. There were some really nice touches such as a bottle of wine etc and it was very easy to cook in. The side of the flat facing over the river has a big french window with a tiny balcony and the flat is very light and pleasant to sit in. Rye itself is beautiful and a lovely place to hang out, from the castle to the church to the numerous pleasant shops and pubs, and places like Camber Sands and Hastings are very accessible via public transport. Only two very small gripes stopped it from being a five-star experience: one was that the hot water in the bath was very erratic and if you're one of these old fashioned people who prefers a bath to a shower you might find it frustrating, and the second was that the front aspect of the flat itself is rather gloomy and ugly. But these are very easily overlooked. We went with a toddler and were slightly nervous about the window and the balcony as there was a sheer drop down a story onto a stony ledge next to the river, but it was relatively easy to secure. Also the owner was extremely friendly and helpful which went a long way.
Mr Swanbrow

Pleasant location. More than enough crockery, cutlery and glases to name a few. Didn't want for anything. Finding a bottle of wine and some beer on arrival was a lovely touch. A really good place to stay.
Mrs Hill

The apartment was clean and in excellent order. The location for us was ideal close to the town, as I have some mobility problems. Plenty of interesting places to visit nearby. Rye had a good selection of restaurants so no trouble in eating out.

This apartment was in a lovely location, well appointed, clean and provided with all thats needed for a comfortable stay, we were there for a week and enjoyed it immensley. Rye itself is a interesting place to explore full of history with plenty of cafes,restaurants in close proximity. Within easy striking distance are historic towns such as Battle, Hastings and Tunbridge Wells just to name a few.Be aware however that this apartment is at first floor level accessed via a wooden outdoor stairway which could be a problem for those with mobility difficulties particularly with suitcases.

visited rye many times in the past and stayed in the town at various cottages but this was the best due to the parking facility in a town with limited parking.the boat house was a delight with the river and boats going by and the apartment having all mod cons.only down side was sofa bed for third person being time consuming.
Ms Marsh

A smart apartment in a delightful setting overlooking the river. We spent many an hour with the balcony doors open just watching the birds and boats and the view.

We stayed at 16 The boathouse for 3 nights from 2 March to 6 March. The location of the apartment is perfect, a very short walk from the town centre. Parking is very easy with allocated space. The apartment itself is very clean and well equipped with both bath and overhead shower. The bed is very comfy and towels fluffy. My husband and I were very happy with our choice as we thought it might be too noisy if we stay in other accommodation in the heart of town as they are over pubs and restaurants. The apartment was well situated but very quiet. We contacted the owner Geoff 2 nights before our holiday and the arrangement he made for key collection was perfect. On our last day, we moved our car to a space allocated for visitors so we can still use the car park after we vacated the apartment and this help us to squeeze in a few more hours in Rye without worrying about parking. We will definitely go back to Rye as it is not far from home and will try to book this apartment again. Geoff has also recommended a few restaurants and we tried the Ship Inn one night, They do lovely seafood as well as other meat. A three course meal without wine cost us just under £30 each. We also went to the famous Webbe's - the Fish Cafe and had lunch there. Again, 3 courses without wine cost around £30 per head. There are other cheaper options but as we did some cooking some nights, we decided to go to try these 2 eating places and we weren't disappointed. Webbe's also has cookery courses and I am definitely going back with my friend for a one day cookery course - another excuse to return to Rye!

Very well presented apartment with beer and wine left on the table as a welcoming gift.The apartment was very clean and comfortable and had an allocated car parking space. The views from the lounge were wonderful with ever changing scenes as the tide ebbed and flowed. At high tide boats sail past the lounge window virtually within touching distance (the flat is on the first floor) There are lots of walks and the harbour and beach are just a short drive away. The town of Rye is very attractive and has lots of places to eat out in, though it is best to book for the more popular ones. There is a guide book with comments in the flat
Mr Oertel

A very quiet location with good views over the tidal quayside from the lounge window. At high water you can look out from the Juliet balcony to see yachts sailing past about 20ft away.

First class accommodation and location. We would highly recommend Sykes Cottages and 16 The Boathouse to anyone! Thank you.

The views from the lounge and the flat is very convenient to shops and restaurants which we could easily walk to. Some very interesting places to visit near Rye, very nice holiday.
Mr Coleman

The cottage has a lovely situation overlooking the river and within close proximity to the town centre. There was a high standard of cleanliness and a bottle of wine to greet us. The owner is friendly and gave helpful advice and recommendations on food shops and eating places nearby.
Mrs Roberts

It was perfect to be in a wonderful apartment overlooking the river estuary where it was peaceful, but to only be five or ten minutes walk away from Rye town.

We were fortunate enough to stay in this lovely apartment last week, and were extremely sorry to leave! It was comfortable and spotless, and the owner made himself known during the week to see if everything was going ok. The views over the river estuary and changing tides were fascinating, including the antics of ostriches on the other side of the river(I haven't been drinking, honest!) Would recommend to anyone who asked me for somewhere to stay in Rye. Quiet and peaceful but only ten minutes stroll into the middle of town.
Mrs Prior

Rye is a great town. Location of apartment was excellent with river/ostrich interest. The design of, and facilities in, the apartment were perfect for two. Nice touch of wine and beer - simple but so rewarding after the drive there!
Mrs Baker

The holiday apartment was excellent and it's position was such that we were in walking distance of Rye town centre with all it's amenities. There was a lot to see and do in the surrounding area.
Mr Whalley

16 The Boathouse is set in a quiet location but near enough to Rye to walk into the town. Good location for touring the local area.
Mrs Shailes

First class apartment, the owner has given much thought about being a home from home. To top it all, a bottle of wine and some lagers had been left. We would definitely recommend to others and we would stay there again if wishing to stay in area again.

We had visited Rye many years ago when our children were young, and fancied a short break there. We found the Boathouse on the internet whilst searching for accommodation, and booked a weekend break. This was at the end of November 2010, just when the cold spell started. We loved the well equiped apartment, lovely view over the river and very handy for Rye with its great selection of pubs and restaurants. Despite the weather (we had snow!), we really enjoyed our stay, it was nice and cosy, so much so, that we have booked it again for later this year, hopefully it will be warmer outside!
Mr Hutson

As described and in a great situation. Coldest weekend in November ever, but we were nice and warm!
Mrs Goss

The views from the apartment were overlooking the quay and also an ostrich farm on the other side of the quay. The apartment itself was small and comfortable with everything that you could need for a holiday. There were so many pubs and restaurants and curiosity shops in walking distance. Unless we went far afield, we didn't need to use the car. We had a lovely holiday.

Enjoyed our stay in this clean and well presented accommodation. The owner clearly had thought of everything you would need including the use of a bicycle! Well situated within 5 mins walk of Rye Town and 10 mins to local Railway station which was great as we didn't have to use the car unless we just wanted to go to the local beaches. Plenty of good local restaurants including a chippy. Only disappointment with accommodation was no garden/area to sit out in but did not present a real problem as only stayed one week.

Excellent location, quiet but close to Rye town for walking and central to other attractions. Can also use the train to Hastings.

Shops, restaurants and general ambiance in Rye. Gardens and houses within easy reach; attractive countryside and villages. The interesting location of the holiday property on the tidal river.

The flat was as it appeared in the brochure - clean and well decorated. It was in a good location - 5 minutes to walk into town where there were some excellent restaurants and interesting shops. It was an added bonus that the train station was a 10 minute walk away so we didn't have to use the car every day for sightseeing.

Within easy walking distance of the Rye and its railway station, making it unnecessary to use the car, except for visits further afield. Also, two bicycles are provided for guest's use. There are several interesting and safe cycle routes within easy reach of the property, which we explored.

It was a last minute booking and we were not disappointed by the apartment or its location with nice views and close to town as stated on the website. The owner went out of his way to leave flowers, beer, wine, milk, tea, coffee etc and all the necessary kitchen supplies ie dishcloths, washing up liquid etc. He also left bikes for our use which was a nice thought. The area itself was very interesting and we were very lucky with the weather
