About this property

Merrythought Cottage - 2 bed, 2 bath cottage in the heart of Rye citadel

Situated overlooking the front doors and huge stained glass windows of St. Marys Church. This newly renovated Grade II listed 2 king sized bed, 2 en-suite apartment makes you feel at home on your stays to this stunning town.

Take a stroll down the cobbled streets to the famous Lamb House, or soak up the art galleries around the High Street before heading back to share a meal and glass of wine around the dining table seating 4. The modern kitchen has all mod-cons needed for a comfortable stay.

Great cottage, great location

This is a lovely cottage that has been renovated to a high standard. Most of the accommodation is upstairs with a good sized lounge, lovely and well stocked kitchen and a sizeable primary en-suite. Down stairs next to the entrance door is the 2nd bedroom with an en-suite. It had everything you needed for a stay. 2 minor grips - the downstairs was a little musty-smelling but this is an old cottage and upstairs had loads of windows and was lovely; and the church chimes kept me awake :) The location is brilliant and we would definitely return

Charmer in Rye

Great location - walkable to everything in town but tucked away in a quiet corner. Parking was manageable and the rental was clean with modern kitchen and baths although the downstairs en suite was tiny.
