  • "Lovely cottage and surrounding areas Ideal central point to visit Rye, Tunbridge wells, Canterbury etc."

    . Well maintained and could tell it was a new property Beds were comfy. Well presented house throughout. Welcomed the tea and coffee - thank you. Would have been nice to have some board games, books available. The only draw down was when arriving we were not sure if there had been pets in the house as we could smell pet odour which didn’t leave the house all week- despite us using air freshener. This was quite off putting as the booking policy states no pets.

  • "From the moment of booking, the service was excellent."

    The cottage was perfect. Absolutely immaculate. Could not fault whatsoever. Location good. Able to walk round reed beds and enjoy nature. Could walk into Rye itself (long walk to actually get into town), but found it best to drive past the industrial part and park in layby nearer to the town itself, but not in it. Rye itself is lovely and so much to see. Will happily return to cottage and town.

  • "The cottage is in a great location, allowing superb walks without having to drive."

    The cottage was in wonderful condition. The bedrooms are 'snug' with double beds. Overall we were delighted with all aspects.

The property

1A Coastguard Cottages sits peacefully in the coastal village of Rye Harbour, East Sussex, offering a relaxed seaside bolt hole for couples or small families keen to slow the pace and enjoy life by the water.

This characterful holiday home blends traditional charm with everyday comfort, making it an easy place to settle into from the moment you arrive.

Inside, the living and dining room feels warm and welcoming, a great spot to put your feet up after a day outdoors, with an electric fire and TV ready for laid-back evenings.

The kitchen is sensibly laid out and well stocked for self-catering, whether you’re preparing a simple breakfast before heading out or a hearty supper to enjoy back at base.

Two comfortable double bedrooms provide restful spaces at the end of the day, both with their own TV, while the bathroom offers both a bath and shower for added flexibility.

There are two premium sofa beds in the lounge, both sleeping two people.

A handy cloakroom and external utility space make longer stays all the more practical.

Outside, the enclosed wraparound yard is a real bonus, offering a private area to enjoy a morning coffee, dine in the fresh air, or simply sit back and listen to the coastal sounds drifting in from nearby.

With generous off-road parking, arriving and exploring the area is refreshingly straightforward.

Rye Harbour is a haven for walkers, cyclists, and wildlife lovers, with nature reserves and open skies right on the doorstep, ideal for birdwatching and gentle coastal rambles.

The shoreline invites peaceful strolls, while the nearby village pub and local shop are easily reached on foot.

A short drive brings you to the cobbled streets of Rye, where antique shops, galleries, and historic inns line the lanes.

Camber Sands offers sweeping beaches and wide horizons, while Eastbourne provides classic seaside charm, gardens, and a lively promenade.

Whether you’re drawn by coastal walks, quiet village life, or simply the pleasure of being close to the sea, 1A Coastguard Cottages makes a wonderfully placed base for exploring this scenic corner of East Sussex.
