Description

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.

We wonder if the owner has ever stayed overnight in the cottage.

Whilst it’s beautifully appointed and looks lovely, the impracticalities of staying here outweigh its charms. We are fit but elderly and found the uneven floors a hazard. The heating controls are difficult to see and on some to get to. The rigid metal curtain tie backs (lovely) protrude dangerously in the front bedroom with the extremely narrow access to the bed. The shallow wash basin in the bathroom makes the shelf above dangerous. The dining table and chairs, very quirky, are impossible to sit comfortably at.

We had a fantastic time -the property was very comfortable and welcoming and we appreciated all the little touches (tea,coffee etc and welcome book) one of our party was on the sofa bed and she found it comfortable and easy to manoeuvre.

We are hoping to book again for next year ☺️

Coastguard cottage is a comfortable holiday home with everything you will need for your stay.

As mentioned previously the beds are a bit tight to get into but the rooms themselves are spacious. A lovely cottage in a quiet location.A few minutes walk brings you to the local shop, pub and cafe..Highly recommend the pub ,friendly staff ,good food and beer.There is an interesting coastline to walk along ,with a visit to the life boat station or walk further to the Discovery Centre, where you can lookout across the reserve watching the wildlife. The local bus will take you into Rye which is well worth a walk around with rail and bus connections along the coast, We enjoyed our holiday here and will hopefully visit again soon.
