  The property's lounge overlooks the river and south towards Camber Sands. The apartment was very clean and tidy and comfortable and warm. Welcome gifts left by the owners. Rye itself is a lovely town, surprisingly busy for its size, even out of season.

  Interesting view over tidal river. Relatively short walk into Rye, easy to access its facilities. Did not use the car all week, walked from flat or used the frequent bus service to local villages/towns to walk back. Will consider booking next year.

• "We had a great break at the apartment ."

  Enjoyed the bird life outside by the river, plus the binoculars were very handy . It’s a very well appointed property and minutes from lovely Rye centre , which was great. We also appreciated the fan as it was rather warm. Excellent communication with owner and overall very clear instructions. Couple of points, could you consider a non slip mat in the bath , plus moving the grab rail nearer to the shower. We also wondered about moving the toaster away from the cabinets to the counter top to avoid anything nasty happening . We had a marvellous time and looking forward to returning for another stay. Thank you

  Thank you so much for that lovely feedback, it really is much appreciated, as are the suggestions you have made. Property Owner

• "Very happy with property location."

  Lovely thought owner leaving wine & beer, very grateful. Impressed with quality of towels and bedding. Plenty of hot water, didn’t need heating & didn’t bother with ‘Alexa’! An oven tray would have been useful but all other utensils etc were provided and of good quality. No loo roll provided at all, we had to buy some, but sure this was an oversight and our only niggle. Spotless throughout, very comfortable, very satisfied and we would def go again!

  Loo-roll definitely an oversight, so please accept apologies for that. Your kind comments are very much appreciated, thank you. Please come and see Rye again. Our winter weekend breaks are very reasonably priced. Property Owner

  Perfect location by the river & only 5 mins walk to Rye town centre. Great info/details provided by the owner prior to our visit. Will definitely be coming again.One small thing, whilst we appreciate the covid reason for removing dvds, we felt that it would be good to still have a dvd player. Guests could then bring their own if they wish.

  Thanks very much for your feedback about the DVD player. I will give that some consideration. Thank you also for your other kind comments, much appreciated. Property Owner

• "Everything was good at 16 The Boathouse, it was clean and worked well."

  We would like a rubber mat in the bath and in our opinion the handle over the bath should be nearer the shower. Our main problem was Alexa, which wouldn't answer and therefore we could not turn the heating up. Lovely location though and wonderful Juliet balcony to watch the birds.

  Thanks for your feedback, especially the bathroom comments. We will look at putting another grab-handle at the shower end and we'll get a rubber mat. Apologies for the difficulties with Alexa, all now fixed and in full working order. We hope the default settings on the heating were OK for you and kept you warm enough, although we understand that you may have liked it a degree or two warmer. Property Owner

  A bottle of wine and some beers were waiting for us from the owner. Our weather was glorious and Rye was a short walk away. We will definitely recommend the property to our friends and family. Rye Harbour nature reserve is recommended for a variety of birds and we saw from our window red shank, curlew, oyster catcher, little egret, avocet and two gull varieties plus several boats when the tide was in. Plenty to visit within a radius of thirty miles. Oxney organic vineyard,Battle Abbey and battlefield, Romney Hythe and Dymchurch railway and Dover Castle were our highlights.

• "Beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean, warm and cosy apartment, very well situated within easy walking distance of the delightful old town of Rye with cobbled streets, narrow passages and plenty of great pubs,restaurants and cafes."

  . We arrived to find a welcome pack including wine and beer and the informayion folder was one of the best we have seen. Only drawback was the very poor wifi reception and we even struggled with accessing 4G until we went outside. The only other comment I would make is that we would have much preferred a Saturday to Saturday booking. Coming from the North the Friday traffic around London and the motorways was horrendous and added a couple of hours onto our journey time both coming and going. All in all though we had a great time and would certainly visit Rye again.

• "Good location within walking distance of the town."

  Comfortable accommodation with nice views over the tidal river. In places the property needs some updating and redecoration. The floor boards need attention as there are lots of squeaks and noise from them. The cleaning wasn't quite up to scratch. Drink stains left on the nest of tables, crockery found with dirty marks on (although that would probably be due to the previous occupants rather than the cleaners). They could do with a new vacuum cleaner as there were hairs on the carpet. So the cleanliness let the property down.

  The owner left us a bottle of red and a couple of ice cold beers in the fridge, great, after a long drive down. You do need a good torch , as we found out on the first night making our way back to the apartment . We found 2 in the broom cupboard the next day. Plenty of clothes hanging space ,with supplied hangers. We had our own parking space, which is great as parking can be very difficult our friends told us. Wonderful place to stay. I would stay here again. My one and only grouse, some of the floorboards creaked quite loudly,and as we are quiet people ,i felt sorry for the people downstairs, as our apartment was on the first floor. Thanks to Geoff the owner for a great place to stay.

• "Flat was very well presented, albeit slightly let down by the approach road."

  Just a few minor niggles - DVD/CD player was missing (don't think due to the pandemic - we'd been told the DVDs had been removed so we had taken our own) and no electric shaver point in the bathroom. Could have done with a few more mugs and a bigger microwave, and the wi-fi security was rather aggressive, blocking several fairly standard websites. Transfer of postponed booking from last year was handled smoothly and clearly, so thanks for that.
