7 Waves

A great place to stay for a very pleasant stay.

An excellent base to explore the town on foot and the area for its many places of interest.

Great location and great views.

The flat in general just needs updating, furniture and decor. And thorough cleans after each guest. Sherry did come and do a better clean which we were grateful for and she was absolutely lovely. Gave us some great recommendations.

7 Waves is a very comfortable, well-equipped apartment in a really peaceful setting.

We loved watching the wildlife around the river.

Excellent location by the river and 2 minute walk into town.

Have booked before and will book again.

Another return visit to 7 Waves, and, as usual, it didn’t disappoint.

Comfortable apartment in a lovely setting conveniently located for access to Rye and the surrounding areas.

The towels and bedding were very clean and smelt lovely. The bed was super comfortable! We had everything we needed for a pleasant stay.

Our second visit, so obviously happy to book this accommodation.

A very comfortable property. A minor quibble, but we could not find the torch. Luckily we keep one in the car. Also, probably down to us, but we did not manage to find how to get sub-titles on the TV. Personal choice, but we prefer a gas hob, but not a deal-breaker, and in any case we were happy to eat out several times, particularly the nearby 'Simply Italian'!

Lovely apartment with gorgeous views over the tidal River Brede and fields beyond.

All the facilities you needed. Linen and plenty of fluffy towels. The rest of the apartment was very clean, but the shower had black mould and the toilet was dirty; both improved with some bleach. We went to Kino cinema, which was fun. Plus, the Rye Nature reserve and discovery centre were a good day out. Flackley Ash Hotel, Cobble's and Hayden's we would highly praise for good meals. We certainly would recommend this apartment to others, if they just cleaned the shower etc. a bit better.

Lovely property.

Convenient for visiting the area Really quiet and restful Love to go again

The bedsheet had what looked like dried blood stains.

Despite contacting Sykes first thing the next morning to ask for a replacement no one responded to my request. Poor cleaning and poor service.

Lovely apartment and perfect for exploring Rye and surrounding areas.

Sitting on the balcony watching life go by on the river was very relaxing and accommodation was ideal for a short stay. Very comfortable bed and facilities. Would love to come back again.

It is a lovely comfortable apartment to visit the surrounding area.

Most of the essentials were provided, but a paring knife or peeler would have been useful. Lovely fluffy towels and a very comfortable bed. There were a few areas of cleaning which could have been improved. I did try to hoover, but the one provided hadn't been emptied in ages. Even after I emptied it, it didn't pick up much. Overall a lovely relaxing stay.

Third visit to the property.

All good, lovely location and so convenient to walk into Rye itself. Good base to visit the surrounding area. May try and get back later this year and hopefully again next year.

Cons: Outside furniture, arm rest fell off one of the folding chairs, when sat down for first time.

This constitutes a near miss. ( Did makeshift repair on arm by reconnecting threaded "Allen" bolt, owner must check this). The other wooden seat has a badly split main support timber on the seat part. Please change chairs as accident waiting to happen. (I did try and report and send pictures to a phone number given in your literature which appeared to be a contact for the owners, but no response). Dirty tissues and visible dust in bedroom behind bedside tables.(Pictures available) Dust and cobwebs around most light fittings. The place had not been cleaned thoroughly. TV old fashioned. We would expect to be able to import our own viewing platforms, IE Netflix, Prime, I player. Onto a smart TV. Black mould starting to get a hold on shower grouting. The fan timer needs to stay on longer after leaving bathroom? Pros: Excellent Bed Lovely quality furniture throughout. Superb leather sofa (actually sofa bed). Good display unit of local attraction literature Sunny veranda Very quiet Lovely view and riverside Good location for Rye and Rye Harbour Very easy to relax and operate in. We loved it.

Quiet, comfortable, convenient apartment.

Unfortunately in need of a deep clean. Walking distance from the quirky little town of Rye with lots of places to eat. Plenty of walks in the area also bus and train station only 10 minutes walk.

We had such an enjoyable and restful stay.

We can’t thank you enough for looking after us so well. You spoilt us with a lovely bottle of wine. Above and beyond.

With only a short walk into Rye it was the perfect place to stay to explore this picturesque historic town and surrounding area.

It was comfortable and had everything we needed. I especially enjoyed my morning cuppa on the balcony in the sunshine listening to the birds by the peaceful river.

Disappointing not a 5 star property.

Shower unit is very very unpleasant. There is mould in the grout, silicone seal, round edges of glass units and behind metal shelf. Really not pleasant to use. Mould on bedroom window behind blind. Room looks great but one wardrobe contains the boiler. This cuts in and out through the night so if you are a light sleeper take ear plugs. It also contained paper and milk sachet waste, cleaning bucket and someone elses jersey shorts. No hanging space. The other wardrobe has hanging space but you have to share it with the vacuum, broom, ironing board, airer. Some areas not dusted thick in places. Ice cubes stuck to back of freezer unit. One of the outside wooden chairs has a broken arm. Such a shame there is an issue with cleanliness as otherwise the property is comfortable and well situated.

The property was fine but let down by the lack of cleanliness.

The shower was very dirty and is in urgent need of a deep clean. One the first day I had to clean the long side with a nail brush to make it usable The bedroom also needs a deep clean. We dropped something behind the bedside cabinet in the corner so we pulled it out to find paper, sweet wrapper, cobwebs and masses of dust!!

We had a lovely stay and the property was comfy, neat and tidy.

Some attention may be needed to the mould in the shower and around the bedroom window. The property is just as described and in a good location to the town. The one thing we did have a real problem with was the poor state of the road to the property. There are huge pot holes filled with rain water making it difficult to get through. Felt like the car was going to get stuck or be damaged.

As repeat users of 7 Waves, we found the property to be up to its usual high standards, delivering everything we wanted for our holiday.

I have no doubt that we will be back again in the future.

Great place and ideally suited for visiting Rye.

Took us a while to realise that the reason we had no hot water was that the boiler was not turned on! Apart from that no issues. Lovely apartment.

Has everything you need for a self catered stay, yet only a short walk to pubs and restaurants if you want to eat out without worrying about driving.

It is compact, but comfortable for two. The heating system is more than adequate for cooler days.

Nice apartment and a very quiet peaceful getaway, perfect little bolthole for staying in Rye which is beautiful with lots to see and do.

A lovely apartment, comfortable, clean and well equipped.

An easy walk into the pretty town of Rye, and a good base for exploring the area around. Watching the coming and going of the tides and birds in the Rock Channel, right outside the front door, was an added bonus.

We had a very comfortable stay at No, 7 Waves.

A nice welcome pack, including Prosecco, greeted us on arrival and the apartment was spotlessly clean. We had a small problem with the boiler which was quickly rectified on our first day. The view from the balcony was lovely and the bed was very comfortable. Wish we could have stayed longer!

This was our fourth visit to 7 Waves and, as usual, the property was immaculately presented, well equipped and very comfortable.

Thanks for a great experience.

Excellent riverside peaceful location, car parking great and property nothing to complain about at all.

Would definitely book again

Our second visit here and would hope to return again next year.

Lovely convenient location for Rye itself and the area generally. The only negative, not unique to the apartment, is the entry road and to an extent the parking. Due to cars being being bigger and bigger the parking spaces can be quite tight. All in all though, thoroughly recommended.

Overall a very pleasant apartment with a very relaxing riverside view, the provision of chairs on the balcony was much appreciated, and the rooms are very comfortable.

The location is also very good for walking into the town. It might be an idea to add an umbrella in the property, we had three days of rain out of the four nights so we did need one, fortunately I had one in the car, but just a point to consider, the British weather does not always oblige when on holiday.

A lovely, beautifully-equipped apartment in an equally lovely - and in parts quaint and VERY picturesque - seaside town.

The Bird Reserve down at the harbour was a wonderful bonus. The weather wasn't 'kind' during our stay but we will certainly return in the future.

We enjoyed our week in 7 Waves and really love Rye.

The property is very comfortable, clean and well-equipped. The owner may like to know the radiator in the main room only got slightly warm. Also, we'd like to say, the cleaner was extremely helpful when my husband became ill at the end of the holiday. Thank you.

A perfectly situated, well equipped bolt hole in the heart of Rye.

Ideal location for exploring the south coast. The Waves is a good sized apartment, kitchen very well equipped. Good lounge area for relaxing and watching the river flow by. Shower good and powerful. Bed and pillows super comfortable, great sleep every night. The only drawback which we’re sure the owner has no control over is the road immediately off the main road. It’s extremely rough and uneven for ten metres but then tarmac after that. Don’t let that put you off, The Waves is superb.

7 Waves is immaculately clean, tastefully decorated and comfortable, and very well equipped.

We arrived to a lovely welcome pack and bottle of Prosecco, which was very gratefully received! So relaxing to sit out on the balcony with a glass of wine and watch the water flowing by. It also benefits from having a designated parking space and being less than 5 minutes walk into Rye centre itself. The only downside, which is beyond the owners' control, I should think, is the potholes in the road accessing the property. Definitely worth a visit!

Really enjoyed our stay.

Was clean and comfortable, maybe a cupboard to put food in! Loved the little lavender bags and the fact the bathroom always smells so clean. We managed to work out how to use the appliances which for a couple of oldies was good . Hope to come back again .

Have stayed at the Boathouse many times at Number 3 Tidal thought we would try Number 7 Waves and it is just as comfortable and well equipped.

Will be staying again soon.

Lovely apartment and stay, we will be staying again.

The only gripe was the dirt track access to all the properties. We realise this is not the property owners fault and maybe talks with Jempons Depot may be fruitful as the frequent HGV's attending are causing this issue. Kind Regards Paul & Jacqui

Very clean and comfortable and thought given to prevent spread of covid.

Kitchen very well stocked. Well situated with just a few minutes walk nto town. South facing deck overlooking the river. Just a word of caution Waves is approached via an unmade road with very deep potholes so would advise keeping to the edge or the road .

This was our third booking at 7 Waves.

It suits our holiday needs perfectly. 7 Waves is very well equipped, spotlessly clean, comfortable and easy to keep warm, a big deal for holidays in November. We would have no hesitation in using 7 Waves again. The only slight negative is the state of the access road at the junction to the main road, not something you can control but worth a mention. Thanks for another great stay. Andy and Heather Stead

Very comfortable accommodation in an amazing location, with easy access to Rye via Ypres tower or Mermaid Street, excellent walking routes to both Camber Sands, and Camber Castle and Winchelsea.

We stayed for four nights and had everything we needed as a base. Accommodation was mostly clean, however the dishwasher already contained items when we arrived and none of the bins were emptied, the bathroom and bedroom bins being full of previous guests items. Would recommend highly for a weekend break in Rye.

Only minor quibble - we could not get the TV to allow sub-titles.

There was a button on the Remote but we couldn't make it work! Shame there is no recycling possible for these flats.

Excellent apartment in a very interesting part of the world.

Comfortable, clean and well set out. A couple of minor items not provided - have fed back to owner - certainly not show-stoppers

Ensure toiletries are in place.

A kitchen roll and half used toilet roll will not suffice. Have your facts correct when accusing the renter of telling lies. Ensure dish washing cleaning is provided. If you leave an emergency phone number, please answer within a day. Don't patronize guest who have valid issues. A Pensioner having a body wash out of a bucket in the shower 3out

We've stayed in Rye on previous occasions.

This was our first stay in 7 Waves though we've stayed in one of the upper floor apartments in the same block previously. The property is in a superb location close to the lovely town of Rye and all it has to offer. Very well located also for exploring the area. We found the fixtures and fittings to be of a very good quality and felt very comfortable there. However, we did feel it was very much let down within the kitchen area. No washing up liquid provided, only 4 dishwasher tablets. We struggled slightly with a lack of utensils also. Not a problem for anyone eating out regularly but a slight inconvenience otherwise. In a nutshell it was perhaps as if the apartment was not fully set up for 'self catering'. We'd happily stay there again but would be mindful of these matters in the future.

Had a lovely time, everything you need for a self catering holiday.

Delightful property with everything one could need for a relaxing stay.

Lovely location within easy walking distance of all amenities.

We really enjoyed our stay.

The apartment was SO quiet and well situated. The goodies provided were very much appreciated. Personally the lack of a proper washing machine was not good and would influence whether we stayed for 2 weeks. We found no use for the dishwasher. The bathroom needed a small stool as we all get a little less stable as we get older. Also the bedroom could benfit from a small chair to put clothes on. .We were dismayed at the lack of any recycling facilities ( we took our recycling to a friend who lives in Westfield). Perhaps the Boathouse complex could invest in a recycling bin? We did have a lovely time

My wife and thoroughly enjoyed our stay very quiet and relaxing in an extremely clean and comfortable accommodation.

We were also surprised with all the little extras supplied. We would have no problem recommending this venue to friends and family. Shops, Bars and restaurants only a six minute walk away , thank you for a memorable stay. I only had one issue that big lump of tarmac at the end of the accommodation had a bit of a problem getting over it as I have difficulty walking.

Good location on the riverside with easy access to the old town of Rye, which is a delight.

However a few negatives: Sofa is not particularly comfortable to sit on. TV is awful, particularly the sound, and has no access to anything other than very basic Freeview (eg no access to Netflix, Prime etc). Welcome pack fairly useless. All rubbish goes in the same bin - why is there no recycling?

Once again, we had a great time at No 7 The Waves.

Property was spotlessly clean, comfortable and well equipped. We would have no hesitation in booking again Thanks

Extremely comfortable well appointed apartment.

Would love to return.

A lovely, comfortable property overlooking the River Brede.

Real sun trap of a balcony, especially in the mornings as it is south facing. Very quiet, easy parking and an easy walk into the centre of Rye with plenty of pubs and restaurants.

We were very disappointed with the cleanliness of the towels and bed linen which was very surprising as all the other reviews were very good.

This spoiled our holdiay right from the start.

A wonderful apartment.

We so enjoyed our stay here. So clean and comfortable. It was equipped with everything you could possibly need. The heating and hot water was so efficient. A very high standard of furniture and the bed was so comfortable. The view over the River Rother is lovely and we witnessed some fabulous sunrise. Would highly recommend.

What a lovely clean property, everything we needed , the welcome gift was a lovely touch ,would recommend

This was a delightful and cosy apartment for a pre Christmas stay for two.

The location was perfect with bird watching from the deck, a quick drive or easy hike to the nature reserve with the added bonus of being very close to the stunning historical town of Rye -particularly useful as we had snow & icy conditions which limited driving. We now only stay in accomodation that DOESN'T allow pets as we've been shocked and appalled at the way some pet owners treat holidays homes, pubs & hotels. I will certainly recommend this property to friends. Congratulations on providing such a safe, clean, warm & importantly NO pets policy.

An amazing apartment, very clean and comfortable.

Ideally situated for Rye Town. Loved the 'Welcome' pack.

Very happy - lovely accommodation, well equipped, clean and comfortable.

Designated parking space was a bonus!

Lovely well appointed apartment.

Best we have stayed in so fsr

Disappointed with lack of cleanliness, specifically in the bathroom and kitchen.

The shower drain was slow and was found to be blocked with soap and hair. The shower head was dirty. Old soap stuck to the shower tray. There was food waste in fridge, microwave and toaster. The kitchen sink drain was dirty and smelled. Suggest a deep clean.

Accommodation was exactly as described.

Very comfortable, clean and well equipped A gem of a property.

Great Location, So clean and lovely amenities

I left the owners feedback in their visitor book and some suggestions in a card.

Really enjoyed our three week stay.

The accommodation is of a high standard and very comfortable. It is situated in a tranquil location on the river with all its rich bird life. The terrace was perfect for a peaceful breakfast in the sunshine. Five minute walk to centre of Rye and the bus stop for Rye Harbour. Perfect location for walks too so we didn’t use the car once although we appreciated the convenient parking space. The nature reserve is a joy. Already looking forward to returning. Wendy & John

We loved the quiet location and being able to watch wading birds from the living room or deck.

An excellent situation, not far from the centre of Rye and amenities. Everything was clean and comfortable (nice comfortable bed). Small caveats: for us, a normal size washing machine would have been more useful than a dishwasher and the sounds from the boiler in the bedroom could be a little disconcerting at night, even when the heating was off. Overall though, a lovely spot and delightful accommodation.

I enjoyed my stay very much it was a lovely spot to stay in and the view across the river was super.

I loved Rye and had a couple of nice lunches and coffees out during my stay,

loved everything about this holiday apartment from great location to sitting outside with a great view.

very comfortable and easy to stay in. Would stay again

Warm welcome to the property by the welcome goodies.

Property clean, comfortable, well appointed for visiting Rye and surrounds

Excellent location and amenities, quiet and relaxing.

Perfect apartment, quiet location away from the crowds but a quick walk to the bars/restaurants/shops in Rye.

Loved Rye Harbour, Winchelsea and Camber Sands. Took the train to Brighton, Canterbury, Hastings and Battle for days out. 7 Waves is a lovely apartment in immaculate condition, would not hesitate to recommend it to others.
