| | | Location | | This outstanding bed and breakfast business occupies one of the most famous landmarks in the beautiful ancient town and Cinque Port of Rye in East Sussex. The Grade II listed windmill stands on the banks of the River Tillingham within a two minute walk from the town and enjoys exceptional views over the town itself as well as the coastal plains of East Sussex coast.
Characterized by its cobbled streets, medieval fortifications and historic buildings Rye attracts visitors all year round from throughout the United Kingdom and overseas, particularly North America and the Far East. As well as its tourist attractions Rye has a good range of shops and is the commercial centre for the surrounding villages with an active local community.
The town also serves as a convenient base from which to explore the surrounding area with its many attractions including the famous castles of Hever, Bodiam, Leeds and Herstmonceux, the sunnings gardens of Sissinghurst, Great Dixter and Scotney Castle, as well as wildlife reserves and sandy beaches all within easy reach. In addition the area attracts a number of interest groups such as cyclists, ramblers, bird-watchers and golfers.
Rye enjoys good road links to Hastings, Eastbourne and Brighton to the west, and train services to Ashford with connections for London, Paris and Brussels via Eurostar. An improved service from Ashford to London St Pancras due to commence in December 2009 will reduce the journey time to 37 minutes. The M20 may be joined at Ashford via the improved A2070 and A259. |
