Lovely cosy little cottage in a prime location. Very clean and warm. Towels provided.Just a short walk to the best streets and quirky shops and a big plus, was a Bus stop right outside, easy for getting to Camber sands.The Spiral staircase was a bit precarious but we managed ok.My only negative is the bed was really uncomfortable. It really Needs a new mattress as springs were so bad, hurting our back and making it difficult to sleep.

Brilliant location of the property. Easy access and good communication with the owner. Car parking was close by and very reasonably priced. Property had everything you needed - was good to have a small outside space too, however we felt the decor was tired. The quality of the bed linen/ towels was not what we expected and smelt a bit musty.

A little gem

A lovely little cottage retaining many original features. A well set out kitchen, given the space constraints, and a clean, well maintained bathroom. Comfy for 2 adults, with the furniture, log burner and exposed beams making the sitting room very cosy. The stairs are (very) steep, and the property would not be suitable for anyone with mobility issues, but that is flagged in the description. Very central location for Rye, and easy parking in the cattle market car park. There is also short stay parking immediately outside the property, making it easy to unpack on arrival and pack up again when leaving. Lots of lovely pubs and restaurants within 5 to 10 minutes easy walk. Highly recommended for couples.

A fascinating old house in a great location, great to stay somewhere interesting but it is small and with low ceilings. Stairs require reasonable mobility, parking outside is short term, there is easy and cheap parking around the corner on Rope St.

Another excellent stay at Chesterfield Cottage

We have stayed at Chesterfield Cottage many times and have always enjoyed it. If you are staying in true this location really can’t be beaten. Literally seconds from the famous Rye landgate and all of the local pubs and restaurants. Also only a few miles from Camber Sands. The cottage itself is very quaint and comfortable and we have found it to always be clean and well maintained. Thoroughly recommended if you want to visit Rye.

Bijou but quirky and so convenient!

Our family of 4 plus woofer dog had a great time and Chesterfield cottage was great to base ourselves from. The courtyard was a little suntrap in the afternoons for the very rare times we actually stayed in the cottage during the day. Comfy and everything we needed - thank you again Richard for having us!
