Comfortable cottage in a great location. Everything you need is there with easy parking 1 minute away. Easy walk to shops and cafe on the high street and lovely and quiet at night. Would stay there again due to location.

We have stayed at Chesterfield Cottage on several occasions and always enjoy it. The location can’t be beaten - right in centre of the town. The Cottage is cosy and comfortable with a wood burner to add to the ambiance.

Such a sweet little cottage right in the centre of Rye. Great communication with the host. Very functional kitchen, netflix on the tv, fire starters and kindling for the fire, warm house when heating is on, comfortable beds and good pressure on the shower.

Quaint little cottage

We spent a few days in beautiful Rye and really enjoyed our time in the cottage. The location is great and the decor is cozy. We enjoyed the small garden to have a coffee there in the morning or to sit outside in the evening.

Third stay and still loving it

This little cottage always makes us smile. It is cosy and comfortable. It has everything needed for a self catering break. It's quaint and located in a super spot near the shops. We'll be back next December all being well

Great Location. Unfortunately there was a very strong smell, I think of stale cigarette smoke. As you couldn't open the sash windows it was difficult to clear the air. The TV works off apps only, there is no live tv, so a bit difficult to work out how to work it.The fridge was very dirty with remnants of food. The stairs are very steep (which is expected in a 17th century cottage) but I feel it should be highlighted as a less agile person would struggle to navigate them. The bed was comfortable and bedding clean, however, as you can't open the sash window I struggled with the stale smell upstairs.Beautiful cottage but would benefit from a little TLC.

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.

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!

The cottage is so special. We had a very comfortable and pleasant stay. A word of warning, however. The stairs are not for the faint hearted!

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.
