Harbour Cottage in Rye, Sussex.

Harbour Cottage
Rye

Originally coastguards’ cottages built in 1860, the adjoining pair of holiday cottages are part of a terrace in this unique harbour area, which runs along the River Rother, with a busy yachting centre and fishing fleet. A Martello Tower was built at Rye Harbour to defend against invasion during the Napoleonic Wars. Visit the Rye Harbour Nature Reserve, a SSSI, where wildlife can be observed from several bird hides. Enjoy walks along the sea shore, across the fields and large areas of shingle. Camber Castle, built by Henry VIII, lies to the west of Rye harbour and can reached on foot. Rye is delightful with its cobbled streets, tea rooms and smuggling history. Enjoy the golden sands at Camber, and take a trip to Winchelsea, Battle and Hastings, all only a short drive from these holiday cottages. Golf locally.
