Georgina

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay excellent accommodation very comfortable. Beautiful position and fantastic hosts. We hope to return. Georgina and Susi.

What a lovely cottage everything was thought of and the extra little touches made all the difference full sky tv sports and cinema including in the bedroom, extra towels for use in the hot tub, and such a lovely welcome pack with lots of extra titbits biscuits, coffee pods, jams, butter, milk, orange juice, wine etc all very thoughtful and appreciated. We loved our stay and were sorry to leave will defo miss the hot tub!.

One of the pictures on your website of the cottage was very deceiving. It looked as if, from the garden of the property, you could see across the fields to the sea. This was not the case. That picture must have been taken a long time ago before all the hedges and other greenery had grown around the garden. You could only see the sea from the garden if you stood on your tip toes and peered over the hedge.

Lovely cottage, perfect for us, perfect location. It was a pleasure to meet and chat with owners Mark and Nina. We would love to visit again in the future.

We had a fabulous holiday at Willow cottage. The owners Mark and Nina were lovely hosts, the welcome gifts on arrival were very thoughtful, and set the scene for a lovely break. Willow cottage was so homely, with all the comforts of home and was so tastefully decorated. We were lucky as we had great weather all week, definitely recommend taking a walk around Rye, some lovely places to eat out at. We enjoyed the beach at Camber Sands, great fish and chips! Willow cottage was an absolute sun trap all day, we managed to have breakfast and lunch el.fresco and finished the evening in the hot tub. We would highly recommend Willow Cottage and we will be returning!

We had a lovely relaxing stay at Willow Cottage. Nina was very friendly and helpful. The accommodation was perfect and had everything you could need, it was very comfy and a short car journey into Rye. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful cottage in a nice quiet setting. Our dogs enjoyed playing in the secure garden. The welcome pack was exceptional & much appreciated. Cottage located perfectly to enjoy Rye & Hastings. Lots of dog friendly pubs around serving excellent food at a reasonable price. We hope to visit again in the future.

Teresa

A great place to stay close to Rye and safe garden for our dogs

Jacqueline

Excellent location for exploring the area and all it has to offer. Cottage very comfortable with access to a private garden. Although it is a wing of the owners home, it is very private. Owners complimentary welcome pack of food was very generous and well thought out.

A lovely spacious two story cottage with all you could wish for a comfortable stay. Very dog friendly, a much appreciated welcome pack and a nice welcome from Mark and Nina. From our experience, impossible to fault.

Robert

A fantastic property from which to explore everything East Sussex has to offer.

Geoffrey

Lovely cottage. Great views to the sea. Nice garden for sitting out and the dog roaming around. Nice and quiet plus close to Rye. Would strongly recommend

Very much enjoyed our recent stay at Willow Cottage. Well maintained property, clean and with good facilities. We stayed in early November and despite the bad weather, the cottage was cosy and warm. Secured garden, which our dogs loved. Lovely views from the cottage towards the sea and within easy travelling distance to the town of Rye.

Willow cottage is a lovely well presented property. Welcome pack surpassed all expectations and made us feel really welcome. The owner couldn't be more helpful and answered all our queries promptly. A lovely area to explore if only the weather had been kinder.

Deborah

Lovely stay in Willow Cottage. Very spacious and comfortable. Welcome pack was a lovely touch. Oven just needs a good clean and more mugs provided, there was only 4. Clearly some had been broken along the way and not replaced. Hot tub was a great addition especially for teenage son! Great base to explore the area. Hosts Nina and Mark very friendly and helpful.

Wow The cottage was amazing. We had two dogs with us and the garden was 100 secure which was one of my main reasons for booking as both my dogs like to run off. On arrival the owner was cleaning out the lovely hot tub which was a god send after long walks with the children and dogs. The welcome pack was the best we have had on a cottage break and the kitchen facilities and information booklets were second to non. Also the internet and sky tv package was by far the best we have had on a cottage break which pleased the wife as me and my son watched Arsenal beat palace on the first night lol. Great cottage and great location to many walks and town centres 100 recommend willow cottage.

Heather

Recieved a warm welcome from the owner. Beautiful property. Furnished to a very high standard Fabulous Night Owl bedding and Villeroy & Bosch crockery. The cottage was immaculate, bright, light and very tastefully furnished. Very dog friendly, throws provided for sofas, poo bin in garden etc. The garden was delightful and immaculate. The views across fields to the sea was outstanding. I was lucky eith the weather and was able to relax in the hot tub aftet a busy day enjoying the view. The owners provide the best welcome pack I have ever seen, wine, beer, milk, eggs & bacon, bread, condiments, crisps and snacks, tea, coffee, sugar. If you arrived frazzled you are good to go for delicious breakfast , drinks snd nibbles. I particularly enjoyed a nice espresso coffee machine and pods provided. Top quality eco friendly cleaning products, loo roll, dishwasher tabs provided. Myself and my two spaniels had a lovely, relaxing, comfortable week at Willow Cottage and felt totally recharged. Willow Cottage is gorgeous and myself and the dogs will definately be back.

Willow Cottage is just what we were expecting warm, comfortable, first class in every aspect. The welcome pack was the best weve ever had. The garden is very secure for both large and small dogs and the whole area is very dog friendly. We would thoroughly recommend Willow Cottage to friends and family and if we return to the area in the future we would definitely stay at Willow Cottage again. Thank you so much.

Stephen

Willow Cottage is a lovely, relaxing place to stay. The cottage, garden and of course, hot tub, all made our stay into a wonderful relaxing break. The hosts were very helpful and friendly and the welcome pack outstanding! The location just right, on the outskirts of Rye, not too far to go to visit the shops etc. Would definitely go again!

Lovely place, beautiful views, everything we needed for our stay, friendly owner made us welcome. Appreciated the welcome pack, would definitely return.

Joanne

REally lovely cottage, very clean, everything explained really well and lovely touches upon arrival like food and toiletries and dressing gowns. Overall it was a fantastic weekend.

Superb stay at a property that had everything you could wish for. Spotless, well equipped with attention to detail in every area, a beautiful location with views from the hot tub. Very helpful and friendly owner who did everything possible to make our stay comfortable.

We loved our stay at Willow Cottage and will defiantly be returning.

Alison

The cottage was wonderful, very well designed. It had hotel quality facilities. Very dog friendly with enclosed garden. The countryside location was great with distant views towards the sea. Did many coastal walks including Winchelsea, Rye Harbour, Camber Sands and Dungeness. Rye was great with many places to eat and drink. Rye Museum and Rye Church worth a visit. The owner very kindly left a welcome pack including wine, milk, orange, bacon, eggs, bread, butter, cakes and crisps which was much appreciated. Also owner personally welcomed us and said goodbye as well. More than we had ever experienced before! I would like to record enormous thanks to the owner and will hopefully return in the future. Our Jack Russell loved her holiday too.

Jackie

Lovely cottage set in beautiful countryside just outside Rye we will definitely be back soon. Lovely hosts

Cottage fantastic. Holiday spoilt by lack of fuel for us to see area

The cottage was perfect with a beautiful interior and a private garden with lots of furniture and a bbq for dining outside. There is a very generous welcome tray with lots of thoughtful extras provided. The hot tub is large and fantastic to use after a busy day out and about in Kent and Sussex. It is positioned well for getting around, the local pub would be a walk on a busy road with no pavement. The local station is a stroll down the lane if you wanted to leave the car at the cottage. We had a fantastic week, and loved our stay.

We all had a great holiday, the owner was very helpful and and went out of her ... We all had a great holiday, the owner was very helpful and and went out of her way to assist on our arrival, cottage was well equipped with everything we needed, the cottage is a real credit the owners and a true home from home holiday

Lovely place with excellent views to the sea from the garden. The cottage was really well laid out and the welcome pack was the best we have ever had.

Sandra

Very spacious and pleasant place to stay.

Katrina

We had such an amazing time at Willow Cottage! Great location, great place and great hosts! Would definitely recommend this place to friends and family and would return in the future!

Andrew

What a welcome pack! to welcome you after a long journey. The cottage was well equipped and clean & tidy. The kitchen was well equipped and had really useful items which made the stay really comfortable. Many other owners can learn from Mark and his wife. Overall we were really please and would not hesitate to visit again. Even the detail regarding our dog was well catered for which makes the stay even more enjoyable. Thank you so much! Andy & Jenny

Sandra

Willow cottage was ideal for us and our spaniel, the owners have thought of everything. The property is open plan downstairs, modern, spacious, comfortable and well equipped with quality furniture, kitchen appliances and utensils. There's extra thoughtfulness with the welcome hamper and goodies in the fridge, we were well provided for. Another extra was a bed, bowls, towel and furniture cover for our spaniel to enjoy a home from home, who could ask for more. The garden is secure and has lovely views towards the sea, we visited in March so not the time to sit outside but can imagine it would be delightful in the summer with patio doors that can be opened fully, we didn't use the hot tub either! The rural location just outside Rye is peaceful but near enough to the town for sightseeing and shopping or Camber and Winchelsea for beach walks. We hope to come again, it is an interesting part of the country and this cottage ticks all the boxes on our wish list.

Such a beautiful cottage, clean, comfortable, modern, homely & spacious. The hamper was amazingly generous & the owners had thought of everything, from bowls, blankets & a bed for your dog, to bathrobes, gorgeous towels, fluffy cushions & all mod cons for us! 100 would recommend staying here for your short or long break away! Thank you x

Great cottage, lovely owners.

Frederick

Larger than expected, comfortable property.

Claire

Lovely comfy cottage in a beautiful setting with stunning views. Hosts think of everything, great welcome pack, even bowls and bed for our two dogs home from home. Definitely recommend.
