This holiday cottage is spacious and bright thanks to the stylish interior design and attention to detail. Quiet and peaceful, it is located right on the coast, and perfect for a seaside break.

Located just a stone’s throw from the beautiful Winchelsea Beach and with stunning panoramic sea views, this property is ideal for families looking for a classic seaside break. Surrounded by glorious countryside, this cottage offers both a rural and seaside escape whereby keen walkers and cyclists can explore the Rye Harbour Nature Reserve or Fairlight Country Park which are both on your doorstep. The pretty medieval town of Rye, famous for its cobbled streets and smuggling stories is just 3 miles away and offers a wealth of independent shops, cafes, and restaurants in which to explore, whilst slightly further afield Hastings Old Town (8 miles) offers plenty of family seaside entertainment. There are many castles, gardens, and National Trust properties to visit in the area including Bodiam Castle (14 miles) and Great Dixter House and Gardens (11miles).

There are steps up from the parking area to the front door which opens into a light and airy lounge/kitchen/diner which has been stylishly decorated and offers dual aspect windows that ensure you can enjoy the glorious sea views at any point. The lounge area is cosy and inviting with a large sofa and two armchairs with a smart TV for you to curl up in front of and watch your favourite programme. For evening meals there is a large dining table with seating for eight where you can enjoy relaxed family meals that have been whipped up in the well-equipped kitchen. There is an electric oven and gas hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, washing machine, and a dishwasher. There are three ground-floor bedrooms, two king-size rooms, both offering beautiful sea views and one of which has an en-suite WC, and a triple bunk bedroom which has a smart TV. The property is completed with a shower room that has a walk-in shower and a WC.

Outside, a wraparound patio area is a perfect spot to enjoy a summer BBQ or morning coffee. A handy outdoor shower is great for washing off sandy toes after a day at the beach.  There is an extensive decked area with sun loungers.  There is private off road parking.

We had a wonderful stay at High Knapp. Winchelsea beach is on your doorstep. Such a lovely area to stay. Easy drive into Rye or Hastings. The property was nice. Once youve managed to park on the drive it leads to a really lovely place to rest & relax. It had everything you needed & our kids loved it. Outside shower was useful. Summer house was a peRead morerfect place to sit and relax. Decking area great, due to gorgeous weather some form of shade or umbrella would have helped. We hope to return soon! Hide

I was expecting a prettier place and setting and thought that was what we were paying the (high) price for - but we had a nice time, being birdwatchers! The keypad did not work so we had to hang around to enter but it eventually got sorted out! It is a nicely bright home being high up - but the steps make it impossible for some folk, I imagine.

A lovely clean, well equipped property, very close to a pebble beach so the road can get very busy. Parking area is tricky to get into but there is just enough space for 2 cars. A short drive to Rye, which is a very interesting small town, with lots to see.
