Overview
Property code: OC-RH1045

This beautiful, terraced cottage sits just inside the historic Landgate in Rye and is perfect for couples or small families looking to explore this delightful town and its surrounding areas. Start your holiday by taking a short stroll into the centre of Rye where you’ll find modern eateries and quirky boutiques juxtaposed with old-fashioned antique shops and medieval buildings and inns. For something a little different, take the short 3-mile drive to Winchelsea. Here, visitors can take a tour of its labyrinth of underground cellars and vaults or enjoy a trip to the Court Hall Museum and learn about, ‘the drowned city’ of Old Winchelsea that now lies somewhere under Rye Harbour. For those wishing to visit the coast, the beach of Camber Sands is an easy 4-mile drive from the property.

This delightful end-of-terrace home with origins dating from the 1300s was converted into an individual cottage in the 16th century. Whilst maintaining many of its original features and period charm, it has been lovingly decorated and furnished with the greatest attention to detail offering a truly exceptional place to stay. Once inside the property, guests will find themselves in the open-plan lounge/diner. With comfortable sofas, a wood burner set within a wonderful brick fireplace and wooden floors and doors, as well as a dining table for four, this is a wonderful space for guests to relax together. The country cottage-style kitchen has quality appliances including a cast-iron range cooker. Steps leading from the kitchen will take you to the snug; a sweet little room with low ceilings and exposed beams, a TV and a window seat – perfect for a bit of quiet time. Cottage-style stairs lead up to the first floor where you’ll find a modern bathroom, and a double bedroom with a wrought-iron bed and ornamental fireplace. Further cottage-style stairs lead to a heavily beamed attic twin bedroom, with sloping ceilings and skylight windows with views of the Landgate. This room has partially restricted head height, plus, twin 2'6" beds making it suitable for children only.

To the rear of the cottage is a pretty courtyard with a feature wall fountain, plants and flowers, and garden furniture.

It was a great place to stay, very adorable cottage. We did not expect it to be so central. The instructions were clear. Upon arrival, we found lots of recommendation on local areas etc. We would definitely book it again.

The property is beautiful and in a superb location. It has loads of character and period features, although can be quite tricky to move around in due to the first floor stairs!

This is a delightful, quirky, Grade 2 listed cottage with charming interior decor. The front is so attractive, with its display of geraniums, that we saw other visitors taking photos of it. The pretty garden is small, but definitely big enough, and a sun trap in the afternoon. There is a good supply of cookware and an eclectic mix of plates, glasseRead mores and cutlery, as well as the usual kitchen appliances in the tiny but more than adequate kitchen. The cottage is close to all amenities - shops, pubs, restaurants, etc. - but off the main drag, so quiet at night. This is a lovely cottage in the charming town of Rye and we loved our time there.

Lovely quaint cottage in the centre of Rye with all the old charm and features you expect from a property if its age. We found it comfortable for 2 adults and a dog.

Providence Cottage is beautifully presented, comfortable, characterful and extremely well situated. Our hosts made extraordinary efforts to make us feel welcome and at home. We stayed over Christmas, so didnt use the garden but felt that this would make a lovely retreat in the summer. The information pack was very helpful.

Nice, historical cottage in a great Rye location. Generally very good, but some very challenging staircases, so definitely not suitable for the very old or very young. But for the able-bodied it's very nice.

I loved this house - it makes you feel as if you're a part of rye, the fire and stove gave the house a warm feel. there was something interesting to look at from every window. it had bags of charm and we all felt very much at home. It's neat, but for us had just enough and was really cosy.
