  Great place for a relaxing stay

  I very much enjoyed my stay at Sea Breeze. It was a well equipped and comfortable house that was perfect for me and my dog. The sofa was extremely comfortable and I ate breakfast on the sun-drenched deck each morning. It is also only a very short walk to the beach. Importantly the heating was very effective and there was plenty of hot water.

  Relaxing late break

  Left on 05/30/2011 for a stay in May 2011
  
  

  Myself and hubby stayed at Sea Breeze for a last minute break. Ive always wanted to go to Rye and this lovely new cottage was within an easy drive to it. We booked late and had great service from Richard who gave us lots of info about the area and was keen to ensure we enjoyed our stay. The owners had left us some groceries and a bottle of wine, which was a nice touch. The property is on a new development of houses that reminded me of New England- ours was right next to a fenced (safe) pond,full of frogs-most interesting! The cottage was very clean and well equiped-although not huge, there was just us 2 in a cottage that slept 4 .We used the single beds coz the double was a bit 2 low for us - we had a wonderful couple of nights sleep! The shower was also fab. We were lucky enough to have lovely weather and found he beach quality to be a great surprise - lovely sand and close enough to walk to.We went into Rye to eat at one of the many pubs and had an enjoyable night chatting to the locals. The next day we went to look around Rye and viewed the presentation at the heritage centre first- this gave us info and history before we walked around the small town and we also went up the church tower - great views. When it was time to come home, I persuaded my husbamd to take me to the outlet shopping village at ashton - he read the paper whilst I shopped - a perfect end to a perfect weekend!
