Blenheim cottage provided a lovely stay on a working sheep farm with public footpath across the fields into Rye. The accommodation had everything required for a relaxing self catering break with easy drives to explore Rye, the Rye Harbour Nature Reserve Winchelsea, Romney Marsh as well as beautiful gardens & National Trust properties in land.The owner was very helpful with excellent recommendations and immediately contactable if anything required.

Holiday cottage was perfect for a long weekend stay, clean, well equipped and comfortable. The location was drew us to book this site as it was only a short drive to beautiful historic Rye, the beaches, and half a dozen wonderful gardens to visit.
