Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Rye

From the moment we stepped inside River House Rye we knew that we had chosen he right place ! A real home from home, but with a unique design that we simply wouldn't dare to do ... such a great place to stay and so easy to explore Rye without moving the car off the very spacious drive ! Globe pub very close by, provided ideal location to eat & refresh as did other places that Helen recommended. Even a little drizzle couldn't spoil our visit .... simply fantastic! We will definitely return 🫶

The Artist’s Cottage was an amazing place to stay during our visit to Rye! The town is extremely walkable and the cottage is close to everything: an easy walk to the train station, grocery, castle, and church. We loved how quirky the cottage is (definitely mind your head no matter your height!). There’s plenty of room to spread out, a foosball table our son loved, and lovely views from the upper bedrooms. Nick and Rachel were quick to respond to any inquiry and offered a lot of recommendations. We would love to come back!

A delightful beach cabin experience. I booked this beautiful home for a recent girls trip. Sofia allowed us to get access early as several of us had come on overnight flights. The home is easily locatable and perfectly situated. We spent four nights, enjoying long dinners at the dining room table, sitting on the back deck, enjoying the stunning view and sleeping peacefully in the lovely bedroom. Sofia was responsive throughout our visit, and even let us check out a little bit later than planned so we could further enjoy the beach. note that this is a very low tide beach. If you’re hoping to swim, you will likely need to go to another part of the beach. The water is ankle deep goes out at that level for a very long way. The kitchen is very well appointed, the beds are super comfortable. I am a stickler for having decent hot water for a nice bath, and that was not a problem at all. Thank you so much to Sofia and her partner. We look forward ved every minute.

We had a lovely stay at Hilary's place. It was comfortable and had everything we needed. Hilary kindly put out a travel cot and high chair for our 1 year old as well. It's right next to the beach. So we enjoyed popping over to the vast golden sandy beach multiple times a day. Would recommend!

Great few days at Camber Cottages. The decor is as the photos suggest, very much in the ‘shabby chic’ beach cabin style. The courtyard at the back is sweet and the living space easy with large groups. The beds were comfy & linen lovely and clean and fresh. The outdoor furniture could have been more comfortable and perhaps a few more seats useful for larger groups. The armchair in the front window a bit worse for wear. Camber sands beach is literally a 5 minute walk over the dunes which made it really easy with kids. Rye is charming & we had a great visit to local vineyard Tillingham.

What a beautiful place to stay. We sunbathed, played games on the beach and chilled out on the verandah all weekend - it was perfect for a group of friends! When booking, we hadn’t realised there was no road access to the house (our oversight!!), so this is worth bearing in mind. You will need to carry bags etc across the beach or sand dunes to get to the house. The house is evidently a much loved family home and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in an absolutely beautiful location.

Had a lovely stay in Rye! Steve and Diane are thoughtful hosts and left us a basket of goodies to enjoy during our stay. They were also very responsive and adapted to our needs! Thanks so much!

Really lovely place in an outbuilding of a beautiful property. The property was private, but close enough to the main house and for visits from their 3 lovely dogs. The place itself was really functionable, with everything you'd need for a nice break away from home inc. kitchen equipment, washing machine, outside sofa etc. We were 2 adults, 1 toddler and 1 newborn + grandma and the space was a perfect size for our group. We'd recommend the Ferry Inn for a nice pub meal and the Gusbourne vineyard is definitely worth a visit. There's some lovely countryside on your doorstep too.

The apartment is very nice, tastefully decorated. We felt right at home! Nothing is missing in terms of equipment, point +++. Bedding is great! The location is ideal, making it easy to visit Hastings and the surrounding area on foot or by transport and combining the calm and proximity of the city center. Madelaine has always been responsive and the welcome was very pleasant and facilitated by the explanations and advice given on site. The little touches on our arrival are a real plus! It's good to know that the noises and footsteps from upstairs can be heard, but Madelaine & her husband have always been very respectful and these noises are therefore not annoying. Thanks ☺️

Beautiful place to stay. We will definitely be back 💜

Fabulous! The place was immaculate, really comfy bed, extremely well appointed, amazing view, the communal area smelt amazing,aswell as the apartment! Thanks for a great stay

The apartment is stylish, comfortable and very clean. We loved the view and the space was great, high ceilings and period features. Having been to St Leonards before we knew that our favourite restaurants were walkable too. Moyra was a great host and very helpful and considerate about check in time, much appreciated.

I stayed at The Shed for ten nights. Tina and Jerome were the perfect hosts. From the very beginning I felt at home. A very quiet site three miles from Dymchurch, one is assured a peaceful stay at The Shed with just the odd car or tractor passing by. Tina and Jerome live in the adjoining house, previously known as the Royal Oak. Jerome invited me into their house for an afternoon cup of tea and later, I was invited to join them in their garden for a chat and a glass of wine whilst we watched the sun go down. Moments to treasure. The King size double bed was very comfortable and the kitchen had everything one needs. I really didn’t want to leave. David.

The cabin is comfortable; harmoniously decorated; and calming. The view outside is spectacular. The location is peaceful. Thank you.

This was the third consecutive year weve had a long weekend at Bindu's property. I never tire of the view. Keeps you fit getting to and from town but excellent location.

Great location by the beach. Excellent communication and helpful recommendations. Thanks again!

Loved this cosy apartment in beautiful Rye. Located on the high street but very quiet at night and easy to walk everywhere. Very clean and felt just like home. Would have loved to stay longer. A little secret gem in Rye.

We had a great stay. Steven was very responsive to our questions. His place is as described and would definitely stay again.

This is an absolute gem of a place and location, with views right across the Darent Valley. I only wish we could have stayed longer! The place was spotless and everything had been perfectly prepared and very well thought through (from the local hand-drawn maps right down to the vast array of toiletries on offer). I can't think of a single thing to change or improve about the place. Diana was a lovely host and provided a lot of information prior to arrival. She had also found some suggestions of activities for us tailored to our interests, which was frankly above and beyond. We were very grateful and it was clear a lot of thought had been put in prior to our arrival. I could carry on for pages but in summary, we have already recommend the place to family and friends and we be pleased to offer our recommendation here too. Thank you, Diana, for such a lovely place to stay and we hope to be back soon!

Clean and next to the beach. No problems.

Fabulous appartement with superb sea view. Excellent host, always responsive. The only downside was that we found the local neighbourhood less attractive than expected, but it can be a good outpost to explore for example Rye, Battle and Brighton. (There's a lovely sandy beach near Rye in a town/village called Camber, but beware of seagulls if you picnic, which you must because the quality of the local shops on the beach is terrible.)

we had a wonderful stay. Everything was perfect. Beautifully decorated, and so comfortable. Samantha was very helpful, and easily contactable. The views were amazing. great restaurants and bars in easy walking distance. we will definitely be back. Thank you Samantha for a lovely stay.

Patrick was an amazing host. The place was absolutely beautiful and perfect for our needs. Patrick was very communicative and happily helped us get the fire place going. Would recommend staying here.

Had a lovely stay at Oliver's place. The flat is super nice, comfy and with stunning sea views. It's also close to lots of restaurants and shops. Oliver was also super helpful and accommodating, and sent us lots of really good recommendations. Would definitely stay there again!
