Oct 22, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely cottage in a picturesque village We spent a lovely few days in the cottage. It is clean, well equipped and very comfortable. The local pub, the New Inn is very friendly and serves excellent food. The cottage is well placed as a base to explore the surrounding towns, villages and countryside, the most notable being Rye - check out the Waterworks microbrewery for a really friendly pub serving great beers, wines and gins. We would definitely return to the cottage. ##### Pauline P. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Ravi D. Jun 26, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Winchelsea Lovely house, well equipped. Needs some r TLC. It was not possibile to open the window in one of the bedroom. The mattress in the other bedroom needs replacing, springs too soft and on the right hand side rhere is a significant dent. There was a leak in the kitchen ceiling the first morning, after contacting the house manager it was fixed promptly. We loved the village and the comfort stay. ##### Ravi D. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Susanne G. May 6, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Excellent location and charming house but needs some maintenence Winchealsea is a real gem! The house is in a brilliant location, it's charming, nicely decorated and comfortable, with a good shower and good beds. The kitchen is also well equipped. We must mention though, that it really needs some maintenance, there are numerous things that need a spruce up, fixing or replacing. It has the feel of a place that has been done up nicely many years ago, but has only had basic care since then. We've ended up with quite a bit of a list to feedback which we will email the owners directly. We also missed a bit of that personal welcoming touch. The communication with the key holding services were purely transactional, with no welcome message or little treat waiting for us at the house which we experienced everywhere else we booked so far. Having said all that, we had a wonderful time and would definitely book again if those maintenance items were addressed. ##### Susanne G. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary S.

A brilliant base for walkers. I would recommend. The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped but I suggest there are a few areas that need a bit of attention. The key safe is very stiff and difficult to open. The front door lock is tricky...probably just in need of some maintenance. The downstairs loo...is frustrating when there is a party of 5 in the house.

The accommodation is very comfortable. Our only negative would be the upstairs loo- it’s effectively in a cupboard ( a proper water closet!) but does mean people can still access it if the bathroom is engaged. ##### K This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Craig Sep 23, 2019 #### We had a lovely time staying in Winchelsea cottage. We had a lovely time staying in Winchelsea cottage. The kitchen was well equipped and the garden much larger than the pictures show. Winchelsea is a lovely little place with an historic church, a cute farm shop and a decent play park. The cottage was adequate though quite tired in places. The third bedroom didn’t have a radiator which made is chilly! Would recommend a stay here. ##### Craig This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### clare Jan 9, 2019 #### clean, well-equipped and tastefully decorated- everything we needed for a christmas break - it's nex clean, well-equipped and tastefully decorated- everything we needed for a christmas break - it's next to the interesting old church and near a pub. about a mile and a half to winchelsea beach. ##### clare ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Riu Dunamar - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-Riu-Dunamar-All-Inclusive.h18133944.Hotel-Information) > > [The Porch House](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Porch-House.h4595892.Hotel-Information) > > [Millcroft](https://www.expedia.ca/Penrith-Hotels-Millcroft.h26994538.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Manchester-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Manchester-City-Centre.h2601411.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [Burgh Island Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingsbridge-Hotels-Burgh-Island-Hotel.h34611055.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Hull Marina by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Hull-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Hull-Marina.h10609.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn London-Gatwick Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Horley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-London-Gatwick-Airport.h16918.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Kingston](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingston-Hotels.d6057821.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Heathrow Windsor](https://www.expedia.ca/Slough-Hotels-Heathrow-Windsor-Marriott-Hotel.h3830.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.ca/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [The Belfry](https://www.expedia.ca/Birmingham-Hotels-The-Belfry.h3976.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.ca/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/del/vancouver-to-delhi) > > [Flights from Goffs (YHZ) to Lisbon District (LIS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/lis/halifax-to-lisbon) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Abbotsford (YXX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yxx/toronto-to-abbotsford) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Phoenix (PHX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/phx/calgary-to-phoenix) > > [Flights from Thunder Bay (YQT) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqt/yyz/thunder-bay-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Sepang (KUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/kul/toronto-to-kuala-lumpur) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/yyz/vancouver-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Montreal (YUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yul/toronto-to-montreal) ### Packages > [all inclusive vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations) ### General
