16th Century Cottage Situated Opposite The Medieval Landgate Arch

Chesterfield Cottage is a charming 16th century cottage, located in the heart of the conservation area of ancient Rye. It is situated opposite the Landgate arch and is just minutes from the historic attractions, antique shops, art galleries, bars and restaurants that Rye has to offer.

The cottage has two bedrooms and can comfortably sleep 4. There is a double bedroom on the first floor and a second bedroom in the loft that has two small (2ft6") singles.

The bedrooms and bathroom of the cottage are accessed via steep spiral staircases which may not be suitable for the elderly or very young. There is also a small step between the lounge and kitchen.

Quaint little cottage

We spent a few days in beautiful Rye and really enjoyed our time in the cottage. The location is great and the decor is cozy. We enjoyed the small garden to have a coffee there in the morning or to sit outside in the evening.
