This quality one-bedroom split-level apartment has its own access and entrance via mahogany decked steps and sun balcony. The purpose-built apartment, located on a private quayside, provides superb views of passing yachts and the marsh beyond. The secluded location and the almost hypnotic effect of the tidal river as it ebbs and flows will swiftly put you into a relaxed frame of mind. Key features · Riverside apartment on private quayside (very private and quiet) · Elevated mahogany decked balcony (south facing) to sit and relax (watch the passing boats and birdlife) · 5 minutes walk to centre of Rye · One bedroom with Double Bed · Fully fitted and well-equipped kitchen · Linen, heating & lighting are all inclusive (towels extra) · Free Wifi · Smart TV · Non-smoking apartments · Allocated parking for one car · Gas-fired central heating (well-insulated warm apartments) · No other self-catering establishment in Rye offers you all this · Over 340 different guests have made repeat bookings, of which 84 have been 4 or more times, in total 1,133 repeat bookings!!! There are 6 steps onto the sun deck and apartment area. And 6 steps down into the bathroom and bedroom area.
Hi, I'm Toby! I am a local artist who lives in The Boathouse, Rye. I travel a lot and like to let my property to guests when I am away. I love living in Rye and consider it one of the most enchanting and enjoyable towns in the South of England. You will see some of mine and my father's original art on the walls. Art that has been inspired by the town and local landscapes. I hope you have a wonderful stay at The Boathouse. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions about your stay.
If you are after peace and quiet then The Boathouse is for you. The apartments sit on a private quayside with a southerly outlook. Beyond the opposite bank of the river lies Romney Marsh with Rye Harbour in the distance. The river is tidal so at breakfast you may catch a sailing boat gliding by and over lunch you could be watching a clutch of dunlins nosing for food in the mud of the river bank. The pleasures of Rye's cobbled streets are barely 5 minutes walk. Further afield you are within easy reach of Winchelsea, Battle, Bodiam, Canterbury, the Channel Tunnel and the Kent countryside. The 'invitation only' golf links at nearby Camber are well known and the adjacent Sands are glorious at any time of the year. Golf courses can also be found at nearby St Leonard's and Seddlescombe. Other activities include sailing, windsurfing, fishing and an abundance of walks. The nature reserve at Rye Harbour boasts several hides. Cycling is an excellent way of exploring Romney Marsh using the tangle of narrow lanes, where you can discover Norman churches and 15th Century smugglers pubs.
