솔트코트 플레이스 라이

Saltcote Place is a beautiful country house that is light and airy yet comfortable and welcoming. A great location just minutes walk away from The Globe pub (excellent service and great food) and the picturesque Rye town. As bird lovers we came to visit the Sussex Trust Reserve which is served by a free car park with toilets (donation if you so wish). The hosts Alan and Paul made us feel very welcome and are part of the Rye community and very knowledgeable and interesting people. Breakfast was delicious thank you Alan.

We really enjoyed our stay at Saltcote. Our room was enormous, with a lovely view and an equally enormous bathroom, both full of elaborate ornaments. The house (or rather mansion) is quiet and secluded, and only a 15 minute walk into Rye. We got a very friendly welcome including a glass of wine from Paul. We could choose from a wide variety of alcoholic beverages as a nightcap. It was then left outside our room on a silver tray. Breakfast was a highlight: fresh fruit, anything from many varieties and sizes of eggs benedict with homemade hollandaise to a full English, plus orange juice, buck's fizz or straight sparkling wine. Everything was beautifully presented. Paul and Alan are both very friendly, helpful and entertaining. Paul has a fund of stories. We stayed 3 nights and spent our 2 days exploring Rye and the interesting Lamb House, walking across Dungeness and visiting historic Winchelsea. There are some excellent restaurants in Rye. It was a wonderful break.
