Our communication with the hostess before our arrival was very pleasant and personable…she even answered all my questions and gave suggestions of places and things to do…we were traveling with eight children and 3 adults and were definitely put at ease once we entered the residence…the staff did a wonderful job of supplying all that we would need until we could get to the shops, seeing that we arrived the night of New Year’s Eve…the home was the epitome of old English charm, and we delighted in exploring it’s nooks, crannies, inglenook, Asian artifacts, a wonderful supply of history books on the area, and a lovely rear garden…the home was clean, amply supplied with towels, linen and a basket of local goodies in the well stocked kitchen…we stayed almost a week and never tired of the local shops, the castle and church on the hill, a short drive to another castle and a day trip to Hastings…we had the most wonder time, thanks to the hostess from the bottom of our hearts, and are looking forward to our next Rye holiday at Robin Hill
