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.

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.

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.
