About this house rental

Tollgates is a beautiful oak beamed, large family house with character, located just a short fifteen minute walk from the centre of medieval Rye

Two double bedrooms, two twin bedrooms and one single bedroom
A lovely detached East Sussex holiday cottage, perfect for large extended family gatherings and just a short fifteen minute walk from the centre of medieval Rye

Tollgates is the perfect holiday home for all the family, and parts of the property date back to 1850, so it comes with bags of character too.

You enter the property through the kitchen, which is large and modern with all the appliances you would want when on holiday. There is a kitchen table with seating for six - a pleasant spot for breakfast or afternoon tea. From the kitchen you enter into the large hallway, with a downstairs modern shower room to your left, oak staircase up to the bedrooms and doors to the other reception rooms. You have a children's TV snug - the perfect spot for children to play games or watch something different to the adults in the party, and if you are cooking tea, you can keep an eye on them through the secret hatch. The main lounge has comfy sofas, a large open fireplace, French doors out onto the terrace and windows overlooking the rear and the front of the wraparound garden. A lovely bright room all day long, and in the autumn and winter months it's very inviting with the fire lit. From the lounge you have doors leading to a large conservatory diner, with French doors out onto the terrace. There's a large sofa at one end and two tables that can be placed end to end in order to accommodate all nine guests in the party for a sit down meal. A great entertaining space at any time of the year.

Heading upstairs and you have a single bedroom on your right, with views across the marsh and the garden. To the rear of the landing you have a large master suite with ensuite bathroom and triple aspect views. There are two twin bedrooms, nicknamed the 'Pirate' and 'Mermaid' rooms. The 'Pirate' room has its own hand basin. There is a separate family bathroom with a bath and over head shower and a separate WC, next door. Finally we have 'Birdsong' room, a double with views across the garden and marsh.

The grounds wrap around the property and there is easily enough parking for up to four cars on the gravel drive. The rear of the property has been arranged to appeal to families with children, with an outside swingset, slide and table tennis which is a favourite whatever your age. There is a wooden playhouse for the smaller children in the party at the end of the garden and a lawned area perfect for a game of football or croquet. From the conservatory, you have a terrace area where you can dine outside or lay on one of the sun beds provided and take in the uninterrupted views of the marsh and the garden.

For tennis lovers amongst you, you are a five minute walk from Rye Lawn Tennis Club, so bring your racquets or for the golfers, Rye Golf Club is an ten minute drive.

The property was very clean, well equipped, spacious, quiet, and had a great garden for the children to play in. We had a lovely time and would definitely like to use it again. A great place for the three generations of the family who came from various parts of the globe.

The house was safe and well equipped and the garden and surroundings added to the overall enjoyment of our stay. It is a good place for a family gathering. Some of the furnishings are old and in consequence not in top condition but it is a relaxing and comfortable place to stay.
