Beautifully decorated, lovely little courtyard garden but no comfy garden chairs to relax on. Rather dark inside and not suitable for very tall people as the ceilings are so low. Luckily the weather was pretty good so we were out all day. If the weather was not good, we would have struggled as there is no TV, wifi not great and no real comfortable chairs. Front of the house is right on the main busy road so can be rather noisy at night.

First let me start by saying this property has been beautifully renovated and the rooms have been designed and decorated impeccably in the Georgian style. Very cool, quirky and interesting. You can tell the pieces are all antiques and were carefully selected. The property is amazing for someone who loves history (like me) and always wanted to stay in an old Rye property. I am from the US and my husband is from London. Rye has always had such a special charm for me. This property certainly fits the bill for a unique historical property but also clean and comfortable. We had a little issue with check in but were able to get in touch with the host within a few minutes to resolve the issue and get in. The property has many bedrooms which were great for us since we were traveling with our 1 year old daughter and my mother in law. The house also has a pack n play for the baby to sleep plus a highchair. Do listen to the host's description of the property as far as the stairs go. They are winding and steep and are not meant for those who cannot handle them. There is a good amount of going up and down between floors to get around the house in order to access bathrooms, rooms, etc. I was calling it a "vertical" in jest as a contradictions to the traditional English "flat". Luckily our daughter is not walking yet so we didn't have to worry about her navigating the stairs. The stairs are part of what makes the house amazing so just to be aware of when booking for those who have trouble with stairs. The kitchen is expertly renovated with up to date appliances. Even the dishes and glasses were stylistically selected. The bathrooms are stunning, great and great plumbing which is not always a give-in out in the countryside. The location is also great - a short walk to the wonderful shops and restaurants in Rye. The one downside of the location is that the property is located on a curve where speed around and with the stroller and trying to cross was always a bit hectic and sometimes scary. The backyard reminds me of a cool urban backyard in Brooklyn but unfortunately we did not get to use it due to the weather. It looks great for family dinners and drinks. Beautiful outdoor furniture and solar lights to set a great ambiance. Our family had a wonderful stay here!

Family gathering to celebrate a special birthday. Lovely house, quirky and cool. Great outdoor space for both day and evenings with lovely outside lighting. Nothing was too much bother for our host who quickly responded to any queries we had. Thank you for a lovely time.

My friends and I had a wonderful stay in the Old Stout House. The owner has done an amazing job of renovating this beautifully eclectic property - everything has been carefully curated down to the last detail and the results are stunning. The location of the property could not be more perfect - close to the station, close to the supermarket and close to the gorgeous shops and pubs along the high street. We were also lucky to have warm(ish) weather for the duration of the weekend and so were able to sit outside in the lovely garden. All in all, it was a brilliant weekend - thank you!
