• "There's something instantly comforting about Landgate House. "

  • "Such a fabulous stay. We were a large group of friends so needed lots of room; it was perfect."

    — Harry, London

  • "Carefully restored...with thoughtful touches and some of the best interiors on this list."

  • Meet Landgate House, a 700-year-old grade II listed, five-bed gaff, beside the old town wall, and it has been sympathetically restored with a keen design eye. So while the flagstone floors remain, the decor is vintage loveliness – Windsor and mid-century dining chairs, art and a reclaimed glass bar from the Dorchester. Even better for families it has a garden which is rare in central Rye.

  • "It has all the character — wonky floors included — that you could ask for in such a stay. There are five generous bedrooms, including a bunk bed room for kids, the perfect country kitchen, and lots of interiors and artsy touches that urbanites will appreciate."

  • "It's a really great house – the owners have nailed the details and the location for getting around Rye is perfect!"

    – Suzy, Cambridgeshire

  • "Landgate House is lovely. Unbelievably cosy, comfortable and stylish. It felt like a real treat staying at here.

    — Daisy, London

  • "The bed we stayed in was way more comfortable than our bed at home. We'll be back."

    – Sanj, South London

  • "The house is the perfect tonic, just what I needed."

    Gia, Richmond
