Magnolia House, Rye

Rye

It is situated 44 km from Leeds Castle and offers a housekeeping service. The guest house provides rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. Me and my friend stayed at Magnolia House for 2 nights and everything was perfect. The house is located very close to the train station and to the city center. Javed, the host, and his staff are really nice people, friendly, kind and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable (pillows and mattress are amazing!), same for the bathroom with a big shower box. The entire house is eco-sustainable. Breakfast was just something else! You can help yourself with several fruit juices, tea, coffe, home-made yogurt (addicting!!!), bread, cereals, home-made marmalade, fruits and so on, while they will cook you what you can choose from their amazing menu. Dogs are welcome! Highly recommended! Definitely a 10 star option if you stay in lovely Rye!

Gyves House 4 stars

Eastbourne City Centre, Eastbourne

Featuring free WiFi throughout the property, Gyves House is an AA 4-star gold rated Victorian house situated just 30 yards from the Eastbourne seafront. The Pier is 6 minutes' walk from the property and the town centre just 10 minutes' walk. Nobody is perfect but Gyves House is fairly close. Nice stylish accommodation with enthusiastic owners preparing exquisite breakfast, spacious enough room having all the necessary stuff. The house is in a quiet street, just a few steps away from the beach promenade, there is some distance to be covered to the very center of the city, but there are significantly less drunks and tramps around, which seems to be one of the Eastbourne's plagues.

All rooms and apartments at Number 46 offer free WiFi, a flat-screen TV with Freeview channels, a hairdryer, mini fridge, coffee machine, and a iPod docking station. En-suite rooms are equipped with large towels and toiletries. The one-bedroom apartment also includes a fully equipped kitchen. The rooms were modern, very clean and well appointed. The property is located central to the taxi stand if walking. Rick and Carl were amazing hosts, making sure our every need was met. They went over and beyond to assist us during our stay and to make sure we were always comfortable. They made our stay feel truly like a home away from home. I highly recommend Number 46 whenever visiting Hastings.
