    There wasn't anything to dislike about this place five star *****

    The attention to detail, the views, the location, the hosts, the room, the amazing breakfast, the night cap, the quiet surroundings, and only a short walk into Rye town. We will be going back in July 2025⁵

    Nothing we didn’t like. There are something about it that makes you feel special and exclusive.

    From the moment you approach the property on the route in you feel special. Huge Iron gates with the most beautiful building beyond them in impeccable condition. The best thing about the property is its owners Paul and Alan. They are simply total experts and go well beyond anything you would expect. They are kind, caring and their attention to detail is clear in everything they do. From the initial brief to saying goodbye. It’s not just a stay it is an experience.

    We were taking a break with my 91 year old mother in law. The accommodation and attention given made it the perfect choice. Superbly comfortable, luxurious yet homely.

    The hosts made it even more special. The grounds are beautiful and views. Really is a special place. The breakfast is magnificent. If your looking for peace and quiet this is definitely the place to stay. The history of saltcote makes it very unique. I know after staying here Alan and Paul the owners I feel we have made great friends and thank you for letting us stay at this fabulous place.

    Silencer’s on one or two of the resident avians wouldn’t go amiss😂😂😂

    Saltcote Place is set in an amazing elevated location overlooking the salt marshes that extend out to Camber Sands. The Queen Anne style house is imposing, and, filled with antiques collected by the current hosts Paul and Alan over their 20-year ownership period. Breakfast is an occasion and attention to quality detail is superb. But the piece de resistance are the hosts, attentive, entertaining and nothing is too much trouble. Our room was comfortable, immaculately clean and well stocked with a lovely touch each evening, a whisky nightcap left outside the room. However, it’s the hosts that steal the show, Paul and Alan you rock!

    Can't think of anything to improve.

    The breakfast choice was very wide and all options were excellent and beautifully presented. Fresh fruit, a variety of egg and full breakfast options were available as well as juice and barista coffee. Paul and Alan are both excellent hosts and we were made to feel very much at home. The location is superb and we were delighted with the building and grounds. Very convenient for Rye and offering superb views of the surrounding countryside.

    nothing ! it’s absolutely wonderful

    Saltcote place is absolutely stunning . The location is spectacular we couldn’t have wished for a more perfect setting for our 30th wedding anniversary. Alain and Paul are the most wonderful hosts , warm caring and attentive. We were very sressed as we had been let down by The Lookout and booking. com , who unbeknownst to us had cancelled our carefully planned stay . Paul called me straight away as aI booked one route to Rye . he was true to his word greeted us with a drink and made our potentially ruined trip into the most relaxed and memorable stay. thank you both you are lovely lovely people .

    We liked absolutely everything!

    Fabulous house on a grand scale. Utterly charming, friendly and conversational people for whom absolutely nothing was too much trouble - so very kind. Magnificent breakfasts (and more or less infinite choice). Small but indicative touches included umbrellas in a stand outside the room, bottled mineral water, complimentary chocolates, offer for us to leave our car where it was, between check-out and actual departure from the locale. Quiet at night, comfortable bed, large television in the room, the warmest of welcomes. One in a million.
