    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.

    Nothing - everything was exceptional.

    From the moment we arrived to the time we left, Paul and Alan (the owners) couldn't do enough to make us feel at home. This is a fabulous property in a wonderful location, within walking distance of Rye and with stunning views over the countryside. The room was comfortable and well appointed and the breakfasts were amazing. All the little personal touches were the things that really made the difference - fruit and flowers in the room for example. Not just the best bed and breakfast we have ever stayed at, this was better than many of the hotels we have used and certainly more welcoming. A real treat!
