Lovely location very near Rye nature reserve (the far end), very welcoming and clean. Gorgeous garden, peaceful and plenty to eat for breakfast! Janette was very quick to respond to queries and we enjoyed some great chats about gardening and the state of British education 🤣

I loved the period aspect of the architecture and its central location to all the centre of all the cafes, restaurants and historical sites in the village.
The Lookout Rye is in the centre of the historical town of Rye, high on the East Cliff with views across the river. It has free Wi-Fi and paid parking.
The sand between your toes. Sky and beach as far as your eyes can see. Wonderful food made with love. Deeply comfortable beds in beautifully thought out bedrooms. Daily yoga and wellness classes.

A sumptuous hotel. Rabbit warrens and stairs all over. Room was comfy and quiet. Quite pricey but guess that’s the location. Fabulous food and informal staff
Excellent restaurant
Breakfast was amazing due to the selection of fresh fruits raspberries strawberries blackberries melon pineapple blueberries pomegranate prunes cereal pastries toast yogurt smoked fish plus full English with black pudding backed beans and crapes
Our evening meal was also great value for money Evan though they forgot to deliver the side salad we requested

The question as put means our answer is rather misleading.
The question as put means our answer is rather misleading. We did not have time to explore Winchelsea as we would have liked, but spent much of our time in Rye, a quarter-hour drive away and with enough to keep us busy ind interested for two days. We only scratched the surface of the possibilities of the wider area. In Rye, park as soon as you can in any of the car-parks at the foot of the hill and walk. There is masses to see, but the one-way system within the town can be a nightmare to the unwary.

Winchelsea beach is a remote and beautiful coastline, perfect for November stormy weather. 20 mins away from Rye nature reserve and Petts Level cliffs.
This is not in Winchelsea itself, but Winchelsea beach.

Beautiful, peaceful, historic town with strong local community feel, excellent to combine with exploring the rest of the area (Rye, Dungeness etc). Lovely place to spend a few hours walking around, enjoying the view over the surrounding countryside.
Schedule visit with a date the cellar tours are on- we only found out about these after we visited!

Brilliant area, the pebble beach was beautiful, quiet area, perfect for relaxing and enjoing time with the family. We went to camber sands which was gorgeous. Hastings which isnt far, had some nice restuarants- halal and vegetarian.
The cottage is idyllic. It's actually very spacious and easily accommodated our family. The garden was the perfect place for an early morning coffee. Absolute bliss... no noise except for bird song and bees. The kitchen is wonderfully stocked - plenty quality pots, pans, etc. Everything is spotlessly clean. Winchelsea itself is an ideal base for some walking/running/swimming - the circular walk to Rye was an ideal way to sped Saturday morning. To top it all, the hosts left Easter eggs for us - what a kind gesture. THANK YOU.

The property itself and the surrounding area were beautiful! The rooms were well equipped, clean, spacious, airy and the beds were comfy! Kate was so friendly, informative, kind and helpful. We were 4 friends meeting up to celebrate our 60th birthdays and we couldn't have chosen a better property and location- we visited winchelsea, rye and hastings- wonderful, especially loved the pier!
Winchelsea Lodge was a joy to visit.
The staff are beyond welcoming, the location. is perfect for Hastings, Battle, Rye and Camber and as for the breakfast, well this was outstanding, beautifully laid out and plenty of tasty local produce, in fact the sausages were the best we have ever had.
A fantastic stay from start to finish, we loved everything about it.
Caroline was extremely welcoming and helpful, even before we arrived
The apartment was placed in a beautiful setting, very spacious and lovely decor. There was a large, garden and wood fired hot tub.
Location was great for visiting Rye and Hastings and Winchelsea beach was only a few minutes drive.
Would highly recommend and look forward to staying again.
Winchelsea is a beautiful small town with many lovely buildings. It looks idyllic. The church is the central focus of the town and is a must to visit. It is a stones throw from Rye and the nature reserve. There is a glorious walk from the house along the Military Canal to the sea and various paths around the Pett level.
Everything about the Gem was great. Friendly host, very clean and tidy, peaceful and easy reach of everything in Rye and Winchelsea. We were given a card and a bottle of wine on arrival as it was our wedding anniversary which was lovely as well as unexpected.
Such a unique house and beautifully designed with lovely touches. We all loved the little shop next door and Winchelsea is a stunning little town, close to Rye and Camber Sands. We had 3 great beach days on 3 different beaches which we all loved.
Breakfast was good. Beds clean and comfortable. Bathroom sink and toilet clean. Good towels. Wonderful staff. Good bar. Good outside wood burning fire so could sit outside till late with coffee or drink. Good location for Rye and Winchelsea.
Caravan was clean, spacious and equipped with everything we needed. We didn’t use any of the park facilities, but there was a fish and chip shop and a Co-Op next to the entrance. Pebbly beach nearby and Camber Sands only 20mins away.
The room was comfortable. We loved the balcony in Room 17 and the telescope that was provided for us to look at the wildlife.
The staff were very friendly, especially the young lady who welcomed us to the hotel at Reception.
Private lounge facility with the bedroom - like a suite, meant very comfortable. Substantial breakfast, all delicious. Friendly host and off road parking. Quiet with good views, but Winchelsea within walking distance.
