Family-friendly vacation rentals in Rye

What a hidden gem of a place! We feel so lucky to have found Stable Oak Cottages and to have spent New Year there with our family celebrating our sons 18th. The place was gorgeous and the hot tub such a treat! The alpacas were great entertainment and the luxurious little touches from bath robes and sliders, to home baked bread and muffins were just wonderful. Highly recommend.

Sam is an INCREDIBLE air BnB host from heaven. She made everything easy and went the extra mile for us in every way. The treehouse was so cosy, we felt right at home and had such a peaceful stay. The hot tub was also incredible and made our stay. Sam, thank you ❤️

I cannot speak highly enough of this place- there was a large group of us and we all said it was one of the best Airbnb’s we have ever stayed at. It has a lovely fully equipped gym, a roomy and warm hot tub, spacious kitchen which was wonderful to cook a huge Christmas lunch, and a cosy living room to chill and watch movies. Lisa was a fantastic host who was always really responsive, helpful & very kind, and she even left us some Christmas treats and decorated with a Christmas tree 🎄 We couldn’t haven’t asked for a warmer host or house for our Christmas so we are so thankful & happy we chose to stay here! Thank you Lisa! We definitely would love to stay again!

We had a lovely stay for NYE at Ingram House! The bar area was a great space to relax in and the dining room and lounge area were also lovely. There was plenty of space and it was very comfortable! Highly recommend a stay here!

Badgers Den was spotlessly clean , and the best equipped AirBnb I’ve ever stayed in. They have thought of everything. The facilities were amazing and the gardens simply divine. Their love of horticulture was very obvious with the amount of beautiful plants in the property. I thought the ones in the cottage were fake initially as they were so big and lush. But they are all real ! Sadly the weather was pretty rubbish but we spent a few days just cosying up in the cottage playing games and watching films . Cannot recommend this place enough and hopefully will come back when the weather is a bit better. Great hosts. Great place . Incredible attention to detail. Thank you so much

We’ve stayed a few times now, we keep coming back as it’s the perfect weekend away! Really comfortable cabin with everything you need for a quiet weekend, great hot tub, and lovely walks in the surrounding peaceful countryside. The hosts Aidan & Wendy are always friendly and welcoming, and we plan to keep coming back! Thanks so much

Had a wonderful stay this weekend with girlfriends for a much needed trip away! Lisa’s house is beautiful from top to bottom. The photos don’t do it justice! We had a few questions for Lisa whilst we were there and she replied instantly and came to assist straight away. Would thoroughly recommend Lisa’s house for a special occasion with loved ones or just to get away for a nice weekend!

Host John was friendly and give us the privacy in thier back garden space. Kids enjoyed the games kept inside the house. Also good space to enjoy with family and kids. good beach themed house. Hot tub was fantastic and relaxing

This is an excellent place for two families to have a comfortable, happy stay. There’s loads of activities in the house that are geared around social interaction and family bonding the space is light and well designed and the kitchen is well equipped. The walk to Whitstable is around 45 minutes and a perfect length to build an appetite and keep kids entertained as you pass along the coastline. We hope to return.

We had a lovely time at Stephanie’s place. The cottage is beautiful, clean and very well equipped. It is also very quiet. There was a welcome pack, when we arrived, with some delicious food. From East Hoathly it’s a short drive to many places of interest. I also recommend the King’s Head, the local pub (great food!) Perfect! Thank you Stephanie and I hope we can stay there again.

Our family of four had a wonderful time at Simone’s place. A great house with lovely views and some great nearby walks.

Had a great stay at Dani’s cottage, a great location, a short walk to the beach, the local pub and shop. Also for those who do not drive, the property is located a 5 minute walk from the bus stop to Rye station. The house was lovely and well looked after, had everything you would need to feel right at home. Highly recommend and will definitely return 😊

Place was lovely and exactly as described - cupboards and fridge were stocked with lots of useful things that you wouldn’t get elsewhere. Would definitely recommend.

We had a great stay on the house, absolutely loved it. Everything was perfect, nice and cosy with all the essentials you would need. Great location with a lovely view of the harbour. Would love to come back again anytime the house is free. Richard was very accommodating as well to us with any requests we had.

Fantastic place. Stella & Kevin were very friendly and welcoming. I look forward to being back!

Very beautifully located, rural yet close enough to access places easily, such as towns and National Trust properties. Felt secluded and a lovely retreat, with a character full property with a homely feel. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable lounge, very spacious, and comfortable beds and superb bathrooms.

As described at short notice was a lovely place to stay close to beach for a lovely day out

Stopped here before going through the tunnel. So handy for terminal, just a short drive. Loved the surroundings of the place, little business park next door with micro brewery pub. Easy access via back gate so was really handy with the dogs. Huge fenced in back garden. Nice circular walk, again access through back garden/business park. The house is fabulous, living/kitchen area perfect, lots of extras, milk, orange juice, snacks, salt and pepper etc. Even logs left for log burner which doesn’t happen very often without a charge. So cosy with it lit. Nice comfy bed, and shower was amazing. Would have been more than happy to spend a few days there!

We spent a lovely week at Alison's farm. Beautiful location near charming Ticehurst and Wadhurst (both have good Pubs), incredible views across open countryside and hills from the heated outdoor pool, which our daughter loved. Slides, swings and a trampoline bonus points with kids. Alison was friendly and helpful. The Shed itself is warm and comfortable, kitchen is kitted out for basic meals, and the two ensuite bathrooms are super spacious and have good showers with hot water plus bathtubs. There is so much to do in the area from beautiful walks, tastings at vineyards, to cyclyng in Bedgbury, boating in Bewl Water and seaside beauties Rye and Camber in the vicinity.

The cottage is clean, welcoming and quaint, with a log burner and beautiful Christmas tree glistening in the corner. We felt right at home straight away. There are plenty of games and things to do in the house to keep the guests entertained. The kitchen is well equipped for those who want to cook at home. It is the perfect place for relaxing and cosy winter getaway.

Pekes is a perfect weekend get away. Set in Sussex countryside far from the madding crowd. With facilities on the door: swimming pool and jacuzzi. We stayed at Tudor View which has stunning views and was a comfortable living space for the five of us. Thank you Pekes Team.

Caroline was a wonderful host. She made sure we had more than what we needed. She was flexible to our requests and was so friendly. We were thrilled with our stay, thank you!

This house is absolutely fantastic. Our group of 9 including a teen and two 9-year-olds stayed very comfortably for a week with a typically English mix of weather and the house accommodated us amply. The spaces were all individual, relaxing and full of beautiful furniture and art, we loved the characterful high-ceilinged garden room and the sitting room big enough for all 9 of us to play games. All the first floor bedrooms were large with comfortable beds and generous storage, and the second floor attic with two bedrooms and a relaxing space between was a great little world away. The rambling garden and the tennis court, trampoline, warm pool and table tennis were a real hit with our group. Locally there was something for everyone, highlights including great walks from the house along the river and up onto the spine of the South Downs, and garden visits to High Beeches and Sussex Prairie Gardens. Enzo and Lucy are well deserved superhosts, we would return in a heartbeat.

Great house to spend time with friends for a 50th. Very close to Canterbury which has lots of great shops, bars and restaurants. Also close to Chapel down and a couple of stellar pub do lunch out dinner. The house was everything we needed it to be and the pool was perfect!
