Without doubt the nicest cottage we've stayed in! Very tastefully, and sensibly decorated. Everything worked (including the WiFi, which even allowed us to watch live streaming of the football).... And some lovely touches such as milk (2 litres as well, not a pint!), cake (very yummy - locally bought!), dishwater tablets, coffee etc etc. Every time we said "but I bet Jane hasn't thought of..." she had!
Rye Harbour is also a great location (yes, even in February). We had a bracing wintry walk through the nature reserve on the Saturday, and then a walk along the shingle beach on the sunny Sunday. Also popped along the coast to sample the delights of Camber Sands. Rye as well is lovely. Just wish we'd had longer.

1 review Gorgeous cottage and a lovely area. Theowner was extrenely informative and left us a lovely welcome package which was a great treat. The place was spotless and we all loved the decor. A lot of thought and effor has gone in to this place, felt very homely. We were talking about staying again on the very first night we arrived! Its fantastic. The locals were all super friendly and plenty to do and see. Cant wait to come back!

Had a wonderful few days at Seakale - it was perfect for us and the dog; nature reserve walk on the doorstep and miles of sandy beach for playing on (just make sure you get the tide times right!)
Cottage is extremely well equipped with extra touches adding to the sense of a special getaway. You can walk into Rye town in about half an hour or there is a bus which isn't terribly frequent but a bus nonetheless!
The log burner is gorgeous and when i wrapped up with the soft blanket in front of the fire i didn't really want to ever move again!
Have already recommended the cottage to a few people and will hope to return ourselves in Spring time.

We have 4 blissful days at Seakale which was extremely efficiently run by the owner ,Jane. Lovely furnishings & very well kitted out so that you could pack more easily and not have to take all those extras you need for self-catering & beach holidays. Really appreciated. Everything worked, it was very warm and cosy, especially with the log burner!
Our 2 boys had a bedroom each and they loved the nearby park, minutes walk away through a little path between the cottages on the other side of Tram Road.
Great area - saw Battle Abbey, Hastings, Camber Sands, Rye, Dungeness & Dover Castle & had time to enjoy and relax at Seakale too. Just wish we had time to visit Lewes and it's antique shops - might have to return!
Would highly recommend this cottage and area.

Localisation a bit disappointing because I thought we would really be on the sea cost. This was not the case
