We Love —

- It boasts an original Georgian ballroom, yet still offers plenty of contemporary touches, so you can relax amongst historical splendour without sacrificing the modern comforts.
- Rye is a medieval townscape locked in time with a fascinating history, yet is only four miles from the wonderful white beach of Camber Sands.
Your Destination —
Originally surrounded by sea, this fortified hilltop town stands tall above the sprawling green pastures. Head to St Mary's church tower, which offers the best viewpoint to show the terracotta roofs of the many timbered houses. Alternatively, explore its cobbled streets by foot and discover secret passages, once the haunt of smugglers and highwaymen, and a regular film setting for period productions.
Expect unique bedrooms, a Josper grill restaurant and smiling service at The George, in the picture-perfect town of Rye, which welcomes not only a constant stream of actors (Matt Damon, George Clooney), but also locals and devotees of E.F. Benson and Henry James, who lived here.
