River House Rye

Happy Monday, everyone!

I hope you all had a good weekend. Mine was a chilled one with friends and family, although I was very pleased that I managed to find time to refresh the plants in River House - including this lovely little epiphyllum, courtesy of . Looking forward to seeing this guy grow over the coming months…

Also, it was nice to see Rye - specifically Mermaid Street - get a mention in the travel press, this time courtesy of , in a feature on the prettiest streets in Britain. Another reminder of how lucky we are.

Wishing you all a wonderful week!

Another accolade for wonderful Rye. The outdoor specialists at have named our town as one of the country’s best holiday destinations and the best in the South East. Not only that, but Rye was ranked third in the UK for biking holidays - something the excellent can help you with!

Here is what Go Outdoors said:

“Described as a “stylish cobbled citadel”, Rye is a gorgeous medieval English town near the coast of East Sussex.

Today it is home to several modern boutique hotels, charming cosy pubs and contemporary restaurants that serve the best Sussex has to offer. In addition to this, there are an estimated 3.32 bike tours per 10,000 people that you can take part in and explore the town’s historic streets.
One route we’d recommend is the Rye Harbour Nature Reserve, a popular trail for birding, hiking and mountain biking. This 14.6-km circular trail heads out to the 16th-century Camber Castle and Castle Water before continuing on a long coastal path with views out to sea.”

Well done, Rye!
