Great cottage very close to the beach. We didn’t have a car, so the bus into Rye was super easy. Suzy before arrival was super helpful. The cottage had everything we needed. Would stay again.

Cosy Cottage
The cottage was homely and cosy, and well equipped. Lovely and warm. Well located for visits to Rye. The only downside for me was the multiple caravan parks around, though this was less of a bother in the winter. The host was communicative and flexible.

The house is nice and has everything that you need!! But the photos of the garden are very misleading it needs some attention. There are weeds all over the patio all in flower beds which some are thorns and scratched my little boy. There is no 6 seater table as shown in pictures just a small round rusty metal table for 4 people when we are a party of 6. Which being summer we would have liked to have sat in garden. Also picture showed seating area at back of garden which had nothing apart from decking which had a piece loose which they use for some sort of waste underneath. My daughter got her foot caught down as moves. Also the property is supposed to be dog friendly but the fence at the side of property has big holes which resulted in my dog getting through numerous times so had to be watched. So do not believe the photos of the garden. But the house is fine and is true to pictures.

Comfortable cottage near the sea
Our multigenerational family all enjoyed staying at Spinet with its attractive furnishings, comfortable beds and easy access to the sea. We enjoyed lovely sunny afternoons in the garden. Thank you!

More than we expected.
The 5 of us decided to take our annual Christmas break on the south coast this year. Looking through the various holiday websites we stumbled across Spinet a delightful 3 bedroom cottage in Winchelsea on the VBRO site. It looked full of character with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. It was close to the beach, a bar, fish & chip shop and a Coop supermarket. The was a bus stop just yards away with services to Rye and Hastings. Upon arrival we were pleasantly surprised as Spinet offered us much more than we expected. It was roomy and very comfortable. We would definitely recommend this property and would probably return when the summer season is in full flow. Thanks Suzy you did us proud.

A lovely stay!
We (four adults, two children and a dog!) had a lovely stay at Winchelsea Beach. The cottage is exactly as advertised and was exceptionally clean and comfortable. I've never stayed in self-catering accommodation that was so well-equipped! The Christmas decorations and hamper with goodies was a lovely touch and made us feel right at home. Suzy and Amanda were exceptional hosts providing excellent hints and tips of where to eat / visit and were very responsive to any questions we had. Thank you for a lovely stay and we hope to visit again in the future.

Christmas 2022
Spinet was a beautiful, well appointed cottage. We arrived on 27th December on a dark, windy and wet evening to open the door to a welcoming, cozy cottage - decorated to a high standard and dressed beautifully for Christmas. A generous welcome basket awaited us in the kitchen. The owners were helpful and friendly and made the whole process so easy. We loved our stay at Spinet - it was the perfect end to Christmas.
