About

This historic Tudor house is in quiet countryside, 3.2 km from Rye town centre. It is now a luxury, family-run guest house with free parking and rooms with free Wi-Fi.

Strand House was built in 1425 and it has many original features, including old oak-beamed low ceilings, winding stairs and real fireplaces. There are three modern rooms available in Rye Bay Cottage in the garden.

The traditionally decorated rooms have modern luxuries, each offering a flat-screen TV, Freeview channels and a DVD player. Tea/coffee, handmade biscuits and luxury toiletries from the White Company are provided.

There is a bar, a small sitting room and full English breakfasts each morning. Guests staying in Rye Bay Cottage receive a breakfast hamper delivered to their door.

Evening meals are available on request on most Fridays and Saturdays and the menu changes daily, reflecting the finest, fresh, often organic, local ingredients.
