Saltcote Place

Bespoke hospitality- thanks to our lovely host Paul & Alan. If you are looking for a jokuday feel like home at quite town, Saltfote Place is a place for you.

One word…Perfection. Alan and Paul are the perfect hosts, warm, welcoming, friendly, accommodating. Nothing is too much trouble. All the little touches and attention to detail were evident from the moment we arrived . We were welcomed with a lovely glass or two of wine before being shown to our room, which was beautifully presented. Not a speck of dirt or dust anywhere and the views were incredible both from the room itself and the adjoining bathroom. The four poster bed was Devine, like sleeping on a bed of feathers, so roomy and comfortable, with a bottle of champagne chilling in the fridge ready for us to enjoy at our leisure. We ventured into Rye for the evening, which is no more than a 10 minute walk away and full of bistros, pubs and a variety of restaurants, we can recommend a visit to Webb’s fish cafe, delicious. On returning to our room each evening we had a very welcome nightcap waiting for us to enjoy and a breakfast selection form to complete ready for the morning. The breakfast choice was amazing. Paul was there greeting us each morning with a glass of bubbles to start the day, while Alan was cooking our breakfast with perfect poached eggs. We didn’t feel rushed at any point and both Paul and Alan were so very generous with their time, local knowledge and life experiences. It was a pleasure to sit down to breakfast with them both. If you are looking for that magical escape with beautiful views, peace and quite but near enough to Rye ,that you won’t have to worry about driving and parking, please do yourself a favour and book into Saltcote Place Rye, you won’t regret it. Worth every penny.

My daughter and I came to Saltcote as a special treat for her birthday and we had a wonderful stay. Paul was so welcoming and made us a pot of tea on arrival ( we could have had fizz too)! He spent time chatting to us and gave us many tips for the local area as he seems to know everyone in Rye! The room was lovely and they set up the adjoining room to the suite so we could each have some privacy. Breakfast was a delight with Bucks Fizz, an extensive menu to choose from and entertaining conversation with both Paul and his equally lovely partner Alan - all in the setting of the beautifully decorated dining room. Saltcote really is one of a kind and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Thank you to Paul and Alan for such a wonderful stay. Possibly the most beautiful residence in Rye and the most charming company. They pay such attention to detail, from a glass of wine on your arrival to discuss your stay, to a fabulous breakfast menu. The breakfast is way above the standard of usual bed and breakfast accommodation. Alan’s hollandaise sauce is a must, and Paul’s offer of bubbles at breakfast helps to kickstart the relaxation! Everything is meticulously clean and the views from our room were spectacular. Perfect location to visit Rye, and in walking distance of Rye Harbour and Camber Sands. A wonderful break away.

It was an absolute delight to spend 2 days here during a recent visit to Rye. First impressions are that this place is special and that feeling just grows throughout the stay. Not so much a hotel or B&B, you are welcomed enthusiastically into a charming and delightful family home and treated like royalty throughout; from a welcome drink to a personalised nightcap. After a comfortable sleep you wake to a freshly-made champagne breakfast, beautifully cooked and served with style and elegance. Town is only a short walk away down the hill and there is plenty of local knowledge and recommendations for (excellent) places to eat and things to do. Paul and Alan are great hosts and we chatted away like old familiar friends for several hours. Rather sad to leave and would definitely return when in the area

My wife and I have just spent the most fabulous weekend in Rye, staying at Saltcote Place. There are many superlatives which can be used, but the one we have decided is simply fantastic, From being met at the front of this magnificent Grade 2 listed building, which is also the hosts home, you are treated as someone special. A complementary glass of wine, which was very nice indeed, and Paul spends as long as necessary finding out your likes and dislikes concerning breakfast. We stayed in the Royal Military suite and again attention to detail is outstanding, from the most comfortable bed we have ever slept in to the bathroom with full size bath and separate shower cubicle. A glass of bubbles with breakfast is just the thing to start a day of exploring Rye old town and the surrounding area. Paul and Alan are the most perfect hosts and the stay was more like being guests at a friends house than a B&B, except when it came to settling the account of course. But, as the saying goes “you get what you pay for” and in our opinion this stay was worth every penny. We will repeat our experience with this perfect couple again very soon.
