Amazing stay

Can’t recommend this place enough. We had a fantastic stay here for New Year’s Eve. The photos don’t do the place justice - it has so much space, and so much character. The location is unbeatable on the iconic Mermaid Street, 5 minutes from the station. Easy check in process. Would so recommend for a large group looking for a stay in Rye.

A gem of a property

This property is full of character. It is conveniently located for central rye, although parking is in public car parks away from the property which might not suit all. We loved the quirky space but some might find the lack of bathrooms tricky with larger groups

Wonderful stay

We stayed for three nights, and really enjoyed pottering round Rye and mornings on the beach. Robin Hill is a wonderful place to stay, a welcoming and comfortable family home. Communication was excellent, the house very clean, and it was so nice to stay somewhere with character and history in equal measure! Many thanks :)

Beautiful Rye House

This house was great for what we needed (group of girlfriends getting together). We loved the sunroom on the first floor and even got to sit outside in the gorgeous garden. The location is perfect and there is heaps of space. My only comment is that the bathrooms probably need a bit of updating, but apart from that would definitely recommend.

An amazing and original property which accommodated us easily.

Right from the start the host was exceedingly helpful. It was great to have a property in a town with so much to see rather than being in the middle of nowhere. The children loved the cannon area by Ypres tower as well as time out in the garden. Plenty of space in this history filled home. Would highly recommend as we had a wonderful time.

Wonderful, charming house

We stayed in Robin Hill between Christmas and NY, using it as the place for the family to meet and celebrate together. We wanted a place with charm and character and Robin Hill absolutely provided it. The house easily, comfortably slept 10 adults, and also has brilliant space to cook, eat and relax together. But, the highlight is the incredible charm of such an historic home - a warren of rooms, corridors and stairs befitting a house of such age, and giving a real sense of character and history. It's location in the heart of medieval Rye, on a cobbled street only adds to that! And then, the astonishing array of ornaments and artwork celebrating the owners life in SE Asia only adds another layer of interest and delight! An incredible place to stay. Katrina was a brilliant host. So accommodating of our needs, and so kind with check in/out times. We were able to communicate really easily and everything was made perfect for our stay. The house has been equipped with everything you need and more. An exceptional rental property. I would heartily recommend.

Lovely to be back the third time

Robin Hill is beginning to feel like home for those of us who have repeated our winter getaway. For newcomers it was a delightful revelation. As always, it proved the perfect place to bring friends together - so close to shops and amenities and also a great base for exploring the area.

Our communication with the hostess before our arrival was very pleasant and personable…she even answered all my questions and gave suggestions of places and things to do…we were traveling with eight children and 3 adults and were definitely put at ease once we entered the residence…the staff did a wonderful job of supplying all that we would need until we could get to the shops, seeing that we arrived the night of New Year’s Eve…the home was the epitome of old English charm, and we delighted in exploring it’s nooks, crannies, inglenook, Asian artifacts, a wonderful supply of history books on the area, and a lovely rear garden…the home was clean, amply supplied with towels, linen and a basket of local goodies in the well stocked kitchen…we stayed almost a week and never tired of the local shops, the castle and church on the hill, a short drive to another castle and a day trip to Hastings…we had the most wonder time, thanks to the hostess from the bottom of our hearts, and are looking forward to our next Rye holiday at Robin Hill

Memorable experience

Everything we needed for a special family celebration weekend: a quirky, interesting house on an iconic street, charming garden, brilliantly equipped kitchen and helpful, understanding owners. (Slightly surprised to find the medieval charms of the house fused with a huge array of East Asian objects and decor. Some of us loved this but the minimalists among us found it a little overwhelming).
