    Tidal was all we hoped for and more. We really loved our short stay and hope to return. The view of the river rising and falling is fascinating. The dedicated parking spot is convenient The proximity to the town is ideal

    The only thing was that we found it very difficult to open the key safe and also we would have liked a few more tea cups - there were only 3. We hope to come back soon.

  • "What a fantastic place to stay!"

    3 Tidal is exactly the relaxing place we needed. Glass of wine in hand watching the river ebb & flow, with a variety of wading birds outside the front door. Perfect. The property itself has everything we needed and was exceptionally clean. Location is great - a short walk into town with the wide variety of shops, pubs & eateries. Should we look to revisit the area, 3 Tidal will certainly be a property we'll look for.

The view from the property is lovely, overlooking the river & sitting outside on the balcony, with a tea/coffee or something stronger later in the day, watching the wading birds as the tide went in & out was perfect.

    The facilities in the apartment were all you needed for a weeks break. We should have followed the directions in the booking email and not the sat nav which took us down Shipyard Lane but we soon learnt our mistake. All in all a delightful location with plenty of places to visit in Rye and the local area.

    The number of waders feeding in the mud were varied and enjoyable to watch. It is a very peaceful and relaxing place to stay. The apartment is very comfortable and has everything needed for a pleasant stay and is only a short walk into the town of Rye with all it's shops, cafes and restaurants.

    Only a quarter roll of toilet paper left and no spare. No bin liners in bins. Found one bin bag in welcome pack so put it on bin in kitchen which I then noticed was very dirty. I stayed here last year and all very nice. Such a shame as a lovely flat and great location and view.

    We have asked the cleaner on her comments to which she has advised us that you had arrived early she allowed you to use the toilet although she was still cleaning the property and she had left with the toilet being spot less as well as extra toilet roll which she needed to get from the cellar and that she had left an extra toilet roll on the side. We apologise for any inconvenience that this has caused you. Property Owner

  • "Cleaning of this property was very poor, crumbs on work surfaces, the sink was not clean, we found a dirty tray on the work top."

    The oven was dirty, windows and mirrors were not clean. Cobwebs everywhere and dusty corners. The shower base needed a good scrub. Only one hand towel and tea towel provided. The bed linen had not been ironed. The tabletop washing machine was not fit for purpose you could probably fit no more than 2 items in it. Lightbulbs were missing. A new cleaner is required, or are they not being paid enough and given enough time to do the job properly ?

    I am so sorry for this. My regular cleaner was off with ill health and had got other people to do this which clearly wasn’t up to our usual standards as it’s always pristine. I apologise for any inconvenience this had caused you. Property Owner

  • "Property well equipped and comfortable."

    Short walk into town for a good choice of restaurants and shops/galleries. Board games much appreciated - scrabble on the balcony with a glass of wine watching birds on the river was a great end to the day. Cleanliness was OK but a dirty bin and dusty/ cobwebby corners let it down a bit. Tourist info a nice touch but much of it was out of date - some of it dated 2019!. However we had a great week and would recommend both Rye and the property.

    Regrettably on our arrival although kitchen, bathroom and linens were spotlessly clean, we did find two empty yogurt pots and some screwed up paper under the armchair, a ladies bra down the side of the bed between the bed and bedside chest of drawers, it was quite dusty and had obviously been there some time. The sink in the bathroom was very slow draining so probably needs a clean out. Other than cobwebs on the bedroom ceiling and the decking everything else was fine. We would quite happily re-visit 3 Tidal, it is an ideal situation with just a few minutes walk into Rye.

    Quality furniture, fixtures & fittings made for an enjoyable week's self catering stay. Extras such as binoculars to observe the sea-birds and underfloor bathroom heating added to the quality feel. Everything was spotlessly clean. Location was perfect for exploring Rye on foot and other places such as Camber Sands, Dungeness & Hastings a short drive away. Only complaint - the arrival instructions (and satnav) tell you to access the property via the very narrow Shipyard Lane which was only just possible with our small car. We found that continuing another 100m to St Margaret's Terrace gave better access for all traffic to Rock Channel Quay.

    5 pm is very late to arrive and more difficult to time travelling. 9 am departure is frustrating, especially as you are requiring more actions to be taken before departure. 9 am also coincides with peak travel times - 10 am is much easier.

About the location

RYE

Camber 5 miles; Hastings 12 miles; Battle 16 miles.

Rye is a 13th century cinque port in East Sussex, host to the River Rother, Romney Marshes and a history dating back before the Norman Conquest. A cobbled town offering an excellent array of unusual shops, antique emporiums, galleries selling local artist paintings and pottery, Rye also has a delightful range of tea rooms, restaurants, pubs and historic inns. There is also a weekly general market on Thursdays, as well as a farmers’ market every Wednesday morning. The town played host to BBC film crews for nine weeks in the summer of 2014, while filming of the TV series Mapp and Lucia took place, which has now been made into a DVD. All coastal scenes were filmed in nearby Camber Sands and bits of filming also took place in Hastings and the Tenterden Town railway station. Walkers and birdwatchers can enjoy a footpath leading across the marshes to Camber Castle built by Henry VIII. Local attractions include miniature or full-size steam train rides, local vineyards, stately homes, castles, gardens and beaches, including the beautiful nearby Camber Sands. Artists and photographers will especially enjoy the scenery; big skies, winding roads, and picturesque villages with ancient inns and tea shops. A truly relaxing and wonderful holiday destination.

Note: No children, adults only.
