  • "As repeat users of 7 Waves, we found the property to be up to its usual high standards, delivering everything we wanted for our holiday."

    I have no doubt that we will be back again in the future.

  • "Great place and ideally suited for visiting Rye."

    Took us a while to realise that the reason we had no hot water was that the boiler was not turned on! Apart from that no issues. Lovely apartment.

  • "Has everything you need for a self catered stay, yet only a short walk to pubs and restaurants if you want to eat out without worrying about driving."

    It is compact, but comfortable for two. The heating system is more than adequate for cooler days.

  • "Nice apartment and a very quiet peaceful getaway, perfect little bolthole for staying in Rye which is beautiful with lots to see and do."

  • "A lovely apartment, comfortable, clean and well equipped."

    An easy walk into the pretty town of Rye, and a good base for exploring the area around. Watching the coming and going of the tides and birds in the Rock Channel, right outside the front door, was an added bonus.

  • "We had a very comfortable stay at No, 7 Waves."

    A nice welcome pack, including Prosecco, greeted us on arrival and the apartment was spotlessly clean. We had a small problem with the boiler which was quickly rectified on our first day. The view from the balcony was lovely and the bed was very comfortable. Wish we could have stayed longer!

  • "Overall a very pleasant apartment with a very relaxing riverside view, the provision of chairs on the balcony was much appreciated, and the rooms are very comfortable."

    The location is also very good for walking into the town. It might be an idea to add an umbrella in the property, we had three days of rain out of the four nights so we did need one, fortunately I had one in the car, but just a point to consider, the British weather does not always oblige when on holiday.

  • "Our second visit here and would hope to return again next year."

    Lovely convenient location for Rye itself and the area generally. The only negative, not unique to the apartment, is the entry road and to an extent the parking. Due to cars being being bigger and bigger the parking spaces can be quite tight. All in all though, thoroughly recommended.

  • "A lovely, beautifully-equipped apartment in an equally lovely - and in parts quaint and VERY picturesque - seaside town."

    The Bird Reserve down at the harbour was a wonderful bonus. The weather wasn't 'kind' during our stay but we will certainly return in the future.

  • "We enjoyed our week in 7 Waves and really love Rye."

    The property is very comfortable, clean and well-equipped. The owner may like to know the radiator in the main room only got slightly warm. Also, we'd like to say, the cleaner was extremely helpful when my husband became ill at the end of the holiday. Thank you.

  • "A perfectly situated, well equipped bolt hole in the heart of Rye."

    Ideal location for exploring the south coast. The Waves is a good sized apartment, kitchen very well equipped. Good lounge area for relaxing and watching the river flow by. Shower good and powerful. Bed and pillows super comfortable, great sleep every night. The only drawback which we’re sure the owner has no control over is the road immediately off the main road. It’s extremely rough and uneven for ten metres but then tarmac after that. Don’t let that put you off, The Waves is superb.

  • "7 Waves is immaculately clean, tastefully decorated and comfortable, and very well equipped."

    We arrived to a lovely welcome pack and bottle of Prosecco, which was very gratefully received! So relaxing to sit out on the balcony with a glass of wine and watch the water flowing by. It also benefits from having a designated parking space and being less than 5 minutes walk into Rye centre itself. The only downside, which is beyond the owners' control, I should think, is the potholes in the road accessing the property. Definitely worth a visit!

  • "Really enjoyed our stay."

    Was clean and comfortable, maybe a cupboard to put food in! Loved the little lavender bags and the fact the bathroom always smells so clean. We managed to work out how to use the appliances which for a couple of oldies was good . Hope to come back again .

  • "Very clean and comfortable and thought given to prevent spread of covid."

    Kitchen very well stocked. Well situated with just a few minutes walk nto town. South facing deck overlooking the river. Just a word of caution Waves is approached via an unmade road with very deep potholes so would advise keeping to the edge or the road .

  • "Lovely apartment and stay, we will be staying again."

    The only gripe was the dirt track access to all the properties. We realise this is not the property owners fault and maybe talks with Jempons Depot may be fruitful as the frequent HGV's attending are causing this issue. Kind Regards Paul & Jacqui

  • "This was our third booking at 7 Waves."

    It suits our holiday needs perfectly. 7 Waves is very well equipped, spotlessly clean, comfortable and easy to keep warm, a big deal for holidays in November. We would have no hesitation in using 7 Waves again. The only slight negative is the state of the access road at the junction to the main road, not something you can control but worth a mention. Thanks for another great stay. Andy and Heather Stead

  • "Very comfortable accommodation in an amazing location, with easy access to Rye via Ypres tower or Mermaid Street, excellent walking routes to both Camber Sands, and Camber Castle and Winchelsea."

    We stayed for four nights and had everything we needed as a base. Accommodation was mostly clean, however the dishwasher already contained items when we arrived and none of the bins were emptied, the bathroom and bedroom bins being full of previous guests items. Would recommend highly for a weekend break in Rye.

  • "We've stayed in Rye on previous occasions."

    This was our first stay in 7 Waves though we've stayed in one of the upper floor apartments in the same block previously. The property is in a superb location close to the lovely town of Rye and all it has to offer. Very well located also for exploring the area. We found the fixtures and fittings to be of a very good quality and felt very comfortable there. However, we did feel it was very much let down within the kitchen area. No washing up liquid provided, only 4 dishwasher tablets. We struggled slightly with a lack of utensils also. Not a problem for anyone eating out regularly but a slight inconvenience otherwise. In a nutshell it was perhaps as if the apartment was not fully set up for 'self catering'. We'd happily stay there again but would be mindful of these matters in the future.

  • "We really enjoyed our stay."

    The apartment was SO quiet and well situated. The goodies provided were very much appreciated. Personally the lack of a proper washing machine was not good and would influence whether we stayed for 2 weeks. We found no use for the dishwasher. The bathroom needed a small stool as we all get a little less stable as we get older. Also the bedroom could benfit from a small chair to put clothes on. .We were dismayed at the lack of any recycling facilities ( we took our recycling to a friend who lives in Westfield). Perhaps the Boathouse complex could invest in a recycling bin? We did have a lovely time

Shops, Bars and restaurants only a six minute walk away , thank you for a memorable stay. I only had one issue that big lump of tarmac at the end of the accommodation had a bit of a problem getting over it as I have difficulty walking.

    However a few negatives: Sofa is not particularly comfortable to sit on.

All rubbish goes in the same bin - why is there no recycling?

    The location was perfect with bird watching from the deck, a quick drive or easy hike to the nature reserve with the added bonus of being very close to the stunning historical town of Rye -particularly useful as we had snow & icy conditions which limited driving. We now only stay in accomodation that DOESN'T allow pets as we've been shocked and appalled at the way some pet owners treat holidays homes, pubs & hotels. I will certainly recommend this property to friends. Congratulations on providing such a safe, clean, warm & importantly NO pets policy.

    An excellent situation, not far from the centre of Rye and amenities. Everything was clean and comfortable (nice comfortable bed). Small caveats: for us, a normal size washing machine would have been more useful than a dishwasher and the sounds from the boiler in the bedroom could be a little disconcerting at night, even when the heating was off. Overall though, a lovely spot and delightful accommodation.

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.
