Vacation rentals with lake access in East Sussex

Thanks Tim for hosting us - we had a lovely weekend in Rye!

Very welcoming and clean. Lots of space for all guests. Gillian was very responsive and helpful. The house had everything we needed. We stayed in because of cold, rainy weather and had a lovely time as a big group. The house had lots of room to relax and spend time together. The kitchen was well equipped and had plenty of glassware and crockery for our group of nine.

Highly recommend this absolutely beautiful place, one of the best Airbnbs we have ever stayed at . So beautifully designed . It’s also in a perfect location to discover Rye . Peaceful and yet in the centre of town . We didn’t want to leave !

loved the interior decor-very eclectic- and the attention to detail-well thought out and delightful to discover the quirky additions delight to stay there-very central and Rye shone

This cute cottage was so relaxing! The inside was spotless and nice. They thought of everything, which made it even better, though I wish there were more coffee pods. The area was peaceful and pretty, great for walks or just chilling in the hot tub. The beds were comfy, so we slept great. The host was easy to talk to and super helpful. We loved our stay and totally recommend it if you want a peaceful getaway. We'd go back in a heartbeat!

Amazing location just behind a sand dune off amber beach. Perfect place to stay with kids, lots of games and activities if it’s raining and the beach for when it’s not! Great and clean facilities - everything you could need for an escape to the seaside!

We loved our stay at Lucy and Geoff’s beautiful home. The spa, sauna and ice tub were an added luxury. The house is stunning, extremely welcoming and cozy with wood burning fireplaces. Wonderful kitchen and dinning area with amazing views. It felt very private. Great location, close to shops and cafe’s. We had a recommendation from the local wine merchants to visit the Gallipot Inn for Sunday lunch and we weren’t disappointed! Lovely family run pub with great homemade food. Lucy and Geoff’s house is only a 45 minute drive to Brighton which was a great day trip. Wished we could have stayed longer to explore the area and vineyards. Hosts were lovely to deal with a super communicative. Would highly recommend a stay here. Ideal for families

Furnace House is an amazing place, full of character. Just look at the photos! The setting is so peaceful. We loved going down to the lake, some wandering around it, some taking their morning run. Two of us spotted a couple of kingfishers. Some made good use of the pool, and there was space for boules on the lawn. We were a family group of ten, ranging in age from 8 to 80, that birthday being the focus, and the house suited us brilliantly with rooms large enough to be all together but also space to be apart! In warm October sunshine we had a birthday lunch on the terrace looking out over the garden and beyond. In the area, we’d recommend The Cat at West Hoathley for Sunday roast, and NT Standen is almost on the doorstep. We also did the Pooh Bridge for a photo op. Cindy was very responsive beforehand and there was plenty of local and historic information. Would love to go again!

Our family had a wonderful few days at the gorgeous Oast House property. Stunning setting with views across the fields. Local walks were great and maps available, along with local attractions all close by. Heather prepared an amazing meal for us which was well worth the money and the property had everything we needed for a peaceful and enjoyable few days away from the big smoke. The guest book in the property says it all about what a fantastic place this is. Highly recommend and look forward to returning soon.

We absolutely loved our stay here. Josephine was a thoughtful, communicative host. The property is immaculate, beautifully renovated and well thought out. The garden was a lovely little sun trap in the evenings and also immaculately maintained. It has everything we needed and more, including local walks and recommendations. We loved our stay, very well situated for visiting various local places - Eastbourne, Drusillas, Battle & Hastings. Really peaceful setting, and loads of great places to eat locally.

The perfect spot to stay in Camber. The house is in a great location and has everything you need, especially with kids. Very responsive and helpful host. I would highly recommend.

Diana’s beautiful countryside cottage is nestled into the East Sussex countryside, providing a quiet and remote getaway, but within easy drive of shops and several lovely Sussex towns and villages. Beautiful walks in the area.. in the winter bring your waterproof boots and enjoy!! Great for a stay with family or friends, lots of lovely spaces in the house ( the photos don’t do it justice). We stayed between Christmas and new year, so we appreciated and enjoyed the abundance of coal for our daily evening fires, providing a warm and very cozy atmosphere. Very well equipped kitchen with enough space around the table for 6 or 7 people. All our needs were met. Well worth a stay, I would highly recommend this place and we will surely return! Gill

Jessica went the extra mile to ensure we had a great stay. The cottage itself has some homely details and useful things while clear of clutter to allow you to feel at home and enjoy the space. We’d definitely book again. Piddinghoe itself is charming and close to the River Ouse and the South Downs Way so perfect for walking.

Caroline's cottage was so peaceful and beautiful, set in a gorgeous setting. Caroline provided groceries for a cooked breakfast as well as croissants, which was a great touch and saved us the issue of finding local shops etc. It was lovely waking up to bird song. We loved the way Caroline's ducks came to greet us as we set off each day. Thank you Caroline for responding to any enquiries so swiftly too. Your cottage was so cosy and comfortable.

The property was beautifully presented with everything we needed for a couple of nights stay. It was easy to park outside, a short drive to Rye and a lovely walk to the nature reserve. The tiny outdoor space was a nice sun-trap for a coffee. Bring a pair of slippers for the bathroom and kitchen floor. It was great base for exploring Camber Sands and Rye.

Henrietta’s cottage is definitely a hidden gem. We spent a weekend in this unique cottage and everything was perfect from the beginning to the end. The cottage is surrounded by beautiful scenery. You wake up to the bids chirping, and the whole place is so peaceful. We spent our days just chilling under the trees, lakeside and it was the best place to forget the big city. The cottage was clean, the bed comfy. We visited the castle gardens nearby and also walked to the next village, where is a lovely pub, The Milk House. We had a wonderful weekend with beautiful weather.
