Great bank holiday
Very pleased with the accommodation, had never been to winchelsea before but loved where the house was. Proper old building with creaky floors and doors which we loved. The host had left a basket of lovely goodies for us and there was everything we needed. Great garden to sit in too.

Great house by the coast
This was a fab house for us 6 adults. Plenty of room, and the kitchen is equipped with absolutely everything you could think of. Lovely patio with table and chairs. The beds are very comfy and the bed linen and towels are very nice quality. A very generous welcome basket was provided including Aussie shampoo and conditioner. There is a very well-stocked Co-op about 50 metres away as well as a chip shop and pub. The nearby beach is pebbly but Camber Sands is 15 mins away by car and is a wide sandy beach. The delightful town of Rye is 10 mins by car. Altogether a very well appointed and comfy house in a great location.

Cosy Cottage
The cottage was homely and cosy, and well equipped. Lovely and warm. Well located for visits to Rye. The only downside for me was the multiple caravan parks around, though this was less of a bother in the winter. The host was communicative and flexible.

The house is nice and has everything that you need!! But the photos of the garden are very misleading it needs some attention. There are weeds all over the patio all in flower beds which some are thorns and scratched my little boy. There is no 6 seater table as shown in pictures just a small round rusty metal table for 4 people when we are a party of 6. Which being summer we would have liked to have sat in garden. Also picture showed seating area at back of garden which had nothing apart from decking which had a piece loose which they use for some sort of waste underneath. My daughter got her foot caught down as moves. Also the property is supposed to be dog friendly but the fence at the side of property has big holes which resulted in my dog getting through numerous times so had to be watched. So do not believe the photos of the garden. But the house is fine and is true to pictures.

More than we expected.
The 5 of us decided to take our annual Christmas break on the south coast this year. Looking through the various holiday websites we stumbled across Spinet a delightful 3 bedroom cottage in Winchelsea on the VBRO site. It looked full of character with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. It was close to the beach, a bar, fish & chip shop and a Coop supermarket. The was a bus stop just yards away with services to Rye and Hastings. Upon arrival we were pleasantly surprised as Spinet offered us much more than we expected. It was roomy and very comfortable. We would definitely recommend this property and would probably return when the summer season is in full flow. Thanks Suzy you did us proud.

A lovely stay!
We (four adults, two children and a dog!) had a lovely stay at Winchelsea Beach. The cottage is exactly as advertised and was exceptionally clean and comfortable. I've never stayed in self-catering accommodation that was so well-equipped! The Christmas decorations and hamper with goodies was a lovely touch and made us feel right at home. Suzy and Amanda were exceptional hosts providing excellent hints and tips of where to eat / visit and were very responsive to any questions we had. Thank you for a lovely stay and we hope to visit again in the future.

Spinet was a beautiful, well appointed cottage. We arrived on 27th December on a dark, windy and wet evening to open the door to a welcoming, cozy cottage - decorated to a high standard and dressed beautifully for Christmas. A generous welcome basket awaited us in the kitchen. The owners were helpful and friendly and made the whole process so easy. We loved our stay at Spinet - it was the perfect end to Christmas.

Thanks for an amazing stay!
Really lovely place for a holiday! my wife and I with our two young girls (3&5) and my father in law joined and was plenty of room for all. The cottage is well stocked and in great condition. Very handy having the local co op and playground opposite and just a short walk to Winchelsea beach. We found it a great location to explore the area, easy to get to a great sandy beach at Camber Sands that the girls loved. Suzy and Amanda made the stay really easy and offered loads of great tips to explore the area - thanks again!

A charming cottage in a great location
A charming cottage in a great location – near to the beach and local recreation ground (walking for the dog and play area for our grandson). The owners provided some excellent pre-trip information on local attractions and dog friendly eating places. Very well equipped throughout, especially the kitchen where we also found a welcome basket of tea, coffee etc. With 5 adults, a toddler and dog the lounge was cosy but manageable. Good sized dining room with large table was more than adequate. The bedrooms were all of a good size, with cot supplied. Outside could be described as “rustic”. Supplied with table and chairs, barbecue, area of grass, etc. Although fenced and gated we had to keep an eye on grandson and dog as there were a few areas we preferred they didn’t explore.
