Rye's 18th-century monastery cottage with Italian-designed garden, copper bath, and reserved parking
Historic Setting
Monastery Cottage is an 18th-century house attached to a decommissioned medieval monastery. The interior combines industrial style, 19th-century Italian antiques, and rustic vintage charm. A double-sided woodburner sits between the two ground-floor rooms.

The one-bedroom house has a private entrance, a sitting room, a snug, and a bathroom with a copper bath. The sitting room has art books and copies of World of Interiors magazine. The fully equipped kitchen includes an oven, stovetop, refrigerator, and garden views.
Location
Monastery Cottage is 30 seconds from the High Street and a 10-minute drive from Camber Sands. The property is 2.5 km from Camber Castle, 3.7 km from Rye Harbour Nature Reserve, and 103 km from London Gatwick Airport. St Anthony's R C Church is a short walk away.
Outdoor & Parking
The private Italian-designed garden is attached to the monastery and is also a secure garden for dogs. The cottage includes a reserved parking space. Pet bowls are provided for guests travelling with pets.
Entertainment & Activities
