When a space is as simple and modern as this, the details are all-important – and here the owners’ styling is flawless. Classic lamps sit on simple stools used as bedside tables (the bedding is crisp and white, of course), the Scandi style sofa is dressed with a stunning geometric throw, and the bathroom features tongue & groove panelling teamed with modern fittings, an inviting roll top bath, and chic industrial lighting. Despite the neutral tones there is nothing cold about this space; warm woods, rugs, and well-placed lamps – not to mention the stunning seaside light that streams through the windows – mean that it is warm and inviting, too.

The village is nestled between the larger towns of Rye & Hastings, and is just a short drive from the stunning sand dunes of Camber Sands. It has none of the hustle and bustle of its larger neighbours, but plenty of charm. Nearby are the Pett Pools – large shallow lakes that are a haven for birdlife.

The nearest stations are at Winchelsea, Rye or Hastings – trains take just over an hour from London Victoria. (The drive from London is less than two hours). There are plenty of walks in the surrounding area.

Rye is overflowing with places to eat, drink and even shop (should you prefer to enjoy the BBQ at home). Webbe’s at the Fish Café is great for seafood, as the name suggests, or try the Mermaid Inn for upscale dining in the most traditional of 15th century surroundings. The Fig is a lovely independent café focussing on local ingredients and locally roasted coffee. The Rye Bay Scallop Festival, usually held in February, is a mecca for foodies.

There is plenty of seafront dining in Hastings. The Boatyard is a café-bar with terrace overlooking the water in the Hastings Contemporary Gallery, offering an interesting organic and biodynamic wine list from across Europe. Maggie’s Fish & Chips has been serving Hastings for thirty years and is known for fresh fish and generous portions. For a unique experience try the Boulevard bookshop and Thai café – a secondhand bookshop by day, which serves the freshest Thai food from 6.30pm onwards – bring your own wine, and browse the bookshelves while enjoying your meal!
