Helens property is somewhat of an organic garden oasis - complete with citrus, fig and temperate fruit trees and bountiful vegetable crops. Helen and her 2 friendly dogs greeted us upon arrival at the gate and we were then introduced to her egg laying chickens on route to the lovely private flat, next to the swimming pool. The flat was very clean and a well equipped kitchen and bathroom. The main bedroom bed was extremely comfortable and the room had a sense of space and light. The adjoining room with sofa bed and tv was bright as well. We felt very much at home - though our stay was only overnight for a wedding nearby. Helen kindly recommended a family run cafe on the main Rye beach road for a sandwich lunch after our arrival which we much enjoyed.
