We had a wonderful winter retreat at Tamara’s cottage. The property is warm, clean, and well designed - it felt both cozy and modern. Just a short walk to the beach and shops, the location couldn’t have been better, and Tamara is a super host - we loved the thoughtful goodies on arrival.

What a fabulous find! We had a great wintery stay at Tamara’s cottage with our 2 dogs and 2 teenagers. The house was clean and cosy, with a big tray of treats for us all. The location is great for the beach and Rye shops. The bath was spectacular and every detail was considered. Thank you for a wonderful stay
