Everything was exceptional.

The garden is so beautiful and peaceful - the addition of the summer house & the upcoming fire pit area will be a treat. You have plenty of space with the bedroom, lounge & bathroom.

Lovely location very near Rye nature reserve (the far end), very welcoming and clean. Gorgeous garden, peaceful and plenty to eat for breakfast! Janette was very quick to respond to queries and we enjoyed some great chats about gardening and the state of British education 🤣

The space we, as guests, were allowed to use and enjoy - a spacious bedroom, a separate lounge, ensuite bathroom, garden and all the seated areas within; breakfast outside

Great to have access to my own lounge and bathroom especially since it was pouring with rain the night I stayed so walks to the coast and Camber Castle were out. Friendly welcome from Janette and a good continental breakfast to set me up for the day. Very quiet location too.

The access road is narrow but navigable.

Pretty, welcoming and lovely breakfast in the summerhouse.

The road directly in front of the property and all the other homes on the road has a private road which is not paved and is quite bumpy. This, I think, keeps the traffic limited. It wasn’t at a problem because it was so very quiet and peaceful.

It was exceptionally clean and comfortable. Janette felt like an old friend from the past, so easy to talk to. Her garden is beautiful, colourful, and understated.

The location to where we were visiting was amazing. Janette and her husband were really helpful and friendly and the room was spotlessly clean.

You are thoroughly spoilt when you stay at The Gem! The Gem was an ideal overnight stay for us on our recent cycle tour to visit Rochester and Canterbury Cathedral. The Gem is in a quiet location with a beautiful garden and within walking distance to the historic town of Winchelsea which is well worth a visit. The accommodation was very spacious, extremely clean and very good value for money. There was safe, secure indoor storage for our bicycle overnight. The hostess was very welcoming and friendly and gave us a delicious breakfast. A stay at The Gem is highly recommended.

The unmade road approaching was very, very bumpy. I suppose that is the price you pay for peace, quiet and seclusion from the normal hustle and bustle.

Our hosts were friendly and welcoming. We had a bedroom, bathroom and living room with a TV to our selves. The bed was comfortable and our bedroom was tastefully decorated. Breakfast was the continental variety, with plenty of fruit and croissants. The rooms were scrupulously clean. The Gem made a great place to set up base and explore. We visited Rye, the nature reserve and Winchelsea.

Exceptionally clean accommodation located near the beach and with an easy access to both Hastings and Rye. Lovely hosts, very polite and helpful. We loved our stay even though it was short.

Although the breakfast was very tasty and the portions were generous it would have been nice to have a little more variation as our stay was for 3 nights. The parking was too tight so it was more convenient for us to park on the unmade road and their cars were in the 2 allocated spaces.

The couple were so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Our bedroom and sitting room were really comfy. The garden was a delight.

Wonderful quiet location with beautiful magical garden and a short walk or drive to Winchesea Beach, and very near Rye and the nature reserve. Lovely view from the bedroom of open fields and very friendly hosts, good location for exploring the area.

Nothing.

No English breakfast but not a problem as there was everything else and more you could wish for. Breakfast could be served in their super garden especially when the weather was so wonderful. Hosts were delightful and helpful when you needed local advice.

We loved our stay over in this house, it's super clean, confortable and peaceful. The hosts are exceptional, welcoming and attentive to every detail. The breakfast was excellent and we had it prepared for take away to eat at the beach. Ideal stay over if you want to explore the surrounding beaches. Thank you!

Breakfast - Continental style and plentiful. Addition of a private lounge with fridge, TV and all home comforts was very comfortable. Relaxing in the garden and summer house a delight. Easy location to major routes and a very nice beach within walking distance.
