Sea views and a hot tub — need we say more? This dog-friendly stone cottage was once part of the late comedian Spike Milligan’s home and, while it can be rented alongside the adjoining cottage for larger groups, we think it makes an ideal self-contained retreat. Both the airy open-plan living-dining area and the main bedroom open directly onto the garden, which features a barbecue for alfresco dining with a side of sea breeze. It's perfectly placed, too, with Rye, Camber Sands, and Hastings all within easy driving distance.

About Rye
One of the most picture-perfect places in the south east, this tiny town is one of our best kept secrets. Its medieval citadel is made up of narrow, cobbled streets and ancient buildings rising high above the marshes. Set on the little River Rother and defended for centuries by the imposing Ypres Castle, it looks for all the world like the land that time forgot. Exploring the pretty streets is...
