Visit Rye Bay
The home of Mapp and Lucia

As of 22nd of December Rye is currently in Tier 4, social distancing is in force and only essential shops are open who all require masks. If you are visiting from a higher Tier area please reconsider the trip. Restaurants are closed and only essential travel is allowed.

Guests who are planning on staying locally have plenty of time to arrange your visit by speaking with your preferred venue directly. Do not use an online agency as they will add to your costs.

For the best deal ALWAYS speak with the accommodation provider, you will not get a better rate elsewhere and the online booking agents cannot discuss specific details which are going to be more important in the Covid era.
