Location

"Russell House" is situated opposite Rye Town Salts, just a short walk from the historic Citadel, renowned for its cobbled streets, medieval fortifications, period architecture and beautiful parish church. Although the town is steeped in history, it also caters for every day modern life and has a comprehensive range of shopping, health and leisure facilities, as well as great cafes, restaurants, pubs and hotels. Rye has also become something of an arts centre with many galleries and local craft shops. There is also an annual Rye Arts and International Jazz Festival and a two screen Kino cinema complex. Rye Salts opposite is an area of open public land used for a range of recreational activities such as dog walking, and has lovely cultivated wild flower areas. The Romney marsh countryside that surrounds Rye is spectacular and with the coast just a stones throw away, there are many good walks and leisure activities to pursue, both on and off the water. The town has local train services to Eastbourne / Brighton and to Ashford, where the high speed connection to London St. Pancras can have you in the capital in 37 minutes.
