    The white smock windmill is one of Rye's most famous landmarks and provides a unique backdrop to this warm and welcoming B&B accommodation in Rye, East Sussex. Situated on the River Tillingham and Gibbet's Marsh, Rye Windmill has a relaxed countryside atmosphere yet is only a two minute walk from the historic town of Rye.
   
    The distinctive and famous Rye Mill is a grade-two listed building and has been the inspiration for artists and photographers throughout the centuries. It occupies an historic site in Gibbet's Marsh where a windmill has stood, in one form or another, since at least the sixteenth century.

There are 10 bedrooms.
   
         
    This is a profitable business and the turnover has been increasing even during this year 2009!    
         
   

The property is approached via glazed double doors opening into a reception area - from here you can access all the bedrooms as well as the kitchen, dining room and the conference room.
