Our stay was just amazing! The owners are the nicest people in the world. They put so much thought into everything they do. We just loved it. The breakfast was just amazing, everything is home made and they cater for every diet. We are both vegan and the selection was amazing. The breakfast deserves a Michelin star! Not just the obligatory avocado on sourdough, this breakfast was next level! The facilities are fantastic, everything is eco friendly and the owners gave us some fantastic recommendations for food and activities. We will definitely be back!!

Tomas and Jeremy are incredibly welcoming and really go that extra mile. The breakfasts are unforgettable! The rooms are delightful but not overly large. In order to keep everything looking as beautiful as before you went In, Id suggest you keep your bags under the bed (this actually hadnt occurred to us until Jeremy put them there after cleaning!). Its lovely to stay in a place where so much attention to detail has been paid, and where the hosts clearly care about the guests experience.

Every time we visit Rye, we stay at the Aviemore. Jeremy and Tomas are simple wonderful and very friendly. They really make us feel at home and always take the time to provide us with information about the area and places to visit. The Guest House is located in a perfect spot with easy access to the beautiful town centre. The room is always clean, quiet and with all the facilities needed for a comfortable stay. Breakfast is incredible with a delicious choice of freshly cooked, seasonal dishes. We also enjoy the homemade nut spreads, juices and freshly baked bread! We love our stay here and already

A really fantastic B&B, perfectly located in Rye to ensure you have easy walking access to the local tourism gems. The hosts are extremely knowledgeable and friendly - they will ensure you know where you ought to be going as well as make sure you know how to get there. The decor is rustic but quirky, and the breakfast is really special with homemade treats which you can purchase to take home with you (I certainly couldnt resist). Highly recommended.

Tomas and Jeremy have been excellent hosts. They did a great job on the Aviemore Guest House. The decoration with a retro vibe, the attention to detail, comfortable rooms and a delicious and healthy breakfast, we've been spoiled! But their job doesn't stop there, every day they recommended places to visit and eat, to make the most of the day. We highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys being spoiled and having a more personalised experiences. Tomas and Jeremy, thank you so much for having us!
