Date Night ideas are one thing, creating something memorable and different is where we come in.
We have been making it easy for couples to enjoy date night and quality time in a relaxed manner for many years.
We will make you look like the star you are, champagne breakfasts are included as well as complementary night caps each evening. We will help secure you the most appropriate restaurant and help with the agenda for each day.
We only look after couples here, children only ever attend if you were doing a whole house takeover. This means you can relax knowing there will be no children here unless you specifically choose to invite them.
Walking into Town is easy on Date Night
You will be staying a short walk from Rye high street, far enough away that you will leave you care here and walk into town as needed. Our grounds offer secure off road parking.
The image below was taken from our roof. Rye is only a short walk from the gate on the right as you enter the grounds.
At the bottom of this image of Rye you can see the Landgate Bistro fish restaurant, the Globe Inn Marsh is even nearer.
Below we list some good local restaurants for you – do mention Saltcote Place when booking as it may make a difference.
Breakfasts are always relaxed after Date Night
Have a lay in, your breakfast starts after 9am, (we never have breakfast before this time) and at a time you choose up until 10am.
Fresh fruit and complementary champagne get you off to a good start.
Breakfast is intended to be relaxed and enjoyable.
Most dietary preferences are catered for with a little notice. We are always happy to hear from you if you wanted to check a few details in advance such as dietary preferences which we understand can be important.
Things to see and do in the Rye Bay area
If your idea of a Date Night is to stay in bed for a couple of days that’s cool. If you want to explore the Rye Bay area we can help you.
One very popular day out is to tour the local vineyards, we list the best way to organise the day here https://saltcote.co.uk/things-to-do-in-rye/

About 20 minutes from Saltcote you could also visit https://www.englishorganicwine.co.uk/ they do some amazing “Regent” red wines with a surprising texture wine drinkers are always amazed by.
The Layla Turkish restaurant in the high street is really good authentic Turkish food and relaxed fun, probably one of the best places to eat in Rye. Remember this is not London so your meal may take longer than 2 minutes to arrive as may your first drink but the atmosphere is as relaxed as eating at your friend’s house. You are there to stay, leave when you are ready.
The food is excellent and has become a popular haunt of the local Hoteliers and restaurant owners who go for the relaxed atmosphere and great food.
