You don't need a car to enjoy your holiday at Dunescape
Leave the car in the garage, there is a grand total of seven eateries within minutes of Dunescape. Within 100 metres is a traditional chippy open all year, and three diverse cafes ranging from a traditional seaside fry-up palace to an organic cafe (15 metres from Dunescape) serving fresh ground coffee and organic pastries. A contemporary bar and a friendly pub may be found less than 100 metres away, both of which serve great food. Serious foodies will head to The Place, a renowned brasserie about 200 metres away serving organic local fare and fresh Rye Bay fish. Otherwise, the usual selection of ethnic take-away restaurants in Rye will deliver to Dunescape.
