It would help a great deal if this Trip Advisor page were updated, to say that THIS HOUSE IS ACTUALLY NOT OPEN AT ALL AT THE MOMENT.
It helps to be interested in literary figures to really want to visit this house and in particular Henry James. The house itself is quite small with just six rooms that you can visit but it is quite charming. And the volunteers are very knowledgable about the inhabitants and the period. Also has the largest garden in Rye.
Small National Trust property located in the centre of Rye, so easily accessible. Very enthusiastic volunteers who can answer most questions. Beautiful garden and grounds, and tea rooms for light bites - sandwiches, cream tea and cakes.
Lovely place and I shall return!! Looking forward to seeing the house dressed for Christmas.
Very interesting house with interesting literary connections. Set in an amazing area of outstanding architectural beauty.
The house is of a small to medium size in comparison to other National Trust properties. However, that does not, in any way, diminish the brilliance of the house. The cafe is small so only outside seating may be available at busy times but don't let that stop you from trying because it is worth a visit as you can certainly enjoy a nice cup of tea there.
One thing to look out for is when you enter the main house, look at the inside of the door with all it bolts and bars and how big it looks in the house in comparison to its proportions outside.
I was travelling with my elderly mum and her friends. If you are travelling with elderly or disabled bear in mind that there is no parking on site. I dropped them off at the front door then went to park. You have to drive up the steep cobbled hill but it is fine for a car. I found some free one hour parking around the corner from the church but unfortunately it wasn't enough time when you do the cafe as well, if I had just done the house it would have been fine. Therefore, I had to move it into the public car park as you come into Rye. From there I walked towards the windmill, over the pedestrian crossing on the railway, be careful to make you sure you look properly before crossing, then just walked through the cut through opposite the estuary and up the hill to lamb house.
Certainly a property worth visiting with some interesting stories attached to it so make sure you speak to the friendly guides in each room.
Lambs House is now owned by the National Trust,steeped in history in the beautiful Town of Rye.
The house has now been opened up so that the public can go upstairs to see the bedroom & the writing room.
The garden is beautiful to walk round it's not massive but it does have some gorgeous plants to look at & with the most gorgeous smelling roses.
There is a tea room and a court yard to sit in whilst having a drink & to sit there in the sun is wonderful, worth a visit.
