    charming building

    Just an optimal selection for a weekend jaunt in Rye, great value for money. The sirloin steak we had was the best we've ever tasted. Be aware of low ceilings in the bathroom if you're tall.

    Charming stay with excellent breakfast

    I had a very comfortable two nights with a spacious room that offered lovely views over the Sussex countryside. The breakfast was a highlight, featuring locally sourced ingredients that were freshly cooked and delicious. The staff were incredibly friendly and efficient, making our stay even more enjoyable. the bathroom facilities could use some improvement, as there were minor issues with the shower.

    shower issues

    Had a fantastic time with friends! We explored local beaches and went horse riding, which was a blast. The staff were super friendly and the breakfast was delicious, ensuring we started our day right. Just a heads up, there's no parking on-site, but it's easy to find nearby options.

    One thing to improve is the bathroom facilities. our shower had some issues that could use repair.

    comfy bed
    nice linen
    great views
    outdated decor
    tight space

    The room was quaint but a bit tight, with a sloping floor adding some character. Views were great! The bed was comfy with nice linen, but it felt outdated. Shower was okay, just a bit worn out. The little table by the window was a nice touch, though. it had that vintage charm but needed some upgrades.

    spacious room
    vegan options
    good coffee
    parking hassle

    The room offered a spacious layout with an impressive harbor view, although the décor could use a bit of a spark. The breakfast selection included vegan options and was promptly served. The coffee was notably good.

    Parking was a hassle, with a nearby car park located about a ten-minute walk away, which isn't ideal in bad weather. The window in the bathroom was broken and remained unfixed even after notifying the front desk. The mattress had seen better days—sagging noticeably to one side. the bathroom facilities were not designed for showering properly due to the sloping roof, which caught us off guard. Lastly, there's a chance the stair access could be challenging for those with mobility issues, given the steep and narrow nature of the stairs.

    poor service

    Not what I expected

    We stayed for 2 nights, but the whole dinner experience was a bit of a disaster. A guy at the next table got sick, and despite that being super awkward for us, the staff didn’t seem to care much. The bar area was nice, but the service was definitely lacking. Disappointed with how things were handled.

    comfortable bed
    quiet atmosphere
    limited hanging space

    We had a cozy small double room for two nights and truly appreciated the soft carpet and comfortable bed. The tea and coffee setup was a nice touch. Enjoying the quiet atmosphere and relaxing on the sun terrace while sipping our morning drinks was just perfect. The only thing we missed was a bit more hanging space for clothes, but it didn't spoil our great experience at all. 😊

    We had a lovely stay with the grandkids, exploring beautiful Rye. The hotel was charming, with an excellent breakfast featuring fresh pastries. the kids enjoyed the fun local shops and cozy atmosphere. Our room was clean and spacious enough for our needs.

    My kids wished there were more family-friendly activities available on-site.

    Cozy Stay with Stunning Views!

    Had a relaxing 2-night stay. Loved our small double room with beautiful views. It was so quiet, perfect for a getaway. The location was awesome, just a short walk to the sights! Staff were super friendly and helpful. Only thing was the bar area could use some more seating at peak times.
