    We thoroughly enjoyed the deluxe queen room which was pet-friendly with an excellent view. The breakfast served was great value and tasty with perfect scrambled and a vegetarian option, for instance.

    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, with locally sourced ingredients that were freshly cooked and delicious. The staff were friendly and efficient. The bathroom facilities could use some improvement, as there were minor issues with the shower.

    Restaurant had a good ambience, the service was good and the food choice and quality was excellent and competitively priced. The location was in my opinion the best in Rye at the top of a hill overlooking the harbour, very picturesque and within easy walking distance of the entire town.

    My only dislike was the decoration of the room which was tired and old fashioned. The wallpaper was hanging off the wall above the door to the en suite and the green plain carpet was marked and did not look clean. On balance it was ok but in need of refurbishment.

    All of the staff were friendly, good location in a beautiful part of Rye and the bar was a friendly experiance with two good bitters on draught. My wife and I will return ti the hotel as soon as an oppotunity arises.

    The wall paper in the bedroom requires resticking around the window and the mastic could be renewed in the bathroom.

    friendly staff
    delicious breakfast
    great activities
    shower issues

    We explored local beaches and went horse riding, a blast. The staff were super friendly and the breakfast was delicious, 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.
