Hotel with a Good View. Room with nice furniture, a bit old. Bar had no draught beer. Short way to the old part of Rye.

I unfortunately stayed on one of the hottest nights of the year so the room had little air circulation That aside the room was clean, decent size and helpful staff, to check in and at breakfast

On top of a hill. Very kind and helpful staff for me to drop off my luggage before check in, and after check out Breakfast is quite good, and the room as fantastic views over the fields, and part of the town Rye is very small so super walkable wherever you stay. Enjoy this place next to the Mermaid street, and the charming town overall

An excellent stay, brilliantly located in the old town with great views. Well worth the windy drive through the quirky streets and bag drop off. Room was outstanding, very comfy bed and good suite. Breakfast was also fantastic with great range of choice. Best weekend stay hotel we’ve ever had.
