New Inn
Historic premises in the cinque port town of Winchelsea where we stayed for two nights. Hosts and staff most accommodating and friendly. Good food and comfortable en suite room. Church opposite well worth a look.

Character stay, great service, lovely small town
Amazing staff. Great full english breakfast. Dinner at The New Inn was also good. Nice big room with a view of the beautiful church accross the road. Beautiful small town with a great relaxed feel. Good bed, tea & coffee in the room. Good shower pressure. Bus pick up & drop off right next to the hotel in Winchelsea. Handy to both Rye (10 mins)& Hastings(35 mins)via route 100 bus. Has a lovely outside beer garden.This is a character stay not a new build. As such it had all the quirks & charm you would expect in a building a couple of centuries old. We loved it.

We had a really wonderful time at The New Inn! The location was perfect - right in the middle of Winchelsea which is a quiet, beautiful little town, but only a 5/10 minute drive to Rye.
The room was lovely and really comfortable - one of the most comfortable beds I've slept in! The food was great, and the staff were really lovely and helpful.
All in all a fantastic stay - I'd have no hesitations returning or recommending to a friend :)
