Excellent hotel stay
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.

Great hotel for Rye town
Great place to stay if visiting Rye town, ideal for walking around and visiting pubs and restaurants in town , no driving required, although you will have to leave your car in public car park. Clean and tidy hotel with good views from many of the rooms, of particular note is the excellent breakfast served daily. Would recommend.

A vastly improved stay !
Yet again a good visit to this hotel. I must say though that they seemed to have stepped up all the levels at everything. The 4 staff that me met on this one evening stay were Brilliant in their attentive manners to Customer Service . Well done to them !! So looking forward to another visit in 2024 . There was only one downside and that was the change in the hotels permit parking arrangements as parking outside was now limited to between the hours of 6pm - 9am and in howling weathers and senior age is difficult.

The parking wasn’t easy as it was quite a long way from the hotel. Not easy if you have luggage and in our case it was pouring with rain. We did think the staff were very friendly and the breakfast was really nice.

Within the old town, so no parking. Hotel could use some attention, just sweeping the butts off the front steps and removing the dead plant would be good. It was fine for the 1 night, breakfast was good. Rye is lovely.
