Great place to stay- but bathroom facilities were poor- no decent shower etc.
But it’s still a great place to say!

Lovely hotel in a historic building, with loads of character and great location for exploring Rye. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
As it is an old building, the bedroom was cold, however we did have a mini electric radiator in our room plus an extra blanket which helped.
The power of the shower was a bit like a trickle! I'm just glad I didn't have to wash my hair otherwise I'd still be there trying to rinse the soap out! :-D

Not the cheapest joint in town, but offering a memorable event with good service and hospitality thrown in for good measure.
This and more set in the most quaint of all cobbled streets in a super little Sussex town.

Absolutely love staying here, the staff were great and very helpful. Would have liked a walk in shower but understand that this is not possible due to the age of property.

Fabulous location. Helpful staff. Very historic. Took dog who was allowed in room and terrace only. The lounges were empty and it would have been nice to access those. Breakfast was nice too.

We loved our stay in this unique place. The staff was warm and welcoming and very accommodating and the surrounding area was gorgeous to wander. Given the age of the Inn, the facilities are excellent, although an upgrade in the bathroom, especially the shower, would be nice. Overall though, I highly recommend this wonderful, historic, and charming place!

excellent spot. great history. rooms are tiny, but to be expected for something built in the 1100's. Will return.

The Mermaid Inn is a special place. So much history around every corner. It's a really gorgeous setting, with period detail throughout. Staff were friendly and helpful, and rapidly corrected an error made during check-out. Breakfast was delicious and you can tell they use high quality ingredients in everything. I was slightly disappointed in the room: it was pretty stifling despite the weather being merely warm; the four poster bed was much smaller than a modern double and had a cobweb hanging from one corner; and the weird red polyester throws/curtains and cushions with plastic crystals jarred with the intricate carvings and beans around us. But all in all a good experience and we enjoyed our stay.
