caroline, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff went over and above to be helpful. Hotel was very old and quirky. Lots of character and charm. The broken radiator in my room was sorted out successfully. The toilet in the room did not flush terribly well and the shower low pressure. Lovely lounges to sit in and the restaurant was very attractive. We had a good breakfast.

Beautiful room, I bought this as an early Xmas present for my parents who loved the building, the history and location. The staff were brilliant and breakfast very good. Highly recommend

Great place to stay- but bathroom facilities were poor- no decent shower etc. But it’s still a great place to say!
Andrew, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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

Poor evening meal menu
AlAn, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Mike, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Mrs Pamela J, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Nice hotel in a great location with parking, however it was very expensive for a very small room. It was hard for two people to get ready in there and it was cluttered. The shower had such low pressure and there were cracks in the bathroom walls. I expected more for nearly £200 a night!

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.
1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!
