Had a really nice stay, the rooms were clean & the breakfast really good. Unfortunately the restaurant wasn’t open in the evening so it needed a short walk into the main street to find a restaurant or pub. However, the flip side is that it’s very quiet there and it’s a lovely walk down sone beautiful old cobbled streets.

A lovely welcome on arrival, comfortable room with a wonderful view. Great shower, good size of room. Just TV, No netflix or other streaming service. Great service, easy to top up tea, coffee, fresh milk etc. No car park but easy walking distance to other car parks. Near plenty of places to eat. In a lovely, historic part of Rye with lots to see.

Nice and quiet in the evenings. Lovely views. Bit of a pain with the parking and having to walk up steps with my luggage from the car park in town, but the stay and view was worth it.

Hotel was clear and bed was comfortable. Parking was not convenient as we had to park down the hill at a car lot and then walk a long flight of stone stairs up the hill with are luggage. We were giving the 2nd floor.....2 more flights of stairs and no water pressure in the shower as we were so high upstairs. Breakfast was nice but parking too much of an issue.

Excellent breakfast. Don’t like sage in my sausage but was admonished by my family for grumbling about it. Apparently sage goes with pork. Fabulous friendly staff, lovely central hotel, clean comfortable rooms. Will return.
