Friendly staff, lovely location and oast house part of building had great character. Tasty dinner and breakfast. Mattress was worn out and offered no support. Bathroom would benefit from an extractor fan - bath sealant moldy. Hardly any water pressure at shower head. Could do with refresh.

It's a charming property with friendly and helpful owners and great staff. The food is excellent. It's not fancy but the bed and room were comfortable with everything you'd need. Pleasant surroundings and close to Rye and Camber Sands.

A pleasant stay.

We had a very pleasant two night stay in a lovely roundel room. The restaurant food was good and service friendly and attentive. The location is pretty and only a few minutes drive from Rye. I'm sure we will return.

Would recommend

We enjoyed our stay at Playden Oasts Inn. The room was clean and had everything we needed. Breakfasts were good. An added bonus is the hotel is dog friendly and we had a room with a little private garden and there was a separate restaurant that was dog friendly for us to have breakfast and an evening meal. Would recommend.

Great stay.

Really lovely stay in this quiet little Oast House. We stayed in a round room, beautifully decorated with ensuite shower room. Tea and coffee and biscuits, TV in room. Plenty of drawers and cupboard space for clothes. Room clean and tidy. Breakfast was lovely, and everyone was so friendly. We also had an excellent roast dinner on the Sunday. Just a short walk into Rye, which was a bonus. Would totally recommend it, and we hope to stay there again.

Very nice property that is a converted oast house so you have the circular rooms that are the restaruant areas. Old creaky stairs etc make this hotel have a pleasant atmosphere. Well worth a try for somewhere different. Good rooms and facilities. Very helpful friendly staff.
