Charming old and exceptional place, amazing friendly staff in a warm and welcoming manner. Lovely location near to a quiet getaway, yet close to the mainline train station and beautiful cobbled town centre of Rye, historical center and St Mary's Church. Lovely bed, pet-friendly room with a view of the harbor.
