The room was newly decorated and generous-sized with comfortable beds, just what we needed. The location was perfect and excellent: a market and interesting independent shops were within walking distance. The hotel was set in a really comfortable area.

Every single thing was perfect. The breakfast was very good with good quality food, all the food was lovely. The location of the hotel was very central, adjacent to the centre of Rye-a lovely historic town, the restaurant for dinner and the quayside. Also, we were at a short distance from Mermaid Street.
Their staff were not so friendly.

Thoroughly enjoyed Rye, the hotel was exceptionally comfortable and pleasant by boats "revving up " on the river. The standard queen room was heated with a comfy bed. The breakfast offered lots of lovely meals. The setting was good and perfect, so close to the Heritage centre, the Antique, and particularly the areas overlooking the river. Fast food restaurant Oriental Delight was 500 metres away from the place.
