Stayed at this hotel before and enjoyed it. This time the hotel had been up grading some of the rooms. One of the best reasons for staying is the staff are very friendly and helpful. Another reason is one of the few hotels in Rye and surrounding area with its own car park.

The staff were excellent and very accommodating. Very comfortable room for a family of 4 and the beds were very comfortable. Breakfast was excellent - lots of choice and extras were available if needed. We were also able to pay for late check out which was fabulous as we had been to a wedding the day before and really needed to have a lay-in!! Would definitely go back and would highly recommend!

A large, clean and comfortable room in close proximity to Rye town centre with ample parking. We only stayed for one night but if we return to Rye, which we may well do, then we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

10 out of 10 for the staff, who were welcoming and helpful. The location of the property is very good for exploring Rye, a short walk away. The room size was good, however the window locks are old and ineffective, and I noted a fire door propped open, giving people access from the street. Needs some money spent on it to bring up to standard, but as I said, staff were great.
