We had a pleasant stay at the hotel and was ideal and affordable for our 1 night stay.Staff we’re all very friendly and breakfast was of a reasonable standard and a good variety.The superior room had a very comfortable bed,bathroom is a little dated but as previously stated served a purpose.Not the best outlook from the bedroom window but again wasn’t there for the views.

comfortable and friendly

The staff were all really friendly and made us welcome, the breakfast was good and we had everything we needed. The room furniture was a little tired but our room was quiet and comfortable and we had an excellent short break. We would certainly stay here again as it was comfortable and just a short walk from the town.

Absolutely freezing cold room, despite going to reception no one came to the room to check the thermostate. To have a shower, we had to heat the bathroom with a plug in fan heater and remove before shower for safety. Everything else was really nice, but spoilt with being cold.

Very comfortable stay. Double room (22). Clean & tidy and staff very friendly. Only complaints, shower needs updating and wife had the avocado for breakfast but it had been mixed with something which made it strangely & texturely not tasty I’m afraid.

Very enjoyable stay

Well presented, decent sized room overlooking Rye Yacht moorings. Comfortable bed and good range of TV channels. Generous tea / coffee / milk provision in room. Good range of continental and cooked options at breakfast - very tasty. Easy walk into town for a range of restaurants for evening dining. Friendly and helpful staff.

Little place of joy

Warm welcome form friendly helpful staff. A simple but very clean and comfortable room over looking the river. Delicious breakfast and walking distance to centre of Rye. A little place of joy that we will be returning to.

Staff so helpful. When we got separated from our car (long story) the man on duty (owner? member of staff?) went out of his way to offer me a lift so that I could pick up the car.
