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.

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!

Unfortunately we had to leave two days early due to very hot weather and both feeling unwell
