My stay at the hotel was delightful. The rooms were lovely with a four-poster bed and almost every comfort one could have wished for, though a bit small for a couple of nights. While flooded with sunlight early in the morning, it was still a charming space. The service was extremely helpful, especially accommodating my 88-year-old mother. The location was central with convenient parking, making it ideal for exploring Rye. The dining experience offered delicious options, although the presentation was a bit dated. Overall, a wonderful stay with excellent service and amenities.

The hotel is situated in a charming location on the atmospheric Mermaid Street, near the center of Rye. The rooms, though cozy, had their bathroom across the corridor and required climbing steep stairs. The service was friendly and helpful, but there was a slight mishap of plates being whisked away too quickly. The dining experience offered a delicious array of options, with a slightly long wait for cooked food. Overall, a lovely stay with a few quirks to keep in mind.

The rooms overlooked the beautiful Mermaid Street, although a bit dusty, leading to sneezes and sniffles. The narrow and steep stairs, common in these historic buildings, added to the charm.

The dining experience was amazing, with a huge choice of cooked options and generous portions, making the wait for freshly cooked food well worth it. The recommendation for the full English and smoked haddock with poached eggs was spot on.
