Everything about the hotel was lovely, parking down in the town could be an issue for some

Lovely hotel. Very glad I took their offer to book table for dinner on first night, as we struggled to find somewhere on the 2nd night that had a table. Rye was lovely, suspect we will go back one day and would happily stay at same hotel again. We had great view out to Camber castle and walked there and to great bird hide nearby to it.

Lovely old hotel, in a great area of Rye, at the end of a beautiful cobbled street. Staff were lovely and helpful, room was individual and very comfortable. Couldn't have asked for better.
