Mermaid Inn, hotel in Rye

With Norman cellars dating back to the 12th century and secret passageways in some of its rooms, this inn offers historic accommodation in Rye.

Staff on reception, restaurant and housekeeping very polite and friendly. It was challenging in the car park as space is limited however staff were able to assist by moving cars as appropriate. Breakfast was very good with plenty choice. Hotel takes the visitor back in time to another era with all the furnishings and fittings reflecting this.

The George In Rye, hotel in Rye

This hideaway is located in the centre of Rye and offers well-designed rooms, local wines and a restaurant menu infused with Mediterranean zest.

Location is excellent. Historic building, beautifully refurbished in a quirky, sympathetic modern take on country house style. Hotel is full of narrow passages, it’s fun to explore where they lead and spot beautiful architectural features. The beds really comfortable, the water pressure excellent, lovely Ren toiletries. The staff were charming and the food at dinner terrific - the melt in the mouth chateaubriand was a particular highlight, a good breakfast offering.

The Gallivant, hotel in Rye

The sand between your toes. Sky and beach as far as your eyes can see. Wonderful food made with love. Deeply comfortable beds in beautifully thought out bedrooms. Daily yoga and wellness classes.

Great room, super friendly stuff, very nice food, the portion was larger than we thought. Nice lounging area, very good interior. Nice little touches too like boots and rain coats. One of the best stays we had.

    A perfect weekend spot.

    A perfect weekend spot. There’s lots to see, but it’s manageable in a weekend, with plenty of time built in to enjoy the culinary delights on offer - there are some very good restaurants and cafes. Rye is very hilly and there are lots of flint, cobbled streets, so those with reduced and/or limited mobility may find it challenging to get around. Many of the buildings are listed and so not always the most accessible - don’t let this put you off, but just be aware.

    Rye is built on a hill so naturally has steep paths and many steps. However the local council try their best to discourage more elderly visitors by having closed most public toilets and arranging car parking so that visitors staying overnight have to be up early in the morning to get to the car parks at the bottom of the hill by 8.00am or risk a substantial fine. In view of this we would avoid staying overnight in the town in future

    We go to Rye a couple of times a year, we either stay at the Mermaid Inn, if they have an offer on. Or The Kings Head. We really like the Kings Head as it is really good value for money & staff are always most polite & friendly. We particularly like Rye for its Character & charm. It is always bustling. A place for a perfect little break.

    A charming town with a bustling vibe, full of independent shops. The restaurants are many and varied. There was plenty to do, even in January, though some attractions, such as the visitor centre was closed (tho online it said it was open). The church and castle are lovely. The church tower has spectacular views all round. Loved it, even in the snow! We were surprised to find a 3 screen cinema, showing films throughout the day and evening - a delight in the bitter cold.

    Beautiful town, If you want to stay in a n original Tudor house with modern facilities for an affordable price, this is it. Parking near, but you can load and unload at the front door. We managed to park on the street every night.

    Rye is a gorgeous town - full of cobbled streets and beamed houses. The St Mary's Church at the centre is beautiful and worth a visit - walk up to the top of the tower too for great views! Lots of nice shops and eateries.

    The cottage is beautiful, cosy and full of character. We went during a cold weekend in December and it was toasty warm. The room was even better than we expected: the bed super comfy, the shower was great, and the whole room was full of lovely little touches like very appreciated biscuits! Brenda did so much to make our stay comfortable, we really appreciated her setting up the table for takeaway fish and chips for dinner. A perfect location for a weekend in Rye, couldn't recommend it enough!

    Friendliness of the staff. This is the 4th or 5th time I've stayed in this hotel and I've always found the staff very friendly. It's nice to have friendly staff when you check in, return late at night, and at breakfast time. It really makes a difference. It's clean. The bath towels are of a good size and good quality (not a given). The hotel has a car park which is one of the key factors for choosing this accommodation in Rye.

    Lovely spacious room - we were given a disabled room. Some noise from the street but nothing too bad - we wore hearing aids. Lovely ambience and beautiful courtyard. Breakfast was amazing. A particular mention to Anna at breakfast - welcomed by a lovely smile and she was so happy always makes everybody else happy. Hotel very clean and very central - the George is the hub of Rye.

    Large clean flat conveniently located on the high street. Nicely renovated, comfortable, and accommodating all in a wonderful location. Full kitchen facilities, lounge area, and separate bedroom. There was even an iMac to use, which was convenient and not something that was expected. I would love to stay here again upon my next visit to Rye.
