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.

This very old wonderful Inn is at the heart of Rye. All of the staff, reception, porters, waiting/bar staff, cleaners were so polite and professional. Very easy to get lost in the nest of corridors and stairways however the helpful staff are never far away to point you in the right direction. The Mermaid is ideally placed for exploring lovely Rye.

    A walk around the town of Rye is a must to see all the old buildings and shops. There are quite a number of restaurants in Rye to choose from. Some of the 'owners' or managers need a course in customer service....Called into one to check his menu and when we said we were just looking he was not so helpful after we said we are just looking for a place for tonight.... However, we stopped into a small cafe for lunch and had great potato soup, which was excellent on a cold day.

    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.

    The hotel is super cute and quaint - just the perfect little place to stay to match the whole vibe of Rye. The rooms are exactly as they appear on the photos. I stayed in crumpet on the top floor which was spacious and clean. The cafe downstairs is lovely, having breakfast included with the room was a particularly nice touch and the breakfast options were impressive! Staff were lovely and I was able to check in slightly earlier which was super handy. Would definitely recommend the hotel to a friend.

    Location was brilliant, we will definitely be staying here on our next visit to Rye. Our hosts went above and beyond to provide for us, they were so helpful with recommendations of places to visit in Rye. Breakfast was so lovely every morning, great selection of dishes, all homemade and their attention to detail was perfect. So kind and thoughtful, especially for my partner who was coeliac, they happily catered for him. Can’t wait to come back!

    The Hope Anchor is a very charming Hotel in a historic building. Our room had a great size and was very well-equipped. The room was so quiet we felt like we were the only guests in Rye. The breakfast had a wide selection and was good. Due to the historic location, parking at the site is not possible but the car park in the town centre is very affordable.

    This is a beautiful pub/restaurant/hotel, steeped in history. Well kept, very clean and an ideal location for exploring the historic town of Rye. The room we had was well equipped with all the expected amenities but a little bit on the small side especially for longer stays. The staff were polite and attentive to our needs. Would definitely stay again.

    Loved the decor which was in keeping with the hotel. The bed was comfy and everything was spotlessly clean. The towels were large and fluffy, a real treat. We ate dinner at the hotel and enjoyed tasty food, generous portions and our meals were piping hot. Breakfast was equally as delicious, especially the bacon. Our host, Kim was very welcoming.

    The hotel is in an excellent location right on the High St. Rye is quite small so it was easy to see everything we planned to see. The hotel room was clean, beautifully decorated and very quiet. The breakfast was plentiful with lots of choice.
