So much history around every corner. It's a really gorgeous setting, with period detail throughout. Staff were friendly and helpful, and rapidly corrected an error made during check-out. Breakfast was delicious and you can tell they use high quality ingredients in everything. I was slightly disappointed in the room: it was pretty stifling despite the weather being merely warm; the four poster bed was much smaller than a modern double and had a cobweb hanging from one corner; and the weird red polyester throws/curtains and cushions with plastic crystals jarred with the intricate carvings and beans around us. But all in all a good experience and we enjoyed our stay. ##### Rachel Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mihaela Simona Jul 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wonderful historic Inn in the heart of Rye.

This and more set in the most quaint of all cobbled streets in a super little Sussex town. ##### Mike Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Aug 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Mermaid Fabulous location. Helpful staff. Very historic. Took dog who was allowed in room and terrace only. The lounges were empty and it would have been nice to access those. Breakfast was nice too. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Stephen Oct 22, 2025 Disliked: Staff & service Disappointed ##### Stephen Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carolyn Sep 2, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We loved our stay in this unique place. The staff was warm and welcoming and very accommodating and the surrounding area was gorgeous to wander. Given the age of the Inn, the facilities are excellent, although an upgrade in the bathroom, especially the shower, would be nice. Overall though, I highly recommend this wonderful, historic, and charming place! ##### Carolyn Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Sean Feb 10, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort excellent spot. great history. rooms are tiny, but to be expected for something built in the 1100's.

Check in was chaos with our room not ready and different excuses being made. You will be allocated an inferior room with fake beams and tatty modern furniture in an annexe if you don’t specify the exact room you want ( but be charged the same price ) Parking is very tight , we were glad we took our older car. Our bathroom was little more than a broom cupboard with a pokey cubicle and no water pressure. Any ghostly activities are more likely to be other people snoring , plumbing issues or the battery dying in your smoke detector. Food here is pretty awful , very limited choice for breakfast . Bar meals only in the evening due to lack of staff. No nice finishing touches or attention to detail we get in similar priced hotels elsewhere. It’s a beautiful old hotel let down by poor management relying on the character of the place to fill it . ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Apr 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Glen Apr 12, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Interesting very old building with a lot of character. The desk staff seemed irritated and inconvenienced to be welcoming guests, but the gentleman who showed us to our room was very friendly and joyful. ##### Glen Stayed 1 night in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim Apr 10, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### What a find …. What a find. Fascinating hotel, best staff I’ve come across in a long time, great food and drink. Highly recommend a stay and Rye itself if beautiful. ##### Kim Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claire Apr 4, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Historic Inn with oodles of character Love the Mermaid Inn, it is steeped in history, lots of tales of smugglers and ghosts and full of character. All in the beautiful historic town on Rye with excellent shopping and places to visit. ##### Claire Stayed 1 night in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### JLB Mar 23, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Very pleasant, nice atmosphere within the hotel. ##### JLB Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris Feb 28, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### What a great Hotel Fantastic hotel with exceptional staff. the food was great and the hotel oozed character ##### Chris Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Holiday Inn Express Hamilton by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hamilton.h1889137.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Beach House Rental with Hot Tub, 30 meters to Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Looe-Hotels-Luxury-Beach-House-Rental-With-Hot-Tub.h27313935.Hotel-Information) > > [Bonkle House](https://www.expedia.ca/Wishaw-Hotels-Bonkle-House.h15996183.Hotel-Information) > > [Unique Luxury Escapes](https://www.expedia.ca/Diss-Hotels-Unique-Luxury-Escapes.h29745570.Hotel-Information) > > [Windermere Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Windermere-Manor-Hotel.h22280374.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge Gatwick Airport Central](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Travelodge-Gatwick-Airport-Central.h10160516.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Peterborough-Marriott-Hotel.h691233.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloc Hotel London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Bloc-Hotel-London-Gatwick-Airport.h6594190.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Peterborough.h2254377.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pearl Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-The-Pearl-Hotel.h6335144.Hotel-Information) > > [The Manor House](https://www.expedia.ca/Scarborough-Hotels-The-Manor-House.h44509462.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Hamilton Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Hamilton-Park.h33810078.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Peterborough by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Peterborough.h281577.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Peterborough.h2928593.Hotel-Information) > > [No Man's Fort](https://www.expedia.ca/Portsmouth-Hotels-No-Mans-Fort.h11536410.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Northampton](https://www.expedia.ca/Northampton-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Northampton-Town-Centre.h12543.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Milton Keynes](https://www.expedia.ca/Milton-Keynes-Hotels-Novotel-Milton-Keynes.h892420.Hotel-Information) > > [Camelot Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Tintagel-Hotels-Camelot-Castle-Hotel.h8083111.Hotel-Information) > > [Pennyhill Park Hotel And Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Bagshot-Hotels-Pennyhill-Park-Hotel-And-Spa.h517256.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson BLU Hotel Durham](https://www.expedia.ca/Durham-Hotels-Radisson-BLU-Hotel-Durham.h2226171.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h7234788.Hotel-Information) > > [Heated indoor pool & spa, countryside holiday cottage near the beach & park](https://www.expedia.ca/Hastings-Hotels-Heated-Indoor-Pool-Spa.h18971402.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h20753.Hotel-Information) > > [Lumley Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Chester-Le-Street-Hotels-Lumley-Castle-Hotel.h175571.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandman Signature London Gatwick Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Crawley-Hotels-Sandman-Signature-London-Gatwick-Hotel.h6579.Hotel-Information) > > [The Harlow Hotel By AccorHotels](https://www.expedia.ca/Harlow-Hotels-The-Harlow-Hotel-By-AccorHotels.h950.Hotel-Information) > > [Pinewood Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ibstock-Hotels-Pinewood-Lodge.h17183221.Hotel-Information) > > [The Crown hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Woodbridge-Hotels-The-Crown-Hotel.h520172.Hotel-Information)
