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 #### Robert Mar 7, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Would suit most people.staff we're excellent ##### Robert Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patricia Sep 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Dinner was amazing and breakfast was excellent. ##### Patricia Stayed 1 night in Sep 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 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jeanette Nov 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Nice hotel in a great location with parking, however it was very expensive for a very small room. It was hard for two people to get ready in there and it was cluttered. The shower had such low pressure and there were cracks in the bathroom walls. I expected more for nearly £200 a night! ##### Jeanette Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jenny and mark Nov 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities 100 percent ##### Jenny and mark Stayed 2 nights in Nov 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 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Lincoln House](https://www.expedia.ca/Keswick-Hotels-Lincoln-House.h92972192.Hotel-Information) > - [Parkview Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/High-Wycombe-Hotels-Parkview-Apartments.h32463857.Hotel-Information) > - [Royal Albion Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Broadstairs-Hotels-Royal-Albion-Hotel.h2417584.Hotel-Information) > - [The Coach And Horses Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Penzance-Hotels-The-Coach-And-Horses-Inn.h21420866.Hotel-Information) > - [Low Wood Bay Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Low-Wood-Bay.h5243.Hotel-Information) > - [OYO The Billingford Horseshoes](https://www.expedia.ca/Diss-Hotels-The-Billingford-Horseshoes.h11899343.Hotel-Information) > - [Harbour Hotel St Ives](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Ives-Hotels-St-Ives-Harbour-Hotel.h175599.Hotel-Information) > - [Glenhaven](https://www.expedia.ca/Saxmundham-Hotels-Glenhaven.h30997583.Hotel-Information) > - [No Man's Fort](https://www.expedia.ca/Portsmouth-Hotels-No-Mans-Fort.h11536410.Hotel-Information) > - [White Hart Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Martock-Hotels-White-Hart-Hotel.h2113415.Hotel-Information) > - [The White Hart Royal Hotel, Moreton-in-Marsh](https://www.expedia.ca/Moreton-In-Marsh-Hotels-White-Hart-Royal-Hotel.h3848404.Hotel-Information) > - [The Manor House](https://www.expedia.ca/Dronfield-Hotels-The-Manor-House.h4780993.Hotel-Information) > - [The Pearl Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-The-Pearl-Hotel.h6335144.Hotel-Information) > - [High Force Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Barnard-Castle-Hotels-High-Force-Hotel.h77973146.Hotel-Information) > - [Twyford Farm B&B](https://www.expedia.ca/Haywards-Heath-Hotels-Twyford-Farm-BB.h26780826.Hotel-Information) > - [Greystoke House](https://www.expedia.ca/Keswick-Hotels-Greystoke-House.h29075738.Hotel-Information) > - [The Manor House](https://www.expedia.ca/Scarborough-Hotels-The-Manor-House.h44509462.Hotel-Information) > - [Bike & Boot Peak District](https://www.expedia.ca/Hope-Valley-Hotels-Bike-Boot-Peak-District.h106103304.Hotel-Information) > - [YotelAIR London Gatwick ](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Yotel-Air-London-Gatwick.h18969729.Hotel-Information) > - [Pennyhill Park Hotel And Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Bagshot-Hotels-Pennyhill-Park-Hotel-And-Spa.h517256.Hotel-Information) > - [The Oaks](https://www.expedia.ca/Ellesmere-Hotels-The-Oaks.h27000273.Hotel-Information) > - [The George](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-George-Hotel.h45140643.Hotel-Information) > - [Kielder Cottage Spa - E3533](https://www.expedia.ca/Hexham-Hotels-Kielder-Cottage-E3533.h32928914.Hotel-Information) > - [Stay at-FL](https://www.expedia.ca/Crawley-Hotels-Stay-At-FL.h89418790.Hotel-Information) > - [The Trout](https://www.expedia.ca/Cockermouth-Hotels-The-Trout.h11899282.Hotel-Information) > - [Keswick, Garden Apartment for 2\.
