A beautiful property with quaint gardens within the grounds. Room was for four of us, we had a double bed and a bunk. It was a small room but perfect for us. Bright, airy, and clean with an ensuite shower. Breakfast was included and was a great selection of hot, fresh fruit, cereals with coffee and juices. Would definitely come back and wholeheartedly recommended.

Dissapointed

Bad wifi, shower was disgusting so we didnt shower. Bed was dusty and we didnt sleep, mould in bathroom and paint coming off ceiling, false advertising!!! Didnt look at all like the photos, the owner really needs to change things, wanted a nice night away for piece and quiet and relax, couldnt even shower in that thing and got such bad allergies from the bedding. That owner should be ashamed, scamming people like that, that place has so much more potential, its a shame, we checked in, saw the room and left and only came back to sleep, obviously couldnt, packed our bags by 8, tried the breakfast and checked out immediately after.... oh and sign on check in said said no stupid people beyond this point

Good for a short stay

All in all, the hotel is okay. It's getting a bit long in the tooth, and I would describe the facilities as rather basic overall. Room service is only provided when required. Breakfast is okay.

Absolutely disappointing stay. The room was incredibly cramped — barely enough space to move around. The beds felt cheap and flimsy, with uncomfortable mattresses where you could feel the springs digging into your back. The bathroom was basic to the point of being bare — leaking taps, barely any water pressure, and just generally poor maintenance. We requested a standard midday checkout, which most places offer without fuss, but the staff were unhelpful and insisted on an 11am checkout, which felt petty and rigid. For £118 a night, the experience was nowhere near worth it — I’ve had far better stays at Travelodge or Premier Inn for less than half the price. Overall, not recommended. Save your money and book elsewhere.

The staff were excellent and did a great job with a smile regardless of the fact they were short staffed. The room was ok overall, clean and comfortable. The bathroom is a wet room which is fine however mould in the grout lines was taking hold, probably due to being short staffed. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would stay again. (For a third visit)

Comfortable and good location

The bedroom was spacious and clean. On the downside the bathroom was tired looking and the shower control not working so very hot water. Could not use.

My friend and I stayed here as Rye was too expensive. Check is a strict 3pm doors shut. The accommodation was ok. Felt a bit tired but good value for money with a breakfast. Beds and linen comfortable and clean - bathroom a bit tired and shower had no pressure. Overall no complaints for the price of the room. Grounds need a bit of attention.

Unexpected Gem!

We had a great stay! It was a last-minute booking and ended up being such a nice surprise. The room was lovely, and the breakfast was amazing—easily one of the best we’ve had in the UK. The staff were super friendly. We really enjoyed our time there and would definitely come back.
