Short break.

Very enjoyable couple of days. Friendly hosts and tasty breakfast cooked to order. Clean and comfortable room. Plenty of parking. Excellent location for town. Sadly evening restaurant no longer operating but plenty of other eating options within short walking distance, including a lovely Italian.

We had a pleasant stay at the hotel and was ideal and affordable for our 1 night stay.Staff we’re all very friendly and breakfast was of a reasonable standard and a good variety.The superior room had a very comfortable bed,bathroom is a little dated but as previously stated served a purpose.Not the best outlook from the bedroom window but again wasn’t there for the views.

comfortable and friendly

The staff were all really friendly and made us welcome, the breakfast was good and we had everything we needed. The room furniture was a little tired but our room was quiet and comfortable and we had an excellent short break. We would certainly stay here again as it was comfortable and just a short walk from the town.

Absolutely freezing cold room, despite going to reception no one came to the room to check the thermostate. To have a shower, we had to heat the bathroom with a plug in fan heater and remove before shower for safety. Everything else was really nice, but spoilt with being cold.

Very comfortable stay. Double room (22). Clean & tidy and staff very friendly. Only complaints, shower needs updating and wife had the avocado for breakfast but it had been mixed with something which made it strangely & texturely not tasty I’m afraid.

Very enjoyable stay

Well presented, decent sized room overlooking Rye Yacht moorings. Comfortable bed and good range of TV channels. Generous tea / coffee / milk provision in room. Good range of continental and cooked options at breakfast - very tasty. Easy walk into town for a range of restaurants for evening dining. Friendly and helpful staff.
