Affordable family stay

We stayed in a family room whilst travelling on a short beach break. The room was clean, spacious and the beds were comfortable, with tea and coffee facilities. There was a very good hot and cold food selection for breakfast for the whole family. We stayed over the bank holiday and the price was much more affordable than anywhere else and it’s less than a 15 min drive to the beach and 10 mins to Rye centre. Only complaint would be the power shower in our bathroom was very old and leaking a little, so temperamental when we used it. There were also cobwebs in the hallway and the place did feel a bit tired, but the kids loved the water fountain and flowers were lovely.

Disappointed

Not sure i would class the accommodation as 4*, more like 3*. Room ok, fairly comfortable but small, room and bathroom could do with a bit of a makeover. But shower was rather pathetic-it dribbled water out and was barely warm. Breakfast was ok but nothing special. What was the biggest disappointment was the use of the owner's establishment to put across his political viewpoint. Various signs and statements around the place were very off-putting as not everyone shares the same point of view and certainly do not want this thrust upon your face while on holiday. Therefore would not be returning.

The room was lovely but needed an update in the bathroom. There was a really nice seating area that unkempt which was ashame, but they had a larger seating area that was more accessible looking out on to the fields. Unfortunately, we waited over 1hr for our meal and there was a lack of breakfast items on our 1st morning. The staff were very friendly did their best to accommodate.

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.
