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 #### 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.

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 #### Mike Jun 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Not the cheapest joint in town, but offering a memorable event with good service and hospitality thrown in for good measure. 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 traveler 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 traveler 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.
