    I liked pet-friendly room in this hotel.

    Had pleasant overnight stay in value for money hotel with exceptionally attentive staff and unbeatable location down hill into Rye center. The breakfast was gorgeous and super with toast and also an extra sausage for the dog, worth the price...

    We enjoyed sailing and some outdoor tennis . The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful. Everything was well-organized, and the meals were excellent, especially dessert! Just a heads up, it's a bit of a walk uphill back from town, so plan accordingly.

    nice but needs some improvement

    The beach hut theme in our room was charming, with thoughtful decorations. Breakfast choices were plentiful, and the staff's friendliness.

    The overall ambiance could have been enhanced with better sound isolation.

    Charming decor and fab staff

    We stayed for 3 nights in a beach hut-themed room. It was super cute, and the breakfast was delish! Dinner at the pub was tasty too, though service was a tad slow. Still, the staff were always friendly and helpful, made up for it. Loved the outdoor dining area! A lovely spot for a relaxing getaway.

    The staff were all friendly and efficient which makes a huge difference when you are away from home. Dinner was excellent too good value for money I still think about that fish and chips.

    It wasn't exactly cheap but you get what you pay for.

    The decor was super charming, and the cottage room was super clean. Loved the big comfy bed and the shower was really spacious. Plus, the breakfast was delish! Just a short stroll to the town, cool. Only bummer was the restaurant was fully booked on our first night.
