Top Rye Hotel Reviews

The George in Rye

10/10 Excellent

"Had an amazing 3 nights at the George Hotel in Rye. The hotel environment made the stay so relaxing . The Grill Restaurant provided delicious dinner with attentive staff as was so with the breakfasts each morning. The reception staff were very helpful making sure that the two rooms booked were right for our family of four.. This was particularly important as my husband has mobility issues relating to Parkinson's. The room was great with step free access from the road. We would certainly use the George again."

The Playden Oasts Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Very enjoyable stay, staff were great and very approachable. Had a lovely meal 1 night. Breakfast was very good."

The Lookout Rye

8/10 Good

"Great location and lovely furnishings. Very helpful and friendly staff."

Flackley Ash Country House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a very enjoyable stay here recently. The house and grounds were beautiful and the bedrooms were spacious and well-equipped. We had breakfast and a really helpful member of staff (Mollie?) reserved a lovely table for us in the conservatory for my mother-in-law's birthday. We unfortunately didn't have time to use the facilities on this trip, but the pool and spa area looked lovely and we hope to return."

The Ship Inn

8/10 Good

"Great location right in the centre of Rye and the staff were helpful. The room was bright and well cleaned. Enjoyed the breakfast. Would have been nice to get a bit more ventilation as the weather was so hot. Also the WI-FI was rather unreliable, working at first and then stopping. Overall, a good experience and would recommend."

The Old Borough Arms

8/10 Good

"Clean room. Very helpful staff. In the middle of all activities. Could not find hairdryer in the room. I thought that parking was available but it’s parking on the road and only two hours during the day but plentiful car parks nearby. Super ice cream shop attached to property."

The Gallivant

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property and lovely staff… Breakfast was great and I would advise that you book dinner in advance as it gets booked up fast!"

The Kings Head Rye

10/10 Excellent

"Have stayed many times before, we always have a laugh with the staff and breakfast is excellent. Will continue to go back."
