Book a Icklesham Cottage

"Good location, very central. Impressed, liked it even better than more expensive “sister” hotel (quieter). Good breakfast included in the price. Nice outdoor space for a drink or breakfast on a nice day. Will go back there for sure! "

"I eventually found a double room which I thought was good ( my first one was cold) only to find that there was a humming sound that kept me awake coming from the two ventilators/generators on the roof outside my window BUT Lauren from reception was fantastic and is an asset to Cooden Beach Hotel, well done Lauren and the other members of staff👍The Spa massage was great but I thought a little pricey, having said the above I would still recommend Cooden Beach "

"This hotel has seen better days and it shows. It's not the fault of the staff. The price reflects this though."

"I’m sorry to say this was a bitter disappointment. Please don’t be mislead by the 5 star grading. This is just about a 3 star at best. The executive room mattress must be over 20 years old the way it’s it’s dipped and given way. Had to sleep in the middle and woke up with a terrible back. Food was really terribly basic. Staff are lovely and couldn’t fault their friendliness which was the one benefit. "

"Hotel has really nice views, plenty of walks along the beach to spend on a sunny day. Spa area is ok, but quite full on the weekend so be prepared :-) Two things that were a little bit of a let-down; for a hotel that prides itself as a spa hotel it should really have shampoo and conditioner in the shower. Especially after pool time. Second thing is that the TV is not smart - just something to keep in mind if you want to chill after a little swim around the pool. Otherwise hotel and amenities are pretty good. "

"Comfortable large double room, clean and fresh smelling. The on-suite was large and well set out. Only negative was a shower that barely sprayed, no pressure and the temperature fluctuated. Bed was very comfortable and the quilt heavy. Food was standard pub fare well cooked and delicious. The staff were were good, welcoming and helpful. Car parking was easy and secure. Will stay again if available."

"3rd visit & always provides a great service. "

"The view was excellent, staff very helpful,room was great value.The outside of Hotel needs a bit of tlc and carpets on floors need good cleaning on 2nd and third floors."

"James at the front desk saw that our bags were delivered to our room while we explored the city. Breakfast was fresh, plentiful and hot. Staff was very thoughtful. Did not see any ghosts, but still had an amazing stay. Rye is very sweet and the Mermaid Inn is very special. "
