"I recently stayed at this hotel and found that its location is one of its biggest strengths. It’s close to plenty of shops and restaurants, and the lively pub downstairs adds a lot of character and energy to the place. There were, however, a few areas where the experience didn’t quite meet expectations, and I hope this feedback is helpful for both management and future guests. Breakfast Issue Breakfast wasn’t available on Saturday morning at the time confirmed in my booking and at check‑in, due to the kitchen staff being unable to access the kitchen. The staff member on duty did their best and suggested I go to another restaurant and request a refund later. Unfortunately, when I spoke with the manager, the interaction felt dismissive, and the hotel only refunded the nominal breakfast cost rather than honouring the original arrangement. Clearer communication and a more guest‑focused approach would really improve this. Room Cleanliness The room carpet hadn’t been cleaned before my arrival and had a visible stain, and the room wasn’t serviced on the second day. Small details like this make a big difference to the overall stay. Room Condition A few maintenance issues stood out: mould around the bath, a broken shower fitting that made it difficult to wash comfortably, and a vanity mirror that couldn’t be adjusted. These are all fixable and would help elevate the guest experience. "

"The novelty of staying in a 400 year old property, in an incredible location, right in the middle of Rye, made this the perfect place for a long weekend. Everything needed was right out the front door - museums, castle, pubs, and cafes. The actual house was well laid out with decent furnishings and clean towels, and linens. However, it was dirty in areas, like the crockery all had to be washed before use, blinds were dirty and dusty, and there was a lot of dust, dirt and dog hair around. Not ideal when having small children running about. Ultimately a small thing for such a wonderful place, but it did mean we ate out more then we were planning to."

"Lovely, warm cottage and great location in the heart of Rye. "

"Great house, great location. Slight issues with comms during our stay but all was fine."
