"Great find in Rye! Room number 4 had balcony looking over car park which was better than it sounds….peaceful, secluded and surrounded by trees. Balcony needs attention but this didn’t detract from the lovely room. Staff smiley and helpful. Loved the bar outside to watch the world go by. Great breakfast which was cooked to order and dining room a pleasant space. Great location for sightseeing."
