Lovely hotel. Very glad I took their offer to book table for dinner on first night, as we struggled to find somewhere on the 2nd night that had a table. Rye was lovely, suspect we will go back one day and would happily stay at same hotel again. We had great view out to Camber castle and walked there and to great bird hide nearby to it.
Apple Maps took us up the steps with our luggage😩
