Nice welcome & shown to the room. Clean room with a super comfy bed.
Central location, so could walk around Rye easily.
The staff of Ship Inn were lovely and helpful. The room/bed was fine. The only thing that we had an issue was the bathtub did not drain well so we kept the water low.
Thanks for having us!
Spotlessly clean accommodation. Comfy bed. Lovely staff. First class chef for both dinner and breakfast (which was huge). Cracking stay!

Really lovely suite. Good pub food and brilliant staff. Recommended if a family needs to stay in one room in Rye. Only negative wansa little pub noise in the evening but absolutely to be expected
A pleasant enough stay unfortunately the bar area closed at 8pm so we had to go out for a drink. I are there and did not really enjoy my chicken roast, which is unusual as it is one of my favourite meals. The worst thing was possibly the parking they advertise self parking which is in fact street parking. On a Sunday afternoon in this busy part of town there was no spaces to be found the car par.ks were full and no spaces on the streets at all
Situated in a good position within walking distance off all the Town's attractions.
Excellent Breakfasts, set you up for the day.
The room was clean and comfortable with good en-suite
bathroom, with shower.
Would use again on next visit.
