Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Rooms were okay however they smelled like a fried food all the time and the room had a musty smell. Wouldn’t stay if staying for more than a night. Fire alarm also randomly started going off at 1am and all of us had to be evacuated and there was no reason fire hazard apparently.

Really cosy and welcoming!
I booked a quick trip away just for a quick break and from the very start the hospitality was amazing, so friendly and welcoming. The food in the restaurant was delicious and I had a wonderful nights sleep. I brought my dog with me too whom was also made to feel most welcome. I wholeheartedly recommend this Inn and If I travel to Rye again I will no doubt stay there again!

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Very spacious and comfortable room. Good choice of tasty breakfasts. Customer service needs improvement, e.g. when I politely asked a member of staff to remove Christmas decorations from a staircase handrail, explaining that I needed to use the handrail because of poor eyesight, a day later (when we departed), this had not been actioned.

Stay at the ship
The room was fine except the bathroom sink light didn't work which I reported but they did nothing. Dinner was OK but service VERY brusque and eating elsewhere in Rye much better. Had the cheek to add 10%for service As for breakfasts then abysmal ! NO cereals and poached eggs on a bun - little choice and VERY expensive for anyone visiting - better to breakfast elsewhere -they are clearly not interested.
