Place was ok all in all. Good location, parking was tricky. They don't take peoples car registration so on first night had someone working there knock on the door waking us at 10.45pm asking if a car was ours that had blocked the entrance. Poor thing had to knock on everyone's doors and wake them up to go home. Same thing at breakfast, someone had parked inconsiderately and people couldn't leave. Rooms are ok but tired, clearly able to hear neighbouring rooms. Bathroom shower from the 70's but water pressure good. Electric shower sounded like an aircraft trying to take off. Breakfast poor. Not enough staff to clear tables or restock. Telling people, - no you will have to wait for me to clear tables and now I am too busy" may be honest, but gave a really poor impression. Outside between rooms are quite nice, but the fountain is covered in slime so heavy that run over the edges.

Disgraceful hotel management!!!

Disgraceful hotel management!!! My colleagues arrived at the hotel to find it completely closed, all the were lights off, nobody was in the hotel and there were cones across the car park! We had to book into a different hotel. 30 minutes later the hotel manager called my colleagues to say he had opened the hotel by which time it was too late! He then declined to refund our booking and told me that my colleagues were lying, my colleagues have stayed there in the past and it was at their request that we booked this particular hotel, there is absolutely no reason for them to lie! The hotel manager spoke to me like dirt and for this reason we will never stay there again!

Not bad, but not brilliant

The room was (standard) was adequate. The shower was awkward to adjust and operate, but the room had everything we needed. The evening meal again was ok. Not exceptional, and the menu. was not very inspiring The breakfast was extremely good.

Excellent place to stay, quiet, very clean, everything you need, easy parking and superb food ( best breakfast ever - such a choice ). Only concern was no staff are on site between 11:00 and 15:00 - the birthday flowers I'd ordered couldnt be delivered. Overall we really enjoyed this stay

Great stay

Just the kind of stay we wanted as a couples night away. It was quiet, views were amazing and did have some sunshine too. The rooms were great with the patio. We had a fabulous evening meal here at the onsite restaurant and breakfast which was great. Service was excellent. The only niggles were the fridge in our room needed a clean inside and we could not get any service on bedroom tv for netflix. Appreciating that we stayed at the end of the season, the beautiful pots on the patio could have been weeded or plants in, as the front of the properties plants were well maintained. The views are amazing and even empty pots would have been better.

Lovely clean friendly place with restaurant and bar onsite. Bit like a travelodge but more personal. Rooms clean and comfortable but otherwise basic. Slept really well but decided to skip the buffet breakfast and go to a cafe nearby

Staff were friendly and competent. Bed was very uncomfortable/lumpy. Shower head was broken. Water fountain outside room was on all night and very noisy as was the traffic. I burnt my finger on the hot food tongs at breakfast. The 4star rating given for the lodge should have been 3star.

Hotel is nicely situated for Rye and the surrounding area. Comfortable, friendly, and stayed for 3 nights. Food is good, and the breakfast sausages are exceptionally good! Looked forward to them! Evening meals are of good quality and quantity and discovered a really great lager that was new to me called Madri, which you might think is a Spanish lager, but it's, a joint venture and brewed in Tadcaster, Yorkshire! Would recommend the Hotel for a friendly, adequate and convenient place to stay. Great for couples, its quiet and staff and management friendly.
