    We thoroughly enjoyed the deluxe queen room which was pet-friendly with an excellent view. The breakfast served was great value and tasty with perfect scrambled and a vegetarian option, for instance.

    Just an optimal selection for a weekend jaunt in Rye, great value for money. The sirloin steak we had was the best we've ever tasted. Be aware of low ceilings in the bathroom if you're tall.

    Charming stay with excellent breakfast

    I had a very comfortable two nights with a spacious room that offered lovely views over the Sussex countryside. The breakfast was a highlight, with locally sourced ingredients that were freshly cooked and delicious. The staff were friendly and efficient. The bathroom facilities could use some improvement, as there were minor issues with the shower.
