It was fabulous! the staff were excellent in every department and made us feel very welcome. We especially loved the atmosphere and staff in the bar, it made my wife's birthday extra special. The other highlight was the superb meal we enjoyed on her day, it was very enjoyable in every respect. We will definitely be revisiting your fantastic hotel again very soon.
The sand between your toes. Sky and beach as far as your eyes can see. Wonderful food made with love. Deeply comfortable beds in beautifully thought out bedrooms. Daily yoga and wellness classes.

Interesting dinner menu and wine list; well executed cooking . Not exceptional but good, nice cocktails in a pleasant bar. General ambience is relaxed and low key with attentive and friendly staff. Breakfast maintains the “health vibe” and is nicely presented . Book a room to the back of house if possible, these have a small terrace in a pretty, serene garden .
Located in the Sussex countryside 4 miles from the historic town of Rye, Flackley Ash is a delightful Grade II listed Georgian country house with an award-winning restaurant, a bar and spa facilities....

Rye is an historic town that needs exploring. Guide pamphlets are available. There are convenient restaurants and pubs to suit all tastes. Train and bus connections are good. Plenty of parking on non market days. There is a cinema. A short trip to Rye harbour allows exploration at the nature reserve with excellent information centre and cafe. Anyone with walking problems may find some of the cobbled streets challenging

If you want a really authentic Inn the Mermaid is the one for you. Clean rooms and comfy bed. The staff were very helpful and food amazing. The only thing if not good on your feet is the cobbled streets but that is what you expect for this type of setting. Other than that nothing can fault it. Will definitely be back again. Also there is a lovely little cake come sandwich shop tucked down a little side pathway called The Cobbler. If not watching your diet certainly worth a visit.

Rye is a gorgeous town and clean.
Rye is a gorgeous town and clean. One of Henry the VIII's Cinque ports, so lots of history. We visit regularly.
Lots of places to eat, recommend Hayden's, Apothecary coffee shop and Cobbles tearoom. There are several others we have not tried. Avoid Marino's fish and Simon the Pieman has gone downhill.
Shops- Antique, gifts, books, clothes, chemists, and a good Jempson's supermarket at nearby Peasmarsh.
Pleasant town indoor swimming pool. Walks including a short one by the Windmill.
Lambs in the fields.
Tudor houses, Ypres tower with views. Great play park for children at the bottom of the hill. Paid parking, more near the harbour.
Bird watching at the local nature reserve. Recommend staying at the Flackley Ash hotel nearby.
Avoid Hastings and St. Leonard's they are ghastly, in need of regeneration. Camber Sands is okay, as is St. Mary's bay, although loos are basic.

This is an amazing little B&B with fantastic hosts where nothing is to much trouble. The breakfast was first rate, absolutely fantastic. Great room, lovely facilities, spotlessly clean and the shower was hot and nice and big. I do not have anything but praise for the place and would highly recommend.

A walk around the town of Rye is a must to see all the old buildings and shops.
There are quite a number of restaurants in Rye to choose from. Some of the 'owners' or managers need a course in customer service....Called into one to check his menu and when we said we were just looking he was not so helpful after we said we are just looking for a place for tonight....
However, we stopped into a small cafe for lunch and had great potato soup, which was excellent on a cold day.
Absolutely phenomenal location, room and cleanliness. The decor was gorgeous. Check in and Check out are very easy. Lovely and comfortable rooms and beds. The breakfast is any dish from their brunch menu, it was absolutely delicious, I was really fond of it. The room are spacious, the showers are clean. Everyone is really nice and accommodating.
Fantastic coffee for your breakfast, to me it meant a lot to have good quality coffee. Would absolutely stay here again if visiting Rye. Great location, 5 min from train station.
The hotel is super cute and quaint - just the perfect little place to stay to match the whole vibe of Rye. The rooms are exactly as they appear on the photos. I stayed in crumpet on the top floor which was spacious and clean. The cafe downstairs is lovely, having breakfast included with the room was a particularly nice touch and the breakfast options were impressive! Staff were lovely and I was able to check in slightly earlier which was super handy. Would definitely recommend the hotel to a friend.
If you like old world beamed ceiling, wonky walls, odd nooks and crannies, roaring log fires in ye olde England style this hotel is utterly charming. The location is fabulous; so quiet. We had the windows open at night as there’s no traffic and nobody chatting loudly in the street. Rye is a very pretty town to wander with some great restaurants and pubs. Its located close to a nature reserve and sea walks, Camber Sands and Dungeness for day trips. The staff are very helpful and extremely pleasant.
Very delicious breakfast served in such a relaxing atmosphere by staff that make you feel very relaxed and welcome. The gallivant isn’t a normal hotel it’s far from it. I’ve never felt so welcome and so relaxed which is all down to the incredibly welcoming and friendly staff which make you feel like you are at a very special place. This is the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at. Thank you to all the staff at the gallivant
Lovely spacious room - we were given a disabled room. Some noise from the street but nothing too bad - we wore hearing aids.
Lovely ambience and beautiful courtyard. Breakfast was amazing. A particular mention to Anna at breakfast - welcomed by a lovely smile and she was so happy always makes everybody else happy. Hotel very clean and very central - the George is the hub of Rye.
Large clean flat conveniently located on the high street. Nicely renovated, comfortable, and accommodating all in a wonderful location. Full kitchen facilities, lounge area, and separate bedroom. There was even an iMac to use, which was convenient and not something that was expected. I would love to stay here again upon my next visit to Rye.
Location on Mermaid Street is perfect; nearby pubs offer excellent dinner (The Standard) and historic interior design (Rye Inn);
Renovation of a historic building (parts from 16th century) done perfectly;
separate parking space nearby was close by and a perfect option for a hotel in the historic district of Rye
A difference is occurring here under Di's leadership and it shows. Rooms and general feel was that the hotel was cleaner and tidier. Big thing for me is the parking and that its a 5 minute walk into Rye centre. Its still a basic level hotel but one that is on the up i would say.
The hotel is good and the spa is great. But I wasn’t happy with the food it’s ment to be a fine dinning gorgous restaurant and to be honest the food was abit rubbish no way worth the money. At all. I wouldn’t eat there again. Defiantly not worth the £144 for two peaople.
Very good food, extremely friendly and helpful staff. Historic Grade 2 Listed Property with all the character in a great location and within easy walking distance to the historic Rye town centre. Very attractive period properties adjacent to the hotel.
We really enjoyed the history of the building itself and the town of Rye in general. We made use
of the self-guided historical tour map of Rye that the hotel provided.
The breakfasts were wonderful and the staff friendly.
Our boutique room was spacious and well presented with good facilities including a coffee machine that was spot on.
The hotel is a lovely old converted building in the heart of Rye with a great Bistro downstairs.
Lovely little cottage in the center of Rye. as pictured, modern, very clean, lovely decor and feels brand new. Location is perfect, next to train station and over night car park and a few minutes walk into Rye.
Staff very helpful and pleasant and engaging therefore my friend and I felt very relaxed during our stay. Plenty of breakfast options with fresh ingredients. Excellent views from the hotel
Lovely small hotel in a central location for trips to Rye,Dungeness,Tenterden & Great Dixter Gardens.
Easy to find,good parking & clean fresh rooms.
The staff were happy to help.
Very nice hotel, fantastic swimming pool indoors, nice breakfast, nice atmosphere. Good parking facilities. Conveniently close to Rye but still out in the country.
