Great location, right in the heart of the town. Wonderful character and charmingly restored with style and empathy for such a historic building.

Bathroom sink did not hold water. Forgot to tell Brenda that the plug needs an o ring !!

Did not have breakfast. Brenda was an excellent hostess.

Perfect location, lovely facilities and Brenda was extremely helpful in all her communications even offering to put up banners and balloons.

Ok so I banged my head - welcome to old houses! I didn’t bang it after I had learnt my lesson! Adds to the charm!

Location, ease of check-in (Brenda was wonderful!), quirkiness of the building (don’t expect straight walls or floors!), Brenda had really thought of everything in the room (coffee, tea, various accompaniments, water glasses etc)

Those who find stairs difficult, or anyone more than about 6ft/1.8m tall, may find access to the room that we stayed in (at the top of the property) requires some care.

The (continental) breakfast is of a very high quality, and excellent value for money. Our host (Brenda) was very friendly, helpful and attentive. We could not have asked for a more relaxing stay.

The Tea House is beautifully designed, it's got that old building charm but is charmingly quaint and rustic. The rooms themselves are beautiful and very comfortable, this was our second visit to the Tea House and we would definitely visit again.

Beautifully decorated. Clean. Little touches. Brenda excellent hostess at hand for anything needed. Location in heart of old town but not noisy. Large comfortable bed. Very reasonable 24 hour parking 5 minutes walk away.

Location was excellent, really central and easy to get to the rest of the town. We had a lovely welcome from the proprietor when checking in, and our room was comfortable, clean, quiet and airy.

It was a great location and it was such a beautiful room and stay

Not a complaint, but worth noting is that there is no parking on site and the public parking can get quite expensive, or very busy (i.e. full) in the more reasonably priced car park in the Market Square and it's a good stiff walk uphill back to the property! Property is definitely not suitable for small children or those with mobility issues. Would have liked a refresh of the coffee making facilities after the first night.

Fantastic property in a great location in the heart of Old Rye. The property was beautifully presented and spotlessly clean. Additionally, Brenda was a great host, constantly checking in that things were all good. Although there is no full English breakfast, what is offered was really delicious, with quality fresh ingredients sourced locally that really set you up for the day ahead.

Charming old house. We stayed in the suite, with plenty of space and the room was very clean. I can really recommend this place. The location is perfect, points of interest are in walking distance.

Brenda was a fabulous host, who greeted us with a glass of wine when we arrived at the end of a long journey. She ensured we had plenty of supplies such as tea and towels. She was helpful with recommendations of things to do and places to go, and chatted to us when we saw her around the town. The house is beautiful with a very central location and has many original and quirky features, it is full of character and history. We had a large en suite room that we very much enjoyed.

The sweetest place one could ever imagine. Like being set hundreds of years back in time but with the comfort of 2024. Absolutely loved it! And Brenda is the most caring and lovely host!

It was a lovely, quaint, perfectly renovated tea house in an ideal location. Brenda was so friendly and helpful and has very high standards. Bedroom and shower room were gorgeous. Couldn’t fault it.

Honesty there really is nothing that needs to be changed. This is more a personal preference, but we both found the mattress in the bed very soft, If that´s what you like then you will be happy, but for us it was a little uncomfortable for 2 nights.

Brenda was a fantastic host; warm, welcoming and friendly. The property and room were beautiful, an adorable tea house and the location could not be more central. Brenda includes lots of nice extra touches such as a tea / coffee (and chocolates / biscuits) in the room, and a glass of wine to welcome you to the property, the bathroom is also kitted out with everything you will need. We would stay here again without doubt!

Nothing we didn’t like. However, if you are very tall the property may be difficult for you as the ceilings are low and there are several beams to duck and avoid but that is part of the character. It would be nice to have an option of something hot at breakfast perhaps such as eggs.

Brenda was a wonderful host and the property is a gorgeous 500 year old gem. It is in a brilliant location right in the centre of Rye and very charming. Brenda was attentive and the continental breakfast had plenty to choose from.

Amazingly quaint little house. We loved our room, very comfortable and has all you need. Excellent location!

The Tea House is beautifully decorated and the house is so quaint. Beds are incredibly comfortable and great shower. The location was perfect, right in the middle of Rye. Breakfast was delicious. Brenda was so kind and looked after us very well on my mum's 60th birthday.

I wouldn’t say there was anything I didn’t like about it but the pillows could have been more comfortable, they were a little too big for us. My boyfriend found the mattress uncomfortable but I found it comfortable so I think that’s possibly different for everyone. I would have liked breakfast for the price we paid so perhaps that could be considered.

The property was lovely! Low beams and beautifully decorated. It was just like being in wonderland. Perfect location. There were really thoughtful extras like the toiletries in the bathroom cabinet and the tea tray was well stocked as well as sweets by the bed. Brenda was very helpful and kind

This is a beautiful house in the best location you could ask for. The room was so clean and beautifully decorated. The room had everything we needed and we couldn't have asked for a better host. We loved staying here and will definitely be back.

Lovely stay in the perfect location to explore Rye. The house is full of character and spotlessly clean. The owner was also friendly and gave great recommendations for eating out.

My only comment would be that it might not be good for any one particularly large or tall as the house is if it’s time and the room we were in is quite snug and it could get a bit claustrophobic particularly in the summer.

Lovely old building beautifully kept.
