    Our room was slightly cramped by the bed due to it being in the loft but a great room none the less. It would have been much better value for money to have had breakfast included.

    Gorgeous property in the centre of Rye! Brenda was a lovely host! Brenda was super helpful :) Our bed was comfy and we were stocked up with goodies which were very appreciated. Gorgeous communal space too but we didn’t use it

    At its price point, breakfast should have been included with the room. And at £20 per person, breakfast is outrageously priced. Also, rooms need more lighting. And bathrooms should have had a set of the toiletries in minis instead of an assortment of half used lotions and potions.

    A small, medieval bnb that’s big on charm. It’s been restored keeping its history in mind. Comfortable bedrooms with character. Modern bathrooms.Super location. Liked the little touches like the complimentary Prosecco and chocolates!

    The place is a lovely old cottage in the middle of the old town of Rye, located in between atmospheric pubs, delightful restaurants and several little shops that sell either eye-watering collections of antiques or carefully assembled selections of various food and gifting items. During your stay you will be looked after by the wonderful Brenda who makes sure you have the perfect leisure experience: Lots of attention to detail, various coffees and teas and a few treats during your stay plus - if you book it - a tasty and healthy breakfast for all the cereal, fruit and pastry lovers.

    Only fairly busy centre street so early morning noise from pubs emptying bottles and refilling kegs. Street cleaners and vehicles. If you like quiet then stay cobbled streets or out of town. Great host, dog and amenities made up for it but v tired .

    Lovely room, ok shower, great linen, great extras, Prosecco, biscuits etc. period building, tastefully decorated. Good TV.

    Nothing really, totally enjoyed our stay. We did hear a bit of noise in the room next door but in fairness the young guy in there was quite loud!

    What a very lovely stay. Our room was very comfy and well presented, clean, comfortable, a little bit of luxury. The shared lounge downstairs was full of character, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. And the hostess (Brenda?) could not have been more helpful and attentive, breakfast was of a high standard. Just a lovely place to stay in Rye.

    A very minor point is that we would have liked a rubbish basket in the bedroom.

    We loved staying in a very old house dating back centuries with original wooden beams. The house has character, taste and comfort. We loved the décor of the bedroom. Brenda had added many small but much appreciated touches to make our stay enjoyable. The very large bed was extremely comfortable with just the right softness and luxurious linen. In the bathroom cabinet we found a treasure trove of toiletries. Brenda was welcoming and considerate. The location was excellent for exploring the town and finding restaurants.
