We decided to go to Rye for the bank holiday weekend & didn't book before we went. Big mistake! The tourist information office told us that every guesthouse, B & B & hotel was booked except for Tower House. After arriving at Tower House it was plain to see why the guest house was empty. As soon as we stepped... More

I have stayed in Rye many times, but I was not prepared for what I experienced on staying at this £90 a night guest house. Externally I was in awe of the amazing house and gardens but unfortunately the inside of the guest house house did not live up to my expectations. Example being months worth of dust that had... More

Mum and I stayed here for one night. Location great. House really interesting with a very grand dining room and a huge snooker room which is the original 14th century farmhouse,. It was a gentlemens' club for some time. The owner is pleasant and straightforward, showing us around and giving us keys with minimal fuss. She worked out a way... More

You are either going to love this place or hate it. The lady who runs it is charming and helpful: the house itself has an interesting history and is in an excellent location for the town itself and the garden is a real bonus. A great touch is the honesty bar next to the snooker table, which is brilliant late... More

If you are looking for an overpriced place to stay with no proper facilities and out of date items such as coffee sachets (by three years!).. then this is your place to stay. We only ended up staying as there were no other available places in the town and it was getting late. We were shown into a very dated... More

The Dormy is a lovely old house near the centre of Rye with a large garden (which you can go in), and the owner is very welcoming. We had a pleasant room with a patchwork quilt and William Morris fabric covered armchair at the top of the house, with a large ensuite bathroom. The room was in a separate wing... More

We looked for last minute accommodation in Rye and could not find anything due to the number of people going to Rye for the medieval festival. Some friend of ours found the details on a website and had two double rooms available so we booked it. After a long drive from London we were expecting it to be basic as... More
