The Ship Inn

Lovely hotel, restaurant, bar, in an excellent location for shopping etc in Rye. Very good value for money. There is no free car parking but the pay & display/RINGO is immediately next door and less than a tenner a day. We can highly recommend this hotel.

My initial impression wasn’t great. The hotel part was really in need of a good lick of paint and a new carpet. That said, it is a very old building so some allowances should be made. The bed in the room was very comfortable with fresh white linen and fluffy pillows. The bathroom was tiny but modern and clean. The staff was nice and very welcoming of my little dog. The bar is stylishly decorated in keeping with its age but with a modern edge. As a solo traveller I didn’t fancy staying up late in the bar and found the staff were very accommodating when I asked to take a glass of wine to my room. I was then able to relax on the bed and watch the massive TV (England v Croatia FIFA World Cup). I was given a key to the main door which was great for late night and early morning dog wees. Breakfast was delicious (Eggs Royale)

Bar closed early - even to residents! Staff were very friendly - room was great although decoratively a little tired - breakfast was good - only one cup of coffee or tea offered, would be better with a pot of tea or coffee. Generally a good place to stay

Lovely room with everything you needed, including a fan which was a nice extra. Staff were very friendly and the breakfast was delicious ! There was a car park literally next door which you can pay by app so just top up the time when needed.
