Flawless. We loved our stay at The Ship Inn and I strongly recommend it for any stay in Rye. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of town. The pub is beautiful and historic and the room itself modern and faultlessly clean. Some little details I really appreciated: tea and coffee and kettle in the room (with oat milk sachets!), a deep bath, tv, desk fan and a very comfy, spacious bed. 10/10

Patricia

Disliked: Cleanliness
I wish I had liked this inn more. When my train was delayed by a few hours, they willingly accommodated a late check-in. However, I was disappointed by the room. First, there is mildew in the shower. Second, they left the service door next to my room open to facilitate housekeeping, but that meant that all the cooking smells from the kitchen below entered my room. Because the windows can’t be opened more than a few inches, there was no way to air the room. I had to clean the fan before I could use it since it was furry with dust. I loved Rye, but not this inn.

I really enjoyed my stay here - beautiful rooms, a great location and it’s a small detail but I really loved the fact that they had small oat milk options with the tea and coffee in the room. Would definitely stay here again.

Greeted by a very helpful Nicole, who also took dinner order and dealt with dietary requirements. Rooms modern and clean. You have to pay to park but car park is very close. Location very close to the town centre.

Everything is great, walking distance to everything. Parking not super easy given the limited spaces available around the property, and you have to pay for it - around 8 pounds a day.
