Very acceptable stay at The Ship

Very happy with our stay at The Ship. Our room Skye Chardonnay was very comfortable. Our little dog was made very welcome with a gift box of treats a toy and poo bags of course! The Housekeeping staff were very good.

Love The Ship!

Always have a lovely time at the Ship. Have stayed many times. Food particularly good this time.
Debbie, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Rooms are well-appointed, very clean and have tea and coffee-making facilities. Due to the age of the building it is not air conditioned so can get hot on a warm night, although the hotel supplies fans.
Diana, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Wonderful place to stay

A lovely place to stay if you are visiting Rye. It’s in a great spot with good food and very helpful, friendly staff. Couldn’t fault it at all and would definitely return.

Will stay again!

Lovely feel to the place with excellent food and drink served and very nice staff. Centrally located and in easy walking distance to most things. Exceptional value for money.
Thomas, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Great Dog-Friendly Break

we had a fantastic break at a reasonable price too. Lovely staff, very good breakfast, gorgeous, well equipped and comfortable room and beautiful decor throughout the inn. Dog welcome in rooms for a reasonable supplement (with extras provided for it too: bowl and welcome kit) and in the pub. Will come back!

Comfortable warm room, tv, coffee, tea making facilities in room. Really comfy bed, staff could not do enough. Will return. Bed & breakfast at a moderate price. Beats travel lodge hands down.

8/10 Very good

Likes: Conveniently located to high street. Staff were most pleasent. Nice bar/pub. Dislikes: Room could do with a chair. No on site parking at the Ship Inn itself, but near by public car parks.

8/10 Very good

Perfect location next to castle and looking out over the water. Management moved cars to provide parking space.
Ronald, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very comfortable and great value.

Beautiful old Inn in a perfect location for exploring historic Rye. Very comfortable room. Comfortable bed, fluffy pillows and luxury touches such as quality toiletries, Nespresso machine with quality coffee pods and selection of up market teas. Delicious breakfast included. Great value for money for this area. We would certainly stay here again. Very nice food and great drinks selection including good cask ales. Cheap car parking not far away as well as Rye Station 5 minutes walk away.
Paul, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Quaint but

The inn is quaint and the room has its charms, but like many old inns there is no air conditioning. When we stayed in early August, the evening outside was cool and pleasant, but the room was very warm. Even with an open window and fan, it was hard to sleep.
1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very spacious and comfortable room. Good choice of tasty breakfasts. Customer service needs improvement, e.g. when I politely asked a member of staff to remove Christmas decorations from a staircase handrail, explaining that I needed to use the handrail because of poor eyesight, a day later (when we departed), this had not been actioned.
Anja, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Rooms were extremely hot due to the weather. We were supplied a fan which helped, but if they had a small A/C unit it would have been a more enjoyable stay. Downside was the kitchen ran out of food at 8.30pm so we had to seek dinner elsewhere.
Ian, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Rooms were okay however they smelled like a fried food all the time and the room had a musty smell. Wouldn’t stay if staying for more than a night. Fire alarm also randomly started going off at 1am and all of us had to be evacuated and there was no reason fire hazard apparently.

Conveniently located at the foot of Mermaid Street, the street you are coming to Rye for if you are a tourist, the Ship Inn is a great place to stay when visiting this charming old town. We had a wonderful Family room with two bedrooms and a beautiful bathroom. Staff was friendly and we felt very comfortable.They have a lovely dinner menu, and if you are staying for a longer time, there is a little Italian restaurant right next door for variety and another dining option. The only quirk is that if you are driving, you have to park in the park and display next to the hotel. It's free overnight. So you need to pay again in the morning or there is an option to purchase parking for the next day. A minor hassle for such a nice place to stay , though.

Good hotel in lovely Rye

Breakfast was amazing, but hotels.cool didn’t give the option of having it included (despite the hotel telling me that they did offer this - for a very reduced rate). Breakfast for 2 came to £40, but would’ve been half that if pre-booked. Shame it wasn’t an option offered to me. Dinner was exceptional, but portion sizes a little smaller than the price suggested, but the quality was great and the food was tasty. The lamb was brilliant, but I should’ve added sides. My room was nice but at 6ft 1 the low beams and uneven floors made it difficult to move around, and made the room feel even smaller than it was. My friend stayed in a different room, and this was lovely and spacious with no awkward low beams.
