Great place to stay! I was there last weekend. I was looking with my girlfriend for something a bit…read moreremote, not a touristy place like Brighton, and we couldn't dream of a better place to stay. Great service, very helpful, charming owners, and lovely breakfast. Very clean, nice and quite place. Short drive from a sea side, very nice pub short walk from there with a great food . Enjoyed the stay immensely and the only thing I regret is not being able to stay longer... Oh, and one more thing - absolutely fantastic home-made muffins we got with a breakfast - baked in the morning, still warm when we came down ! If I'm going to be in that part of England I will stay there again. More than sure.

It turned out to be just what I had hoped to find, charmingly unpretentious, run by a warm and friendly couple of guys who were helpful in every way, from picking me up at the train station to helping me work out transportation to and from the performances and for my travel back (I decided to stay on 2 days after the operas, to get in a bit of local sightseeing and they were helpful there too) . The food was simple and tasty, and they made an effort to please individual tastes and needs. The room was simple and comfortable, with a charming view from the window of the downs, and the bed just great. No great chandeliers and snootiness, just friendliness, helpfulness and calm, exactly what I was looking for. I certainly will go back if my good fortune takes me back to that part of the world

George in Rye is just amazing! the staff is very wonderful and very accommodating towards their guests. The restaurant is amazing as well, everything we had for dinner and breakfast was so good!

I want to come back to Rye just to stay at the George in Rye! and maybe to see more of the town... If you're going to Rye, book a room at the George in Rye, you will NOT be disappointed!

We were keeping our expectations moderate for The George. We'd heard only that the town of Rye was…read morevery cute, or if not that, quaint. Cute and quaint are all well and good but they call to mind slightly dusty hotel rooms stocked with ceramic angels and starving artist landscapes. Luckily for us, there wasn't a ceramic angel to be seen at The George. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that The George is as well-appointed and modern as any hotel my partner and I have ever stayed at anywhere in the world. Our room was spacious (almost ludicrously so, given the compactness of the town) and smartly decorated. The bathroom sports a beaten tin bathtub large enough to wash up a horse, and the shower is a walk-in with a powerful flow rate. The room has facilities for tea and a cafetiere, and the friendly staff will top up either if you're a prodigious drinker. My only quibble with The George is that the food in the restaurant isn't up to the standard of the hotel itself -- but Rye is so tiny that there's no reason why you can't stay at the George and walk down to the excellent Ship Inn or the local chippie for dinner.

I was a solo traveller and stayed at the Gyves House for 1 night.

I will definitely check the Gyves House first for availability when I next pay a visit to Eastbourne and recommend it to anyone who wants a more personal stay in Eastbourne.

Used a lot by bus parties but individual guests not overlooked at all and looked after just the same. Rooms fair and reasonably comfortable but somewhat small.

After a disastrous attempt that resulted in a failed trip to Stockholm, we decided to run away to a…read morefind a nice spa and try to revive our weekend. We picked The Spa Hotel in Tunbridge Wells at it had availability and seemed to meet what we were looking for. We enjoyed the afternoon using the facilities such as the pool and steam rooms. The hotel bar was nice and we had a very enjoyable lunch. I enjoyed a De Stressed massage, which left me exceptionally relaxed. The massage really set me off on a good note and I was looking forward to the rest of the stay. However, this is really were the good things about our stay ended. The room we got, which was booked as a double premium suite was no where near what we would have expected for the rate we paid. The room was in the eaves and quite a bit cramped. As I am more so on the taller side, this was clearly going to lead to a few head bumps. Fortunately, those we amazingly avoided. That left us with the evening ahead. Unimpressed by the restaurants menu and high price, we set out down the road for the Pantiles and found a great couple of places. After returning and settling down for the evening, things really turned for worse. The air conditioner made noises every 30 minutes or so when it wasn't on that would wake you up. The bed was exceptionally small and only fit two people if one lay sideways. The ability to properly sleep in these conditions was just unachievable. After a very rough night and lack of sleep, the relaxing feeling that I had was long gone and replaced with extreme tiredness and plenty of soreness. We are exceptionally disappointed with what can only be referred to a terrible stay. This hotel really had the opportunity to be top notch, but it severely missed the target. Don't think we would likely stay here again.

I live too close to ever need to stay there but otherwise this is an absolute asset to TW.

Attention to detail is VERY lacking, but the setting is a delight…read more I love The Boship. It's a 5 minute drive from my parent's home and we pop in regularly. It always had a Fawlty Towers vibe. It was never slick. But the food was great and the atmosphere was so relaxed. We'd often have the entire dining room to ourselves. Not good for the owners, be we liked the peacefulness. And, best of all, they welcome pets. The hotel recently changed hands, and the surprisingly extensive grounds have been replanted and dotted with garden furniture and large ornaments. There is a regimented forest of Ash trees and a pool and a peacock and two lakes with row boats and a kitsch swan pedal-oh and several gazebos.. We went there last weekend for afternoon tea to celebrate my Mother's birthday. We had booked for 6 but had a last minute change to 8. We arrived to a warm welcome and wandered about in the gardens. There was no one about. None of the tables that had been used had been cleared. It all looked rather abandoned. Eventually a waiter appeared and said 'How many of you are there?' We said hello and did a head count for him. 'Eight'. We were in the doorway to the garden by the entrance to the pool. 'You wanna sit here?' he blurted out, gesturing to the nearest table. There was a paper Starbucks coffee cup left on it. 'No thank you. We'd like two tables put together further in the garden please'. He turned and left without a word and sometime later emerged with a colleague and laid two tables for us. We asked for tea, finger sandwiches and scones with proper fresh cream and jam. What arrived was very plain big triangle sandwiches, with no garnish. Just tuna, turkey and cheese and processed ham pitted with air bubbles on supermarket bread. The scones were mean little bullet-like supermarket ones and the cream was dazzlingly brilliant white and sugar-sweet and foam-like. Two small pots of tea were brought out with 3 tea bags in each. There is so much amazing produce available in that area. They could have put together an amazing cream tea and charged a few quid more if need be (ours was £9.90 a head). They could set up tables dotted around the grounds. If felt like they were just doing the bare minimum to maximise profits. I had instantly realised that they had brought out tea and food for 6 people, not 8. The 12 scones were a clear indication I was correct. But as the quality was so lacking, we counted this as a blessing. The tea ran out after one and a half cups each. I went to find a waiter to ask for either some hot water or just more fresh pots. No one was in sight. I asked at reception and was told 'This is reception. I don't serve tea. You need a waiter'. Indeed. I headed into the bar and asked for more tea. Then, later, the girl on reception left here computer and came and served us the tea. Such a contradiction. Then I went to pay before my father jumped in. It seemed very expensive. They hadn't allowed for a deposit that had been placed and had charged us for 8 people. They had also charged us full price for the second round of tea. After some debating, the waiter went to the kitchen to confirm how many people they had catered for. It had been 6, because luckily no one thought to convey the change of booking to the kitchen. They deducted two lots of £9.90, but refused to deduct the £20 for the second round of tea. But all in all, we had a delightful afternoon. We could have stayed until nightfall. They never hurry or rush you away. We wandered the grounds. Walked our dog. Played on the swings and climbing frame (my niece) and sat by the lake and chatted and took photos. The setting is really beautiful, and in a few years, when the new planting has been given a chance to get established and grown in, it will be even more charming. However, I very much doubt I'll be back to see it. Note to owner, Afternoon tea should come with limitless pots of tea, especially when your house blend is PG Tips.
