Winchelsea Church of St Thomas a Becket Hotels

"Hotel is very jaded and in need of significant refurbishment but that said, it was clean and comfortable. Staff were brilliant and the breakfast, cooked to order was excellent. It’s a very short walk to the centre of Rye and its position gives a great view of the Channel estuary. Good value for money reflected the overall need for modernisation. "

"The staff were lovely and the food was great. We were upgraded to a superior room, which was wonderful and clean but the room was far too hot because it was next to the main working fireplace of the hotel. We had to have the window open the whole time to cool down, (but didn’t make too much difference in temperature) and then smoke from the chimney came into the room."

"A pleasant enough stay unfortunately the bar area closed at 8pm so we had to go out for a drink. I are there and did not really enjoy my chicken roast, which is unusual as it is one of my favourite meals. The worst thing was possibly the parking they advertise self parking which is in fact street parking. On a Sunday afternoon in this busy part of town there was no spaces to be found the car par.ks were full and no spaces on the streets at all"

"Convenient parking at rear of the hotel via Ringo app. Staff friendly and excellent breakfast."

"Absolutely gorgeous house, immaculately clean and well equipped with thoughtful extras. Hot tub was fabulous as was everything really. Would highly recommend"

"Staff went over and above to be helpful. Hotel was very old and quirky. Lots of character and charm. The broken radiator in my room was sorted out successfully. The toilet in the room did not flush terribly well and the shower low pressure. Lovely lounges to sit in and the restaurant was very attractive. We had a good breakfast."

"Very convenient location to rye town. Hotel was clean, staff were great…. Very friendly and helpful. Room was light and airy with comfy twin beds and plenty of tea, coffee, etc. Large on site free parking. Very good breakfast. We didn’t have a drink at the bar so can’t comment but it looked like it’d be well stocked."

"Perfect get-away break. Would have appreciated notice of the road closures on arrival day which resulted in parking the car half a mile away and walking in with the cases. Appreciate that was a one-off but not a great start to the break. Accomodation excellent."

"This property is every bit as good as it looks in the pictures and we loved staying here, it was to a high standard all round, very cosy and had everything we needed. As an alternative to Rye, Winchelsea is an excellent alternative if not better option as it’s much more like a tranquil village than a town. As long as you check the opening times the pub, shop and tea room have all you need. The property is located on a short lane but parking on the road at one end was no problem and very close. We would definitely stay here again if we are in the area."
