Ok as a base for a single.

The single room (9) was a little small but ok to use as a base. Could do with a little tlc to be honest. If you are a late riser, you may get some noise from the street right next to the bed.

Cosy B&B with friendly and welcoming staff

Great B&B with a nice location in the middle of Rye. Nice restaurants within walking distance and easy to find a parking place even if B&B does not offer such. Room was a bit tiny but nicely decorated and with comfortable beds. Breakfast was very nice and staff was very friendly.

This is a cute place, in the middle of Rye, staff were nice, bed was comfortable, but there was a strong damp smell in the hallway and sewage smell in our toilet. The shower tiles were mouldy in the grout and the shower drain full of hair and soap scum.
