Lodging in Rye, East Sussex

“We met family for dinner and stayed the night. Dinner: friendly staff, good choice of ales, and table in the comfortable main bar. The food was excellent and - given its high quality - very reasonably priced. Local ingredients, well cooked and presented. The steak and ale pie was excellent! The room was smaller than expected (great photography!) and as advertised, sloping and olde worlde! All the basics were clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good.”

“So happy to have stopped here for a late brunch. The service was phenomenal, and the cafe serves a delicious mocha and a wide range of vegetarian friendly dishes. Everything we ordered was top notch, and we loved how dog-friendly this place was!”

“The best service and comfortable accommodation! We received a friendly welcome, room was clean and comfortable and the breakfast was tremendous. There is a bar which is really quaint and some amazing views over Rye.”

“This is a stunning hotel located in central Rye with parking. Inside it is quirky, historical and well kept within character. I was going to deduct one star for service as we had a very condescending receptionist who did not make us feel very welcome on arrival (the other receptionist was lovely) BUT all of the other staff were friendly efficient and very helpful so left as five stars. Our room was clean and a great character room, perhaps a shower curtain would have been useful to stop water on the floor but lovely to have tea tray and water supplied. We ate bar food here which was OK but did not use the restaurant as the menu did not suit our tastes and was expensive. Overall yes we would definitely go there again.”

“Firstly what makes this hotel is the amazing attentive staff!! The hotel only has 20 rooms so its cosy and feels homely. The rooms aren’t huge but have everything needed for a short stay also are very clean. Location is perfect 10 min walk to camber sands beautiful beach. Food was fresh and tasty - we were in the essential package which is half board with some lovely extras. Have to say a big thank you to Crystal, a lovely welcome on arrival, Kate, Louisa, Cihat who looked after us during meals so patient! And manager Lindsay who has a big welcoming personality. My husband and I will definitely return. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable!”

“3 times a year we stay in Camber. The Owl is consistently good service and quality food. It's quite expensive for the area, but don't mind paying for quality. In the summer months, or more than 4 anytime, I would recommend booking in advance. Will return next year.Walkability: Off coast road, close to the extensive Camber beach, therefore handy for apre beach walks/sunbathing.Food & drinks: Good selection of ales.Noteworthy details: The beach is extensive, where the tide goes out seemingly to the horizon.”

“The rooms are really nice and the staff is friendly and cooperative. We had breakfast in the restaurant and the service was also very nice. I would highly recommend everyone to stay here if they are visiting Rye.”
