The attention to detail extends to the breakfast, a highlight prepared with care, and the intuitive honesty bar adds a touch of civilised ease to an evening. It's a place where the building's character and the staff's genuine warmth create a deeply comfortable and engaging stay right in the heart of Rye.”
