What a super pub/hotel. We booked one night only fearing lack of entertainment in the area , but totally wrong and wished we had stayed 2 nights. Rye has loads to offer in way of different individual shops. The venues to eat are enormous..around every corner something for everyone. The rooms are unique and sufficiently up to date as much as possible bearing in mind the age of the surroundings. Wow the breakfast ! Fantastic let me tell you.
