Good hotel in lovely Rye
Breakfast was amazing, but hotels.cool didn’t give the option of having it included (despite the hotel telling me that they did offer this - for a very reduced rate). Breakfast for 2 came to £40, but would’ve been half that if pre-booked. Shame it wasn’t an option offered to me. Dinner was exceptional, but portion sizes a little smaller than the price suggested, but the quality was great and the food was tasty. The lamb was brilliant, but I should’ve added sides. My room was nice but at 6ft 1 the low beams and uneven floors made it difficult to move around, and made the room feel even smaller than it was. My friend stayed in a different room, and this was lovely and spacious with no awkward low beams.

We had a couple comfortable nights stay at The Ship Inn. The room was very spacious and clean. The bed was a little too soft for us, but that's just our own personal preference. Food in the restaurant was amazing with friendly staff and prompt customer service.

We enjoyed staying at The Ship as it was not far to walk to train station and hosted several performances as part of the Rye Jazz & Blues Festival. We dropped our luggage off to check other gig locations and returned for lunch. Their Sunday Roast was delicious, accompanied with Yorkshire Puddings, roast veg and gravy and a good chpice of locally produced wines and beer. The staff were friendly, knowledgable and efficient and I'd definitely stay there again.

Quaint but
The inn is quaint and the room has its charms, but like many old inns there is no air conditioning. When we stayed in early August, the evening outside was cool and pleasant, but the room was very warm. Even with an open window and fan, it was hard to sleep.

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
I recently stayed at the ship inn and my experience was far from satisfactory. Firstly, the room was extremely stifling, making it uncomfortable to stay in. There was no adequate ventilation or air conditioning to alleviate the heat, which significantly affected my overall comfort. Additionally, the hotel charged £19 for breakfast, which was an absolute disappointment. The quality of the food was subpar, and the croissant, in particular, was disgraceful. For the price, I expected much better. Overall, I would not recommend staying at this hotel due to the uncomfortable room conditions and the poor quality of the breakfast. There are certainly better options available for the price. Feel free to modify any part of this review to better suit your experience or add any additional details you think are important.
