The Lookout Rye is in the center of the historical town of Rye, high on the East Cliff with views across the river. It has free Wi-Fi and paid parking.

We stayed in the Deluxe Suite which has amazing interieur, an incredibly spacious and luxurious bathroom and a fantastic view from the bay window. The well-maintained building blends perfectly in its surroundings on the cliff road. It is also a perfect starting point for walks through the town. Very friendly and helpful personnel.

Offering characterful accommodations centered around 2 East Sussex oast houses, Playden Oasts Hotel is just 1 mile from the center of Rye.

This was such a fantastic place to stay. When we got in, everyone was expecting us. The staff could not have been lovelier! Everyone introduced themselves and made sure we were all booked in to eat dinner and knew about breakfast. We were taken up to our room, where they had turned the heat on in advance for us so we would be toasty when we got there as it was a cold and rainy night. The room was excellent, everything was clean and tidy and just so homey and comfy. We had dinner in the restaurant and it was lovely and candlelit-and I really appreciated that they had vegetarian and vegan options. It's just a wonderfully historic and quirky place to stay that's being well maintained by people who love it- and we loved it too! It's my new favourite place and we are definitely planning another trip!

    Lovely ancient town full of character and charm, many historic buildings, few cobbled streets, lots of independent cafes and shops. Rye is relatively small and can probably be done in a day, but there are many nearby places to visit, such as Rye Nature reserve and Camber Sands. Lots of good pubs in Rye.

    Very quaint town.

    Very quaint town. Lots of cobbled streets full of independent shops, many tea rooms and places to eat and drink. We loved it even in the pouring rain ! The car parks are situated near the station for long term parking.

    Rye has an eclectic mix of shops and restaurants and many historic venues. Parking is an issue so look up car parking locations before driving there. Be sure to look up Kino cinema even if you don’t want to watch a movie. It has a good cafe. We saw 2 films and the intimate cinemas are very comfortable and clean.

    Quirky town, lovely cobbled streets and buildings were traditional and modern. Lots of independent shops interesting to look round. Loved the views from the Church and the Ypres Tower. Rye Harbour and Nature Reserve were also worth a visit. Lots of eateries of all sorts

    Pretty place with lots of cafes and pubs.

    Pretty place with lots of cafes and pubs. You can walk around it in a hour but take a weekend to get to know all it's knocks and crannies and history. Can get quite touristy in the afternoon at weekends so plan your visits to avoid this.

    Rye is a historic town with very little new build.

    Rye is a historic town with very little new build. Situated on a hill, some parts steep. No big name fast food outlets. And only one locally owned supermarket, expensive. Bus link to Rye Harbour is worth using. And the once an hour rail service will get you to Ashford, Hastings and Eastbourne fairly quickly. We went to the Grapevine Jazz and Champagne Bar which has live music. Quiet Mon/Tues/ Wed, but busy on the other days. The top of the church tower offers good views. There is a cat café near the Fishmarket area. Would recommend going to the Rye Heritage Centre on the first day in Rye to see the show that explains where the historic sites are in Rye using a model of the town. Lot of day tripper tourist coming and going by coaches. We went in the Simon The Pieman Teashop. The homemade pasty was ruined by being reheated in a microwave. The warm scones were fine as was the tea. There is a large market on Thursday morning, seems to pack up by about 1.30 p.m. Not all of the places of interest are open every day. Need to do some homework beforehand.

    Location: Handy with a car -- about a mile into town. Parking free at the hotel, and not expensive at cattle market lot, near the train station in Rye, and free after 7 PM at most other lots. Great-looking oast towers on the hotel, containing round stone rooms for reception & dining. Generous and tasty Full English Breakfast included. Room and bed were clean & comfortable, but with odd separate shower room. Not far from Great Dixter -- a lovely and unique house, garden, and nursery.

    Great location and views out of windows great . Friendly staff and good breakfast # Best of all we have stayed in just about all the hotels in Rye and this one is as good as the others but less expensive . Only downside is parking situation . Must move car by 9 am off street into paid parking . Thats now £2.50 per day and about 5 minutes walk away so no hardship but if one is disabled or elderly this may be an issue

    Lovely spacious room - we were given a disabled room. Some noise from the street but nothing too bad - we wore hearing aids. Lovely ambience and beautiful courtyard. Breakfast was amazing. A particular mention to Anna at breakfast - welcomed by a lovely smile and she was so happy always makes everybody else happy. Hotel very clean and very central - the George is the hub of Rye.

    A lovely medieval hotel in the centre of Rye, it really did feel like stepping back in time. Great location, quirky rooms and lovely terrace for a drink. The bar and restaurant team were fantastic and helped with a number of allergy requests really well. We stayed for dinner and the food was delicious.

    The hotel was in a superb location, ideal for visitors to Rye. The hotel was a bit quirky and quaint but had great facilities and room. Staff were great, friendly, helpful and welcoming. They even arranged an early breakfast because we had an early train to catch.
