Search hotels in Winchelsea

Detailed review already submitted. Manager response illogical, insulting and simply untrue on many points (he not in a position to know facts). Hardly unexpected given lack of service and staff rudeness during three different service interaction points. Lack of any staff dedicated to hotel side of business and grossly overworked food service staff only prepared to do anything with regard to accommodation if/when they decide they can manage - totally unacceptable when wrongly claiming to be 4 star when rating requirements mean can only be correctly 2 star.

The Gem is not in the village. A short car journey takes you to the beach, Winchelsea, Rye and the Nature reserve. Most of these could be walked to across fields or footpaths, but we aren't up to long walks. A great spot for walkers. We went into Rye for meals. The more local 'Ship' was closed. Covid restricted choices but Marino's fish and chips were the best I've tasted. We loved Winchelsea town, especially the church. A very special place with beautiful stained glass and a fascinating history. Beautiful individual old houses and stunning views with lots of promising walks. We also enjoyed our visit to the nature reserve on the marshes. The pebbled beaches were quiet and at low tide lots of sand and long walks and paddles, with country side on the opposite side of the road. Maybe it is just due to Covid, but Rye is asleep by 9pm.

Lots to do in surrounding areas for all age groups crazy golf in Hastings was good value for money and long opening times so you could avoid busy times Shopping centre had a good range of shops and cafes Lots of attractions to suit all tastes from arcades to museums Dom's Ice cream on the seafront was excellent value for money and funky banana flavour amazing

Very quiet little town perfect for relax and break from busy city. It is countryside with not many tourists attractions. In the middle of nowhere are castle ruins to see - long but very relaxing and enjoyable walk through the field full of sheeps. There is also beautiful (stone) beach - worth to see - perfect for a evening walks. We had a nice stay and would definitely recommend it.

It's a lovely historical 'large village', but we didn't have time to do it justice as our 1x night weekend was to enjoy the sights and culture of Rye. Winchelsea is very pretty, has its own museum and lovely pub + food. Good for walkers, better when it's not raining ! Also there is a beach, so all in all very varied lovely countryside with a fair bit to discover. Would like to visit again and sample its full potential.

Winchelsea is very quaint but small. Rye is a more interesting town with a number of cafes and restaurants. There are places of historic interest to visit too. Would recommend The Hope Anchor Tea Rooms and Webbe's Fish Cafe.
