I would like to review the staff as great, however The welcome was not warm, it was haughty. On our departure the staff were friendly and helpful, and polite when we made our comments.
The Hotel exterior was beautiful with an inviting Garden, and plenty of parking.
The Bar was a warm and cosy environment with great Bar staff.
Our room was very clean, but could do with updating, and one of the windows would not open. There was Plenty of Hot water in the shower, but not much room to move, the Bathroom was very clean, but it was a struggle to turn the sink taps on and the shower off.
I booked a twin room as I was away with my Mum, I understand they are the least popular rooms, but they could do with some modernising, and we had no fan. Which the Lady on reception apologised profusely for when she realised.
Our breakfast was tasty and quickly delivered and the dining room a pleasant atmosphere to dine in.
I would come to stay again, but I might have a conversation with the reception team about our room prior to booking.

My stay here was incredible. A very picturesque, charming and calming place to stay.
From the moment I walked in I was blown away from the ethos of the staff. From the cleaner through to the management, no-one could do enough. In particular, the attentiveness, the attention to detail, and being welcomed with a smile creates an ideal place to get away from it all.
The gym is well equipped and also has; separate male and female saunas, an indoor pool and a jacuzzi. I found the beauty therapist to be very professional, knowledgeable and had an ability to make you feel at ease.
As for the food, I'm speechless. I wish I had stayed longer to try the rest of the menu items, I only managed to try two. But both blew me away with the quality of the ingredients, the flavours and the fact it made me slow down to savour every mouthful!! I certainly didn't want my stay to end.
I would highly recommend this establishment, can't fault it, so has to be a 10/10 from me.

We booked to stay 2 nights, arrived on Friday which was a heatwave day and was told we would get a fan in our room. When there was no fan in the room, we were told they are all allocated out! When questioned the staff, we got attitude and the response was- fine, you can have my fan, I won't have one!
The same night it was thunder and lightning so we left the doors open in our room, 3am we got around 30 - 40 wasps fly into our room landing on us! It was horrific. We called reception and 2 people turned up with a bug spray - we had to close the door so the fumes stayed in the room, trapped in heat. Took a long time to clear it up and we had to sleep in the same room in the fumes because the hotel was booked up with 2 wedding parties.
The lady who helped us called management but had no response and no one ever got back to us. Very disappointing stay, sleepless nights and feel the situation could have been handled better. No apology from the reception staff when we left, she gave us free breakfast but sadly no mention of a refund for our stay which we think should have been given.
We have a video but won't upload for protection of the staff.

We had an enjoyable stay at this hotel. The staff made us feel welcome and well looked after. There was a good choice of food for both breakfast and dinner, cooked to a high standard.

Our room was spacious and clean, offering plenty of comfort throughout our stay. The only downside was that some of the furniture felt a little tired and could benefit from an update, but it didn’t detract from the overall experience.

Overall, a pleasant stay with great service and good amenities — We’d happily return.

Very friendly atmosphere and lovely staff who were happy and willing to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Superior double room was clean and spacious and bathroom was pristine and up to date. It would have been nice to be able to open the fixed net curtains to have a proper view of the garden outside our room but this is a small personal niggle.
Breakfast and dinner were both delicious and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Overall, a lovely location for a weekend visiting Rye and its surroundings and I would stay here again.

Beds are huge and the staff are jolly and helpful providing excellent service. Communal lounge, dining room and grounds all kept really nice.

Spa is more functional than luxurious but good for the price.

Only negatives were:
- both me and my friends eggs at breakfast tasted very vinegar-y.
- Each time the extractor fan was on in my room it was drawing in bad smells eg sewage and cabbage cooking smells.

However overall we really enjoyed our stay and are grateful to the staff for making it really pleasant.

The leisure facilities are quite old but we knew this when we booked. The water in the jacuzzi was nice and hot and the pool a good size. Amy in the Beauty Rooms did a great Swedish massage and was very welcoming and friendly. We didn't eat at the hotel but had drinks in the bar both nights. Great cocktails. We would return.

The mattress very spacious but the quality of the mattress was very poor as we woke with neck and bck pain .
The heating was not working sufficiently but the staff provided an extra oil heater on the second day. The indoor pool was not heated and the jacuzzi was only big enough for 3 people at a time. The shower pressure was low. The breakfast was expensive for what you received.
To be fair it was our first time staying at a private hotel rather than a public hotel. If your used to staying in main stream hotels than this private hotel would not be ideal for you. There are a few restaurants 15mins drive away but not many, parking was a little difficult as the roads are narrow. Overall we had a lovely quiet valentines weekend.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel with my partner and our dog. From the moment we arrived, the receptionist was incredibly welcoming and thoughtful. As I am recovering from knee surgery, she kindly offered us a downstairs room with easier access, which made a huge difference to my comfort.

She truly went the extra mile and was exceptionally kind, professional, and caring. The hotel is very dog-friendly, and we felt genuinely looked after throughout our stay. Highly recommended – we would definitely stay again.

I am very torn about this review. The staff are very friendly but stretched. The hotel, bar and restaurant are a little tired but in no way dirty. The gym, spa and pool are really good. I noticed that a good number of rooms are under renovation and there is every chance for this place to be 10/10. Currently good value for what you get.

Mediocre

The room was a good size, but decor was tired.

The bathroom was very old fashioned and not in good condition - cracked for tiles and missing towel rail.

The room was quite hot, possibly because it was above the spa/gym.

Surprisingly for a Spa hotel, there were no bathrobes.

The restaurant was good, food nicely prepared and a reasonable menu selection. However, it is costly - possibly taking unfair advantage of lack of local competition.

Sadly, the shower in our room didn't work well, the overall condition is now tired (been staying for years), the service is very slow, and the chef tends to go “off menu, \" meaning the dish ordered and served varies.

The bed was ok, but the room was too hot, and there was no temp control or A/C, so I barely slept. It could be great again, but it needs a refurb.

Finally, our car was damaged in their car park and the staff couldn't have cared less / borderline rude!

I used the Spa facilities once and it was ok. The staff was pleasant unlike the one at the reception.on arrival.
I was charged for one night as originally agreed. I should have been refunded for the 3 cancelled nights.

Our stay caught us off guard if I'm completely honest. The staff were brilliant so this is no way a reflection of their dedication to the Flackley House, however the room we were given was not a reciprocation of what was advertised through the app. Furthermore, the spa facilities including the swimming pool were undergoing maintenance which was not mentioned prior our stay. The bathroom was very outdated - i can understand this as a traditional house, but in my opinion, this was not worth what we paid especially given not being able to use the facilities that really sell the property.

The grounds were exceptionally beautiful. The staff were very welcoming and the breakfast was good. A car is recommended as it's in the middle of nowhere and shops are few and far between the roads. The beach was 15minute drive away. I wish to come back and stay but only after a thorough indoor upgrade in the rooms.

Not worth the money

Stayed for 3 nights with friends to celebrate three special birthdays , choosing Frackley Ash as it looked really nice , although it was a bit pricey for a room only option. The rooms we had were standard doubles and were located in the main building just upstairs from the reception. The bedrooms were a decent size & the beds were comfortable enough but the bathrooms were disappointing. They were very dated & had no showers, only a shower handset for washing your hair. This was a real let down as my husband has difficulty getting in & out of a bath due to a leg injury. We all had several niggling problems with the rooms ( door not locking, main light not working, towel rail loose , window not staying open , hardly any hot water in two of the rooms & TV not switching off ) , which is not really what you'd expect for the price that we paid. There is no air conditioning in the rooms either so you've got to have your window open & a fan on to try & cool the room. Breakfast is charged per item which is extortionate so we didn't bother with that, choosing The Cockerel Inn down the road instead, which I think most people do by the sound of it. Whilst the public areas were very nice, the rooms need a massive refurb.

Overall we were disappointed with our stay at Flackley. My wife did not receive a towel lacking powerful perfum (to which she has allergies and contributed to a severe migraine as a result ). The room was sub standard- French door broken, (leaky loo-we didn’t bother mentioning), and furniture was not as advertised. We informed hotel staff of these issues and felt neither listened to nor supported

We booked a Junior Suite but when we arrived were put in a scruffy double room with old furniture, stained carpets and an adjoining room with 3 single beds in it. They were fully booked and had obviously overbooked.
The staff on the desk didn't know what to do. After strong words with the duty manager (interestingly we were supported by other guests), they offered a discount or a full refund - we took the refund, which we have now received.
Not a great experience! Not even a reasonable experience! We were left without a room and our planned weekend break was ruined.
Beware - Not every room looks like the photos!

The hotel was meant to do breakfast till 11 o’clock on a Sunday because they had a wedding book. They finished at 10 o’clock with not telling any of the 93 people staying in the hotel so we had to go out and get food in the middle of nowhere.

Unfortunately, the hotel needs to update their pictures. The Spa facilities were very old and not good!

Although the staff were good , again the food let down the hotel even more. The evening meal was not good, tasteless and we weee glad we didn’t have a main meal. Breakfast, the poached egg came out hard , not soft as requested.

The grounds were lovely as was the location, however, the hotel was a total letdown.

Very smooth check in and out with a very welcoming and kind team. We made use of the spa facilities which was quiet and also had food in their restaurant. Can't fault the place, we had a wonderful stay

Bring earplugs!

We liked our stay, good amenities and lovely location but unfortunately the hotel was loud- from our room (22) we could hear people going up and down creaky stairs and slamming doors. There was quite a lot of loud voices and noise late at night and early morning meaning we didn't sleep that well.
We enjoyed the location of the hotel though and the room was clean and comfortable.

A Place to Relax

A really enjoyable 3 nt stay. The staff made us welcome, the 'superior' room was OK if not a little outdated, the dinners were excellent & the location perfect for local touring.

Warm and welcoming.

Very clean. Friendly, helpful staff who went out of their way to help. Great food. Our room would benefit from refurbishment but the beds were really comfortable, it was spotlessly clean and the shower was great. Lots of parking. The public spaces were welcoming and comfortable and for warmer weather there was outdoor seating. We also went to the spa which was lovely. We're looking forward to a return visit, a very relaxing weekend. Thank you

We absolutely loved our two night stay at Flackley Ash Country House. The staff were very kind and hospitable but not overbearing. The facilities were lovely and the food was some of the best we've had in a long time. Highly recommend.

Had a great stay! Check-in was smooth, and checkout was just as easy. We stayed for one night, and the hotel staff were friendly and helpful throughout. While the rooms and amenities may benefit from a refresh, they were still in good condition. Overall, a pleasant experience, and I would definitely visit again!

Let me know if you’d like any further adjustments! 😊

Flackley ash hotel: exceeded expectations

Lovely place, **very** friendly and professional staff and spotless rooms. The restaurant staff were top-notch, and on the night the food was excellent. I have not stopped talking to my friends about the chicken liver pate I had, that was superb. Breakfast was also extremely well cooked and presented, and to top it all up, the prices were reasonable. The free pool/spa/gym was the icing on the cake.
My wife and I would certainly recommend it, and we will happily visit again.

Clean & tidy

Disappointed that the dog friendly rooms were not segregated, which resulted in barking from my adjacent room every time someone walked down the corridor.
The hotel staff, front desk, health club and restaurant were very friendly.
My room was very clean, tidy and furnished extremely well.

Another relaxing stay

Just back from another relaxing stay at Flackley Ash. The staff are friendly and it’s good to see some familiar faces. I’m glad they have a small step they can bring out, as the last step into the building is rather steep. Esp if you have joint problems.

Our room was lovely but my one complaint is the size of the toilet. It was one of the lowest I’ve ever seen and having 2 hip and a knee replacement I struggled to get on and off!

On the whole the hotel was ok, but what let it down badly was our room - No6.
Firstly it was very warm despite their being no heating on in the room, window constantly open didn't bring it down to a comfortable temperature.
Hot water was a joke! At best it dribbled out of the hot tap and at one point around 6ish on the Saturday evening, there was no water at all from the hot tap. Clearly too much demand for the system to cope with, but also gives concern over how compliant their water system is e.g L8, HSG274.
Yes we did complain to reception but we were only there for 2 nights and didn't want the hassle of changing rooms with only the 2nd night to go.
The hotel was in a nice position for exploring the Rye area, but we won't be staying there again.
