Overall it wasn’t a bad stay however, the person checking us in was neither friendly nor welcoming. The shower in the lodge was leaking, and there was a big puddle of water in the bathroom when we first arrived. Also the hot water tap was scolding. The lodge was clean but lacked basic amenities such as hand wash in the kitchen. I understand it’s self-contained but these are little touches that make a difference.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The lodge 2 was perfect for our needs as we were staying for a wedding and needed space with a kitchen for 6 days which was helpful with saving time and money. We could dine in when needed. Coming from the US, the amenities and hot water switches take some getting used to, but we figured it out! Thanks for a lovely stay.

A lovely places to stay in prime location for Rye and Camber. The room was well laid out, clean and the bed extra comfortable.

Breakfast was amazing and the restaurant/bar had a great ambiance. The staff were so helpful.

The only let down was that the shower was scalding and could not be turned down, meaning neither of us could was our hair or shower properly.

Enjoyable Stay

Very welcoming, friendly and helpful staff. Excellent food in the restaurant. Good choice of breakfasts. Room was rather small with no wardrobe or dressing table but was OK for a couple of nights. There were some wicker drawers but these were dusty inside. Only one bedside table with drawers. Tea, coffee, water and biscuits provided in the room and the bed was very comfortable. Bathroom clean snd adequate. Overall an enjoyable stay.

Kings Head Rye

Had a fabulous long weekend at the Kings Head. Stayed in one of the lodges which was lovely. Decor was seaside inspired so added to the holiday feel. Food was fantastic and staff couldn’t have been friendlier and more welcoming. Will definitively stay again!!!

Nice friendly hotel

Nice friendly welcome. First impression of the room was not great, but we grew into it and were happy. Very quiet and comfortable. The bathroom was a bit cold and had some dead insects on the floor. Shower was excellent; very powerful and hot!
Food was excellent; good value and very well cooked and presented. The full English breakfast was superb!

Short break in Rye

Very comfortable and attractive room. Close to town. Room was clean and well equipped. Shower area looked tired. Room was a little noisy due proximity to main road and overlooking beer garden. (weather hot so needed windows open)

Lovely breakfast - although dining tables felt sticky to touch.

Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Overall, a nice hotel

Beautiful room ( Champagne Room) with incredibly comfy bed. Clean and well-equipped. Lovely bathroom although the shower head was very small and therefore didn’t produce much spray. However, this was the only negative. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. The stay was really good value for money and a super break.

Short over night stay

Staff were nice, breakfast particularly with table reserved and welcoming. Really short stopover on my own and sadly was put in the room which over looks the garden which happens to be the one way exit due to Covid so very noisy (beach hut room) and thought it would go quiet by 11 but group of people drinking and talking outside the bedroom window until 1am disturbed me.. I’m sure you wouldn’t be able to hear it in any of the other rooms but this one over looked the garden area. Also tv had no picture. Otherwise the property was clean and felt very Covid safe and staff were nice and food was nice.

Disappointing stay

The room (Beach hut) was so small one has difficulties opening the bathroom door. The shower mechanism had no instruction and was very complicated. The bed was uncomfortable because it appeared to be two small single beds pushed together with a resulting hole in the middle of the bed, the room overlooked a patio where people smoked and talked and a pipe emitted some sort of smoke (kitchen?) directly below the bedroom window, there were hardly any places or hooks to hang your items/clothing. The restaurant was decent.

Nice stay in Rye

This Inn is located on a slight hill about a 10 minute walk to town. Very standard of an old English Inn, with smaller rooms above the restaurant/pub. Staff is very pleasant, and Lisa, the owner, went out of her way to make us happy. Food was very good and plenty. It is on a busy road. Future guests: request a room in one of the cottages in back. They are larger and a little father back from the road. In town, check out the Mermaid Inn on Mermaid St. I don’t think we’d stay there, but it is so very old and full of history.

The Kings Head Inn has some excellent reviews online, and I am very pleased to add mine to those. Although a little way out of town if you need to walk, it is well worth the trip. Comfortable, clean, quiet, and a lovely place to stay. Pleasant ambience in the dining room of the old 17th Century coaching Inn with the fireplaces lit up. Best of all are the meals - a filling breakfast with several choices is included in the room price, and represents really great value. Dinner (prepared in the hotel kitchen) are very tasty with huge portions and lots of choices. We have no complaints, only compliments, and definitely highly recommend the Kings Head Inn.

Choose your room carefully!

Couldn’t fault attentive & vigilant staff. Food was great as was portion size. Unfortunately our room was too small meaning we had to side step round the bed and ceiling was very low making us feel squashed. After a poor nights sleep ( bed was also on the small side) we were kindly shown around all the other rooms which were empty and so much bigger!! So we’d prob book again and request NOT the beach room.

Bedroom was smaller than expected, but clean, well decorated and comfortable, albeit a bit too warm.( But aren't all Hotel rooms?) Nothing an open window didn't solve.I am a Coeliac and hadn't informed chef in advance. No problem, gluten free bread and sausage catered for , so I enjoyed an excellent Full English breakfast.
A great first experience. Thanks.

This is an excellent hotel on all counts. There was additional space in the form of a second room with a chaise lounge and TV - a totally unexpected bonus. The breakfast was also excellent and the restaurant very attractive. Staff were very pleasant, efficient and professional, but the whole place had a homely feel. It is also within easy walking distance of the town which is highly desirable. I would definitely recommend The Kings Inn in Rye and also hope to return.

I booked this hotel and spookily it was on TV's 4 in a bed when I called in at my Mums just half an hour later. Anyhow it looked a nice hotel and it was. Only a few niggles really nothing major league. The staff were lovely breakfast and he dinner we had excellent. The room was small and a bit quirky very nicely decorated called beach hut. No wardrobe just hangers on wall peg near the door couple of chest of draws as I said it was quite small. Bathroom ditto but did have a double shower. It was clean but a bit of mould on outside of shower and plaster coming off over toilet. I had to get creative when drying my hair as sockets not near the mirrors although two mirrors in the bedroom. I had to unplug kettle by the window plug in the hair dryer and open bathroom door to use mirror from a distance. But it was okay it worked. Some noise from kitchen banging plates etc could be heard in our room and also steam wafting up the window from a vent of some description. We looked directly onto the beer garden and folks came out to smoke but it didn't really bother us too much.
