The room / suite exceeded expectations. Very comfy bed, and sofabed. Really lovely rooms. Wonderful reception of our pampered pooch....and the dining area in pub was warm, welcome and delish. Arrived on cold night, warmed immediately by staff and pub.Breakfast just what Dr ordered...and sausage enjoyed immensely by ppooch....who had been befriended by others! Location fantaztic, with interesting shops a stone's throw, and Rye main thoroughfare an amble away. I can truly recommend this Inn... without reservation( !). Especially if you are a dog lover / owner . Staff very friendly and helpful...and even offered us coffees (free) while we were waiting by the fire ....☺️

first impressions walking into the pub were great, it's very cosy and welcoming, we had a friendly check in, the room was fine for the night, the bed was very comfortable, water and tea/coffee making facilities, hair dryer and fluffy towels provided

if I have to be picky, and being an Interior Designer I would have to say the decor and bathroom could have done with a refresh the breakfast was good, my husband had the full English which he enjoyed, I chose the poached eggs and smashed avocado, unfortunately it didn't come out smashed and with chili like it had been advertised on the menu, just a full avocado sliced with the egg but that's all I can really grumble about Rye itself is a little gem

We had a wonderful stay at the Ship Inn. It's a fabulous B&B right in the heart of Rye. The room was super clean and well decorated, and the bed was super large and comfortable. Despite its location next to the road (as with many guest houses in Rye) it was very quiet due to the secondary glazing, which kept noise to a minimum. The staff were friendly and efficient. Best of all for us, it is dog friendly and the management even provided a doggy treat box in the room. The breakfast was really good and plentiful. Can't recommend enough!

Nothing all was very good/excellent.

Friendly and welcoming staff, the room was clean and comfortable. The only issue was that it became a bit hot during the night even when the heating off and the window cracked. It must have been all the surrounding rooms which had their heating on. Definitely not anything that should put anybody off! The dinner was great and the Inn is cozy this time of the year! The location is great seeing how as soon as you get out you're at the bottom of the famous Mermaid Street.

The building was stunning and the room was very comfortable and a perfect place to retire to at the end of the day. The bathroom was a very good size with beautifully scented soaps, shampoo and conditioner, according to my wife.

The room was too hot even with the air conditioning on and window wide open, but that cannot be legislated for, as it was the time of year The brochure in the room was great advertising for your company but didn't tell us anything about Rye or the surrounding area, which would have been good or a menu of the food and drinks available in the bar / restaurant.

I’ve been a customer at The Ship for some years. I’ve enjoyed a pint by an open fire in winter and listened to live music outside during the jazz festival. I remember having the best fish and chips here too. However, this year I was lucky to be able to stay for a night. The staff were so accommodating as my friend who travelled with me brought her young but large dog along. We brought his cage and we needed help carrying it up the stairs.. and back down again the next day and they were so helpful. I’m a poor sleeper but had a full night’s sleep here .. a most comfortable bed.

Nothing.. it was all good

The Ship Inn is in a quiet location on the edge of town, just a short walk to all the services and attractions Rye has to offer. Staff could not have done more for us, they were welcoming, knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. Our room was beautifully decorated and we had all we needed for a 1-night stay. The bed was super comfy, with very comfortable pillows and well supplied drinks and toiletries. The room cosy and relaxing, everywhere was spotlessly clean. The pub sells local produce which we really liked, we had locally caught fish and chips for our evening meal which was delicious and we tried some of the local wine from the local Balfour Winery. The staff were extremely knowledgeable regarding the local wines and beers and helped us to make some excellent choices.

There was a lot of stairs to our room, so be aware if you have limited mobility. The staff helped us to our room and carried our case, which was very kind of them. Nothing was too much trouble,

We appreciate that The Ship is a very old and lovely building. All of the common areas and the rooms are tastefully decorated and furnished in a suitable style. However, while the shower cubicle was small, it was an excellent shower, but the rest of the bathroom, loo seat, toilet brush, shelf etc, felt "cheap" and old. Lastly, clear acrylic furniture has no place in a property like this. Yuck!

The room was a pleasant surprise. For such an old building it had been really well designed - and obviously recently redecorated. The service was amazing. The chef's train was cancelled and he arrived late for breakfast, but the manager cooked it for us himself. It was a fabulous breakfast! All round, it seemed that the people working here really cared about the guests - and their reputation. John, the manager - was incredibly helpful.

I don't think there was anything to criticise from our visit. Maybe some net curtains in the bedroom would have been nice? The building across the street could probably see into our room. That's being ultra picky though!

The location of The Ship Inn was fantastic, and was within walking distance of all of the main sights. The room was great - really clean, modern and had all of the amenities we needed. The staff were really friendly and helpful, and the food (we dined in the pub for dinner) was delicious. Overall a really lovely stay!

The room we were in was very noisy. We could hear music coming from the pub for most of the evening, and could hear other guests in the room above us and to the side of us talking very loudly. The rooms might benefit from some soundproofing to ensure a restful night's sleep.
