A wonderfull, quirky place to stay. The rooms can be small, but the very comfortable bed makes up for it. Personel is very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend it.

Wonderfully quirky B&B in unforgettable Rye, perfect for 1-2 night stay. We were lucky to be upgraded to room 1, which is up nearly 40 stairs but delightful with its wooden beams, gorgeous creaky floors and shower over the bath (with real taps, not an on/off button, excellent). Positives: Very comfy bed and luxuriously thick towels Extra attention to detail... More

Located conveniently within easy walking distance of the station and the town centre, the Ship has a quirky alternative feel. Exposed beams and paired down wooden uneven floors gives this place heaps of character, with rooms that have been decorated with a real local feel. The staff are friendly and efficient, the food is an excellent blend of local rustic... More

We LOVED our recent mini break at The Ship Inn. The fact we were encourged to bring our dog when we booked in was a massive PLUS and little Ruby was made most welcome. She loved it and was very good. The quirky decor and fabulous attention to detail belie the quite traditional exterior of the pub. The little touches... More

My husband, myself and our two little dogs had the most amazing stay at The ship Inn for a surprise birthday break away. Food was out of this world (dinner and breakfast!). At breakfast the dogs were cooked their own sausages each morning, which was a lovely treat for them. We stayed in room10 which was a lovely size and... More

We arrived about 3.30 and following the instructions on the booking form pulled up outside to unload and be advised where to park. The pub wasn't busy but the young girl I spoke to was very... More

We have just returned from 2 nights at the Ship Inn and 3 wonderful, relaxing days in Rye. We were in desperate need of a break and the combination of the short travel time from central London (1h25 from St Pancras), a wonderful place to stay and a really interesting small town to explore was perfect. We had a very... More

Just returned from our week end stay at the Ship Inn. We wanted to sample the Rye Scallop festival so gladly booked at this fantastic Inn. This was our third stay and as ever The Ship Inn delivered on all aspects of its uniquely vintage/retro style. The staff manage to appear fabulously informal, friendly and yet are incredibly hard-working and... More

Very cosy. Great atmosphere in the bar/restaurant. Lovely breakfasts. Great location. A bit quirky. Rooms (particularly bathrooms) are quite small, though the rooms have plenty of character. We would go back.
