The Ship Inn

The Ship is in central Rye, at the bottom of Mermaid Street. Built in 1592, it was originally a warehouse to store contraband seized from smugglers. It is now a characterful pub, with beams, wooden floors & log fires. Open from eleven every day for freshly prepared food, local fish, Bloody Marys, real ales & organic cider. 10 comfy modern rooms (four of which are dog-friendly) - all with en-suite bath or shower. Children, dogs are especially welcome.

Absolutely brilliant!

Booked an evening meal at this cosy little town pub for my wife's 60th. We had a superb meal, great food and the service was excellent from the friendly staff. Great menu choice too, especially seafood. Lovely atmosphere and superb beer, the Cellarhead highly recommended! Can't wait to visit again!

We stopped here for breakfast and couldn’t have asked for better. Amazing service, friendly staff and generous portions of great food. You must have the cooked breakfast - perfection and super thick toast. We would definitely visit again.

We are also dog and child friendly.

Lovely meal

Reviewed By Lin W

Good menu choice with variety to suit appetites and dietary preferences. Additional items on a specials board. Very pleasant staff and service time was just about right. Steak cookery needs honing, but there was no problem when I asked for my steak to be re-cooked as medium rare. Some of the sweets are homemade. Two courses with drinks for £55

The Horse & Cart Inn

4 B&B rooms above The Horse & Cart Inn including a dog friendly 1 family room. All rooms recently refurbished and all have large walk in showers. Free toiletries, wi-fi and cooked breakfast.

Used as a stopover but would return as a destination

Reviewed By lizardman50

We stayed here just for one night when we visited our son and his family who were staying in a holiday cottage nearby. But we enjoyed it so much we would definitely stay here again. There was a friendly welcome and we were quickly shown to our room. The room was comfortable and pillows just right which is rarely the case. We had a nice en suite with a great shower. Plenty of tea and coffee in the room. Had an enjoyable drink in the pub. Unfortunately our son had already provided dinner as the meals in the pub sounded delicious. In the morning we had the full English breakfast that was perfectly cooked and one of the nicest we have had in a long time (plus we didn't need anything to eat for the rest of the day)! All in all this place is highly recommended.

Rooms offer king sized beds and en-suite facilities. Other features include original oak beams within the letting rooms and the main inn. Make yourselves tea and coffee in vintage china in the morning in bed whilst watching television with freeview prior to popping over the the restaurant for a sumptuous hearty breakfast using fresh local produce - continental and full English are offered.We are proud of our home cooked food and offer far more than your usual pub grub. Our food is locally sourced where possible and reflects seasonal changes. We are a perfect dining space for a romantic dinner for two, a family celebration or a private party.

Very good B and B, well placed in Rye

Reviewed By IanJoan44

This is an excellent B and B - we have only given 4 stars because our room was on the front of the house and there is a lot of road noise. The very efficient double glazing eliminates all the noise but leaves the room rather hot and stuffy, although the hosts have thoughtfully provided a fan which does help a bit. The room was clean with a lovely big bathroom and an efficient shower. The tea tray very welcome with tea, coffee including decaff, chocolate and biscuits . Chocolates by the bed every day were a nice touch. Breakfast was excellent with a good assortment of fresh fruit, cereals, yogurt and a cooked to order hot breakfast with a great choice. Secure car parking an added bonus in Rye when many properties have no car park. Very convenient for walking into town where there are plenty of restaurants -but book first as it can get very busy. Would highly recommend, especially if you book a room at the back.
