Low quality experience for a lot of Money.
Unfortunately the experience wasn’t good. On arrival I was greeted with not being able to find my booking which was a little frustrating, then we went to the room and it was freezing cold and had to wait a hour for it to be comfortable and in the morning there was no hot water so cold showers. We paid over £200 for this.

The Great Escape provides convenient access to Rye and the surrounding countryside. The rooms are clean and well organised, the bed was nice and comfy. The adjacent pub has a good selection of beers and nice pub food. The staff are friendly and keen to help. Can’t go far wrong.

Brilliant staff. Very convenient, everything you need on site. A bus stop 5 minutes walk away that takes you into Rye town centre. Not the plushest of rooms, but definitely good enough

In the middle of nowhere, dangerous to drive out onto the road , they need a mirror across the road to make it safe to exit the car park , the rooms were ok but a bit overpriced for what they are , nice that you get a pint of milk in your fridge, unfortunately most days you can’t eat in the pub as they only serve dinner on certain days which is not listed on the site , and to finally ruin my stay they close the pub at 8 pm , this is also not listed
