Great pub, lovely room.

Lovely pub in the heart of the town, nice selection of beers and great food (cooked breakfast was amazing). We had the suite which was amazing, lots of room, comfortable, clean and well decorated. Bed was large and comfortable, only small downside was the pillows were far too soft for my liking, but I guess that's a personal preference. Lack of free parking was a bit of a pain as well, road parking is available but sparse, and car park next door is handy but not the cheapest (about £8 for 4 hours I think).

Good hotel in lovely Rye

Breakfast was amazing, but hotels.cool didn’t give the option of having it included (despite the hotel telling me that they did offer this - for a very reduced rate). Breakfast for 2 came to £40, but would’ve been half that if pre-booked. Shame it wasn’t an option offered to me. Dinner was exceptional, but portion sizes a little smaller than the price suggested, but the quality was great and the food was tasty. The lamb was brilliant, but I should’ve added sides. My room was nice but at 6ft 1 the low beams and uneven floors made it difficult to move around, and made the room feel even smaller than it was. My friend stayed in a different room, and this was lovely and spacious with no awkward low beams.

We had a couple comfortable nights stay at The Ship Inn. The room was very spacious and clean. The bed was a little too soft for us, but that's just our own personal preference. Food in the restaurant was amazing with friendly staff and prompt customer service.

We enjoyed staying at The Ship as it was not far to walk to train station and hosted several performances as part of the Rye Jazz & Blues Festival. We dropped our luggage off to check other gig locations and returned for lunch. Their Sunday Roast was delicious, accompanied with Yorkshire Puddings, roast veg and gravy and a good chpice of locally produced wines and beer. The staff were friendly, knowledgable and efficient and I'd definitely stay there again.
