Absolutely disappointing stay. The room was incredibly cramped — barely enough space to move around. The beds felt cheap and flimsy, with uncomfortable mattresses where you could feel the springs digging into your back. The bathroom was basic to the point of being bare — leaking taps, barely any water pressure, and just generally poor maintenance. We requested a standard midday checkout, which most places offer without fuss, but the staff were unhelpful and insisted on an 11am checkout, which felt petty and rigid. For £118 a night, the experience was nowhere near worth it — I’ve had far better stays at Travelodge or Premier Inn for less than half the price. Overall, not recommended. Save your money and book elsewhere.

The staff were excellent and did a great job with a smile regardless of the fact they were short staffed. The room was ok overall, clean and comfortable. The bathroom is a wet room which is fine however mould in the grout lines was taking hold, probably due to being short staffed. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would stay again. (For a third visit)

Comfortable and good location

The bedroom was spacious and clean. On the downside the bathroom was tired looking and the shower control not working so very hot water. Could not use.

My friend and I stayed here as Rye was too expensive. Check is a strict 3pm doors shut. The accommodation was ok. Felt a bit tired but good value for money with a breakfast. Beds and linen comfortable and clean - bathroom a bit tired and shower had no pressure. Overall no complaints for the price of the room. Grounds need a bit of attention.

Unexpected Gem!

We had a great stay! It was a last-minute booking and ended up being such a nice surprise. The room was lovely, and the breakfast was amazing—easily one of the best we’ve had in the UK. The staff were super friendly. We really enjoyed our time there and would definitely come back.

The staff and owner made our stay memorable, their attention to making sure their customers needs were met, the rooms were very clean, the restaurant menu was very good and was freshly cooked. This is an ideal place for artists and bird watchers the view from the room is unbelievable, also the bird life sight and sound is brilliant. Can't recommend the Lodge enough. There are places
