Fantastic property in a great location in the heart of Old Rye. The property was beautifully presented and spotlessly clean. Additionally, Brenda was a great host, constantly checking in that things were all good. Although there is no full English breakfast, what is offered was really delicious, with quality fresh ingredients sourced locally that really set you up for the day ahead.

Not a complaint, but worth noting is that there is no parking on site and the public parking can get quite expensive, or very busy (i.e. full) in the more reasonably priced car park in the Market Square and it's a good stiff walk uphill back to the property! Property is definitely not suitable for small children or those with mobility issues. Would have liked a refresh of the coffee making facilities after the first night.

Brenda was a fantastic host; warm, welcoming and friendly. The property and room were beautiful, an adorable tea house and the location could not be more central. Brenda includes lots of nice extra touches such as a tea / coffee (and chocolates / biscuits) in the room, and a glass of wine to welcome you to the property, the bathroom is also kitted out with everything you will need. We would stay here again without doubt!

Honesty there really is nothing that needs to be changed. This is more a personal preference, but we both found the mattress in the bed very soft, If that´s what you like then you will be happy, but for us it was a little uncomfortable for 2 nights.

The property was lovely! Low beams and beautifully decorated. It was just like being in wonderland. Perfect location. There were really thoughtful extras like the toiletries in the bathroom cabinet and the tea tray was well stocked as well as sweets by the bed. Brenda was very helpful and kind

I wouldn’t say there was anything I didn’t like about it but the pillows could have been more comfortable, they were a little too big for us. My boyfriend found the mattress uncomfortable but I found it comfortable so I think that’s possibly different for everyone. I would have liked breakfast for the price we paid so perhaps that could be considered.

Brenda was a fabulous host, who greeted us with a glass of wine when we arrived at the end of a long journey. She ensured we had plenty of supplies such as tea and towels. She was helpful with recommendations of things to do and places to go, and chatted to us when we saw her around the town. The house is beautiful with a very central location and has many original and quirky features, it is full of character and history. We had a large en suite room that we very much enjoyed.

Nothing.

Brenda was a wonderful host and the property is a gorgeous 500 year old gem. It is in a brilliant location right in the centre of Rye and very charming. Brenda was attentive and the continental breakfast had plenty to choose from.

Nothing we didn’t like. However, if you are very tall the property may be difficult for you as the ceilings are low and there are several beams to duck and avoid but that is part of the character. It would be nice to have an option of something hot at breakfast perhaps such as eggs.

The property charming and historic, in a perfect location for exploring Rye. Our room was large and beautifully decorated. Breakfast was a delight.

Brenda as a host, was brilliant. The room was beyond our expectations and is the best room we have stayed in. It was lovely and clean very large and had all the facilities and more. Breakfast was so lovely never had so much choice on a continental breakfast, lovely fresh fruit, smoothies a wide choice of cereals and much more, cannot praise it enough. It was a pleasure to stay there, and highly recommend it to anyone, will certainly be staying again. The Tea House is perfectly situated in Rye for all the facilities all within walking distance.

There was nothing we did not like. Just perfect.

The (continental) breakfast is of a very high quality, and excellent value for money. Our host (Brenda) was very friendly, helpful and attentive. We could not have asked for a more relaxing stay.

Those who find stairs difficult, or anyone more than about 6ft/1.8m tall, may find access to the room that we stayed in (at the top of the property) requires some care.

Gorgeous property in a great location on the high street but noise was not a problem. Our room was spacious with a good sized bathroom. Lovely and cosy on a cold winter weekend! Brenda was lovely and we would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Rye.

Nothing! Taller people might struggle with door heights but we didn’t find it an issue (we are 5’8 and 6’0) and it’s a beautiful old house so we appreciate that these features were still remaining!

Location, ease of check-in (Brenda was wonderful!), quirkiness of the building (don’t expect straight walls or floors!), Brenda had really thought of everything in the room (coffee, tea, various accompaniments, water glasses etc)

Ok so I banged my head - welcome to old houses! I didn’t bang it after I had learnt my lesson! Adds to the charm!
