“Where do you start ,excellent stay in one of the Four poster rooms!”

Excellent stay in a lovely room

“A magical historical beautiful place”

We have stayed at the Mermaid Inn a few times before and have never been disappointed. If you go to Rye you really have to stay at The Mermaid .., as soon as you walk in to this place you feel the atmosphere of it's history , a real step back in time , a time to leave the fast pace of life behind as you enjoy this wonderful place , a feeling of privilege of actually staying there. We stayed in room 33 this time , a lovely room facing out to the front of the hotel. A little corner closet to hang your clothes if needed , plus chest of drawers , TV and good coffee and tea facilities,with the complimentary bottles of water and biscuits. The bed was so comfortable,it had a few creaks when turning but that only added to the charm of staying in such a place. Warm and comfortable, clean . I feel every so often we have to return to this charming place to re charge our batteries! You won't be disappointed. You must also have a drink in the bar next to the fabulous large fireplace .

“Old Inn - but not for the old if you have any physical limitations.”

Beautiful very old Inn. Perfect location for the town of Rye. But - the car park is very small and it is quite an uphill walk from the nearest public parking. Most definitely not OK, unless you are relatively fit. We moved the ‘full’ barrier to offload our luggage. The stairs are steep and in part… lisää

Beautiful very old Inn. Perfect location for the town of Rye. But - the car park is very small and it is quite an uphill walk from the nearest public parking. Most definitely not OK, unless you are relatively fit. We moved the ‘full’ barrier to offload our luggage. The stairs are steep and in parts uneven. Ceilings are low - which of course all adds to the charm. We had a four poster bed which was very high and so difficult to assent and descent. The shower was poor and I didn’t bother to wash my hair until I got home. For these reasons, we were glad to leave. Food was good - but the menu doesn’t change. Surely the chef gets very bored churning out the same dishes every night? We enjoyed the very small bar and managed to always get a seat. Drinks selection is excellent. Every member of the staff was lovely and every aspect of our stay was efficient. We probably won’t return as there is little to do in the area for a return visit. If we did, we would stay here but choose a different room to make our stay a lot better and more comfortable.

“Disappointing”

We have stayed at the Mermaid a number of times in the past, so we were disappointed by our recent visit. It felt like standards have slipped.

We have stayed at the Mermaid a number of times in the past, so we were disappointed by our recent visit. It felt like standards have slipped. Not just in terms of the upkeep of the hotel, but more especially the attitude of the staff. Some of whom were unfriendly, dismissive and in some cases sarcastic. We love this hotel and have good memories from previous stays, but this time it was very disappointing.
