Entering the hotel is like stepping back in history but with mod cons. The staff are very polite and can’t do enough for their guests. The room was spotlessly clean.

My wife and I had a great experience. From the time we arrived and found a parking space for our car, until the time we drove out was amazing. Staff were courteous, friendly and very efficient. Food was fabulous. Room was well laid out, stocked and comfortable. Our stay at the Mermaid Inn enhanced our visit to beautiful Rye. Thank you.
We loved the look and the history of the Mermaid Inn.
Our room was comfortable, well stocked with tea, coffee, milk etc..

Staff went over and above to be helpful. Hotel was very old and quirky. Lots of character and charm. The broken radiator in my room was sorted out successfully. The toilet in the room did not flush terribly well and the shower low pressure. Lovely lounges to sit in and the restaurant was very attractive. We had a good breakfast.

Not the cheapest joint in town, but offering a memorable event with good service and hospitality thrown in for good measure. This and more set in the most quaint of all cobbled streets in a super little Sussex town.
