Very central to the town
Access to the room was tight and step stairs , low headroom so anyone tall would have to duck and it does not tell you that when you book
Great location. Helpful staff. Great breakfast. Good for families
Clean good location
Modern mixed with old Quirky Traditional features
Windows not double glazed Noise from street
Perfekt – nichts, was wir gerne anders gehabt hätten! Ein kleines Bed and Breakfast, mit einer Bäckerei und Café . Man kann das Frühstück aus der Karte des Cafés auswählen.
The size of the room was good, the bed was comfortable and the breakfast was excellent. It is in a very central location.
It was on the second floor and the stairs were quite steep.
Pillows were hard and bulky
Fantastic room and really good breakfast. very friendly staff.
Beautiful property, we always stay here when we visit Rye.
This time we had a shower rather than a bath, the shower space was quite small.
Comfy bed and fabulous, hearty breakfast!
Although the location in the high street was great, it was extremely noisy in the early morning with delivery drivers, dustcart etc!
Best breakfast in Town and generous check out time of 11am.
No shower
Location and breakfast
The shower was a bit poor
Room.was ok alot of unsafe stairs if you staying in the top.rooms .
The power went down when we arrived but there wasnt much help checking in . Was a bit pricey for the room
Spacious clean and quiet room
Great location and amazing breakfast

Squeaky door to bathroom
Absolutely gorgeous room. Property in general was lovely and clean and the breakfast was unbelievable.
The property was very well located, the room was very nice, big and comfortable, the breakfast was amazing!
Characterful place to stay in a great location. I like the fact it’s independent and a little quirky. I’d say it’s somewhere that’s a solid place to stay without the frills of somewhere more premium.
Loved the central location. Check-in was quick and simple, with a warm, friendly welcome. The room was lovely and comfortable, and the bathroom nice and roomy. The bed was big and cosy. We liked the fact we could have breakfast up until 3pm (I.e. after checking out) but found finding a table at 11am a challenge as non-guests were overwhelming the tables.
Breakfast as part of the room cost was a bonus but was a mixed bag: choices of juices/smoothies was good to accompany hot beverages but the Omni was disappointing - all elements were salty and the eggs flavourless, plus far too much bread. We only ate a small amount and had indigestion afterwards.
The location was fantastic right on the high street. But beware traffic very noisy from 0700hrs. The building was historic. Room was large. Breakfast was very good.
The room was large. There was no fridge so the water and complementary chocolate were melted. No air con and the fan was not very powerful. No shower was a major issue, the hand held shower didn't work with no pressure. The room was very noisy had to have windows open. The restaurant area was tired and dirty. But the food was amazing.
Excellent breakfast, cheerful helpful staff
Rooms are a bit tired, for the money better linen and towels possibly
Camera molto spaziosa, ottima posizione e colazione buonissima
The breakfast is sensational and the team is incredible. Location is perfect right in the centre of RyeZ get the bread before it sells out 👍🏻 It’s also very dog friendly
It was very hot on the day and it was a bit difficult to sleep but was due to a very unusual hot summer
Breakfast is exceptional. The rooms are above the cafe and the bakery is top notch. The breakfast is both high quality very tasty, including fresh baked bread and fantastic selection; plus generous portions. There’s vegan and vegetarian options. Our room was spacious and comfortable. Location couldn’t be better and staff very helpful.
Large and stylish room + shower. Comfy bed. Coffee/tea in the room was nice. Quiet at the back with a lovely view (we stayed in the Tart room). Good breakfast and friendly staff.
Shabby/messy hall area made it feel like a hostel, which is not what you want considering the price. Badly stained/dirty ironing board. If you leave your bags there you need to be back by 330 (when the cafe closes).
Great location, clean tidy and unique. The breakfast is really lovely and some good gluten free options.
Amazing breakfast and a a peaceful room in the centre of Rye. Couldn't ask for more.

La décoration soignée
La douche pas très efficace et le bruit de la rue, Très très présent Même si nous savons qu’en ville c’est bruyant la c’est très très bruyant
Lovely area and amenities. Free water, tea and coffee in the room and comfortable bed! LOVED the breakfast; waking up with the smell of baked goods is heaven.
We found the duvet too heavy for the current weather and season. Struggled to sleep as too hot with it but cold without. A nice middle ground would have been perfect! Bathroom could do with renovation.
The location is excellent and the breakfast was delicious.
The hotel looks a lot nicer on the photos. Our room was tired and not particularly clean. The bathroom needs re-doing and the carpet needs replacing.
I managed to park outside on the road. The room was very nice...very old building with character. Comfortable bed. Great TV with numerous channels. Breakfast was excellent 👌 😋 👍
The stairs to my room. I could not manage to bring my case from my car.
Sehr nettes kleines Hotel mit Café und Bäckerei im Untergeschoss. Das Hotel liegt an der Hauptstraße, parken sollte man etwas außerhalb ca. 4 Minuten Fußweg. Nettes kleine Geschäfte und viele Restaurants in der Nähe. Uns hat es gefallen und wir würden wieder kommen.
Quiet and central location. Early delivery noice but that was offset by then delicious fresh bake scents - and the breakfast was superb.
The fan was insufficient to beat the heat No hair dryer
Excellent location right on high street in Rye . Tasty and generous breakfast which is served in brunch restaurant downstairs . Room has coffee machine and good tea . Room was big .
Room could do with a refresh, in particular bathroom - grouting in shower cubicle tiles need refresh , basin had small cracks and paint a bit worn. Bed a bit soft, while some people may like this I prefer firmer mattress .
We loved our stay at the Whitehouse. It was a great location in the middle of Rye. We stayed in the Crumpet room which was really nice and spacious. Loved the huge bath too! The breakfast was very delicious and the staff very friendly.
It was quite warm in the room but I had anticipated this and so bought an extra fan which helped.
Fantastic breakfast and absolutely perfect location.
Lage+herrliches Frühstück. Duft aus hauseigener Bäckerei, Möwen und rauschender, blühender Magnolienbaum weckten uns auf.
ein paar Ikea-Accesoires + ein paar Spinnennetze im Zimmer, sichtbare Reinigungsgeräte im Stiegenhaus
Breakfast was exceptional

Het heerlijke ontbijt en het vriendelijke personeel
Rommelige kamer
Het personeel, het ontbijt
De kamer was te volgepropt
Sehr individuelle Zimmer; direkt in der Altstadt- top Lage; fantastisches Frühstück und nettes Café!
Excellent location, friendly staff and delicious breakfast
Rooms are very rundown and overpriced (£198 for a Friday night) carpets urgently need replacing
Everything was perfect as usual
Het ontbijt was erg lekker. De kamer was groot genoeg en de locatie midden in het centrum was fijn
De badkamer is wat verouderd
Amazing breakfast! Beautiful room with a lot of character and super kind and helpful staff
Room was quite warm but it is summer in England so that’s expected
Quirky and fun
Friendly staff, comfortable bed and room. Breakfast was amazing!

We stayed at the Tart room, which was comfortable and cozy. Staffs are friendly and welcome. We were able to bring our dog together for the trip.
The water temperature and pump on the shower was not consistent.
Lage, Größe des Zimmers, ruhig
Könnte sauberer und gepflegter sein; mehr als 200€ für eine Nacht ist recht teuer für den Standard des Zimmers.
Location, facilities and breakfast.
Nothing.
The friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, My mobile was malfunctioning so I was unable to see the door code. I was able to check an earlier time, The room was spacious and cool - no mean feat in this extreme heat. I checked out before breakfast was served (high tide was 7.30am) but I was able to enjoy an all day breakfast at lunchtime.
Only 1 bedside light was working. No problem for me as I was a solo traveller. The loo suit swivelled round when you sat on it.
It is located centrally, a short walk from the station. The staff was friendly. The rooms are charming. Plus there is a great cafe downstairs for breakfast, coffee, and early meals.
If I had any quibble, it would be that the cafe/restaurant closes early, by 3pm. Not a real issue as there are plenty of pubs and eateries close by that are open until late.
Great location, comfy bed and excellent breakfast
Nothing
Great location , rooms are quirky, breakfast is included.
Insufficient air con, floors very uneven. Breakfast was ok, but all over cooked. Rooms very expensive for quality.
Perfect location, delicious breakfast and lovely staff!
All very good!
Location was great, on the main high street and close to everything. Parking was easy and just a short walk. Breakfast was amazing, really good selection and great service
They needed to change light bulbs that were not working was quite hard to apply makeup and possibly add a little fridge?
Fantastic location right on the High Street but still very quiet. Breakfast was delicious and included in the price. Our room, Tart, was delightful. Very spacious and a lovely view. Staff excellent.
Lovely room, great facilities and delicious breakfast!
Great dog friendly place. Great breakfast. Staff were very accommodating and helped us manage with the baby and dog. Cleaning staff fantastic.
The stairs to the loft were terrifying.
We loved how easy it was to find the location, parking nearby is just £3 for 24hrs. The building is beautiful and the rooms are quirky. We enjoyed the decor and tranquility of the accommodation. The breakfast was really nice and the staff really friendly. Highly recommend.
The staff were so accommodating
Charming stylish room. Right in the middle of town. Great breakfast.

Great location on the High Street; fantastic to wake up to the smell of baking; breakfast was amazing!
Our room was fine - comfy bed and nice shower - but nothing special.
Lovely room, with bath. Great breakfast!
N/A
Rigtig god morgenmad og super beliggenhed midt på High Street. Badeværelset var lille men fint. Personalet var utrolig søde og imødekommende. Hotellet og bageriet ligger i et smukt gammelt bevaringsværdig og fredet bygning.
Der manglede airconditioning (ikke muligt i den fredede bygning) og sengen var på den lille side. Med en hedebølge og op til 30 graders varme var det ikke behageligt eller rart.
Lovely location, nice room, enjoyed breakfast
My room was on the top floor and up steep stairs, not good for my bad back. Lovely claw foot bath that I didn’t use because of my back and insufficient hand rails.
Breakfast was excellent 👌 also the size of the room and the location of the hotel were great!
Room looked a bit run down, but clean.
The best breakfast ever !!
nothing
the hotel entrance, stairs, room and bathroom were very tired. Not refectling the price paid or limited pictures available when booking. The synthetic pillows, cheap loo roll, lino floor and rubbish tv all felt so budget I felt like a total sucker for choosing this place. The breakfast was generous in size and ok quality.

Decor and state of room
Great location, fantastic breakfast.
The shower in Muffin might be too small for some.
Great location, lovely room and a fabulous breakfast which can be taken throughout the morning so no rush to eat a big meal first thing.
Hervorragendes Frühstück Schöne Einrichtung

Great location Delicious breakfast
Breakfast was unbelievable
the room was comfortable and clean and tastefully decorated . Overall we did like it .
what we did not like there was some stuff outside of the rooms .
Location breakfast & room
Great location. Lots of space in room and comfortable bed.
It didn’t bother us for one night but shower in bath might not suit everyone. Not the biggest bath either.
Great
Great location
A lovely little hotel above a bakery - great to wake up to the smell of baking! Perfect location in the centre of town, and staff were very friendly. Breakfast was tasty and check in/out was a smooth process.
The price is on the higher end we felt for the amenities included
So welcoming, clean , very spacious, great decor, perfect location, …. And wow the choice of breakfast was like no other , overall a massive 10/10

Excellent location in the centre of Rye, friendly staff and fantastic breakfast. Room was spacious with all the facilities we needed, very comfortable bed and minimal noise during the night. We had a very good nights sleep.
The hot water ran out after just one bath both in the evening and morning so one of us had a cool bath both times. Issue was fed back to staff at checkout who said they would pass it on to management.
Excellent hotel and location, it felt like best hotel in Rye
The hotel was dog friendly and in a great central location. The breakfast was outstanding too and all staff were friendly and efficient
There was no food available at the hotel for dinner as the hotel access closes before. Not exactly a problem but good to know
Perfect location and amazing breakfast
It was well located! The facilities were great, and the breakfast was fantastic!
The creaky floorboards, unfortunately it meant we heard the guests above us each time they walked around!
Very good location, amazing breakfast, friendly staff
Great location and fantastic breakfast
We stayed in a room in the eaves. Would have preferred a room with shower.
Loved the breakfast, the location is excellent and the room was large. I liked the young dynamic staff, and that we were left to ourselves. Small top ups of tea and water each day also appreciated.
Only the early morning bin collection each day was quitr loud but v little you can do about that.
I travelled with my mum , Auntie, husband and kids as my family came over to England for a visit..we took them to rye and we stayed at the Whitehouse. The whole stay was amazing. Great size room , very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was just amazing.
The room size was good. The staff were absolutely lovely.
Noisy floor, but I understand it's a very old building :)
Breakfast and location were absolutely amazing
The bed had a massive dent in it, was not comfortable at all and made it very difficult to sleep
The room was lovely and comfortable, with plenty of room for our two dogs. Tea and coffee in the room, a wonderful bath, staff were very friendly and helpful and the breakfasts in the morning were delicious. Great location
Nothing I would change
CHARMING STAFF. DELICIOUS BREAKFAST. SYLISH BEDROOMS. LOCATION
HOOVER PLUS CLEANING ITEMS HOUSED ON LANDING
Great location. Stellar breakfast. Great bakery. Clean, comfortable.

Fantastic location and superb breakfast, well appointed and decorated rooms. Nice shower
Because the building is very old, you can hear other rooms so we didn't sleep very well
