Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Jeakes House was wonderful. The staff were so helpful. The rooms are beautifully furnished, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was superb.
Stunning place. Excellent breakfast. Lovely people.
Oodles of character! Well located in a beautifully cobbled street in the historic centre of Rye and close to the shops. Great staff made us feel welcome from arrival to departure. Great breakfast and bar area. There is parking nearby. Am not sure about the ghosts!
There wasn't anything we didn't like.
room very spacious and clean. lovely coffee and tea making facilities. Location could not be better for exploring Rye. Car Parking an extra bonus and so near to hotel. BREAKFAS AMAZING. SO MUCH CHOICE.
had a little bother with the TV on the first night but sorted on the 2nd night.
Beautiful and well looked after
The steep stairs!
Fantastisk personale, som gjorde alt for at oppholdet vårt skulle bli bra. Kjørte oss til og med til stasjonen da vi skulle reise. Rent og pent. Deilig frokost. Et fantastisk hotel med mye sjarm. Som å bo i et "levende museum".
Det eneste negative var trykket på vannet. Vanskelig å skylle såpe ut av håret.
Wunderschönes altes Haus mitten in der Altstadt Das Frühstück ist hervorragend!
Mit der Matratze waren wir gar nicht zufrieden
Lovely lady makes breakfast in the morning
Lovely location in the centre of Rye. We had a lovely big room at the back of the hotel. I really enjoyed sitting on the window seat looking at the view. The staff were very friendly and breakfast was amazing with lots of choice. We made good use of the honesty bar which was a nice touch.
Nothing
The style and location
The top floor bedrooms got too hot and fan not strong enough
Room was lovely. It was clean and very comfortable. Breakfast was superb. All the staff were friendly effiecent.
Steps up and down to our room. The apothercarys room.
Staff absolutely lovely. Breakfast excellent and our room was beautiful.
I booked as it stated no dogs allowed. I do not want to stay in a room a dog has been in as I have an allergy to their fur. We came down to breakfast and a dog was under the breakfast table. I was the told that dogs are allowed in all rooms except for 1. It is very wrong to advertise on booking. com no dogs allowed if you do allow them. It is a very beautiful house but we will not return.
Det var så koselig med nydelig frokost, utrolig koselig frokostsal og flotte rom! Ikke minst- hyggelig betjening.
Ingen ting jeg mislikte
Gorgeous surroundings and every room seems to have its charms. The breakfast was a delight.
Very central and convenient. Offers parking and breakfast is excellent. Liked the honesty bar and the room was very clean, comfortable and the en-suite was wonderful
WiFi was a bit temperamental
Excellent location, helpful.and friendly staff, very good breakfast. Nothing to complain about at all, variable Wi-Fi only to be expected in such a building in Rye.
Superbe B&B situé dans une ville charmante avec excellent petit déjeuner.
Les équipements un peu vetustes Obligation de rester 3 jours minimum
The gorgeous room, comfy beds, quite rooms, and wonderfully clean. Fabulous breakfast and service was outstanding.
Lovely guest house clean and quiet Lovely breakfast too
Maybe rooms could be a difficult to access if you had mobility difficulties. But the house is of certain age that's how it is
Location. The building itself. The history behind it. Facilities. Staff. Breakfast.

Excellent room with great en suite. Loved the view and communal areas ie snug and beautiful honesty bar 100% recommend and will visit again
Nothing was brilliant
Fantastic location, excellent room and facilities, wonderful breakfast and amazing hospitality
All great.
Character
La ubicación es perfecta, el desayuno buenísimo y la casa tiene mucha historia.
Es importante saber que para acceder a las habitaciones hay que subir dos pisos de escaleras muy empinadas y estrechas. La bañera era bastante incómoda para ducharse, había que sentarse dentro para poder hacerlo con comodidad.
A great welcome at the front door, very friendly & local knowledge. A gorgeous hotel with more history you can imagine! Fabulous rooms & breakfast.
Nothing we didn't like, superb location in Rye. We will certainly return as 3 days isn't enough time to see everything. Just be careful on the cobbles on Mermaid Strret!
Jeakes is a classic Georgian Town House Hotel it has oodles of charm and character, and it has some less common traits in the modern era, things like the honesty bar and courteous and engaged inhouse team
It is to be expected in a property that dates back to the first half of the 16 hundreds, but air conditioning was missing, that said they did everything possible in what is no doubt a listed building to help reduce the fierce sweltering summer heat, providing fans and ensuring curtains were drawn to reduce room temperatures
Beautiful old home, well cared for
Prachtige setting en heerlijk ontbijt.
Historic and quirky
Some of the stairs particularly up into Elders Room were extremely difficult- quite dangerous for older people.
Breakfast was wonderful, stuff was very professional and polite, wonderful town to walk around. Plenty of places to drink and eat.
Walking on big pebbles in some streets is bit of challenge but I guess it's part of history.
Very comfortable room, very clean , great breakfast
A very warm welcome, immediately made us feel comfortable! Showed us up to our room and was very knowledgeable about everything! I loved the relaxed atmosphere and the non invasive way the staff work around you! Breakfast is the best we've ever had! Lovely view from our room! Tea and coffee making facilities WITH BISCUITS (that made my day) and topped up each day of our 3 night stay! Clean bedding, lovely smell of softener on the pillow cases haha! Chocolate by your bed each day, nice touch! Nice toiletries in the bathroom and gorgeous, fluffy white towels! Attentive cleaners and super helpful when we couldn't get our TV to work
Our bed dipped alot on one side and we would have liked the offer of a bigger room as we were in the attic it felt like! That's the only downside of our stay, everything else was perfect and the staff are brilliant!
Everything! Atmosphere, historical building, location, friendliest staff, breakfast, room with unique character
There was nothing to dislike
Ruime kamer
Geen airco, alleen de badkamer raam ging open. De dubbele bed was een twijfelaar! Hele style trap , geen lift.
Breakfast, room, staff were lovely, honesty bar available, great location. Terrific place
Be aware bathroom was snug although the facilities within were perfect
Pleasant place. Friendly staff. Lovely food.
Unikt gammelt hus med høy standard og koselige små rom.
Excellent breakfast with brilliant and interesting choices. Lovely staff. Beautiful rooms and general decor. Fantastic location
Bathroom was a little snug
It was a great location. Very comfortable. Lovely breakfast
Ontbijt was geweldig.
Kleine badkamer.
Very central location, incredible breakfast
Building is old building and it was understandably very hot so could have done eith a fan
The staff we super friendly and very helpful. The breakfast was fantastic especially that they could accommodate the fact I’m gluten free. The bedroom was beautiful furnished.
Gluten free biscuits would have been nice to have in the bedroom.
Beautiful, historic, lovely experience, perfect location
Room was warm but it is a heatwave
Gorgeous breakfast - the room, food and place setting china were perfect
Breakfast excellent.
Beautiful property right in the heart of town. Great location, the staff were lovely and good breakfast and parking included.
The room was very hot but we did stay during the middle of a heatwave so it's to be expected especially for such an old building
Lovely property feels different and special. Staff very helpful and friendly. Room clean and sympathetic to age of property. Honesty bar gives a relaxed place to enjoy without any pressure. Amazing breakfast.
Nothing.
This place was amazing, great atmosphere, excellent food, it's own bar, relaxed and helpful staff.
Everything was excellent and probably the best breakfast menu I have ever seen. Beautiful room, great location, friendly staff. The honesty bar is a very nice touch.
We can't think of anything for us although it is perhaps not the place to stay if you have difficulty going up and down stairs. It is a wonderful old building, several houses joined together so there are a number of steep, old staircases to negotiate.
the only place to stay in Rye, for that real Oldy world charm right in the centre of everything. cannot recommend enough. the period features but also the excellent staff and great breakfast. Great parking too
nothing
Beautiful boutique hotel with friendly owners and staff. Great location for walking to a variety of bars and restaurants. Highly recommend for a stay in Rye
Great place to stay great staff
Such an amazing place. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Breakfast was amazing.
Friendly and efficient, it’s a privilege to stay in this beautiful house on such a picturesque street.
Wonderful place to stay in the heart of Rye. Beautiful decor, comfortable beds & super friendly staff. There is an honesty bar which is a nice touch. Breakfast is delicious! All you need for a great stay.
Amazing period property, in a stunning setting
Excellent service, excellent breakfast, excellent location for access to town centre and local eateries. Very quirky building with loads of history.
Nothing really
Zeer mooie en heel propere kamer. Het hotel is gelegen in een van de mooiste straten van het historische dorp.
Amazing historic central location, wonderful people, great breakfast, comfortable room
The location was perfect, 10 minute walk to town centre. Lots of choice for eating out. Staff very welcoming and efficient. The premises are very old and quirky
Because of the quirky nature of the building it would probably not be suitable for those with mobility issues as getting up the stairs can be difficult with sharp turns and steep gradient
The hotel was fabulous. The rooms were very attractive and spacious. The bed was extremely comfortable. There was plenty of wardrobe and drawer space also. We were on the top floor which if you had mobility issues could be problematic as there was a very steep and windy staircase. The hotel has a very interesting history and is decorated beautifully in keeping with it's age.
I have absolutely no complaints at all.
Tout!!! L’hôtel so British! Les chambres avec papier peint et tissus Laura Ashley ! Tout avec un goût exquis et les hôtes Doris et Curis adorables!!

Moim zdaniem w upalne dni klimatyzacja w pokoju na ostatnim piętrze jest niezbędna , niestety mały wentylator nie wystarcza w upalne dni.
A lovely building and room, great breakfast, and very friendly staff (including Norman the dog)

Emplacement exceptionnel. Village inoubliable Petits déjeuners digne d’un grand chef Décor très BRITISH
Non conseillé aux personnes handicapées
A well run, clean hotel in an excellent location with a good breakfast. Staff very pleasant and helpful.
No instructions how to turn up heating or change television channels.
Highly recommended - we absolutely loved everything about our stay: the 16th century building, the love and care that goes into everything, the staff, the honorary bar and the fantastic breakfast. This is a gem and we hope to return.
The staff was friendly and very helpful, all of them. Best breakfast we have had in the UK. Location is perfect. Close to everything but just off main street so no noise. We are giving this place our top rating of all places we have stayed.
Such a charming house, staff couldn't be more helpful, excellent location for the heart of the town, the breakfast was the best we have had, we will definitely return just love Rye
We loved everything
ontbijt-personeel super, locatie hygiëne kamer badkamer goed.
jammer wij hadden een kamer zonder badkamer, badkamer was andere kant gang en niet praktisch schuin lage plafond, zeker voor mijn lengte van 1.90m niet mogelijk om te douchen goed voor 2 nachten maar niet langer.
Beautiful location and beautifully decorated. The staff were excellent and the breakfast was delicious.
Nothing
Location was excellent, staff were very helpful. Lots of stairs to top floor was difficult for me, but the bedroom was worth it.
Just the stairs
Wonderful place situated right in the heart of Rye. It had been restored beautifully with authentic decour and the breakfast in the morning was phenomenal. Staff were extremely friendly and welcoming and the room was spacious and comfortable. The location was also nice and quiet so no concerns about noise and not being able to go to sleep.
My only issue was with the fact that the room didn't have blackout curtains and light poured in before 6am in the morning making it difficult to sleep. Otherwise couldn't fault this place and would definitely stay again.
The history of this hotel is wonderful & its location is easily accessible to much in Rye walking. The hosts were outstanding in care for guests, as well as staff, going above & beyond! The full gourmet breakfast was completely delicious, homemade & made to order!
An exceptional hotel, perfect location, friendly staff and an excellent stay
