Nice enough, needs a bit of a renovation - food a bit average
Pros:

The staff were lovely and check in and check out was very easy. I didn't use the facilities like the gym or pool.

Cons:

It's a bit tired - the food sounds great on the menu, but doesn't follow through. I had a 'king prawn cocktail' but was just bog standard (probably frozen) prawns, and I had a gammon steak which was also disappointing. The room was tired, although very convenient and having everything needed.

We was expecting a bit more from the pricing of the room (£169) However, with the issues stated this definitely didn’t m
Pros:

Bed was comfy, easy check in and check out.

Cons:

Poor toilet and bathroom facilities, loose taps, plug sockets and lights. The door didn’t have a handle on it, neither did it shut properly.

Charmantes Land-Hotel
Pros:

Sehr charmantes Landhotel mit schönem Garten.
Wir hatten ein Komfort Zimmer mit einem bequemen Kingsize-Bett.
Sehr schöne Räumlichkeiten zum Essen in einem schönen Wintergarten, wo auch das Frühstück serviert wird. Freundliches Personal.

Es gibt ein Schwimmbad und ein Fitnesscenter im Haus.

Ausreichende Parkmöglichkeiten am Hotel.

Die Lage eignet sich gut, um diverse Sehenswürdigkeiten in der Gegend zu besuchen.

Cons:

Die Zimmer sind sehr hellhörig, man hört die Leute nebenan sogar sprechen.
Bei unserem Badezimmer war der Wasserhahn total locker und Einstellung zwischen warm und kalt funktioniert so gut wie nicht- seltsam dass der Zimmerservice sowas nicht reparieren lässt. Der Wasserdruck beim Duschen sehr mäßig.

Das Essen im Restaurant ist gut, die Küche aber teilweise überfordert mit extrem langen Wartezeiten, frühstück gibt es nur à la carte, Preise dafür ziemlich hoch.

Dog-friendly, Georgian-era country house for a country-side stay, with spa and pool facilities
Pros:

The staff are very lovely, courteous and helpful, whether it was the reception, the dining room or spa. The grounds which the Hotel is situated is tranquil, with a lawn around the back and sides, with tables, deck chairs (in May) catching the sun until later afternoon. The trees were green, and many birds chirp in the background, especially during the early hours of the morning. There were a few dogs staying at the Hotel, and residents were able to dine with their dogs, as I saw during one evening meal at the restaurant. The Hotel also has a dog dining menu in he restaurant. I decided to have a dog-free weekend and left my pup with the dogsitter, but it was nice to see such a dog-friendly Hotel.

Taxis know the Hotel well, and is approximately 10 mins drive from Rye train station. The bus stop is a 1 min walk (if that) from the Hotel, and I found them to be mostly on time according to the schedule. You can buy a bus ticket online - which is slightly cheaper than on the bus - be sure to activate the ticket just before boarding. Very convenient.

The dinner meal delicious - the steak was cooked nicely, good amount of pink and tender. Their sauteed vegetables were also a favourite - tender with a good bite. Dining in the conversatory has good views of the garden, if you dine before it gets too dark. The atmosphere is relaxing and unpretentious; just remind the staff you want a steak knife and they were very happy to oblige.

Cons:

Given the age of the Hotel, a few aspects were not conducive to a quiet stay / sleep in my room on the first floor. The floorboards creak, my 4-poster bed creaks, the neighbouring room creaks. The walls have minimal soundproofing so chatter and discussions come through as murmurs, and the exhaust fan from the neighbours bathroom whirrs noisily whenever it is activated - one morning, it was on for about 2 hours from 6am.

While the bathroom felt modernised or recently refurbished, the bedroom needed some touch ups, as cracks were visible. The hot water takes 2-3 mins to get warm and the pressue is somewhat lacking.

The Hotel is serviced by local buses, but the schedule is infrequent, so be prepared a bus is not available when you want/need it - the Hotel has a number of taxi business cards so grab a few to take out with you. I did look up Uber, and while available, the local taxi usually was cheaper - most taxi charged a flat rate of £15 between the Hotel and the station.

A beautiful hotel, beautiful location, thank you
Pros:

We stayed in a twin room on the first floor, we walked in and it was soo perfect, the view from the window overlooking the gardens was such a treat. The room was spacious, loved the little table by the window, we had a beautiful stay. The swimming pool facilities were a real treat, we felt so relaxed during our stay. Thank you very very much to all the staff, you were all beautiful too.
