Everything is great, walking distance to everything. Parking not super easy given the limited spaces available around the property, and you have to pay for it - around 8 pounds a day.

I really enjoyed my stay here - beautiful rooms, a great location and it’s a small detail but I really loved the fact that they had small oat milk options with the tea and coffee in the room. Would definitely stay here again.

Great Dog-Friendly Break
we had a fantastic break at a reasonable price too. Lovely staff, very good breakfast, gorgeous, well equipped and comfortable room and beautiful decor throughout the inn. Dog welcome in rooms for a reasonable supplement (with extras provided for it too: bowl and welcome kit) and in the pub. Will come back!

We had a couple comfortable nights stay at The Ship Inn. The room was very spacious and clean. The bed was a little too soft for us, but that's just our own personal preference. Food in the restaurant was amazing with friendly staff and prompt customer service.

Great pub, lovely room.
Lovely pub in the heart of the town, nice selection of beers and great food (cooked breakfast was amazing). We had the suite which was amazing, lots of room, comfortable, clean and well decorated. Bed was large and comfortable, only small downside was the pillows were far too soft for my liking, but I guess that's a personal preference. Lack of free parking was a bit of a pain as well, road parking is available but sparse, and car park next door is handy but not the cheapest (about £8 for 4 hours I think).

Rye is amazingly British. With its cobbled streets to its quaint pubs. The Ship is a great hotel to stay at and to have a drink.
