Hotels in Rye

From a picturesque cobbled street, step back in time to experience the unique atmosphere of one of England's oldest and loveliest inns. (The Mermaid's doors had been open 150 years when Queen Elizabeth I visited Rye in 1573).

Well frequented by notorious smugglers over the centuries, the Mermaid caters for those who appreciate tradition and charm coupled with modern day comforts.

The Inn has a wealth of old timbers, and open fires, with views through quaint windows to the ancient town of Rye. The cuisine is excellent and many of the ensuite bedrooms have four poster beds - some a resident ghost!
