Peaceful quiet and calm, we do not have children here under the age of 14. You will never see a wedding here unless you know the bride and attend as a guest. We specialise in couples celebrating anniversaries and special occasions. We never do breakfast before 9am and can be as late as 10am. If you want to arrange champagne in the suite or a romantic dinner for two please let us know. A typical weekend is just four guests, we offer secure parking within gated grounds which overcomes any parking issues which can be a challenge if you were staying within Rye citadel itself. A short walk of around 700 yards to Rye high street ensures just enough exercise if you decide not to use your car which is the choice most of our guests make, Rye is well supported by taxis. For Guest accommodation we have two suites, groups of friends can mingle or not as the occasion dictates. The Rother Valley and Royal Military have their own access to come and go as you please. The two suites if booked together also benefit from having a lockable adjoining door and corridor. We do have additional facilities for up to 12 guests which are available. The large bedrooms are all on suite. For larger groups such as a family anniversary or significant birthday there is a lounge area available with some of the rooms which creates a home from home feeling. There is not a lounge for the Rother Valley or Royal Military suite. Your family will be able to relax and enjoy themselves with magnificent far reaching views. We can arrange catering for larger parties which could include a marquee in the grounds. We are located only 20 minutes from Ashford international train station and around an hour from London by train or rail.

We have run guest accommodation here since 2008. We pride ourselves on being engaging and taking an interest in helping guests have a great time in the Rye Bay Area. If you prefer the anonymity of a large impersonal hotel this will not work here. It's our home which our Guests generally understand. Unlike a hotel we do not have a reception desk and staff, we do everything ourselves. We welcome visitors from all over the World and understand cultural differences.
