Food overpriced, only luke warm when delivered to the table, roast potatoes didnt even look as though they had been in the oven for more than a couple of minutes. Not recommended to eat here. more

We stayed in Rye last Monday and didn't fancy the hotel menu. We walked through the town and read all the menus: The Ship Inn's stood out a mile. My partner had curried carrot and parsnip soup which was divine, really spicy, followed by sole and the toffee apple sunday. I had pigeon salad followed by ham hock and chutney.... more

My wife and I spend a brilliant weekend (our wedding anniversary) in Rye staying at the Ship Inn. Having stayed in accomodation ranging from youth hostels to the Dorchester, this is with out doubt one of our favourite places. The room we had was almost shiningly clean, with the most comforable bedding and pillows I have every had. The food... more

A friendly welcome on arrival and lovely rooms with the added touch of Burt's Bees, we loved it!! The food you cannot fault, all in all a simply brilliant hotel in a top location. Thank you. more

I just came back from a great weekend spent at the Ship Inn. Having visited in December, a group of friends decided on a weekend beach get-away and once again the Ship didn't disappoint.

I've stayed at The Ship twice now and been bowled over both times. As people have said, the food is ace (especially breakfast). It's cosy without being twee, and a little bit cool without being pretentious. The staff were lovely, and the whole place just made for a really relaxing weekend. Rye and Camber Sands are really special, and The... more

On arrival at The Ship Inn (3pm) my wife and I were told that our room wasn't ready so we sat patiently and took the opportunity of selecting a meal from the menu. We each chose a burger and (a few) chips which set us back £9 each. Whilst eating our burger and chips we noticed what looked like a... more
