Comfortable pub hotel and very dog friendly
Our second stay at The Ship. We had a cosy double which was comfortable although quite small for 2 adults and a dog for 3 nights - next time I would book a larger room. Very dog friendly - our dog was very welcomed by all. Service was good and we were well looked after with our favourite table reserved for us in front of the fire. Bathroom was a little dated although clean, and the shower tray did not drain quickly and became a bit blocked (although in fairness we did not raise this to housekeeping to get it fixed). The room was quite warm and overnight did get a bit stuffy - on Saturday night it wasn't an option to have the window open due to some outside pub seats below our window which did mean some noise during open hours. Housekeeping were absolutely lovely and let us have a slightly flexible check out on our last day as my husband's work call ran over (they also put off hoovering the pub until his call was finished). Lovely location and a short walk to the cafes, pubs and shops of Rye. Parking is not included and nearest car park The Strand is £7.30 a day or £4.30 for 4 hours (8am to 7pm every day) - you can buy/top up on Ring-go so don't have to go down each morning at 8am. Free on street parking on Sunday.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Rooms were okay however they smelled like a fried food all the time and the room had a musty smell. Wouldn’t stay if staying for more than a night. Fire alarm also randomly started going off at 1am and all of us had to be evacuated and there was no reason fire hazard apparently.

Really cosy and welcoming!
I booked a quick trip away just for a quick break and from the very start the hospitality was amazing, so friendly and welcoming. The food in the restaurant was delicious and I had a wonderful nights sleep. I brought my dog with me too whom was also made to feel most welcome. I wholeheartedly recommend this Inn and If I travel to Rye again I will no doubt stay there again!

Very spacious and comfortable room. Good choice of tasty breakfasts. Customer service needs improvement, e.g. when I politely asked a member of staff to remove Christmas decorations from a staircase handrail, explaining that I needed to use the handrail because of poor eyesight, a day later (when we departed), this had not been actioned.
