A beautiful Elizabethan building and full of charm. The bar is a cosy place to spend a cold winter evening near the fire. The staff were lovely and so was the restaurant (book in advance). The car park is a bit of a challenge but helpful staff sort it out. For a weekend in Rye, it’s where you have to... More

We enjoyed our stay at the Mermaid Inn. The check-in staff were friendly and our room was clean and cosy. The hotel is full of historical character and wonky staircases which really adds to the atmosphere. The only thing that we found disappointing was on returning to the hotel after our evening meal, we were looking forward to a night... More

We recently returned from a week long visit to the Mermaid, where we now go annually. As always, it was a delightful experience. We were especially pleased to discover that our usual room had a brand new bathroom that is just lovely. Apparently the owners are in the process of replacing all of the sinks/tubs etc. throughout the building, and... More

We would like to thank you all so much for making our stay so special. In particular to the chef for attending to my wife's dietary requirements which included making a tasty gluten free loaf (not easy to achieve) an ensuring that there was plenty of flexibility in the cooking process which left far more choice than is usual when...

We stayed in the Nutcracker - room 5 - which is a family room with a very comfortable double bed and a single bed in one part, separated... More

We have wanted to stay at The Mermaid for years since we had a dinner there which was really fantastic. Anyway, this weekend we did it. The hotel is one of a kind. Do not go there if you need air-con a fitness suite and a pool because they were not part of what happened in the 14th Century! The... More

We had our wedding reception at the Mermaid 10 years ago and returned with friends including our best man and his wife. The whole experience was magical from the early evening welcome in the exquisite bar through an incredible meal etc.until the checkout next day. We cannot thank the staff enough for the whole package. For the first time in... More
