I liked the idea of staying in this 14th/15th Century House and getting away from standard, boring hotels . We stayed in the Winchelsea Room because I knew (because Mary had told me that the ceiling was low but at 1.75m) I should be small enough to enjoy the ambience. Yes I did have to duck to get in the... More

We have been here five times before, and it never disappoints. Mary and Hugh take great pains to ensure a welcome and keep Strand House a welcoming and friendly environment. Do ignore complaints about beams - that is all very much part of the charm. We keep coming back not least for Mary and Hugh's attention to detail, the comfort... More

Strand House is full of character and a delightful bolt hole. If you want bedrooms of bland uniformity then this is not the place for you. Bedrooms and bathrooms vary in size which reflect the historic nature of the property which dates from the fourteenth and fifteenth century. While each room is different however, all are delightful. Mary and her... More

My wife and I decided to get out of London for a long weekend and the Strand House was recommended in a well known guide book as a place that welcomed dogs, which is important to us. We also checked on Trip Advisor to see what the reviews had to say. We arrived early afternoon and Mary welcomed us with... More

I stayed here in March 2011 to celebrate my 40th Birthday with some friends. Mary, Hugh and Kevin couldn't be more helpful and accommodating. The welcome was wonderful and the rooms very well appointed and charming steeped in history. Bathrooms are a little small but that is all part of the glorious charm. Rooms all have beams so tall people... More

We have just spent a lovely and romantic weekend at the Strand House, Winchelsea. The rooms are lovely and quaint, the staff are friendly and hospitable. The ambience is restful, calm and inviting. The food was excellent and all locally sourced, cooked fresh to order. Highly recommended. More

If you're looking for an historical building, typically english and close to the charming city of Rye, just stay at the Strand House. Nice rooms, original details and a wonderful english breakfast. We stayed in the Marsh room, very nice but the bathroom (let's say shower room) was very small) We visited for the Rye bonfire, a wonderful experience with... More

A stunning location in the country down by the South Coast in Winchelsea. The place is very well preserved and the rooms are just stunning. Breakfast is also extremely tasty. Only comment is the other guests are all a bit old - not that you have to spend time with them. It is a great location to explore the coastal... More

My boyfriend and I stayed in the new suite which is separate to the House. It has just been built and it's stunning! We woke up to sunshine and nature every day. Full breakfast on the lovely balcony. It is beautifully decorated and the service was great and very friendly. I really recommend this if you are looking for a... More
