We stayed in Rye for a weekend and found the Ship Inn online. It has a great atmosphere, the best breakfast I have ever had and the managers and staff were so friendly and welcoming but also discreet. The rooms were bright, comfortable (although the bed was slightly firmer than i'm used to) and had lots of little quirky touches as did the pub and restaurant downstairs. This made it such a unique place and one where we hope to return soon. We didn't eat in the pub but wished we had as the menu (although small) looked delicious and they also had a function room upstairs which looked so pretty for a 40th party when we were there. The road outside was a little noisy but it didn't detract from the lovely location, lovely hotel/pub, lovely town and lovely people.
