We enjoyed staying at The Ship as it was not far to walk to train station and hosted several performances as part of the Rye Jazz & Blues Festival. We dropped our luggage off to check other gig locations and returned for lunch. Their Sunday Roast was delicious, accompanied with Yorkshire Puddings, roast veg and gravy and a good chpice of locally produced wines and beer. The staff were friendly, knowledgable and efficient and I'd definitely stay there again.

Quaint but
The inn is quaint and the room has its charms, but like many old inns there is no air conditioning. When we stayed in early August, the evening outside was cool and pleasant, but the room was very warm. Even with an open window and fan, it was hard to sleep.

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
I recently stayed at the ship inn and my experience was far from satisfactory. Firstly, the room was extremely stifling, making it uncomfortable to stay in. There was no adequate ventilation or air conditioning to alleviate the heat, which significantly affected my overall comfort. Additionally, the hotel charged £19 for breakfast, which was an absolute disappointment. The quality of the food was subpar, and the croissant, in particular, was disgraceful. For the price, I expected much better. Overall, I would not recommend staying at this hotel due to the uncomfortable room conditions and the poor quality of the breakfast. There are certainly better options available for the price. Feel free to modify any part of this review to better suit your experience or add any additional details you think are important.

Rooms were extremely hot due to the weather. We were supplied a fan which helped, but if they had a small A/C unit it would have been a more enjoyable stay. Downside was the kitchen ran out of food at 8.30pm so we had to seek dinner elsewhere.

Rye is amazingly British. With its cobbled streets to its quaint pubs. The Ship is a great hotel to stay at and to have a drink.

Great little pub
Really lovely quaint pub, situated in a good location. Very helpful and friendly staff. Bedroom was roomy, bed was comfortable. Shower powerful! They even had oat milk in the room for morning coffee.
