The George in Rye

We weren’t staying at the George but went there for dinner. A nice feel to the restaurant with helpful staff and good Gluten free options. There’s a good choice of wine although they are not cheap! Scallops were delicious but the accompanying potatoes were scorched a little. Seabass was again very tasty but scorched potatoes detracted from the overall dish. My partner had the gluten free Haddock, batter was excellent and the fish was amazing. Overall a good meal and I would recommend it.

On 26th May 2024, we got married in the courtyard of The George. What an experience! It was faultless and this was down to the excellent staff who managed the day so incredibly well. We arrived the night before to have dinner with friends and family and then enjoyed the most incredible day - the sun shone, the ceremony outside was gleaming and the rooms upstairs (ballroom, long room and green room) were set up so beautifully with all of our personal touches and ideas laid out perfectly. And the food!!!! Just super! What a chef! A review cannot be left without a special mention of Anna and her husband. She is the wedding planner at The George in Rye and is beyond amazing. We planned our wedding in only three months and she had suggestions from everyone from our fabulous celebrant, Mark Caffrey, to our florist Alex Ball. Big shout out to our DJ Paul from Sussex DJs, Katie from Pollen and Ponder and Emma from Make Your Mark Events. Anna treated us like family and nothing was too much trouble. She was in regular contact and made us feel cared for and special. Thank you, Anna. Thank you. We simply cannot recommend this venue enough and our friends and family would second that vote of confidence as everyone had the most amazing day!

I knew it is an old hotel and walking up 43 stairs wasn’t really a problem (although some aren’t good for large feet). The room floor was uneven unsurprisingly in view of the hotel’s age but occasionally I felt as if I was falling! Breakfast is very expensive (in my opinion) so went elsewhere, as I did for dinner. Great shower but my usual gripe is that there were no handles to steady yourself, I’m sure it’s not just older guests who would appreciate those. I didn’t have much interaction with staff but check in was efficient. Happy to find that street parking right outside was free 6pm-9am and then only 95p for two hours.

Lovely lunch in Rye, a special place. Had the fish and chips and the risotto. Followed by the sticky toffee pudding (of course), and the cheese plate. Great service from Ruyman our waiter and nice atmosphere. The George is right at the top of Rye near the Church, and also has rooms.

After a few problems with staffing on the reopening, The George Hotel has definitely turned things around. Dave behind the bar is always welcoming and Ruyman in the restaurant added to our positive experience for lunch. Service was prompt and food delicious. Definitely worth a visit.

We were hoping for a room on the ground floor and the George Hotel is just perfect. It's in the middle of everything and walking distance to anywhere in Rye. Our courtyard room is elegant and comfortable with the best shower ever. Very cozy bed. The patient and friendly staff is welcoming and conscientious. Restaurant and bar staff were helpful and accommodating. This hotel is a gem!

We stayed at The George in Rye on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. Although the hotel was fully booked, it still felt like a luxurious, peaceful oasis. There are so many relaxed, interesting spaces to grab a drink or just relax that we always felt like we had options to explore. We had a fabulous family room overlooking the rear courtyard and it was perfect for 2 adults & 1 child - airy & bright with a lovely sitting area. The rooms are so well designed with each one having an individual personality - you can tell a lot of thought went into all the furnishings & decor. And the bathroom was like a spa, complete with high-quality products. The staff were absolutely lovely from reception to the bar & breakfast teams - fantastic service and made our young daughter feel welcome. We’ll definitely stay again!

We recently had our wedding at the George In Rye and it was absolutely phenomenal. The staff especially Anna and Elton made our wedding. Nothing was too much trouble. They became like family to us. The food was amazing. 🤩 🤍 Rooms were immaculate, the beds are super comfortable. We had our children and they were made to feel so comfortable there also. We Really would recommend everyone to stay and try the George. You will not be disappointed. Five star service!

I spent x2 nights and x3 days in Rye and I couldn't have chosen a better accomodation venue. The staff were amazing, attentive and welcoming especially Georgie on Reception who went above and beyond. The room was lovely and food and drinks heavenly. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an escape to Rye!
