The staff were very friendly on check in. Room was very clean could have done with a chair. The mini fridge and breakfast basket in the room was a very pleasent surprise. Restaurant is not open most days anymore due to no chef. Pubs coffee shops and takeaways are very close to the hotel to get a meal.

We went to the hotel under difficult circumstances and were overwhelmed by the staff at the pub. Friendly, kind and could not help you enough.
Fraser the manager has a slick run ship, supported by a wonderful team. Caroline in particular was just outstanding. She is a credit to the company. So much so that we have also booked to stay there New Year's Eve to lap up the atmosphere again.
The team at a joy to be around and the staff are people who have that extra thing that you can't train...

Charming pub in a very good location in Tenterden high street - excellent if visiting Chapeldown or the Kent and Sussex Railway. Our room was very spacious and the bed was super comfy. Staff were very friendly, breakfast was good. and a secure car park is included with the stay.
Would highly recommend

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT !
I cannot fault this hotel in ANY way - we stayed for 2 nights ( having done a day trip to France via the Euro Tunnel ) and absolutely LOVED it ! ( and would most DEFINITELY come back again )
The indoor swimming pool and whirlpool were AMAZING, as was the breakfast ! - ALL you could possibly want ASWELL I as a cooked English ! What more could you ask for ?
If you were to ask me to sum this hotel up in 1 word it would be -
PERFECT !

We spent four nights at the Royal Wells Hotel at the end of a 10 day holiday in Kent.
The hotel was perfect, excellent service from every staff member we met, delicious food with the best breakfast choice of any hotel we've stayed in. The room was spacious, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. We would definitely recommend the hotel and would stay here again if we visit the area in the future.

I was really pleased with the Ship,vand a couple of other reviews didn't do it credit at all, in fact I thought the reviewer must have stayed at a different place . It was a last minute business trip, one night stay and the price and location were really good. I had booked a deluxe double but my meeting was called forward by one day so I had to rebook through here and only a standard was available that night, that having been said the room was fine. Yes, it is a 16th Century Inn so the rooms...

The staff were very welcoming,friendly and served a delicious Vegetarian Breakfast in record time.Rye is a delightful place with lots to see, do,and places to eat and drink.Not to mention the lovely array of independent shops.I would certainly return to the Old Borough arms as I loved the relaxed feel and having your own key to come and go as you please was a real bonus.Far preferable to staying in a hotel,although it had that hotel air about it with a proper iron and board,tea and coffee making...
