Located on a very good spot. Room is good and clean even though things look kinda old as it is the style of the place. Bed comfy and room not too small. One of our room is on the first floor and probably one of the biggest room but the view is not as expected. Our other room is quite nice, with view of the look out. Our booking come with continental breakfast which is good enough. The staff are kinda stiff then our expectation but it's ok.
The sand between your toes. Sky and beach as far as your eyes can see. Wonderful food made with love. Deeply comfortable beds in beautifully thought out bedrooms. Daily yoga and wellness classes.
This hideaway is located in the center of Rye and offers well-designed rooms, local wines and a restaurant menu infused with Mediterranean zest.

The breakfast was very good , my only small point was that my poached egg was hard boiled . Avery small disappointment so not really worth mentioning . Great atmosphere and the property is presented very well .

Loved the decor which was in keeping with the hotel. The bed was comfy and everything was spotlessly clean. The towels were large and fluffy, a real treat.
We ate dinner at the hotel and enjoyed tasty food, generous portions and our meals were piping hot. Breakfast was equally as delicious, especially the bacon.
Our host, Kim was very welcoming.

Location is lovely. View from room of lawns with rabbits, and a distant oasthouse was gorgeous. All staff we met were efficient, pleasant and good humoured.

A walk around the town of Rye is a must to see all the old buildings and shops.
There are quite a number of restaurants in Rye to choose from. Some of the 'owners' or managers need a course in customer service....Called into one to check his menu and when we said we were just looking he was not so helpful after we said we are just looking for a place for tonight....
However, we stopped into a small cafe for lunch and had great potato soup, which was excellent on a cold day.

A perfect weekend spot.
A perfect weekend spot. There’s lots to see, but it’s manageable in a weekend, with plenty of time built in to enjoy the culinary delights on offer - there are some very good restaurants and cafes. Rye is very hilly and there are lots of flint, cobbled streets, so those with reduced and/or limited mobility may find it challenging to get around. Many of the buildings are listed and so not always the most accessible - don’t let this put you off, but just be aware.

Rye is built on a hill so naturally has steep paths and many steps. However the local council try their best to discourage more elderly visitors by having closed most public toilets and arranging car parking so that visitors staying overnight have to be up early in the morning to get to the car parks at the bottom of the hill by 8.00am or risk a substantial fine. In view of this we would avoid staying overnight in the town in future

We go to Rye a couple of times a year, we either stay at the Mermaid Inn, if they have an offer on. Or The Kings Head. We really like the Kings Head as it is really good value for money & staff are always most polite & friendly. We particularly like Rye for its Character & charm. It is always bustling.
A place for a perfect little break.

A charming town with a bustling vibe, full of independent shops. The restaurants are many and varied. There was plenty to do, even in January, though some attractions, such as the visitor centre was closed (tho online it said it was open). The church and castle are lovely. The church tower has spectacular views all round. Loved it, even in the snow! We were surprised to find a 3 screen cinema, showing films throughout the day and evening - a delight in the bitter cold.

Beautiful town, If you want to stay in a n original Tudor house with modern facilities for an affordable price, this is it.
Parking near, but you can load and unload at the front door. We managed to park on the street every night.
We stayed on the first floor room. The room was clean & tidy. The bathroom, although a tad small, was still roomy enough for us. The bed was OK, a little harder than most we have slept in, but still able to get a good night sleep.
The breakfast was great! The kitchen staff do a great cooked breakfast....
Parking was easy and it is a short walk into the beautiful town of Rye.
Certainly would have no hesitation recommending this Hotel to family or friends to stay here.
Very delicious breakfast served in such a relaxing atmosphere by staff that make you feel very relaxed and welcome. The gallivant isn’t a normal hotel it’s far from it. I’ve never felt so welcome and so relaxed which is all down to the incredibly welcoming and friendly staff which make you feel like you are at a very special place. This is the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at. Thank you to all the staff at the gallivant
Staff were excellent and very friendly. Always smiling. The house was impeccably maintained and spotless. Many extra thoughtful touches, chocolates in room each night, plentiful supply of hot and cold beverages included. Cooked to order breakfast was excellent. Parking was invaluable. A very short walk in to the beautiful medieval town of Rye. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you!
The hotel is a lovely small place with only a few rooms. The rooms are each unique and beautifully decorated with a really comfortable bed. breakfast is included at the tea downstairs and it is amazing. lots of unique options for food and coffees and juice included. The staff is all super friendly and helpful. I will definitely stay there again and will highly recommend it to friends.
The hotel is in an excellent location - lovely views and easy stroll to Rye centre. Only downside is that there is no hotel car park. I managed to park nearby in a side street for a reasonable price.
Included breakfast was excellent - nice to see cheese and fantastic ham in addition to the traditional cooked offerings.
We had a top floor corner room with great views over the town.
Great location in center of town. The hotel was rebuilt a few years ago following a fire and is very up to date with comfortable beds, modern bathrooms etc. We stayed in a junior suite that was very spacious. The staff were all extremely friendly and welcoming. It is very convenient having a restaurant on site and we enjoyed eating both breakfast and dinner there.
Centrally located in Rye High Street. Lovely friendly and welcoming staff. We had the Crumpet room which is a large room in the attic. The hotel is home to a bakery / cafe and all the bread, cakes and savoury items looked amazing. Therefore breakfast was also lovely and generous, with great coffee.
Good location in the centre of Rye, with good access to plenty of restaurants and shops. The welcome pack left by the host was thoughtful and had the basics like milk, eggs and bread + a bottle of wine. Good WiFi and hot water supply.
Great location for exploring Camber Sands and Rye areas.
Being vey close to the centre of Rye the Hotel was a perfect position for wandering the shops and lanes of beautiful old houses. The hotel is old and a little quirky but beautiful inside and very well decorated. Breakfast had a good selection of food, and the staff were exceptionally helpful.
The hotel was in a superb location, ideal for visitors to Rye. The hotel was a bit quirky and quaint but had great facilities and room. Staff were great, friendly, helpful and welcoming. They even arranged an early breakfast because we had an early train to catch.
We had a pleasant stay at Playden Oasts House. The hotel is full of character and the location is convenient for visiting the Rye area. We really enjoyed the meals - both breakfast and lunch - and it was great to hang out in the bar area too.
Practical location, great quality decor, fixtures and fittings. Easy walk in to Rye town and plenty of parking (with a catch). Absolutely immaculate cleanliness, right up there with the very best places we've ever stayed. Impressed!
This lovely 600 year old hotel has an incredible amount of charm and has the best location in the village near the top of Mermaid Street. We loved our room and breakfast was delicious with a generous variety of options.
Excellent value for money, really lovely hotel and pub. The breakfast was amazing! Perfect location, car park nearby which we didn’t think was that expensive either. Highly recommend this hotel for a stay in Rye!
Very nice hotel, fantastic swimming pool indoors, nice breakfast, nice atmosphere. Good parking facilities. Conveniently close to Rye but still out in the country.
