More About Rye Lodge
the citadel was through the medieval Landgate, which still stands not a stone's throw from Rye Lodge.
The hotel occupies a wonderful position on East Cliff, with panoramic views down to the harbour, where the Rye fishing fleet gathers. A few steps away are the bustling high street, Rye Castle and picturesque cobbled streets of quaint Tudor and Elizabethan buildings festooned with flower-filled window boxes and hanging baskets.
Rye Lodge is a labour of love for the de Courcy family and their small, dedicated staff. Relaxation and attention to detail are two key elements in the hotel's ethos - guests can relax, and the service is second to none. There are 18 attractive bedrooms, a friendly bar and a scenic terrace for sunny days. In the elegant marble-floored Terrace Restaurant, guests can enjoy local specialities such as Rye Bay plaice and Romney Marsh lamb, and the extensive wine list features wines from around the world, with 'R' de Ruinart setting the standard as the house champagne!
