“A 16th-century inn turned into a chic gastropub & hotel in historic Rye. Designer owners have given the place a truly individual touch. Expect vintage finds, patterned wallpapers, copper bathtubs & plenty of character. The bar is popular locally and the pub offers good British fare. A stylish stay.”

The George in Rye
This charming 16th-century inn in the Cinque Port town of Rye is a real delight. Inside, there's an atmospheric locals' bar, a rash of vintage-chic rooms and a modern gastropub restaurant. No wonder it's a firm favourite of Clooney, Costner and other Hollywood movie stars...
