About The Lookout Rye

Rye's cobbled lanes and clifftop views make it one of East Sussex's most distinctive small towns, and The Lookout Rye sits right in the thick of it on Hilders Cliff. The hotel gives guests an easy base for exploring the town on foot, with free on-site parking taking care of the practicalities if you've arrived by car.

The hotel has 19 rooms, each fitted with air conditioning and drinks, and there's a lift for those who'd rather skip the stairs. Guests can start the day with breakfast on site, and the restaurant and bar cover meals and drinks without needing to leave the building. An indoor swimming pool is a welcome extra, along with free WiFi, laundry service, luggage storage and concierge help for planning your stay. Meeting rooms are also available for anyone combining business with the trip.

Beyond the hotel, Rye itself offers plenty of pubs, restaurants and entertainment within easy reach, and further afield Port Lympne Wild Animal Park makes for a good day out if you're looking to venture beyond the town.
