Jeake's House Hotel 

Standing on one of the most beautiful ancient cobbled streets of Rye, Jeake's House Hotel plays host to the discerning guest who wants to recapture the feel of history while at the same time enjoying a high standard of modern comfort and relaxed hospitality.

Each bedroom in this historic building has been individually restored to create its own special atmosphere, combining traditional elegance and luxury with modern amenities. There are brass or mahogany bedsteads, linen sheets and lace. Every room has a direct dial access telephone, television, hairdryer, and hospitality tray. Most have an en suite bathroom, and all provide luxuriously fluffy towels and face-cloths.

• The building is furnished in keeping with its rich history. Wooden floors have settled so that in some rooms it is an uphill walk to bed. In others, the original beams are very low. Doors do not always fit as once they did, and the resident ghosts rustle and creak in the night and the antique furniture distorts with the central heating.

Further Information

Rye itself is a bustling, jovial market town with richly contrasting examples of architecture over several centuries, including old stonework, weatherboarding, and incomparable half-timbering. It boasts a fine museum within the Norman keep of the Ypres Castle, an ancient church with an Elizabethan clock and the last stained glass window created by Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris, art galleries, and potteries.
