ABOUT US
Whether you’re sipping local sparkling wine in the Dragon Bar, sharing our famous wood-roasted steaks with friends in the George Grill, or taking a cocktail in one of our cosy sitting rooms, unwind and indulge in our wining and dining spaces…
With its abundantly romantic original Georgian ballroom, our historic hotel offers the perfect venue for your wedding day in the heart of rye.
Great Dixter’s Winter Interest Tour is a month from now and we can’t wait to welcome in the first snowdrops of the year.💫
@greatdixterofficial is a vibrant, daring, and immersive garden with a 15th century house restored by Sir Edwin Lutyens.
Leading the way in ornamental gardening, gardening for biodiversity, and horticultural education, it was created by the great gardener and garden writer Christopher Lloyd, OBE, VMH.
Whilst it remains mostly closed until April 1st, thankfully there are some opportunities to visit its extensive gardens during the winter months, including two open weekends in February.
We are lucky to be so near the diversity such seasonal visits offer - it’s about 20mins drive from The George.
Conducting a small group, the Winter Tour will focus on their famous wide variety of snowdrops as well as other winter flowering shrubs such as Daphnes and Hamamellis.🌱
Ticket price includes admission to the garden afterwards or you can simply buy entrance to the gardens on these open weekends.

Embracing the calm of January after the whirlwind of Christmas and New Year. ✨
Our local beaches, Camber Sands and Winchelsea Beach, are beautifully quiet this time of year – perfect for a peaceful escape.
Just over an hour from London, there’s nothing like a bracing beach walk followed by a cosy night at @thegeorgeinrye to beat those January blues. 🌊🛏️
