A sixteenth-century coaching inn thoughtfully renovated and creatively reimagined as a luxurious retreat in the centre of Medieval Rye.
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.
Looking for some gifts that support artists and local businesses?
Then feast your eyes on these gorgeous gifts 🤩🎁
The prodigiously talented Nicholas Hughes, one of our long-term collaborators, is the man behind the playful drawings which illustrate our menus. He is also the creator of our beautiful hand-drawn and distinctive “Mappa Rye”, which welcomes guests to their rooms with its imaginative illustration of our historic town.
Happily, we have just received stock of the “Mappa” printed on organic linen/cotton blend tea towels – so now you can own your own piece of art as a memento of your stay with us, or gift it as a stocking filler.
To present your presents in style, @nick_qs has also designed our very own colourful Christmas wrapping paper this year. Available for sale at reception. We will be donating a percentage from the sales to our nominated charity.
In our reception you can also find a selection of George gifts for the home including a diffuser made in collaboration with @hunterjonesstore
Merry Christmas!
