we are featured in the July 2016 issue of Prima magazine in their roundup of boutique hotel escapes.
“..this former coaching inn on Rye’s pretty Victorian high street is the real deal when it comes to one-off boutique gems. There’s a buzz about this cosy, yet chic den with its 34 individually-designed bedrooms and its sophisticated restaurant……”
Jane Anderson reckons Room 31 at The George is the coolest family room in the UK. Please see her ‘Trending Now’ article in the May/June 2015 issue of Family Traveller.
“We reckon Room 31 at The George in Rye is the coolest family room in the UK. Tucked round the back of this boutique gem of a hotel, with its own rickety wooden staircase, the converted barn mixes cool Fifties design with wood-clad walls. There’s a vast double bed for mum and dad, a wooden cubby-hole bed for the kids with its own TV and DVD, a stand-alone roll-top bath and immense monsoon shower….”
