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.
“If I had my way, I’d remove January from the calendar altogether and have an extra July instead.” __ Roald Dahl
We quite like the stillness of January but then again the vitality of July is very fun, especially with all these things to do..
Here’s the latest of What’s On in and around Rye this month:
👻 Guided ghost walks are a fun and fascinating insight into Rye’s supernatural history. Get ready for spooky tales of smugglers, scandal, and spectral sightings. Perfect for brave families, curious visitors, and anyone who loves a good goosebump - Sat 5 July and Sat 19 July.
🎷 Singer and guitarist Nils Solberg returns to The George to play for us, this time accompanied by the saxophonist Al Nichols. Enjoy mellow jazz in the courtyard - 6 July.
👻 “Ghost Written” exhibition at our local @lambhouse_nt explores its literary history in this spellbinding display. Like how Henry James moved there while he was finishing his masterpiece The Turn of the Screw. Discover this and more when curator Kirsty Mitchell discusses Lamb House’s haunted literary legacy with guest literary experts on 17 July.
🔥 For a chance to win an overnight stay with us - become a Dragon member - simply apply for a card if you aren’t one already. All new and existing members will be entered into the prize draw. See our post below for more details.
🎩 40th Anniversary of Appledore’s Classic Car Show, where over 450 beautiful, old restored vehicles will be revving up from across the eras. This picturesque event with vintage-style tea room, food and refreshment stalls, live music, and an auto-jumble sale, is only 15 mins drive away from The George - Sunday 20 July

Is this England or the Praia do Sol? 🇧🇷🌞
Our modest and beguiling coastline is feeling so lush and lovely at the moment.
We hope you can come and enjoy it!
And if sandy beaches are more your thing, Camber Sands is right next door.
