Friendly staff, lovely location and oast house part of building had great character. Tasty dinner and breakfast. Mattress was worn out and offered no support. Bathroom would benefit from an extractor fan - bath sealant moldy. Hardly any water pressure at shower head. Could do with refresh.

Generally very good, Very tasty evening meal , nice breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff. Only problem was the en-suite! The shower only produced a trickle of water and the sealer around the bath was dirty and needed to be renewed.

Lovely inviting and short walk into Rye

Friendly staff and clean room. Good night sleep. The outdoor furniture in the beer garden needs some maintenance or replacement.

Sadly we didn’t have a great experience

We stayed in room 3, the round walls and bed were superb. Great choice of teas on the welcome tray. Freestanding lions feet bath, pressure low for the shower but another lovely feature. We had dinner and breakfast, good selection and large portions.

Nous avons eu la chambre ronde avec un lit rond, une baignoire dans la chambre. Magnifique. Excellent Full English Breakfast.

Limited breakfast menu Room was cold The fire door was left open in room Bar was shut so couldn’t get no drinking water for coffee or tea in room Placed felt tried

Meeting up with lots of my relatives was great. Yes, the room was clean, but the kettle was not working for my early morning cup of tea (I didn't use it the previous evening)! The staff were efficient, sympathetic and friendly, but were unable to get a replacement kettle to me. Also, when I booked, I did say that I needed a gluten-free diet but the biscuits in the room were not gluten-free! I consider that the cost for one night's stay was expensive, being the full price for two people in a double room. I was by myself and I feel that there should have been some reduction for single usage. (I should have asked for a second breakfast to take home with me!) If there is another family get-together in the future, in view of all the above, I will not book into The Playden Oasts Inn, unless, of course, it is at a much fairer price and/or I receive some compensation for my loss. Thank you. Pam Radford (Miss)

Bathroom was tiny but probably in keeping with the type of property!

Pleasant enough but not particularly memorable or special.

It was a lovely spot near Rye. Very green, quiet and lovely accommodating staff.

Lovely staff and amazing breakfast

Very old building, we stayed in the round room. Spacious, comfy bed and lovely and cool if you have the door and window open (we were in a heatwave!! ) fan provided too. Shower was a real let down, took forever to run through, had no umph whatsover. The whole bathroom was quite "tired" and could do with a bit of work done to it. The restaurant food was ok, but i can recommend the fish cafe in Rye, very nice! Mixed reviews on breakfast, the cooked breakfast i had was a little on the crispy side, my husband ordered scrambled eggs and mushrooms and was told as it was brought out that there was no mushrooms. No offer of a replacement! Also good to note that it is at the top of a long steep hill, that goes into rye. Ok if youre driving, but if you have mobility issues, definatley going to be an issue.

Everything about our stay could not be faulted. Friendly reception on arrival. Told all we needed to know straight away and made to feel very welcome. Separate restaurants as we had our dogs with us and we were the only ones in ours but still were treated very attentively. Good varied menu with several specials on offer. Prices are reasonable and on par with others offering a similar service. Breakfast was a limited offering but still very good. The character of the hotel is everything. It is an ultimately an old farm building after all and it is everything you would hope for. Modern where it needs to be but still retaining its heritage.

The main building of the hotel is made up of 2 Oast houses so on first impressions it’s easy to get excited. Unfortunately that’s where the positives really end. The bar and restaurant are located in the Oast houses and are tired and in need of modernisation. The accommodation block looks as if it was built in the sixties and very little has changed or been done since then. The room was basic yet clean and comfortable although it’s difficult to understand the shower in a cupboard. The food on offer was very much pub food and I would question how much was freshly produced on site. However the little restaurant was busy. It’s very difficult to fault the Playden Oasts, it’s just all in need of being modernised and the silk flowers and other accoutrements removed.

We stayed in one of the roundel rooms in the Oast House which was quaint. Nice welcome and staff were helpful.

The hotel was awful. Everything was old dusty and tatty. Was like some out of the 70’s. I was charged a lot for the room and given the amount this is the worst hotel experience I have had. Mouldy smell, barely there shower. Just terrible. Avoid.

friendly staff

Lovely place to stay if you want something different, very oldie worldie , bar and restaurant quaint and cosy. Had a really delicious and well presented evening meal.
