The staff were excellent and did a great job with a smile regardless of the fact they were short staffed. The room was ok overall, clean and comfortable. The bathroom is a wet room which is fine however mould in the grout lines was taking hold, probably due to being short staffed. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would stay again. (For a third visit)

Comfortable and good location

The bedroom was spacious and clean. On the downside the bathroom was tired looking and the shower control not working so very hot water. Could not use.

My friend and I stayed here as Rye was too expensive. Check is a strict 3pm doors shut. The accommodation was ok. Felt a bit tired but good value for money with a breakfast. Beds and linen comfortable and clean - bathroom a bit tired and shower had no pressure. Overall no complaints for the price of the room. Grounds need a bit of attention.

Unexpected Gem!

We had a great stay! It was a last-minute booking and ended up being such a nice surprise. The room was lovely, and the breakfast was amazing—easily one of the best we’ve had in the UK. The staff were super friendly. We really enjoyed our time there and would definitely come back.

The staff and owner made our stay memorable, their attention to making sure their customers needs were met, the rooms were very clean, the restaurant menu was very good and was freshly cooked. This is an ideal place for artists and bird watchers the view from the room is unbelievable, also the bird life sight and sound is brilliant. Can't recommend the Lodge enough. There are places

Place was ok all in all. Good location, parking was tricky. They don't take peoples car registration so on first night had someone working there knock on the door waking us at 10.45pm asking if a car was ours that had blocked the entrance. Poor thing had to knock on everyone's doors and wake them up to go home. Same thing at breakfast, someone had parked inconsiderately and people couldn't leave. Rooms are ok but tired, clearly able to hear neighbouring rooms. Bathroom shower from the 70's but water pressure good. Electric shower sounded like an aircraft trying to take off. Breakfast poor. Not enough staff to clear tables or restock. Telling people, - no you will have to wait for me to clear tables and now I am too busy" may be honest, but gave a really poor impression. Outside between rooms are quite nice, but the fountain is covered in slime so heavy that run over the edges.
