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.
The courtyard terrace at The George has been bathed in some glorious Spring sunshine these past few days.
Protected from the wind, it’s the perfect little sun trap for an aperitivo ..or two!
Cheers to the season for eating and drinking al fresco 🌞

Sunnier days are returning to us again..
As the British Summer Time begins to lighten our evenings and the weather surprises us with some glorious weather, we’re enjoying coffee, barefoot, in a private patio.
Well why not..
How beautiful is this shot by @retrouvius ? ✨
