Playden Oasts Hotel

Lovely Oast and not far from Rye. The staff were friendly and the dinner was excellent. We stayed in room 5, which was clean ...the down side the shower was not powerful enough it just trickled out. The bed could do with upgrading no spring to it. I agree the coffee was not good. But overall we did enjoy are time there. I must highlight they have a beautiful inglenook it was a shame it was not functioning. Thank you

Our stay was disappointing - our room smelt very strongly of damp (making our belongings smell) the hallways smelt of cigarette smoke and the walls were so thin we could hear the neighbours conversations and they could hear ours. It was a rather uncomfortable stay, and not worth the price of the room. I wrote to the hotel to complain about our experience, and they quickly got back to me and offered a full refund - I was extremely grateful for their speedy resolution! Potentially, if there was a nice room for a more reasonable amount of money, we would stay again, but we definitely not stay in that room again!

Would stay here again Having read prevous reviews we arrived with open minds. Many of the critical comments made in the last couple of years seem to have been addressed. E.g. the car park, the gardens and the decor. We arrived an hour before the advertised check in time which was not even mentioned as we shown to our roundel room. The room was very clean and the decoration fresh. The bed was large and comfortable and smelt fresh. We enjoyed our evening meal but found the drinks a little expensive, maybe that's the going rate for this area. Breakfast was plentiful and our cooked breakfast hot. Although we were confused that several people requested scrambled egg and were told they couldn't do them as they were short on milk and awaiting a delivery. As we didn't have cereal we donated ours! The only thing we feel worth mentioning is that the roundel really could do with some nets at the windows as there was no privacy unless we closed the slightly too small blind and the curtains.
