The second storey rooms are particularly intriguing with curved timbers supporting the ceilings which rise to a point above them, while the dormer windows afford a unique view of the citadel of Rye and beyond.

The Mermaid Inn is a genuine example of Tudor architecture and construction, and with the Caen stone fireplaces and wattle and daub walls, is maintained for the experience of the many guests from the United Kingdom and from around the world who stay at The Mermaid Inn every year. None of the rooms are on the Ground Floor.

We offer a variety of room types:

The 31 Bedrooms, are individually featured on our website, listed with images and the amenities on offer.  To book a particular room, or to reserve a room with a shower, then please contact reception directly.

The Mermaid Inn is happy to welcome clean, well behaved pets.  In the interest of hygiene it is our policy that pets do not come into contact with bedding or upholstery by sleeping on beds or chairs.  Pet owners are requested to provide suitable bedding for their pet, and to take care with pet’s water and feed bowls.  There is a £5 charge per pet per night.  This is by prior arrangement.

Dogs are not permitted in any of the public areas.
