Winchelsea is a fascinating historic place. The ancient New Inn is a central part of it.
For a night's stay it's fine: our room was comfortable enough and had a good view.
Breakfast and supper offered average pub fare.
What the New Inn really needs is fresh investment: the public areas are tired and e.g. our TV/ remote was worn out.
Our room was spacious, comfortble and clean. The breakfasts were very tasty and substantial. We ate dinner in the restaurant where the food was delicious with generous portions. The staff were very friendly and attentive. We would highly recommend and would happily stay there again.
Friendly staff. Comfy bed and slept well at night due to being in a quiet area. Good breakfast and bus stop (number 100) right in front of the New Inn.
Amazing staff. Great full english breakfast. Dinner at The New Inn was also good. Nice big room with a view of the beautiful church accross the road. Beautiful small town with a great relaxed feel. Good bed, tea & coffee in the room. Good shower pressure. Bus pick up & drop off right next to the hotel in Winchelsea. Handy to both Rye (10 mins)& Hastings(35 mins)via route 100 bus. Has a lovely outside beer garden.This is a character stay not a new build. As such it had all the quirks & charm you would expect in a building a couple of centuries old. We loved it.
A really lovely place to stay, a perfect quiet and very pretty little village. The pub owners and bar staff were very welcoming and made a wonderful breakfast, and we had dinner there one night too which was fab!
Our stay was excellent and very enjoyable, all as expected for a 4star hotel, very friendly staff nothing was too much trouble, food excellent can’t fault anything except perhaps trying to keep the sash windows open!
Historic premises in the cinque port town of Winchelsea where we stayed for two nights. Hosts and staff most accommodating and friendly. Good food and comfortable en suite room. Church opposite well worth a look.
A pub with rooms situated in historic Winchelsea. Lovely breakfast and dinner avaiable. Spacious room, with view of church. Spike Miligan's tomb is in the church yard.
Wonderful stay in this 18th century coaching inn,
Great hosts Paul and Debs and members of staff Matt, Romilly & James. A lovely room and very good food.
I would highly recommend The New Inn.
The new inn is an excellent place to stay close to rye. The rooms are immaculate. The hosts are friendly and provide excellent service.The food in offer is also very good.
We had a really wonderful time at The New Inn! The location was perfect - right in the middle of Winchelsea which is a quiet, beautiful little town, but only a 5/10 minute drive to Rye.
The room was lovely and really comfortable - one of the most comfortable beds I've slept in! The food was great, and the staff were really lovely and helpful.
All in all a fantastic stay - I'd have no hesitations returning or recommending to a friend :)
