Mermaid Inn online: information and bookings
THE JEWEL IN RYE'S CROWN
Originally, dating from 1156, the Mermaid was rebuilt, much as it still stands today, as the principal Inn of Rye. Now owned by two local residents the Mermaid caters for those who appreciate tradition and charm, coupled with the modern facilities required by today’s guest.
So, from a picturesque cobbled street; step back in time to experience the unique atmosphere of one of England’s oldest and loveliest Inns.
Over the years the Mermaid has been visited by artistes of stage and screen, musicians, politicians of the day and royalty, including HRH Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, HRH Prince Edward, Warren Beatty, Charlie Chaplin, Pierce Brosnan, Andy Garcia and even Johnny Depp. Painters from all over the world have spent many a happy hour with brush in hand, capturing the rare character of this beautiful Inn.
The Mermaid has 8 four-poster bedded rooms, 15 double / twin bedded rooms, 5 family and 3 single bedded rooms. The Elizabethan Chamber, a large panelled room with a magnificent carved four-poster bed, is our most requested room for the true romantics whilst Four rooms are particularly requested, especially at Halloween, due to the Ghost Stories attached to them, dating back to the 18th century, when smuggling was at its height. (The Mermaid appeared on the first ever series of ‘Most Haunted’)
All rooms have direct dial telephone, LCD television,tea/coffee making facilities,hairdryer and private bath/shower room. The Inn has 24 hour service and porterage.
