We had a brilliant stay in the lookout. It is brilliantly located in Rye and we slept wonderfully. The reception and rooms were modern though the hallway is very tired (it looked like these will be renovated soon.) Great value including a good breakfast. My only complaint is that the tiles in the bathroom were a little mouldy.
