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.

I had such a lovely stay that I didn’t want to leave! My room was large and bright, very clean, as was the attached bathroom. Breakfast each day was delicious, I had a great view, and I felt safe and well taken care of. Beautiful medieval streets and boutique shopping are all easily within short walking distance. I would definitely stay here again.

Absolutely loved my stay here. I had a top floor room with windows on each end, which made for a gorgeous view. Watching the sunset from this room will be a memory I will never forget . The room had beautiful bedding and a bath tub which is always a plus. The bed wasnt the most comfortable but it wasnt too much of a problem. I would definitely stay here again if I am lucky enough to come back to Rye!

A fantastic location with very friendly staff. However the hotel could do with some refurbishment as generally looked a bit tired (stained carpets, dirty walls, cracked mirror).

A great and convenient place to stay
On arrival the receptionist was very helpful and friendly. Gave us lots of information. We were upgraded to a kingsize but although the room was clean and had all the facilities it could do with some TLC. I understand rooms are being revamped. All staff were help and friendly and always ready to help.The hotel in in a great position for visiting the town and we would certainly book another trip here with no hesitation. Thank you all at The Lookout for a very enjoyable break.
