The Mermaid Inn offers 31 unique rooms, each named after significant figures in the Inn's history. Every room showcases magnificent carved beds and fine oakwood paneling. The second-storey rooms feature curved timbers and dormer windows that provide views of the medieval citadel.
Dining
Dining is available in the 2 AA Rosette Linen Fold Panelled Restaurant, which serves lunch, dinner, and breakfast. Guests can enjoy a range of settings, including the Dr Syn Dining Room and the Boardroom for private meals. The restaurant emphasizes locally sourced ingredients, with an extensive wine list featuring wines from nearby vineyards.
Location
The Mermaid Inn is situated in Rye, just a short walk from historic attractions such as the Rye Heritage Centre and the cobbled streets filled with independent shops. The hotel has an on-site car park for 25 vehicles, while additional public parking options are available nearby. The Marshlink train connects Rye to major cities like Ashford and Brighton, facilitating travel to and from the Inn.
Historical Tours
The hotel organizes guided tours of the 600-year-old building, hosted by owner Judith Blincow on the last Sunday of each month. These tours provide insight into the rich history of the Mermaid Inn and its connection to local smuggling tales. Guests can explore the Giant's Fireplace Bar and view the secret stairway behind the bookcase in Dr Syn's Bedchamber.
Bar and Lounge
The Giant's Fireplace Bar offers a selection of local ales, wines, and over 60 gins, set within a historical context where smugglers once gathered. The bar extends onto three patios, providing outdoor seating for guests to enjoy during warmer months. Two guest lounges, including Dr Syn's Lounge, provide comfortable spaces for relaxation after meals.
