Our room needs a little upgrading. Room G3. Inadequate water pressure so we did not use the shower. Toilet flush mechanism on the cistern broken but just about operating. Sink plug leaks so you can’t run a bowl of water. Window blinds broken. But the room was clean, the bedding fine and it was ok for our requirements…ie. A place to sleep. Breakfast was very good.

Breakfast was outstanding particularly the sausages. Food was plentiful. There was a choice of fresh fruits, raspberries, strawberries melon , all of which were delicious. I had the vegetarian breakfast which was cooked to perfection and very tasty. Every member of staff we met were very helpful happy and smiley especially Daniel and Violet 😊. Lee the owner of the Lodge is an exceptionally kind generous welcoming man. We will be back in September and can’t wait . Thank you so much for making our stay a happy one . George + Tessa

Nothing at all. Everything was 💯

Room fairly comfortable. Breakfast very good. Buffet system worked very well. We ate at the restaurant on two nights . First time we ordered prawns for a starter but they had run out. Requested what beers they had on draught and were informed only bottled beers available. Apple crumble really good. Second time we both had the fish and chips. Really nicely cooked and both of us had a good sized cod. Location is exceptional as it is handy both for the village, beach and for Rye and Hastings. Local bus passes the front of the hotel/motel which is handy when you do not want to drive. Staff very friendly.

Location was perfect for us, I liked the fact that you have your own access to each room and the breakfast was outstanding. I appreciated the little touches like the outside seating area located around the beautiful water feature complete with fish and an added bonus was I could hear it from my room which aided my sleep. The staff were friendly, especially Violet who was very helpful and efficient and even when she was very busy running round trying to meet everyone’s needs at breakfast time she did so with a smile, she’s a real asset to Winchelsea Lodge.

There wasn’t anything I disliked.

Breakfast was perfect: cooked English b’fast and continental plus plenty of fruit and yogurt. Position of room was overlooking the courtyard surrounding a fountain and pond. There was seating with cushions where you could wait for your friends to join you. The hotel was just on the outskirts of Winchelsea so it was convenient for travel to different places. Plenty of parking. The staff were excellent, efficient and friendly. What more could you want!

For me - nothing - but if a disabled person with a wheelchair chose the room as it had a wet room, access may have been a little difficult into the en-suite bathroom.

We were a group of 6 cyclists doing the Cantii Way cycle route. We arrived drenched after rain most of the day. Check in went fine and we were allowed to store our bikes (including e bikes) inside a spare room, locked for security. The dinner was excellent but the breakfast was even better with a huge selection of cereals, fruit etc. The radiators were red hot and we managed to dry all our gear. The staff were very friendly and extremely helpful to ensure we enjoyed our stay. Rooms were quiet and we got a good nights sleep. If you came by car there were spaces for parking which I believe is free.

A bit isolated with Rye 4 miles away and no transport (except bikes) to reach a wider selection of restaurants. The shower was a bit lukewarm but I suspect it was our operation since others from our party had no problem.

Good location, easy to find. Plenty of parking, bright, clean spacious room. Breakfast included. Room had a little balcony to sit on which was a nice touch as it overlooked the courtyard garden( which is quite pretty). We enjoyed a coffee there at the end of a day's sightseeing. Only 10 minuites drive to Rye. Restaurant on site but check when you arrive as opening times seem to vary. Breakfast was included in our deal and was freshly cooked.

Close to Rye and Camber. Good atmosphere in evening bar on 1st night. Wonderful breakfast both mornings.

No room service meant overflowing rubbish bin. Very loud, roudy bunch in the lounge on 2nd night who proceeded to the neighbouring room to continue their noise into the night. No bedside light in room 6. No local knowledge/map of Rye at reception desk. Need another bathroom shelf, our washbags were on the floor. No cooling fan in the rooms. No tissues. Quite honestly, it should not have a 4 star rating.

Food was good, breakfast was the usual buffet type ,lovely sausages. Staff were all friendly. Room was clean ,bed was a bit firm and possibly due for a new mattress as it did have a bit of a dip. Outside seating was nice. Although it is on a main road there wasn't too much road noise at night, and the views at the back are great.

The stairs to the rooms are a bit dark ,I would imagine difficult to navigate if you have had a few drinks!

The staff were very friendly and welcoming, which made us feel right at home. The room was clean, tidy, and comfortable—exactly what we were hoping for. A peaceful and pleasant place to stay, and we would definitely come again!

The only downside was that the restaurant was closed on Sunday, and we weren’t informed at check-in. Google listed it as open until 10pm, so we ended up having to drive to the next village to find somewhere to eat
