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.

The location is stunning with rural views all around. The double room we had was a good size with the most stunning view out of the window with perfectly placed comfortable chairs at the window so we could enjoy a cup of tea while enjoying the stunning view at sunrise. The bed was clean and comfortable and the bathroom spacious with very hot water. The TV was modern and the WiFi was good. The staff were very accommodating, polite and conscientious. The breakfast was a delight as always with fresh fruit, juices and cereal followed by a traditional full English that was cooked to perfection.

The only thing I can be slightly be critical about is the shower cubicle needs an update, it looked dirty initially but was just wear and tare due to age however, the shower cubicle in my son’s room was much better and newer. It is an old building so to be expected and I do believe they are making their way through the rooms one at a time to update them and I have to say there were notable improvements from the last time we stayed.

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.

The property stands a little way back from the beach and so has the advantage of being less windy and more into the beautiful countryside. The areas wildlife is in abundance and kites and avocets are common sights. Our room had an excellent view over the hillside fields and water meadows and boasted a special birdwatching telescope.

I found the steps up to our lodge difficult but we had requested a room with a king-size bed especially and so we needed to take the room with the larger bed.

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.

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.

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.

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.
