5-star hotels in Rye
Rye is a small, atmospheric town in East Sussex, known for its cobbled streets, medieval half-timbered houses, smugglers' history and fine old inns, with the sea and Romney Marsh close by. It rewards slow wandering, independent shops and long lunches. The 5-star hotels here suit couples, walkers and visitors who want character and a touch of luxury rather than a large resort. Spring and early autumn are kindest for exploring on foot, while summer is liveliest and winter brings quieter streets and cosy firesides.
