Why We Love This Hotel
- The Lookout Hotel is set at the top of East Cliff and overlooks the Rother Estuary, Romney Marsh, and Rye Harbour.
- Rye is one of The 25 Most Beautiful Small Towns in Europe, according to Condé Nast Traveler, which describes it as "an old town set on a sandstone outcrop like a Tuscan citadel".
- The 13th-century Ypres Tower is less than five minutes' from the hotel. It houses some of the exhibits from the Rye Castle Museum. You can climb the tower or St Mary's Church opposite for stunning views of the River Rother.
- Camber Sands, a 3-mile-long sandy beach, is a 10-minute drive away, or you can follow the riverside path along the Rother, which takes around an hour on foot.
- You can browse in the town's antique shops and independent retailers or head to picturesque Mermaid Street to grab a snap of its cobbles and historic Tudor buildings.
- Stuck for Christmas gift ideas? Give a dining, spa, activity, theatre, or hotel experience, and create a memory.

Well, overall we enjoyed our experience at The Lookout Hotel. However, we are both over 80 and found the stairs up to our room a challenge, especially when carrying luggage.
Our room was lovely, except that there was nowhere to put a suitcase and in the bathroom there was nowhere at all to put toilet bags, hairbrushes, etc.
Robin did ask to speak to the manager to give his advice on the slight improvements that would make a huge difference, but she rather obviously refused. A couple of days later Robin had a phone call from the 'Operations Manager' and he was very dismissive. This struck us as silly as they are obviously not absolutely winning there.

The breakfast was a long way short of good. I had the mashed avocado which was absolutely dire, I suspect from a can, the second day I had the Greek yogurt + granola and blueberries and that was delicious.

First impression of the hotel from the outside is very disappointing. The exterior is in a poor condition and this continues into the hallway and stairwells with wood chip wallpaper and worn carpets. The room we stayed in was very tired looking.

Good location and value for money. Difficult to find car park and more detailed directions would have been helpful. Great pubs and restaurants on the doorstep.
