About
A seventeenth-century house on Mermaid Street, Rye's most photographed street, with rooms individually themed around literary and historical figures and a long-running breakfast menu that includes devilled kidneys on toast. Sold in February 2025 by longtime owner Jenny Hadfield to new owners Chris and Doris Jennings, who kept the staff and the format largely unchanged. 11 rooms at the main house, with a further 3 at an adjacent property under the same ownership.
