About this place Jeakes House

Jeakes House is a bed and breakfast on Mermaid Street, the steep cobbled lane at the heart of old Rye in East Sussex. It occupies a group of 16th- and 17th-century buildings, with period-furnished rooms, a bar room and a lounge with a piano. It is a gay-friendly mainstream B&B, not a gay venue, and it rates highly with guests (4.8 on Google). Rye's medieval centre is small and walkable, and the B&B is a few minutes from the town's pubs, tea rooms and the station. Expect steps, uneven floors and limited parking, as in most of the old town.

Really quirky but lovely hotel right in the middle of Rye. Great breakfast. Own car park, which is a real bonus in Rye. Will definitely stay there again.

Fabulous. Made of three old houses joined into a hotel with all the period features retained. Not for the infirm as there are all sorts of stairs and little corridors that link them rooms to the body of the hotel. Breakfast is amazing.

Location fantastic. Picture perfect. Car park a huge bonus. Hotel quirky, full of charm and character. You can feel the history. Like being transported back in time. Such a warm welcome and all the staff so efficient and friendly. Rooms spacious with a comfy bed and lovely pillows. Breakfast superb. So much choice and all the hot food freshly prepared served on warm plates and of a very high quality of produce. Such a treat what a wonderful place. Thank you. Will look forward to a return visit.

Had a great weekend stay at Jeakes! The room was very cosy and clean and nice amenities like tea, hot chocolate, snacks etc. The staff were very kind and discrete. The breakfast room felt like a scene from Bridgerton and in tone with everything in Rye, the food was nice and the included breakfast was not a buffet, which was nice. The menu was inclusive and had many nice options. 10/10 would stay again, thank you for running such a wonderful place.
