Roundal room was very clean and spacious. Booking in easy, staff welcoming. Evening meals, starters, main (steak and chicken & ham pie) all delicious 😋 both large meals. Staff in bar and restaurant very friendly and knowledgeable about menu. Great night's sleep, then to breakfast, good variety to choose from, we went for full english and mushroom omelette (best omelette I've had for a longtime), really enjoyed.

Would recommend

We enjoyed our stay at Playden Oasts Inn. The room was clean and had everything we needed. Breakfasts were good. An added bonus is the hotel is dog friendly and we had a room with a little private garden and there was a separate restaurant that was dog friendly for us to have breakfast and an evening meal. Would recommend.

Great stay.

Really lovely stay in this quiet little Oast House. We stayed in a round room, beautifully decorated with ensuite shower room. Tea and coffee and biscuits, TV in room. Plenty of drawers and cupboard space for clothes. Room clean and tidy. Breakfast was lovely, and everyone was so friendly. We also had an excellent roast dinner on the Sunday. Just a short walk into Rye, which was a bonus. Would totally recommend it, and we hope to stay there again.

Weekday stay.

Very friendly welcome by Kim and all the staff. Food was excellent, but the bathroom needed updating. The shower water pressure was bad and shower head needed replacing. House keeping only cleaned our cups and did not make up the room.

10/10 Exceptional

Quirky , in a good way.

We stayed at The Playden Oast in for one night during our road trip to Kent. We payed a little extra and stayed in one of the Oast Towers. As expected the room way round, the bed matched the room. All facilities where very clean and the free standing bath was an unexpected bonus. Car parking and wi-fi where good and we enjoyed a good meal in the evening. Recommended if you are looking for something different.

Worth a stay

Everything about our stay could not be faulted. Friendly reception on arrival. Told all we needed to know straight away and made to feel very welcome. Separate restaurants as we had our dogs with us and we were the only ones in ours but still were treated very attentively. Good varied menu with several specials on offer. Prices are reasonable and on par with others offering a similar service. Breakfast was a limited offering but still very good. The character of the hotel is everything. It is an ultimately an old farm building after all and it is everything you would hope for. Modern where it needs to be but still retaining its heritage.

Road trip

Very old building, we stayed in the round room. Spacious, comfy bed and lovely and cool if you have the door and window open (we were in a heatwave!! ) fan provided too. Shower was a real let down, took forever to run through, had no umph whatsover. The whole bathroom was quite "tired" and could do with a bit of work done to it. The restaurant food was ok, but i can recommend the fish cafe in Rye, very nice! Mixed reviews on breakfast, the cooked breakfast i had was a little on the crispy side, my husband ordered scrambled eggs and mushrooms and was told as it was brought out that there was no mushrooms. No offer of a replacement! Also good to note that it is at the top of a long steep hill, that goes into rye. Ok if youre driving, but if you have mobility issues, definatley going to be an issue.

8/10 Very good

Meeting up with lots of my relatives was great. Yes, the room was clean, but the kettle was not working for my early morning cup of tea (I didn't use it the previous evening)! The staff were efficient, sympathetic and friendly, but were unable to get a replacement kettle to me. Also, when I booked, I did say that I needed a gluten-free diet but the biscuits in the room were not gluten-free! I consider that the cost for one night's stay was expensive, being the full price for two people in a double room. I was by myself and I feel that there should have been some reduction for single usage. (I should have asked for a second breakfast to take home with me!) If there is another family get-together in the future, in view of all the above, I will not book into The Playden Oasts Inn, unless, of course, it is at a much fairer price and/or I receive some compensation for my loss. Thank you. Pam Radford (Miss)

All the staff were friendly, helpful and clearly keen to ensure we enjoyed our stay. We thought the cooked breakfast was very good (non-greasy) and ample for our needs, We also ate in the Restaurant on the three evenings of our stay and again enjoyed the choice of dinner selected from both the standard and specials menus available - steak pie and liver & bacon recommended! We stayed in Room 4, one of the round Oust House rooms, which was delightfully quirky with a matching round bed. It was clean with rustic furnishings in keeping with the accommodation. The shower was not high pressure but perfectly adequate for our needs. Due to staff illness our room was not serviced on day 3 but fresh towels were supplied by Andy so not really a major issue. Given the time of year occupancy levels were extremely low so understandably the room heating was only turned on when we arrived. But, given the nature of the building, the room felt a little damp and subsequently suffered from high levels of condensation throughout our stay. Doubt if this would be a problem in other rooms not forming part of the Oust towers or during warmer times. This is a small Hotel and never the less well worth a visit,

Friendly staff, lovely location and oast house part of building had great character. Tasty dinner and breakfast. Mattress was worn out and offered no support. Bathroom would benefit from an extractor fan - bath sealant moldy. Hardly any water pressure at shower head. Could do with refresh.
