Jeake's House stands on one of the most beautiful ancient cobbled streets of Rye, and today plays host to the discerning guest who wants to recapture the feel of history while at the same time enjoying a high standard of modern comfort and relaxed hospitality. Guests will almost invariably be welcomed by one of the two resident cats, Yum Yum or Monte our flirtatious Tonkinese, cordially complemented by the friendly service of the proprietors, Jenny Hadfield and Richard Martin.

Bedrooms

Report

Our bedrooms and suites are named after the writers, artists and reformers who are associated with Jeakes House. For example, Conrad Aiken, the American poet, novelist and critic, who bought the House in 1924. All the rooms have been carefully and individually restored to provide all the elegance and comfort you'd expect from a fine, boutique English B&B.

Bar

Report

Here's the perfect spot to sit and relax before going out for the evening or enjoying a nightcap before you retire. Our honesty bar is open at all times, exclusively for our guests. Help yourself to drinks; and make a note on the pad so the cost can be added to your bill on departure. Jeake's House was built as a wool store in 1689, and the ancient cellar shelves are still visible in the Parlour.

Breakfast

Report

Breakfast is served Monday to Friday 8.00 - 9.30 and Saturday & Sunday 8.30 - 10.00 in our galleried dining room. It was once the Meeting House for the Rye Quakers. They sold it to the Baptists, who used it as a chapel until 1909. The pews from the chapel now furnish our honesty bar; and the old baptismal font still lies under the dining room floor boards!

Parking

Report

Guests are guaranteed a space in our own private car park. A permit is available for a small charge. Mermaid Street is two-way, so please park outside the House to unload luggage; we'll direct you to the car park, which is a short walk back.

Rye & Beyond

Report

Incorporated in 1289, the ancient cinque port town of Rye sits on a hill commanding views of Romney Marsh and the English Channel. Once a seaport and trading centre, Rye played a vital role in the defence against invaders. And its cobbled streets and medieval houses once echoed to the sound of smugglers' boots and cutlasses.
