It's a charming property with friendly and helpful owners and great staff. The food is excellent. It's not fancy but the bed and room were comfortable with everything you'd need. Pleasant surroundings and close to Rye and Camber Sands.

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.

A pleasant stay.

We had a very pleasant two night stay in a lovely roundel room. The restaurant food was good and service friendly and attentive. The location is pretty and only a few minutes drive from Rye. I'm sure we will return.

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.

Really welcoming staff & comfy bed but the walls (&windows) are paper thin. We could hear next door’s bathroom visits and the birds woke us really early.

Very nice property that is a converted oast house so you have the circular rooms that are the restaruant areas. Old creaky stairs etc make this hotel have a pleasant atmosphere. Well worth a try for somewhere different. Good rooms and facilities. Very helpful friendly staff.

Awful.

The hotel was awful. Everything was old dusty and tatty. Was like some out of the 70’s. I was charged a lot for the room and given the amount this is the worst hotel experience I have had. Mouldy smell, barely there shower. Just terrible. Avoid.

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.

There was a leak from the toilet waste pipe which was leaving a puddle under the basin in the bathroom. Unfortunately there appeared to be no-one on duty to report this to when I left.

Quaint but disappointing

Very quaint hotel and staff where friendly But unfortunately the room was stark , not very clean, very old worn furniture ( which should have been thrown out ):. Bed very worn and extremely uncomfortable, bathroom m door doesn’t shut properly or lock Extension lead use'd for lamp by side of bed (not very safe) Plug sockets on wall so dirty I didn’t want to put my charger in it , strong smell of mould coming from empty store room next door Breakfast was ok. Such a shame as this could be an amazing hotel with just a little imagination and finishing touches Wouldn’t go again especially as I paid for the expensive room and certainly wasn’t worth it at all

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,

Not as expected

Turned up and checked in only to be moved due to having a dog when specifically searched for pet friendly, instantly made to feel we might have to go home then we effectivley got downgraded. Room wasnt as nice, chocolate wrapper(poisonous to dogs) left in room. Was very small for the price we paid for the night. Who paints tiles especially in a shower? Here. Tiny. extractor not working so humidity would be high if it wasnt for the worst shower ever. Walls so thin you can hear the neighbours. Breakfast and dinner was a nightmare, get seperated due to dog again but nothings ever setup, they would know we are at least doing breakfast. If you like gritty susages and hard fried eggs youll love it here, if not, not so much. So much poteential sadly missed. It was a quiet area and a public footpath with mapped route just down the road
