We chose the Minstrel's Rest after reading other impressive reviews and based on the reasonable cost. Phil & Michelle were very welcoming and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble for them and if there was a blueprint for the ideal people to run a b & b, they would be it! The medieval theme that runs through the house is... More

Whilst initially surprised at the location we were warmly met and enjoyed our stay. Whilst we did not have a problem with parking it could be an issue during the peak season. The room is comfortable but is lacking in size and solidly built people will find it a 'challenge', especially in the bathroom. We were impressed with the cleanliness... More

We stayed here for a third time since last summer. Not only is the welcome always warm but the rooms have been consistantly clean and tidy. The breakfast is the best you will get anywhere and you can choose what you have which is a nice change. The rooms are easy to relax in and Phill & Michelle are always... More

Stayed at Minstels Rest as a base to go to the Carr Taylor Vineyard wine tour. This B & B is something a bit special. It is really friendly and the breakfast is really good - you preorder the night before and you even specify whether you want your toast with your cooked breakfast or after it - the attention... More

Really enjoyed our stay here. Whilst the loction is not amazing we did embark on the 20 min drive to rye. On arrival the room was very clean and the owners really welcoming. Had a great nights sleep in our en suite, with all facilities new and sparkling. Breakfast was amazing with a wide choice cooked perfectly. The whole the... More

We stayed at the Minstrels Rest for the weekend of the Hastings Seafood and Wine Festival and were charmed by the medieval theme. Michelle and Phil were the perfect hosts and made our short stay very enjoyable. The room and bathroom were absolutely spotless, the bed extremely comfortable and there were many special touches, from tea and coffee making facilities... More

Nipped down to Hastings/Rye for an overnight break. What a stroke of luck finding Minstrels Rest! Phill and Michelle were friendly, welcoming, hospitable hosts. The accommodation was lovely: the bedroom was extremely clean with a wonderfully comfortable bed (SO important!); the en-suite had a selection of fluffy towels and lots of complimentary toiletries; tea and coffee making facilities were provided...

Having just stayed at The Minstrel's Rest, I was really impressed. The level of comfort in my room was excellent and the attention to detail with the decor was amazing-a real feast for the eyes. I was lucky enough to have a room upgrade and I felt that the overall value for money was terrific. Breakfast was enjoyable and kept... More
