About
Setting

Nestled between the green rolling hills of the Weald and the sandy beaches of Camber is the medieval town of Rye. With Sweeping views from its hilltop location, Rye offers a chance for pure escapism and romantic adventure.

Within its meandering cobbled streets and pretty half-timbered houses, right in the heart of the town’s citadel, resides The George. Effortlessly warm and welcoming the hotel is part-medieval with later Georgian additions. Lovingly restored in 2022, it offers an eclectic mix of quintessential English and contemporary elegance.

Vibe

A Georgian town house and 16th Century coaching inn situated in one of England’s best kept secrets the historic Cinque port town of Rye. Lovingly restored in 2022, it offers an eclectic mix of quintessential English and contemporary elegance.

The Magnificent Georgian Ballroom, with hand-painted Chinoiserie panelled walls, is a magical space for your wedding breakfast. There are two fireplaces, large bay windows, high ceilings, a minstrels’ gallery and a large bar area.

Luxurious and intimate, the 40 bedrooms are a place to retreat, relax and unwind. Each room tells its own story to captivate and enchant. Carefully sourced antiques and sumptuous beds with Egyptian cotton linens in every room. The bathrooms all have waterfall showers and roll top baths in the larger rooms.

Everything is in-house at The George and the attention to detail is second to none.

Thank you! It really was so special. I’m sure you hear this all the time from your weddings, but we and our guests said it was one of the best weddings they had ever been to. I don’t think it would’ve turned out that way at another venue.

Debbie & Martyn

You have been AMAZING. Thank you for everything. I’ve so enjoyed working with you – you’re the only thing that kept me sane throughout, and what’s even nicer about it all is that I feel like I’ve made a new friend along the way… THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

Lucinda, Wedding Planner for Katherine & Sam

Honestly, from start to finish it was more than we could have hoped for. The venue, service and food was incredible – we had so many compliments on all it all and we were just so blown away by how everyone went above and beyond to ensure we had the best day. I already know that all of the newlyweds are going to be sending similar messages of thanks for such a magical day. It was truly one to remember.

Lulu & George

We and our guests had a fantastic time – many said, ‘best wedding ever’. Of course, we agree. Please thank everyone who looked after us all weekend – we could not have asked for more. Thank you also for the little details – they didn’t go unnoticed – and a big thank you to you of course for everything.

Jenny & Mikka

Thank you for all your hard work for our wedding. When we viewed the George back in January you painted such a great picture and it lived up to all expectations. I’m sure we will be back lots of times to celebrate our anniversaries.
