Calm Dignified RetreatStrand House provides a calm dignified retreat from the stresses of modern living. We offer comfortable elegant rooms and personal service in a historic house and with a love of food and cooking Mary and Hugh create the feel of a small intimate Country House Hotel. A luxury bed and breakfast only two miles from Rye. Great food and wine with out leaving the house.The house dates from the 13th Century making it even older than the famous Mermaid Inn Rye. It was a hospital inhabited by monks and was added to in the 15th Century when it was the village workhouse. Its position was originally on the shoreline below the town and outside the defensive walls. It is full of period detail with has low oak beamed ceilings in many of the rooms winding stairs inglenook fireplaces in both the lounge and dining room leaded windows.Strand House has ten bedrooms all of which are different in character size and style.
