Hotel The New Inn (Winchelsea, United Kingdom)

Rooms at New Inn Winchelsea are individually decorated in a traditional English style and are very comfortable and of a reasonable size. Rooms are all en-suite and area very clean throughout. En-suite bathrooms feature modern power showers and are also well-maintained.

The inn staff are friendly and approachable and display a positive attitude towards service. Most staff are also quite knowledgeable about the history of the area and can help with useful information about where to go and what to see.

The New Inn Winchelsea occupies an old 18th century building and many of the original features including original support beams and brickwork are visible throughout the property which really gives a wonderful sense of English history. Winchelsea village is beautiful and also convenient for exploring interesting sites without needing to drive for miles and miles.

Being a very old building, the room walls are very thin and lack the benefits that modern wall insulation provides. It is sometimes quite easy to hear street noise, the goings-on of neighbours and occasional noise from the downstairs pub.

First floor rooms are reached via a winding staircase which may be a bit too difficult for elderly guests or those with certain mobility issues. Some have also found the beds to be a bit too high to comfortably get in and out of.

One or two minor issues relating to the showers includes excessively hot water and a seemingly ineffective cold water tap, noisy plumbing and showers that are slightly too low for tall guests to comfortably use.
