Can you park at The Lookout?

The Lookout has its own private car park at the rear of the hotel, reserved for guests and available on a first-come, first-served basis. The car park is accessed via Conduit Hill, the cobbled street off Cinque Ports Street behind the hotel.

If you're arriving with lots of luggage, it's often easier to drive up into the High Street and stop briefly on the cobbles at the front of the hotel, just beyond the Landgate, to unload before parking. This gives you convenient access to the entrance.

Can children stay at The Lookout?

Children are welcome in some rooms

History of the hotel

Set on East Cliff, The Lookout overlooks the Romney Marsh landscape that was once the bustling harbour of medieval Rye. As one of the original Cinque Ports, Rye played a vital role in England's maritime history, and the views from The Lookout offer a glimpse of the waterways that brought merchants, sailors and travellers to the town for centuries.
