Ahoy, Pirates! Ready for a spine-tingling spooky season escape? We've hunted down a creepy bargain for a stay at the iconic Mermaid Inn in historic Rye for just £91 per person (£182 total for two) including a delicious full breakfast.
Rebuilt in 1420 with cellars dating back to 1156, this legendary inn is famously known as one of the most haunted hotels in Britain. It was once the notorious stronghold of the Hawkhill Gang of smugglers, who used secret passages and hidden tunnels right under the floorboards!
Spooky spectres to watch out for:
👻 Room 1 (The James Room): Guests have reported ghostly ladies in white sitting by the bed and clothes mysteriously getting soaked overnight!
⚔️ Room 17 (The Kingsmill Room): Two ghost duelists have been spotted fighting with swords to the death.
🕯️ The Giant Fireplace Bar: Watch your back... chilly spots, rocking chairs moving on their own, and phantom figures hanging around the hearth are regular occurrences here.
Prices at the Mermaid Inn are usually well over £200, even during the week, but we’ve spotted some rare deals throughout the spooky season. And best of all, some weekend rates are currently even cheaper than midweek! Are you brave enough to spend the night, Mateys?
