The New Inn

We have just returned from a four night stay at the New Inn, Winchelsea and I cannot recommend it highly enough. It's located right in the centre of the village and parking at the premises was never a problem. The landlord and landlady are a lovely couple and their staff are very pleasant and welcoming. Our accommodation was excellent. The room was extremely clean with fresh linen and towels everyday. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom well stocked. Unlike some places I have stayed in, hot water for showering etc was available at all times. We had an early dinner at the inn on two occasions and the food was excellent, very tasteful, fresh ingredients and well cooked. The complimentary breakfast was cooked to order and provided a great and filling start to the day. The inn has a beer garden and food can be taken outside if desired . The place is well located to use as a base for exploring the local area and we hope to enjoy the hospitality again soon. I recommend this place for a relaxing break.

the food is terrible and expensive, we had a fish chowder and a burger, the chowder had very little fish in it, the sauce was like dish water and the whole thing was barely large enough to pass as a starter, certainly not a main. The burger was tough and would have bounced off the floor if flown. it was also expensive, will never return and have no idea why people eat there

Have just returned from a 2 night stay and must tell everybody how brilliant it was.Room very comfortable and clean. Nice to have sofa to watch the smart ready TV. Extra touches included good quality toiletries. Room cleaned between days with clean towels. Pub food very good value, food staff and owners extremely friendly. Breakfast was either continental or cooked or mixture. Didn't want to go home.

Lovely old English inn with 5 rooms. Our room (4) had a large comfortable bed and nice powerful shower. A proper cooked breakfast was included using locally sourced produce. The dinner menu consists of your classic meals and these are well presented with healthy portions. Paul, Debbie and their team are very welcoming hosts. Winchelsea is an ancient town with buildings to match so expect creaky floorboards and low doorways, these all add to the charm imo. Charles Palmer Vineyard is a 20 min walk along the 1066 trail and I can recommend their cheese & wine tasting.

What an amazing place Beautiful gardens Wide selection of wine and non alcoholic beers Not tried the food yet but it did smell nice when were we there last Dog friendly which is always a must for us Owners and staff are friendly and very knowledgeable. Please bring back pork scratchings!!!
