A Charming Country Stay at The Flackley Ash Hotel

Bonjour lecteurs! If you have been following my adventures at the Frenchie Mummy for a while, you would not know that we love discovering new places.  Last year during one of our Autumnal walks, we discovered The Flackley Ash Hotel. The charming country house hotel in Peamarsh is the perfect location if you are exploring Sussex and particularly Hastings or Rye.

The Flackley Ash Hotel is a family-run Georgian country house hotel right outside Rye.

As soon as we arrived, we fell in love with the main building and the grounds.

It literally looks like a location to shoot Bridgerton with the sumptuous Georgian house.

It was easy to park and we started discovering the back garden via the huge conservatory.

The hotel has it all to charm you with flowers and butterflies flying around. We sat in the sun and enjoyed a drink in the peaceful garden.

Such a great start!

Our Frenchie Junior Suite

Lucky us! To accommodate our famille, we got a Junior Suite made of one main bedroom with a king-size bed and a family en-suite.

Stanley was very pleased with the second room as he had a bed corner sofa just for himself. He put Netflix on et voilà!

The room was très spacieuse and j’ai adoré the view of the nearest farm.

It was just pure bliss to sit down with a glass of rosé looking at such a beautiful landscape.

The Spa & Leisure Club

The spa and leisure club were also great for unwinding.

Stanley certainly made the most of it, in the swimming pool and the hot tub.  There are not many chairs and it was quite busy as it was the holidays.

But it did not stop us relax and I even managed to swim a couple of lanes.

I also got to enjoy a full-body massage, which was such a treat. I had not had one for so long, so it was much needed.

The beauty rooms are subtly decorated for a truly relaxing atmosphere. I felt at peace as soon as I arrived.

Dinner at the Flackley Ash Hotel

After a walk dans le village, we decided to have le dîner at the hotel and make the most of the charming grounds.

Despite it being busy, the service was efficient and our food was délicieuse.

I ordered the risotto (which was a succés!) and Grumpy Boyfriend went for the chicken.

We had a lovely time while Stanley did some painting and he loved his fish fingers and chips.

What a beautiful evening in the country with my family!

Le Petit-Déjeuner

We were ready to go to bed, reading and relaxing in our huge room.

Obviously, Stanley went for the pancakes and I ordered some Eggs Royale, mon préféré when we are away.

We needed some fuel as a full day of adventures was ahead of us.

A Day in Rye

After a lovely night at the Flackley Ash Hotel, direction Rye. We love this ville historique.

We always stop by the playground at the bottom of the hill, before heading up to the Ypres Tower.

We walked around the cobbled lanes like Mermaid Street, admiring the half-timbered houses.

Unfortunately, Lamb House was closed but it’s only a matter of time before we check it out again as we have a National Trust membership.

Instead, I went vintage shopping while the boys stopped by the bakery for a cherry croissant.

    Rye looks like a really pretty place to visit. I would have to start researching soon as I love walking down cobbled lanes appreciating old architecture like that. The hotel is also stunning. You’re lucky to have gone during sunny weather to have appreciated all the lovely gardens in it. I would have fought for that corner sofa bed. Looks super cosy, haha
