The inn was established in the 12th century and it has a long history. The main building dates back to 1420 and the additions were built in the 16th century. Only the cellars of the original building survived. The inn has a strong connection to a group of smugglers known as Hawkhurst Gang, who made use of the inns many secret passages and Rye’s history as a port in the 18th century.

The Mermaid Inn in Rye is home to numerous spirits and it has been featured on the TV show Most Haunted. Among the ghosts said to haunt the cosy, little hotel is that of the lady in grey or white which sits by the fireplace in Room 1, also called The James. Other ghostly apparitions which have been seen in the inn are that of the white lady which walks across a room and stops at the foot of the bed; the man who walks through the bathroom wall and into the main room and woman who is supposed to be the wife of one of the local smugglers back in the 16thcentury when Rye was still a port.

Other reports include bottles smashing to the floor in the Elizabethan Chamber room. In the Kingsmill room cold spots have been reported as well as a rocking chair rocking independently.
