Second time we have stayed at the Hope Anchor in Rye. The service at the hotel is excellent, as is the food. Hard to fault our stay with friends. The food in the restaurant isn't exactly cheap but it's great, especially for a special treat. The views of the river, marshes and castle in the distance is stunning. Perfect place... more

Great value for your money. The location is excellent. The cobblestone & small streets are quaint & memorable...though, in Rye, the cobblestones are more like just slippery stones. :-) Quite unique. We had the Castleview Room (though I was confirmed for the Captain's Cabin). It had a decent sized, very modern bathroom with tub. It was on the 2nd Floor... more

Very comfortable stay-good view from our room. Bathroom well stocked with goodies. Food in the restaurant was lovely with plenty to choose from for carnivores and vegetarians. Stayed one night using the mid-week deal that included 3 course meal, wine bed and breakfast. this was really good value and on top of that we were given a free drink each... more

We stayed one night at the Hope Anchor during our honeymoon. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. We had to leave very early the next morning to catch a flight from nearby Lydd Airport and needed to leave long before breakfast time. We asked if a continental breakfast could be provided earlier and it was. The breakfast was excellent... more

A friend and I decided to stay at Rye to visit Hastings, Battle and the marshes. The Hope Anchor got deservedly good reviews and offered a special weekday deal that included room, full breakfast, three course dinner and a bottle of wine each night. We stayed five nights. The only twin room was the Nook and Cranny which was described... more

Typical small hotel - old fashioned furnishings throughout and the room a bit cramped. Quiet, genteel whispery atmosphere in the dining room though the food was very good. When booking we were not offered the 'dinner, b&b' option - only found out about it after leaving, so we paid over the odds which I think is a bit mean. However... more

I stayed for one night while performing at a concert in the town. I know Rye well but had not known this hotel before so was pleased to be recommended by your guide to somewhere new. It was pleasant and well situated with a clean but rather small room, adequately but not luxuriously furnished. The bed needed a new mattress... more

I booked this hotel for a break away for our anniversary. I came upon it by chance really on the internet but really liked the look of the individual rooms and what seemed to be really good value at £110 dbb per night. It is a bit of a fun journey down the cobbled street down to the hotel but... more

The receptionist at the Hope Anchor hotel greeted us with friendliness and enthusiasm. We had a charming room with a very nice view. The dinner menu did not appeal, so we went to the Ship Inn which was delightful. Breakfast was good, with no frills (it's a one egg hotel: always seems rather mean). Maybe because we went out the... more
