Stay information

This mid-18th century former inn offers unique rooms, free Wi-Fi, and excellent views of Rye. Built around 1750 for local sailors and ship builders, The Hope Anchor is thought to have once sheltered the Tenterden Gang, who used its old secret passages for smuggling. Relax beside the log fire in traditional cozy bar, and enjoy the individually styled bedrooms, some of which have a four poster bed. In the morning enjoy a delicious traditional full English breakfast or if you prefer a lighter continental breakfast of cold meats and cheeses, yogurt and fresh fruit salad or maybe even have both!! all served in our breakfast room. (Please note we do not serve lunches or evening meals) Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.4 for a two-person trip. We speak your language! The Hope Anchor has been welcoming Booking.com guests since 18 May 2010

An excellent stay, brilliantly located in the old town with great views. Well worth the windy drive through the quirky streets and bag drop off. Room was outstanding, very comfy bed and good suite. Breakfast was also fantastic with great range of choice. Best weekend stay hotel we’ve ever had.

Great place to stay if visiting Rye town, ideal for walking around and visiting pubs and restaurants in town , no driving required, although you will have to leave your car in public car park. Clean and tidy hotel with good views from many of the rooms, of particular note is the excellent breakfast served daily. Would recommend.

Yet again a good visit to this hotel. I must say though that they seemed to have stepped up all the levels at everything. The 4 staff that me met on this one evening stay were Brilliant in their attentive manners to Customer Service . Well done to them !! So looking forward to another visit in 2024 . There was only one downside and that was the change in the hotels permit parking arrangements as parking outside was now limited to between the hours of 6pm - 9am and in howling weathers and senior age is difficult.
