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

Friendly service and a great central location make this a good base from which to explore Rye and the surrounding area. The interior decor in the bedrooms is a little quirky but the friendliness of the staff makes you feel very welcome. The only difficulty can be finding a parking space in the square next to the hotel - in... more

We have just returned from a 3 night mid-week break at the Hope Anchor. We had considered staying elsewhere, but the reviews on Trip Adviser convinced us to try there. We are so pleased we did - and will definitely be returning. In some ways we are loath to say too much - in case it gets so popular we... more

The Hope Anchor is a good hotel in most respects. It serves good (though not outstanding) food, attractively presented. The young waitresses are charming - invariably polite, friendly and eager to please. In fact every staff member in the hotel, without exception, is friendly and helpful. There is a small bar that is run, during some shifts, by a retired... more

Stayed here for a long weekend at the end of August and really loved the hotel. We arrived quite late in the evening and given a welcoming greeting by the manager/owner who was extremely helpful. We didn't eat in the hotel on an evening but the breakfast served was lovely with pleanty of choice. Great if you would like a... more

A fantastic experience. Superb dining and great value. Stayed in the cottage in the grounds which was quiet and romantic but all the facilities of the hotel were available. Apart from everything else it is virtually the only hotel in the town of Rye with its own free parking. Great access to shops, pubs etc. and staff who were brilliant. more

We stayed at the Hope Anchor for a mid-week break and from start to finish had a wonderful time. We had the Sankey suite, with a four poster bed and a little sitting room. It was spotlessly clean and comfortable and had 2 tvs, one in each room. The staff were all efficient, courteous and friendly and the meals were... more

Thank goodness for satnav to find hotel as it is tucked away at the top of Rye with fantastic views towards the sea. We stayed in Port Hole as the last available room but were pleasantly surprised at its size and intriguing nooks and crannies that included a dressing area and bathroom. The room was nicely decorated with flat screen... more
