About The Hope Anchor

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.

It was clean and homely. Might need a few renovations as it’s clearly well used over the years like the windows don’t stay open without a stopper which is quite dangerous and the ceilings a bit cracked but not falling apart at all just well lived over the years. The bed was the most comfortable bed Ive ever had the pleasure of sleeping in and the breakfast was delicious. Beautiful view from my room - worth every penny just wish they had a late check out option!

This is probably the dirtiest and most tired hotel room I have ever stayed in. I have taken photos and a written complaint will be forwarded to the hotel. If you are contemplating booking this hotel, do not be fooled by the out of date and fake photos. The dust, dirt, bird droppings and all round cleanliness of the room was appalling. I didn’t use the shower as I was too concerned the flaking paint on the ceiling would fall on my head. I have given this hotel 1 star, only because I could not rank it any less

Lovely small hotel perched up top of Rye overlooking fantastic scenery.
Staff welcoming and considerate.

Breakfast is served to your personal choices, centred on English traditional style, which is very good.

No lift, and some pretty steep stairs for us, so will not suit all.
Approach is up a side road, reasonable gradient for luggage on wheels.

Rooms a little tired, but its a very old building must be remembered.

Bed was absolutely fine with clean linen, bathroom well fitted out with nice shower as well as a separate bath.
Clean towels and sundries plentiful.

Good wi-fi.

Definitely recommend if your fit and healthy.

Rye is a little gem, great pubs and restaurants.

We had a great stay here with a lovely view over to camber castle. This hotel is in a perfect location in the town just around the corner from the church, mermaid street and Lamb House. Outside is a lovely viewing point. It was very peaceful and quiet at night. There is a little bar downstairs which was handy for a post hike drink (lovely bar room and quiet). The breakfast - you can choose what you want which was excellent. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this place in Rye. Very good value. Also very easy to walk over to Romney Marsh and see Camber Castle (we did a morning walk here). We’ll be coming back again.

The Hotel is tucked away, but what a great location, with great views. Upon arrival, friendly and welcoming staff to check you in. If you are driving, there is no parking, so you will have to park in a car park near by. There is one at the bottom of the hill, about a five minute walk which we used. The room we stayed in, a large bath with a separate shower and toilet. Very clean and tidy. The bed, comfortable with fluffy pillows. Slept very well. Breakfast, good choices. A good selection of pubs, restaurants and places of interest near by. We enjoyed our stay.

I booked the Hope Anchor but the owners messaged that work was being done and moved me to The Lookout Rye. It was really nice but you could hear everything going on with your next door neighbour. Every cough, every step, every time they opened their curtains. My bed literally would shake when they walked around. Breakfast came with the booking and it was great. Small buffet with fruit, cereal, yogurt etc and then a cooked option of avocado toast, kippers both with eggs or you could get full English.

Had a really nice stay, the rooms were clean & the breakfast really good. Unfortunately the restaurant wasn’t open in the evening so it needed a short walk into the main street to find a restaurant or pub. However, the flip side is that it’s very quiet there and it’s a lovely walk down sone beautiful old cobbled streets.

Hotel was clear and bed was comfortable. Parking was not convenient as we had to park down the hill at a car lot and then walk a long flight of stone stairs up the hill with are luggage. We were giving the 2nd floor.....2 more flights of stairs and no water pressure in the shower as we were so high upstairs. Breakfast was nice but parking too much of an issue.

Excellent breakfast. Don’t like sage in my sausage but was admonished by my family for grumbling about it. Apparently sage goes with pork. Fabulous friendly staff, lovely central hotel, clean comfortable rooms. Will return.
