Charles,
Pinner
This mid-18th century former inn offers unique rooms, free Wi-Fi, and excellent views of Rye. Good food is served in the restaurant. 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 next to the log fire in traditional snug bar, and enjoy the individually styled bedrooms. Some rooms have four-poster beds, and there is a separate 200-year-old cottage. The historic Hope Anchor is a 3-star AA rated hotel and has an RAC food dining award and free parking. Inn: 15 rooms The most recent booking for this hotel was made on Jun 19 at 15:24 from United Kingdom.

Location The hotel was very 'tacky'. A very poor attempt at being a historic. It had IKea look like furniture dressed to look old with cheap fabric. They also tried to mis sell items and slip items onto the bill- hoping we wouldn't notice.

Efficent friendly staff. Request by phone for unsalted butter, met at both breakfasts and dinner. I would recommend room 28, very large bed,and both shower and bath in bathroom. Cannot fault it. Much better value, cleaner, brighter and food better than Mermaid.!

Everything. This is the third time we've stayed at The Hope Anchor when visiting the area. If we couldn't get in at Hope Anchor on our chosen date I would change to a date when accommodation was available. The Staff are great, (especially the lovely Hannah who was there on our first visit some years ago. We were so pleased to find she is still working there). The breakfast is delicious and they have an excellent restaurant. Lovely spacious rooms with great views. My favourite hotel in the whole of England!!

Lovely hotel in Rye, the location is quite high with beautiful countryside views. If arriving by car, some of the roads are cobblestones and a parking permit is thoughtfully provided by The Hope Anchor. Staff very efficient and helpful.

The location of the hotel,the size of the room & the views were excellent. The breakfast was very tasty & the choice of food was good. The room smelt very musty on arrival, which was very disappointing as this was meant to be a 50th birthday treat/surprise. Also the cobwebs in the bathroom would match any in a stately home!!!!!

the staff were excellent,attended to all our needs! a few minor issues-missing drawer handle,missing signage on cold tap & shower hose needed descaling,we cleaned it from black to silver.If these were all dealt with it would be one of the best places we have stayed!We would stay there again,this is said without malice.

The atmosphere was very cosy for our aniversary weekend. Room (27) was a bit awkward for taller people like my husband because of the ceiling angles etc.
