We chose the Hope Anchor hotel for a Valentine's retreat and the restaurant had a good reputation in Rye. We looked at the Mermaid but, for the same stay, this hotel came in £110.00 cheaper for a two night stay which clinched it. Note hotel guests can park on the road as the hotel car park is small, pokey and... More

We had our room upgraded on arrival which was a nice start to a short stay, I though our stay was great value & I will be booking again soon for another long weekend. I can only fault the temperature of our room which kept me & my wife awake, so we had to have all the windows open which... More

We arrived to be told told the heating was broken, but were offered a discount, so accepted the situation of having to use a fan heater. We were told in a very matter-of-fact manner the restaurant was fully booked so couldn't dine there. At breakfast we were not allowed to sit on the many empty tables, but had to sit... More

this hotel is a well run establishment and all of the staff in the reception, bar and restaurant were delightful.The dinner and breakfast were of an extremely good standard and the restaurant was busy with a good atmosphere. We also liked the fact the there is a proper bar area full of locals. My only negative points are that we... More

We booked this hotel for a family celebration and were a mixed party with children and seniors.

The evening meals were wonderful both in the quality of the food and the brilliant service that we received each evening. We had a lovely... More

The hotel is in a beautiful location, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was lovely - proper free range eggs and fab sausages. However, we paid £275 for two nights and I was expecting something rather more special than we got. Here are my niggles. 1. The door to the en-suite didn't close properly so was... More

We have just stayed at The Hope Anchor for three nights and took advantage of their generous offer of 3 nights DBB and a bottle of house wine for under £300. Exceptional value as the food was very good and the choice of house wines numbered at least 12. Staff at the hotel were keen and eager to help and... More

We have just got back from The Hope Anchor. The hotel is one of the best we have stayed in. The staff are warm and friendly. We had the bedroom called the roof tops and although it is was a small double room with a small shower room. The bed was soooo comfortable.and the room was lovely. The food was... More
