Great location in old town of Rye

the Hope Anchor is in a lovely location, at the top of the old town of Rye with views down the valley. The room was comfortable and it and the bathroom were well equipped. The downsides were that it could have been cleaner, a former residents hair in the bathroom for instance and the welcome wasn't exactly effusive.
Julie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I unfortunately stayed on one of the hottest nights of the year so the room had little air circulation That aside the room was clean, decent size and helpful staff, to check in and at breakfast

On top of a hill. Very kind and helpful staff for me to drop off my luggage before check in, and after check out Breakfast is quite good, and the room as fantastic views over the fields, and part of the town Rye is very small so super walkable wherever you stay. Enjoy this place next to the Mermaid street, and the charming town overall

Faded and Jaded

I like faded and jaded and choose historic buildings to stay in for their character. The Hope Anchor is rather faded and jaded. Bathroom tiling and stair carpets need a refresh. Liked choosing breakfast the night before. Delicious and generous breakfast. Liked the bottle of fresh cold water. At this price point I would stay again if in Rye. Couldn't get WiFi.
