Hotel in Rye

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.

Reviewer Type: Extended Group
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: We have always loved this hotel and its location. We love the little bar , the different room styles , the staff and the views .
Negative: We arrived to our room and opened the window due to the heat . When we came back to the room we had been invaded by pigeons . The carpet looked like the bottom of a bird cage . I don’t think that these birds were in anyway responsible for making the water glass dirty either but possibly attracted to the flickering disco ( the bedside light ) inside . Undeterred we continued our weekend and went out for dinner and returned back to the hotel to bed . We were woken up just before 12.30am when guests had not been able to open the main door . They hammered the door , threw stones at windows and beeped their car horn to try and get attention. Being no staff on site they eventually went to a sister hotel to get help. At breakfast the next morning I had two black hairs in my breakfast . By this point we didn’t want to add another complaint.
Summary: Still a great hotel despite the series of unfortunate events
