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.

Beautifully decorated rooms with everything you needed for a comfortable stay. Staff were all very helpful giving us advice on nearby restaurants and places of interest. It's location in the old Town gave us the ability to wander the village and explore. Loved our stay and the quaint village of Rye.

    Absolutely loved our room - especially the bathtub and interior design. Quite similar to an Artists Residence Hotel. The hotel is in a fantastic location - Rye is a small place but this hotel is right in the middle of it all. Reception staff were very helpful and friendly.

    Location on Mermaid Street is perfect; nearby pubs offer excellent dinner (The Standard) and historic interior design (Rye Inn); Renovation of a historic building (parts from 16th century) done perfectly; separate parking space nearby was close by and a perfect option for a hotel in the historic district of Rye

    The ‘Deco’ room we stayed in totally lived up to expectations of a gorgeously designed, luxury and comfortable room. Tucked above The Fig cafe/restaurant you’re right in the middle of town, but the restaurant is quiet by 10 so you can still get a good sleep!
