I picked this hotel for a two night 'get-away-from-it-all' break on the strength of reviews on this site and I certainly was not disappointed. Terrific location tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the main streets and perched on the hill overlooking the quay facing due west - ideal for watching the sunset over Winchelsea. Very welcoming and attentive... more

We recently stayed here for our second visit. We love this hotel. The first time we stayed in the Captain's Cabin, which was excellent, huge room and bed and lovely en-suite bathroom. All the facilities - bathrobes etc. Second time we snapped up a special offer and expected really to be allocated one of their standard/small rooms as we got... more

In spite of booking very late, we took the last and smallest room in the hotel. A totally acceptable room although bathroom tiling was a bit poor.

The Hope Anchor - lovely hotel. Helpful and attentive staff, nice room, good view of river. Breakfast was great ! Rye is a beautiful old town, cobbles, old church (go up the tower for the view!).

We had an upstairs bedroom and bath and a downstairs living area all private from the main building. Nice for privacy. The cottage itself was clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated. I would highly recommend this... more

We stayed in the adjoining cottage to the actual hotel which was lovely. We have a young baby and it was perfect - a nice, clean, well furnished bedroom upstairs with bathroom, and a good sized lounge with dining table and small kitchen downstairs. We only stayed one night but the staff were so friendly and helpful during our time... more

We recently stayed at the Hotel having read other tripadvisor reviews and were not disappointed. The receptionist is extremely friendly, which immediately set a nice tone for the stay. She personally took us to our room, the Junior Suite which was lovely, with step down to a cosy bedroom. Yes the furniture is a little dated but it adds to... more
