The Hope Anchor
About this property
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 snug 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. (Please note we do not serve lunches or evening meals)
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.4 for a two-person trip.
