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

Excellent hotel stay

An excellent stay, brilliantly located in the old town with great views. Well worth the windy drive through the quirky streets and bag drop off. Room was outstanding, very comfy bed and good suite. Breakfast was also fantastic with great range of choice. Best weekend stay hotel we’ve ever had.

Hope Anchor Restaurant and Bar

Room was clean and the bed comfortable. On arival its obvious the reception desk is now missing and check in is via the bar. Evening meals are still not available and the draft pumps have been removed from the bar. Feels like its being wound down, but i guess this is reflected in the price.
