Great location in old town of Rye

the Hope Anchor is in a lovely location, at the top of the old town of Rye with views down the valley. The room was comfortable and it and the bathroom were well equipped. The downsides were that it could have been cleaner, a former residents hair in the bathroom for instance and the welcome wasn't exactly effusive.

Stunning building and location. Bedroom and view was great. Very welcoming, friendly and helpful staff. I had a lovely peaceful breakfast too. Only negatives to report; tv reception needs looking at and the shower was very noisy with low pressure but otherwise everything was great and i enjoyed my stay! I would stay again for sure!

Hotel was clear and bed was comfortable. Parking was not convenient as we had to park down the hill at a car lot and then walk a long flight of stone stairs up the hill with are luggage. We were giving the 2nd floor.....2 more flights of stairs and no water pressure in the shower as we were so high upstairs. Breakfast was nice but parking too much of an issue.
