Location and the building was beautiful and in a lovely location. Pretty furnishings.
Staff - one member of staff was lovely, but the other was surly and unhelpful. We came down for breakfast and were ignored, even tho we didnt know where to go for breakfast. No introduction to the food and guests tried to interact with her but got nowhere. Terrible customer service. Would not go back in a million years - 180 quid a night to be treated like that !

The Hope Anchor is a very historic hotel located in the highest part of the wonderful town of Rye. Having a parking space available was a huge plus! The property itself is nice and full of antique charm. We also really appreciated that they ask you to select your breakfast menu the night before—as a vegetarian, I was thrilled to see great veg options. Also, the breakfast staff in the morning were very friendly! Overall, the town is stunning and the hotel is definitely recommended for a one-night stay!
We arrived around 9:15 PM, which was still within the allowed check-in window. However, the lady at the reception wasn't very welcoming and seemed almost annoyed to speak with us, which wasn't a very nice way to start our stay.

Location is lovely, rye is beautiful.
The woman on reception when we arrived in the evening was cold and had a bit of an attitude. Everything felt pretty dated and breakfast wasn't great (undercooked). Wouldn't go again.
