About
The Hope Anchor is one of the more notable hotels in Rye being the inspiration for the Traders Arms in EF Bensons Mapp and Lucia books and also the Gay Dolphin in Malcolm Saville’s childrens’ books. It is even mentioned briefly in the famous Dr Syn books. Combined with its smuggling heritage, as the watering hole of the Tenterden Gang, it has had a most exciting and lively history. Nowadays it is more sedate, although never boring, and provides a relaxed and tranquil setting for those who wish to enjoy the more sophisticated things in life.
