I booked the Hope Anchor but the owners messaged that work was being done and moved me to The Lookout Rye. It was really nice but you could hear everything going on with your next door neighbour. Every cough, every step, every time they opened their curtains. My bed literally would shake when they walked around. Breakfast came with the booking and it was great. Small buffet with fruit, cereal, yogurt etc and then a cooked option of avocado toast, kippers both with eggs or you could get full English.

Had a really nice stay, the rooms were clean & the breakfast really good. Unfortunately the restaurant wasn’t open in the evening so it needed a short walk into the main street to find a restaurant or pub. However, the flip side is that it’s very quiet there and it’s a lovely walk down sone beautiful old cobbled streets.
