Historic Character & Grounds

The Anchor Inn occupies a historic building dating back to the 1600s, offering tangible architectural charm from four centuries ago. Guests have access to an outdoor tennis court on the property, a rare amenity for a village pub with rooms. The scenic beer garden includes a dedicated children's play area, providing a safe outdoor space for younger visitors.

Dining & Events

The restaurant serves generous portion sizes with a diverse menu, including a highly rated roast dinner and homemade sticky toffee pudding. Regular events and craft workshops are held in the Snug Bar, offering entertainment beyond standard pub hours. A well-stocked drink menu features traditional beers and ciders served by gravity from the barrel, including Bass.

Rooms & Breakfast

Each room is equipped with a Nespresso coffee machine, a fridge with fresh milk and fruit juices, and a toaster for self-serve continental breakfast. The breakfast selection includes homemade granola, yoghurts, cereals, and bread with jams, replenished daily. Rooms offer garden views in select deluxe doubles with either a large bath and separate shower or a walk-in shower.

Location & Activities

The inn sits on National Cycle Route 41, making it a convenient stop for cyclists exploring the South Cotswolds. Nearby attractions include Chepstow Castle (18 km), Chepstow Racecourse, and Old Down Country Park, all within a short drive. The Severn Way walking path lies opposite the pub, providing access to riverside walks toward the Severn Bridge or Gloucester.

Family & Pet Amenities

Pet-friendly accommodations allow dogs in a separate bar area (the Snug Bar), while the main dining room remains dog-free for food service. Children are welcome throughout the property, with the outdoor play area and the scenic beer garden offering supervised fun.
