The creak of rigging from the nearby quayside mingles with the cry of gulls as dawn breaks over this traditional Devon harbourside inn. Stone walls warmed by centuries of coastal sun frame windows that gaze out across working waters, where fishing boats still come and go with the tide.
Perfect for those seeking a proper pub-with-rooms experience or wanting to try camping pods near the water, The Anchor Inn offers an authentic taste of Devon's maritime heritage. This is coastal Devon at its most genuine – a place where locals prop up the bar and visitors quickly feel part of the fabric. Whether you're planning to explore the South West Coast Path, visit nearby fishing villages, or simply soak up the harbour atmosphere, this makes an atmospheric base.
The combination of traditional guest house accommodation and outdoor camping pods means you can choose your level of comfort while enjoying the same waterside location. Open throughout the year, the inn provides that all-important seaside pub atmosphere whatever the season. Dog owners should ask about their four-legged friends, and check campfire policies on arrival if you're hoping for evening flames under the stars.
