Dog-friendly beachfront inn with coastal views in Hope Cove
Amenities & Pet-Friendly Stays
The Hope & Anchor Inn offers dog-friendly accommodations with a welcome pack that includes a dog treat bag, dog beer, and a ball. Year-round beach access is provided, and dogs are allowed in the bar, restaurant, and breakfast areas. The property also features live music performances and live sport events in the bar.
Rooms & Accommodations
All rooms offer sea views, with some Deluxe Coastal Double Rooms providing panoramic views over Bigbury Bay. Each room includes a Nespresso coffee machine with fresh milk in the mini fridge and Elemis toiletries in the shower-only bathroom. The rooms have been updated within the last couple of years and feature super king beds and window seats.
Location & Surroundings
The inn sits directly opposite the beach in Hope Cove, a quiet fishing village within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The South West Coast Path runs alongside the property, offering walks to Bigbury-on-Sea with its sandy beach and waves. Dartmoor National Park is a 30-minute drive away, and Salcombe with its sailing school is 15 minutes by car.
Dining
The restaurant serves fresh Devonshire produce, with a focus on seafood dishes and pub favourites. A continental buffet and cooked-to-order breakfasts are served in the first-floor breakfast room with sea views. The bar offers real ales, a selection of wines and spirits, and outdoor seating on the terrace overlooking the beach.
Entertainment & Atmosphere
Live music performances and live sport events are held regularly in the bar area. The pub features a wood-burning fire and a box of board games for guests to use. A pub quiz is hosted on some evenings, and the bar staff provide local recommendations for walks and attractions.
