Historic 17th-century inn in Thornbury with outdoor tennis court and scenic beer garden

Historic Accommodations

The Anchor Inn occupies a building dating back to the 1600s, with three guest rooms accessed via an external stone stairway. Each deluxe double room offers either a bath or a shower and includes a fridge, toaster, and coffee machine for a self-cater continental breakfast. Rooms provide views over the garden and surrounding fields, with fresh milk and homemade granola replenished daily.

Dining

The inn's restaurant serves a diverse menu with generous portion sizes, including dishes such as fish pie and sticky toffee pudding praised by guests. A full roast dinner is available on Sundays, and the bar offers traditional beers and ciders served by gravity from the barrel. Breakfast is provided in the room as a continental self-cater option, with bread, cereals, yoghurts, and fruit juice.

Recreation & Outdoor Spaces

Guests have access to an outdoor tennis court on the property, along with a scenic beer garden that includes a children's play area. The Snug Bar hosts regular events and craft workshops, and a boules court is also available in the garden. The inn is located opposite a coastal walk along the Severn Way, suitable for outdoor enthusiasts.

Pet-Friendly Accommodations

The Anchor Inn welcomes dogs in the bar area and in designated guest rooms, with a separate bar where dogs are allowed during food service. The beer garden provides outdoor seating for guests with pets, and the surrounding area offers local walks along the Severn estuary. Pet owners can dine in the bar while their dogs accompany them, subject to the inn's policy.
