Overview
Description
Sleeping 20 in 7 bedrooms with 2 more in the Sofa bed, The Anchor, which served the village as a pub for over 300 years, might have been designed for large group self catering holidays. The setting is beautiful and the location magical. If you want to stay home, you couldn’t have a better spot: play games, relax in the hot tub, sit in the garden soaking up the sun, barbecue on the terrace, stroll down to the river bank, and call in at the Forge Hammer for a quick drink and chat with the locals – you’d be hard pushed to find a lovelier spot and if catching up with friends and family is your object this is the place to do it.
We have carefully converted this charming village pub by retaining many of the original features and decor from its trading days. Indoors there’s space to sleep 20 in 7 bedrooms, with a couple of cots for the little ones, and you all get your own bathroom: 6 of the 7 rooms are en suite while the other has its own opposite. On the ground floor the snug houses a sofa-bed with adjoining bathroom and loo which is also handy for evening bath time for children. There is an extra wc cloakroom with disabled separate lavatory as well.
The Dining Room is in the oldest part of the house with vaulted ceiling, decorative lights and its own old bar and barrel holders recovered from the former pub days, retained for character and convenience. The table can comfortably seat 20 and the whole experience will make you think you’ve stepped back in time.
Above all you’ll be staying in the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley surrounded by some of Britain’s loveliest unspoilt countryside.

By Amanda on 25-Oct-2024Krazy Golf, Lydbey was excellent. Plus the whole complex there. Mallards Pike Great communication and information. The earlier check in was ideal. House was nice and met our needs. Parking good. Would recommend.

By Anna on 25-Sep-2024Symonds Yat and Goodrich castle worked well for us It was a great space for our family gathering - lovely to hear people say - o this is perfect as they first looked round - and it was ideal. Several guests thought we should come back for our next family gathering (in 5 years time). The deciding factor will be if we need more bedrooms. The tables - dining, ping pong and pool were all particularly appreciated and enjoyed. Great to have 3 fridges

By Pauline on 22-Sep-2024Symonds Yat and Symonds Yat rock, you can walk to the rock from the river or park at both but have to pay at both car parks. The Saracens Head is by the river, lovely food or the cafe at the rock is very good too. Monmouth and Chepstow. Canoeing was an enjoyable trip. Forest of Dean Sculpture trail if you can follow the map!! Mountain biking.

By Tracy on 10-Sep-202420 women in one house and I have to say the accommodation is amazing, the house is so big that no one felt like they were on top of each other. The kitchen is so well equipped with pretty much 2 of everything. Lovely location (peaceful) Thanks again to the team it was a fabulous stay.
