The staff were friendly, helpful and accommodating. They couldn’t have done more to ensure our weekend went smoothly. Abbie, Anna, Rahul, Claudia, Kim, Matas, Jessie and the chef Lee are just some of the amazing team. The food was lovely and all rooms were beautiful; each with amazing views of the sea and dog friendly. A little slice of tranquility that I’d never forget.
Response from Property: Thank you so much for your superb review, Kate! We’re absolutely delighted that you and your family had such a smooth and memorable weekend with us. Your kind words about the team mean the world — I’ll be sure to pass your lovely comments on to Abbie, Anna, Rahul, Claudia, Kim, Matas, Jessie and Chef Lee. They’ll be so proud to know they helped make your stay special. It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the food, the beautiful rooms and those sea views — and of course that you appreciated us being dog friendly too! Thank you again for choosing to stay with us. We hope to welcome you all back for another little slice of tranquillity very soon. Warmest wishes, The Hope & Anchor Team

Excellent hotel, great positioning, lovely staff. Abi was really helpful during the booking process to ensure we got to stay in the room we wanted with a sea view. Easy to get onto the coastal path and we were very fortunate to have some lovely early spring weather.

We booked for lunch. Great site close to the beach. Good food. However, they very much let themselves down with the very poor service. We ordered our meals at the bar at the same time, as 3 separate couples. Orders 1 and 3 came out together after an average delay, but order 2 took well over an hour to come, despite enquiring, and arrived over 30 mins after the other meals had been eaten. Not good. Very poor attitude of the bar staff when we enquired - weren’t bothered and just told us the food was on its way. In fact, bar staff were unwelcoming from the start, diligently ignoring us when we arrived, despite no other customers at the bar. Difficult to understand such an attitude in what is meant to be a hospitality business.

Great hotel, lovely warm and friendly atmosphere! Room was very large and comfortable with lovely bathroom and Elemis toiletries!! Food is fantastic and staff could not be friendlier or more eager to fulfill every requirement. Truly a pleasant and relaxing stay in a beautiful location. Just what we needed ❤️

The reviews don't lie. This is a great value for money pub/hotel. Perfectly positioned ,directly opposite the beach with a view of Burgh Island and beyond. The SW coastal path runs alongside and there's a good number of walks available for all capabilities. The rooms are well equipped, having been updated within the last couple of years. The staff are wonderful ,as is the food and drink on offer. No problem with parking ,there's a huge pay and display car park alongside(£6 for 24 hours) ,although the pub has it's own very small car park. Although quiet out of season, I would expect this small area of Devon to get extremely busy in the peak season. All in all ,a great place for a break ,with a number of bigger towns within easy driving distance.
Response from Property: Hi John, Thank you for such a detailed and thoughtful 5⭐ review — we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience! We’re delighted you enjoyed the location, especially those views across to Burgh Island, as well as the walks right on our doorstep. It’s great to hear you found the rooms comfortable and well equipped, and that our team helped make your stay even more enjoyable. We’re also pleased the parking and overall value worked well for you — and you’re absolutely right, it can get lively here in peak season! We hope to welcome you back again soon for another relaxing break by the coast. – The Hope & Anchor Team

Just returned from a 3 night stay at the Hope and Anchor. What a beautiful location. Pub and accommodation first class. Dined each night in the restaurant. Lovely menu with specials each night. Staff friendly and helpful. Special shout out to Abbie who couldn’t do enough. Also great breakfast. Lovely spacious room with great views of the cove. Would definitely return when visiting the area again.

We knew the location was going to be brilliant but we didn't expect the food and service to be the excellent high standard. We would highly recommend the Hope and Anchor.

We stayed over Hope Cove weekend and it was excellent. It was busy but breakfast and service was always good. 10 of us also had a meal there which again was very good. Hope Cove is a lovely ‘bucket and spade ‘ old fashioned resort. Thoroughly recommend

It’s great to hear that both breakfast and service remained consistent even during the busy period, and that your group enjoyed the meal too. Hope Cove really is a charming spot, and we’re so pleased you were able to enjoy its traditional seaside charm. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back again soon!

Great pub, well kept real ale and very good food . The fish pie and Sunday roast are highly recommended . Rare to see a pub balance wet sales and food so well

Stayed one night while hiking the South West Coast Path. A nice room but we were 2 floors above the kitchen and noise from that was a bit bothersome. We had a great view however and very good espresso machine in our room.

I enjoyed everything about my visit. The pub itself is beautifully designed and my room was charming with immaculate views. At breakfast I met Natalie who was so friendly and cheerful that I did not worry I was a solo traveller. I met Jesse too who was also welcoming and I felt very relaxed in their company. Breakfast was delicious however I would have liked the option of fresh fruit. There were many personal little touches from housekeeping which complemented the experience. A beautiful stay and I would definitely visit again ❤️
Response from Property: Hello Clare Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you had such an enjoyable and relaxing stay with us.

We also really appreciate your feedback about breakfast and the fresh fruit — it’s a helpful suggestion and one we’ll certainly take on board. It's lovely to hear the little touches from our housekeeping team added to your experience. We’d be absolutely thrilled to welcome you back again soon! ❤️ Thank you Rebe
