The Anchor Bideford in Torridge

Great traditional country pub. Do rare to find these days. Lovely landlady Pam who made us feel really welcome. Will definitely come back

The one and only receptionist dealt very efficiently and politely with an influx of customers: 3 parties checking in (including us), at the same time one guest asked for his room no. having forgotten it and one guest waited to make a complaint!

Good quality fish and chips, batter was light and crispy. Dog friendly with great service. Excellent fresh chips. Seating area is well spaced out but not that large so gets busy.

I stopped by for Sunday Lunch while on a bike ride. The roast beef was lovely as were the staff. Highly recommended! Thank you!

We initially booked a nights stay at the Lion. However, on receiving such an amazing welcome and the relaxed atmosphere we decided to stay an additional night. The staff could not be more accommodating or do enough for you. The room was absolutely beautiful and the food, restaurant and bar was out of this world. I think it's the most relaxed I have ever been on a stay. Cannot recommend this place and the beautiful village highly enough. Even the locals are friendly and happy to help or answer any questions. We will definitely be booking a return visit. Thank you all once again Sam
