The booking was easy, but you need to book well in advance to get the best rooms. The hotel is also easy to find being just off the A31 between Farnham and Alton, however you need to plan your arrival outside the lunch hour ‘rush’ at weekends to find a car parking space. The outside character of the inn is... More

I took my boyfriend here for his birthday the other weekend and it was lovely. I just found it online and had never been to Hampshire before but the area is lovely and The Anchor is great. The staff were friendly, the room was really nicely done, clean and had a great shower! We ate in the restaurant which was... More

The place is located in a relatively remote and beautiful setting and feels like an oasis in the middle of nowhere. The selection of food and drink are marvelous and the accommodation felt luxurious and of high standard. The architecture is phenomenal and I recommend everyone to read about the history of The Anchor. There are a few detractors though... More

I went here with a friend for a drink on a summers evening. Sat outside with open views of the Hampshire countryside and it was delightful. No kids play equipment, so there were no kids running about. It was full and although busy didn't feel crowded. There is a large and, I'm told very good restaurant which is usually busy,... More

What a beautiful, typically English Inn set in stunning countryside. Great attention to detail throughout from the biscuits in the biscuit jar to the fluffy bath robes. The Brooke room we had was gorgeous - amazing view and very comfortable. The food in the restaurant was superb and the atmosphere welcoming and stylish at the same time. What a lovely... More

My wife and I stayed at the Anchor in for 1 night. The package included dinner that night and breakfast the next morning. The room was very nice, quiet, clean and well appointed. Dinner was exceptional. Breakfast was acceptable. It was not a cheap package but seemed worth it to us. The bar was great and felt very authentic. The... More

We stayed here on our way to a wedding in Wiltshire. We wanted somewhere to chill for a couple of days in comfort whilst enjoying gastro pub food and drinks. The Anchor Inn did not disappoint, it completely outshone our expectations. We stayed in the Rupert Brooke room, which has a gorgeous balcony looking over the pub garden and beautiful... More

We were served up a delicious, expertly-cooked meal at the Anchor but that wasn't what spurred us to write this review. The rooms here are absolutely wonderful. Clearly no expense has been spared in turning this pub into a luxury place  to lay one's head. Full of character, super-comfortable bed, instant full-throttle wi-fi, great toiletries and above all quiet. Once... More

You must try The Anchor Inn, the food was really enjoyable, chicken liver parfait, crab starter, truly amazing steak & ale pie, red cabbage and Great pork loin - honestly can't wait to go back Service was okay, decor and ambience first class and an obviously relaxed, happy clientele We are converts and left it a ridiculous amount of time...
