About The Anchor Inn

High Street in Cowes runs down towards the marina, and it's here that The Anchor Inn makes its home, close to the harbour activity and the town's historic waterfront. The setting suits anyone visiting for sailing or simply exploring the Isle of Wight's coastline, with watersports and fishing both on the doorstep and the wider countryside open for cycling and walking.

Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms and drinks available to order in, with breakfast served each morning to set guests up for the day. The inn's own restaurant and bar provide a straightforward place to eat without heading out, and there's a garden and outdoor seating for warmer weather, while 24 hour reception and luggage storage take care of the practical side of a stay.

Beyond the front door, Cowes offers further pubs, restaurants and entertainment within easy reach, along with a golf course for those wanting to fill a free afternoon. It's a well-placed base for a few days spent between the water and the town.
