Canoe Hire & River Facilities

As a historic riverside pub, The Hope & Anchor has long been a key part of the Wye river community and we mean to uphold that tradition. Our breakfast, lunch & dinner service and 12 newly renovated rooms make the The Hope & Anchor an ideal stop off point for rivergoers whether its for a quick drink, bite to eat or an overnight stay. With river-goers in mind, we have developed an outside toilet block with shower and a private launch, the latter of which is £5 for non-residents.

We’re excited to announce that we have partnered up with Hereford Canoe Hire to offer a Paddle About – a 1 hour taster session with canoes launched right off our jetty! The price is £30 for 1 hour, and the boats can be shared between two adults, plus up to 2 children. The Paddle About will be available Saturdays and Sundays from June, and seven days a week during the summer holidays, between 11am and 5pm – Weather and River Conditions Permitting! Hereford Canoe Hire also offers longer excursions – join the river upstream at Hoarwithy and canoe for 11 miles finishing at the Hope & Anchor for a well earned drink and food. To book or find out more, contact Hereford Canoe Hire on 01432 873020 or email info@herefordcanoehire.com.

As an alternative to Canoeing, we have also partnered with Paddle Boarding Adventures – The Wye is slow flowing by the pub and is an ideal spot to sample the delights of the river from a paddle board.
