Terrible service, no communication, and the Anchor Hotel certainly is a sinking ship, AVOID!!

Although the facilities were basic the hospitality was friendly and welcoming. This hotel served well as a halfway point to an onward destination

I really enjoyed my stay here. The location right by the river made it a great day as the sun was shining all day. There was a great selection of drinks in the bar. Pool, darts and skysports available. Loved the little snug/cocktail room with plenty of retro games to play from the windows. The onsite American food van provided us with some delicious food. We had the philli-cheese steak baguette. It was lush! Beds were really comfy. Credit goes to the owners who were very warm and pleasant.

I would have preferred more choice of food in the evening. The American diner food was very tasty but not really what i wanted.

A very quirky hotel steeped in history. The recent new owners are wonderful. Very friendly and helpful. You really feel at home here. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The breakfast is hearty. Evening meal not always available which perhaps should be communicated to guests. However the meal we had in the quirky Garden Room was superb. There is a burger van in the hotel car park with food cooked by James the hotel manager. This hotel is different and has a charm and a uniqueness which must be experienced. Thank you James and Susan and staff for a perfect 4 days at the Anchor Hotel. We will return !

Lovely stay.
Posted 8 Aug 2024 on HotelsLovely room. Very hospitable hosts and other pleasant guests. Bit of a problem with hot water but hosts very quickly addressed it. Credit to the new owners, they did everything they could to make us welcome. Thank you.

Cheap and cheerful
Posted 28 Jul 2024 on HotelsCheap and cheerful. We read reviews so didn’t eat there except breakfast which was basic. On both days we were in the restaurant for 5 minutes before anyone took an order
