The Anchor Inn

Great rooms and super friendly service.The guy that checked us in was superb,served drinks and also served us in the restaurant.The food was absolute top quality and far better than just your average pub food which is what we were expecting. The breakfast was great and I would definitely stay here again.A special mention for the decor and some of the hand painted wall murals which were really quirky and in various places around the pub/hotel.We especially liked the painted wardrobe in our room which was really clever and in keeping with the wooden beams and general decor.

Fine for the money paid Parking outside the room was great, but the condition of these outside rooms is not the best. It was bitterly cold when I arrived and the heating was set to low which is understandable, but it took a VERY long time for the tiny fan heater to warm the room. The central heating radiators were not working. Neither was the wifi which was really frustrating

Average accommodation without any luxuries. Staff friendly and helpful. Room looked good on arrival but unfortunately not as comfortable as it looked and lacked any luxury touches. Mattress on the bed very saggy on both sides and raised in the middle, towels thin and worn, very basic tea and coffee in rooms. Bathroom fittings incomplete or missing. Breakfast “buffet” consisted of few cereas, potted yoghurts and fruit juice. Cooked food in evening and cooked breakfast satisfactory.

We were booked in as wedding guests for a one night stay over. The meet and greet person behind the bar was at best disinterested and dismissive and at worst, rude. Not a good first impression. The carpeting on the stairs and landing badly needs a clean or replacing and the overall appearance was that they need a good cleaner everywhere. The room was small but functional to a point. The en suite wet room had a pebble effect floor which was filthy, the shower head fixing was broken. The bed was a very small double and was so uncomfortable that neither of us slept all night. The pillows were dreadful and the duvet very thin and it was cold. After a sleepless night we had poor expectation of breakfast but we were pleasantly surprised, it was good! And the host for the morning was welcoming, and attentive. He needs to give lessons in bon homie to the chap that was behind the bar! I know hospitality has taken a huge hit financially since covid, but with a decent bed and bedding, a host that smiles and a good clean it would be much improved and a nice place to stay.

First impressions this was going to be a 5 star review, however ... there were three of us staying for two nights, two in the building and one in the external rooms. The website is seriously out of date with what is on offer with regards to the bar (happy hour prices, WiFi and restaurant) the rooms inside had no hot water for both days and another guest had said he had had none for three days! and WiFi for an hour or two and then none, the external room had no wifi at all. The food in the restaurant was very nice, in the evening, although we were not told the restaurant doesn't open on Wednesdays! Breakfast was also very nice and good service, but the kitchen doesn't open until 8am, which is a bit of a rush to travel to work for 9am. There was no housekeeping done in between nights, no tea and coffee in the room replenished, bed made etc. I noticed a review on here stating the bed slat was broken and buld had gone in the bedside lamp back in December 2023, I had that room and they have still not been sorted. The shower bracket has a screw missing meaning it only points at the wall! Won't be returning.
