The gnocchi didn't have any chestnuts, The pancakes didn't have coconut yoghurt for example. More vegetarian options would have been welcomed. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steve Jun 6, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Highly recommended Staff very efficient, professional and friendly. Very knowledgeable and willing to help in anyway possible. Highly recommend the Anchoage. ##### Steve Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Heather Jun 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness Room was lovely - but kitchen staff below it were super noisy - lots of shouting. Feels under (experienced) staffed and unwelcoming. ##### Heather Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Bev May 19, 2023 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities The bedroom was very very dark. I did mention it to the gentleman but he seemed uninterested by my comments. The tea/coffee tray was inside the wardrobe on a shelf. It was so dark in the room I had to use the light on my phone to get items. That's despite there being 3 small lamps scattered about and a floor lamp. There wasn't a main ceiling light. May be a light to come on as you open the wardrobe door. It's a very very small room and there are 3 chairs and a table in it. Not necessary. There was a good book of how to... and tips for the local area. The nesspresso machine was nice and there was a lovely Roberts radio so some luxurious items. The bathroom was beautiful Stylish and bright. However there was not a bath so we had to use a hand towel. Nice toiletries and a wonderful shower. ##### Bev Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Janet Apr 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The Anchorage was lovely and the staff could not have been more helpful , kind and chatty. The decor is good, but the bedrooms lack light ,mirrors, shelf space and the heating is very noisy. ##### Janet Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Roger Aug 25, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities The window in bedroom was fixed to only open marginally. Hopeless on a hot night. ##### Roger Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Dianne Aug 19, 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Room was very small was more suitable for a single person the room .Property on the whole very tired and sad. The whole property needed a complete deep clean very disappointed as Location is the best. ##### Dianne Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Aug 12, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Picturesque Lovely stay ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Margaret Mar 21, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent We went for an overnight get-away and were very pleased. Tomas on Reception greeted and told us where the room was. The room was compact but perfectly formed. The shower room (again compact) was spotless, however, the boarding behind the sink could do with a bit of attention but that's the only negative. There was a big, walk-in cupboard/wardrobe with hanging space, iron and ironing board. Plenty of room for luggage and even a pushchair. Starters and nibbles are on offer in the bar area, which we enjoyed for lunch and we were booked for dinner in the evening. Mark gave some recommendations which were amazing. Thank you. Tomas was back on duty at breakfast and the Eggs Benedict/Royale were spot on delicious. Extremely good service and fabulous food. We will be back. ##### Margaret Stayed 1 night in Mar 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Craig Mar 1, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort Was great & the service was the best ever & while the building needs up dating it was very clean & tidy. ##### Craig Stayed 1 night in Feb 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Jose Feb 25, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Business Rooms are small but that’s ok, mattress is way to hard and could do with being more middle of the road. Restaurant is top notch as is service ##### Jose Stayed 1 night in Feb 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Maggie Feb 24, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### A not so bargain short break in a good location. I found accessibility was a challenge. Toilets and bedrooms upstairs were difficult for me, as I have mobility issues. The room was clean and reasonably well presented but short voile curtains and basic soap, limited milk cartons, and a very low side chair made it all feel 3\*. Good value for money for the room but we spent more eating than we expected to. ##### Maggie Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jill Dec 28, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good room This room was very practical and suited us well ##### Jill Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Julie Nov 8, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Amenities Attending a wedding at Compton Acres so very convenient. Less than 10 min walk to venue. Breakfast not included so the cost can add up as coffee, tea, toast and juice are all extras in addition to the price of the breakfast!!! The first morning we were there, there was no orange juice, no kippers no butter for the toast either! Refreshments in room very limited...Only 2 tea bags (and not replaced for second night either) ##### Julie Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John Nov 1, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A hidden gem One of the best hotels there is; the staff are super lovely and it’s in a great location ##### John Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Adam Oct 31, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Fairly basic room, but sufficient.

Noise from the restaurant is intrusive. ##### Stewart Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Douglas Oct 20, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Nice location friendly staff good service, food very good and sensibly priced however the accommodation needs a bit of an upgrade in terms of electrical connections. In todays age more communication is made from mobile .Hotel lacked charging and electrical points, people need to be aware so they can take adequate connections ##### Douglas Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lisa Oct 17, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The rooms were small for the price, and the shower didn’t work well ##### Lisa Stayed 1 night in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine Oct 4, 2021 Liked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort Lovely place.
