"Our stay was lovely because of the beautiful location but spoiled by poor facilities in the bedroom."

7.0

Location and food both breakfast in the restaurant were first class. Staff were lovely and very helpful. Good quality bedding and comfortable bed.

Hotel is tired and could do with a makeover We had a triple room and single bed was in front of the wardrobe which meant we couldn’t use it and had to leave our clothes in the suitcase and on the spare bed. The shower didn’t work and we couldn't have a Shower on the first morning. We had to use the shower in another room during our stay. Not ideal. Towel rail was loose and fell off. Only one bedside lamp which provided very little light.

"Great location almost worth the room rate."

6.0

Staff great, friendly and polite. Location, as expected. Food good and well presented.

Not a lot to do after 9pm. Rooms are in an old building and limited accordingly. Shower dreadful.

"Delightful, hosts and all staff excellent, food exceptionally good. We will endeavour to return."

9.0

Location superb as was our reception and the ease, sociability and service of all the staff. All meals were first rate, our room had a lovely view west over the estuary, was small, but had a good sized bathroom and all areas were beautifully clean. Many thanks to all concerned.

A minor point but could be a health and safety issue: we were on the second floor and the lighting on both sets of stairs could/ should be brighter. Both of us missed the 'extra'step' at the foot of the second tier of steps when descending and I fell on the first floor half step in the corridor which, to be fair, is edged in white. Both could cause serious injury to someone who was more frail. Seems churlish to mention following a delightful short stay, but 'Hey ho'.

"Thoroughly relaxing and pleasant break we will return"

The Scottish breakfast was first class there were other choices of course and nothing seemed to much trouble.

Car parking could have been difficult there is dedicated parking for residents but we chose to park on the quiet road side

"Would return to the hotel to eat but I doubt we'll stay again."

7.0

Staff were welcoming and very accommodating. Food was excellent and dining room/bar had a great atmosphere. Excellent breakfast. Lovely location with plenty to do.

Room was very dated and not the most comfortable. Shower pressure was dreadful, we made the trip to a local swimming pool to ensure we could have a decent shower.

"Relaxing as usual"

8.0

Been coming for a few years, beautiful part of the country! The Anchor is lovely, great food and friendly staff. Our room was very comfortable, linen clean and good quality as were the towels big and fluffy.

It is a little dated, but that does seem to add to the charm. But in saying that the bedrooms do need to be updated and better showers are needed. But it certainly wouldn’t put me off going again, and looking to stay again later in the year.

"Great little pub with great views across the bay."

9.0

Fantastic little unpretentious pub right on the shore line and close to excellent coastal walks. The staff were friendly and welcoming, the pub food was nicely cooked and our room had great views with a comfortable bed. The only downside was that the water pressure was very low for the shower but it didn't spoil our stay.
