This hotel is in a prime location. It’s very old. But a coat of paint clean grout and bedding that had been ironed would make all the difference Drink at the bar was very expensive compared to other bars in the town. Staff were lovely and breakfast wasn’t bad. Although everything had been pre cooked It could be beautiful if the owner just put in a bit of effort

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
No food available when arrived at 6.30pm after travelling 6 hours. No chef available, bar staff lady said food MIGHT start 8.30pm, owner not in till later. No lift, room on 3rd floor, no-one to assist with luggage. Reception on first floor, no other people there - they must have known how awful it was. Expedia should review keeping this awful hotel on their books. Even local people have since advised not to use it. It was so awful we found alternative accomodation.

Want to go again

I really enjoyed my stay here. I was travelling for business so had little time for site seeing but the area was beautiful. Hotel was spotlessly clean and the food was amazing. Clearly run by someone who wants to provide excellent service. If I visit the area again this is the first hotel I will try to book.

It's a really old building, full of character. The hosts are lovely, having been there only a short time, they have created a charming dining room on the first floor, filled with light. The breakfasts were delicious, individually prepared. We really enjoyed our stay.

Meal ordering was haphazard. I ordered a starter of soup but it did not arrive. I asked for a glass of water to go with my meal; I was asked if I wanted ice, I said yes please but was given a small glass of tepid water with no ice, on one of the hottest days of the year. At breakfast, I took some Bran Flakes but when I got to my table and started to eat them, I found there were nut flakes in them. I am allergic to nuts. There was no warning on the Bran Flake dispenser that nuts had been added. Also, the cooked breakfast consisted of a very small hash brown; one and a half small mushrooms, half a rasher of bacon, an adequate sausage and a fried egg, which was going cold by the time it arrived (also most hotels these days ask if you if want fried, scrambled, poached etc). Finally, although the room and the bathroom in general were clean and tidy, there was huge amounts of disgusting soap scum on the shower hose and on the bottom and behind the concertina shower doors, which cannot have been cleaned for months, if not years.

It was really cold,thee was a oil heater in the room which was nackered, gave out very little heat. Considering it's 1st March they didn't put the heating on, the room was freezing all night,even in the dining room this morning there was only a tiny blow heater on,considering there was a stove in the room. The breakfast was awful,very very poor.

Had a great stay at The Anchor Hotel. Owner James and his wife were very accommodating throughout my stay. The hotel was in a lovely setting, by the river and is steeped in history, being a Court house amongst other things. James the owner is very knowledgeable about this and is happy to talk about it. I will definitely be staying agai abd would highly recommend.
