Unfortunately our bed broke, it had clearly been repaired previously- they moved us to another room which was fine. There were a lot of cigarette butts in the ashtrays on the picnic tables ( need emptying more regularly) also dog excrement in the car park! Pleasant staff, peaceful environment.

We stayed for just one night to be in the Plymouth area the next day. Everything about The Anchor, the restaurant, room , the enormous breakfast which kept me going all day, the staff, and of course it's proximity to Plymouth was just what we wanted.

This was a very relaxing stay in a genuinely picturesque setting. Despite being a pub, it was quiet and I was never disturbed by noise. Only downside was I had difficulty getting WiFi in my room but was able to get it in the main section of the pub. Thank you for the caring hospitality.

It is a lovely place to stay. The only thing I would request is a little added choice for a vegetarian who doesn’t eat mushrooms! But other than this will be staying again 😊

I had 3 rooms booked for my colleagues and me for a business trip. The rooms were clean and nice however, we had some issues with the services received. We called ahead to inform the hotel of our arrival, only to be told that they do not serve food on Wednesdays. Later when we got to the hotel, we were informed that they will start breakfast until 8am. I travel frequently for work and have stayed in many hotels. Almost all start breakfast at 6:30, with latest being 7:00. We had to leave at 7:30 for a meeting so we had to leave without breakfast which was included in the price. Additionally there was no phone signal in the hotel due to location and the wifi was also down so we could hardly do any work or even make calls.

Very pleasant stay

The Anchor Inn is a little scruffy from the outside but don't let that put you off as the welcome inside is warm and genuine. The barman was charming and the locals and fellow residents all engaged in conversation. It's the type of establishment where everyone talks to each other and the dogs are fed treats. My room was clean and comfortable with a nice large walk-in shower with large pebbles on the bathroom floor which actually worked. The food, whilst nice, needs a few minor improvements. My pork belly came swimming in gravy which was absorbed by the creamy mash potato. Put the gravy in a jug so that the dish can be enjoyed without being drowned. Breakfast however was a disappointment and quite slow for someone staying on business. A single rasher of hard bacon that had all moisture removed without being crispy. The sausage was wet and flabby and no choice of egg. Given my genuine criticism, I liked the Anchor Inn and would definitely stay again due to its friendliness.

Good value stay

Our stay was good, the room was perfectly fine, clean and tidy. Had several areas of cosmetic damage that could be sorted out but otherwise all good. The breakfast was nice but the actual pub is tiny. Hardly anywhere to sit, more like the size of a living room. The restaurant is much bigger. The people were very friendly though. Dog friendly too.
