Stayed one night. Room we had was small but for one night was ok, the room was clean but bathroom could do with an upgrade. No soundproofing, could hear everything through the wall. Breakfast was an extra £12.50 each was a fine breakfast. We had dinner in the restaurant, lots of choices, great fish and seafoods selection and what we had was lovely. Staff are all friendly and welcoming. We had great service.

Anchor hotel

It was a beautiful space, with a lot of extra touches-they left lights on and heating do when we checked in it was warm and welcoming. They had everything you could think of and a nice sized kitchen. We thought it might be noisy but the accommodation is actually over the road from the pub and has stunning views! Lots of local beautiful walks. Food was amazing in the anchor hotel-we had a family meal of 15 and the service was amazing and the meal was one of the best I’ve had!

We spotted the village from the road above, fishing village down a steep road, cobblestones and cottages. Gorgeous 300 year old pub on the harbour, great atmosphere, comfy bed and room, breakfast the next day was fresh and plentiful and offered with love and care. Really enjoyed it, 20 steos from the harbour so pretty to walk around.

Excellent service

My husband and I love to visit The Anchor for a meal. We decided to book an overnight stay for my birthday and wasn’t disappointed. We were greeted with a very friendly and warm welcome and shown to our room. The room was small but lovely. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable. Our meal was delicious and service was excellent. We opted for breakfast and it too, was delicious. Plenty on offer and the lady that served us was lovely and friendly. We would definitely stay here again and will recommend it to everyone.
