Ye Olde Anchor Inn  

Bed quality wonderful; V. supportive. Quirky layout of rooms and access. Breakfast baked beans best ever and egg great. Reception and bar staff very helpful: polite and friendly. All requests met quickly. Please note that we did not whinge about issues in the following section; so don't blame the staff. In any event, what could the staff do to change matters!!!! Limited recommendation.

Limited parking off-road. 2 hand pumps, but no cask ale for our stay (at weekend??) Abysmal breakfast sausage and bacon quality. Embarrassingly creaky (and loose!) floorboards in room; this being over bar area! (Room 16) Stale fat smell from kitchen during stay. Sorry, but these were our dislikes and therefore must be construed as potential complaints.......errr.....obviously!! How can you comment on "didn't like" without making a "complaint" ??? Dohhh!!

More than satisfied our requirements.

First impression we saw a grubby mat on the floor in the corridor.

The whole deal from begining to end, polite staff, friendly atmosphere and very clean and tidy room. A real pleasure.

The parking was a bit limited and would probably be an issue in high season but there is alternative parking nearby.

The room was warm and comfortable. The breakfast was freshly cooked.

I was going to have a bar meal but no one was serving at the bar. The staff member responsible for serving breakfast was 30 minutes late. The TV did not work in my room.

Very comfortable and the food was excellent. Staff very friendly and professional. Will definitely be back

Very friendly staff and a lovely old building Stunning location

I feel breakfast is stopped too early on Sundays as most people are on a break and dont want to be up that early. Also the walls are very thin if your neighbour is noisy or is watching tv you can hear it. The corridors are very very cold Parking was limited and I feel guests who are staying at the hotel should be a priority over dinner/evening guests

There wasn't a great deal to like about ye old anchor inn. The limited number of staff on duty tried their best to deal with the issues but the hotel is very run down and living on its lost reputation. We had damp bathrooms, poor maintenance of lights, heating and plumbing and to cap it all we had cold food. Some of the problems went on throughout our 5 day stay and a number of people left because they had had enough. A great shame beacause it looked so good on the website. We will not be returning to ye old anchor.

Adequate, clean room, average food.

Not a lot

Lots of things, well we did Check Out early and happier to face a daily 1.5hr commute each way rather than stay at Ye Old Anchor Inn. Until the miriade of issues sorted at this hotel, we would never recommend this as a place to stay, nor will be ever stay there again. By far and away the worst hotel we have ever stayed in.

evening meal was good and staff were helpful and eager to please but were restricted because it was obvious the hotel was being run on a shoestring.

reception was sparse as staff were doing many jobs at once.no hot water in room so could'nt get showers.lights not working in bathroom .room stank of cooking smells from kitchen.no ice in bar. breakfast although well cooked was poor half black pudding,one sausage one rasher of bacon and a lot of dog dirt on surrounding pavements on the whole very scruffy.as we had booked two rooms our daughter thought the same .I felt quite embarrassed that i had brought them to such a place

The staff were very friendly and accomodating, food was very good and served quickly and efficiently.

No shower curtain around the bath/shower.

Friendly staff

Probably could do with refurbishing. Room small would have been better with out the single bed in the room this made it very cramped.Shower left. A lot to be desired the shower head was split and kept falling of but very clean.
