Visited the Old Anchor for the first time since the new owners have taken over, and what a difference! The ambience in the bar area is friendly and professional. With Kim and Mark as your genial hosts, you will want to keep coming back, as they look after your every need. This establishment is only a few minutes walk from... More

This Pub and Hotel is under new management, with a newly refurbished Restaurant called the Ivory Quays. The food was excellent and very reasonably priced. Also stayed overnight and the rooms were very comfortable and clean. Elizabeth

Lovely building in a very pleasant area. Rooms basic but clean. Staff unhelpful bordering on downright rude - you know who you are! The rooms are not tidied during your stay and tea and coffee not replenished (the milk and cream on the tea tray was sour). In fact after taking the money for the room I think they would... More
