Seagull alarm clock and available menu
Room was comfortable however the seagulls kept us awake every morning from 5am walking on the roof (Room5) There were a couple of examples where ingredients listed for food items on the menu were left out, proving to be a disappointment for some dishes. The gnocchi didn't have any chestnuts, The pancakes didn't have coconut yoghurt for example. More vegetarian options would have been welcomed.

Room was lovely - but kitchen staff below it were super noisy - lots of shouting. Feels under (experienced) staffed and unwelcoming.

The bedroom was very very dark. I did mention it to the gentleman but he seemed uninterested by my comments. The tea/coffee tray was inside the wardrobe on a shelf. It was so dark in the room I had to use the light on my phone to get items. That's despite there being 3 small lamps scattered about and a floor lamp. There wasn't a main ceiling light. May be a light to come on as you open the wardrobe door. It's a very very small room and there are 3 chairs and a table in it. Not necessary. There was a good book of how to... and tips for the local area. The nesspresso machine was nice and there was a lovely Roberts radio so some luxurious items. The bathroom was beautiful Stylish and bright. However there was not a bath so we had to use a hand towel. Nice toiletries and a wonderful shower.

The Anchorage was lovely and the staff could not have been more helpful , kind and chatty. The decor is good, but the bedrooms lack light ,mirrors, shelf space and the heating is very noisy.

Excellent
We went for an overnight get-away and were very pleased. Tomas on Reception greeted and told us where the room was. The room was compact but perfectly formed. The shower room (again compact) was spotless, however, the boarding behind the sink could do with a bit of attention but that's the only negative. There was a big, walk-in cupboard/wardrobe with hanging space, iron and ironing board. Plenty of room for luggage and even a pushchair. Starters and nibbles are on offer in the bar area, which we enjoyed for lunch and we were booked for dinner in the evening. Mark gave some recommendations which were amazing. Thank you. Tomas was back on duty at breakfast and the Eggs Benedict/Royale were spot on delicious. Extremely good service and fabulous food. We will be back.

Rooms are small but that’s ok, mattress is way to hard and could do with being more middle of the road. Restaurant is top notch as is service

A not so bargain short break in a good location.
I found accessibility was a challenge. Toilets and bedrooms upstairs were difficult for me, as I have mobility issues. The room was clean and reasonably well presented but short voile curtains and basic soap, limited milk cartons, and a very low side chair made it all feel 3*. Good value for money for the room but we spent more eating than we expected to.
