Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
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.
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.
Very comfortable stay, very clean and location excellent for the beach,and the staff were friendly & helpful

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
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.
