    Ideally placed to view estuary. Friendly staff. Decent breakfast. Small but clean and adequate room.

    Food was good. Prices a little high for a pub, but guess staffing isn’t so easy as quite remote and fair enough if need to pay a bit of a premium. The location is really beautiful

    We had such a lovely stay at the Anchor! Location is superb. Our room was basic but we slept really well, despite storm Amy raging all weekend. Stand out of the hotel is the staff, everyone we spoke to was lovely and made us feel really welcome....
