Just back from 2 nights had lovely time room nice and clean and quiet .
Food lovely had evening meal and breakfast. Both lovely
What makes this a 5 star review is the staff from bar and restaurant to reception everyone was really friendly and welcoming
Booked a double room, was gave 2 single beds that were pushed together and maids had to change for a double duvet 😵. Bathroom was that small couldn't swing a cat in it. Shower was small and cramped, no fan or air was very claustrophobic and hard to breathe 🫁 (I'm asthmatic) pillows were pathetic no neck support what so ever. Enquired about menu in restaurant, staff were rude and said that would be closing early as it's quiet, so we decided to go else where for dinner when we returned the restaurant was still open and busy 🤷 (was not impressed) standards need improved!!!!!!
Honestly not great and definitely losing its touch. Stayed here often over the years and last night put me off visiting again. Not a four star, rooms are very basic and the bathroom is 3 star at best. Decor is extremely outdated and everything just looks tired, money needs to be spent to bring this hotel into the modern tourism industry. Dinner was good and couldn't really be faulted, probably the only positive.
2 o'clock in the morning we were wakened to next door having a full on party. I called reception couldn't get through so went looking for a night porter to sort the noise. He came upstairs and gently spoke with the room next told them to keep the volume down as there were others in the hotel. Of course this didn't work so had to knock on the door a few times until they finally listened.
Spoke with reception this morning to try and discuss the drama the night before I got a very pathetic apology. The anchor is most definitely off our list for future stays.
Ordered the honey chilli chicken from the menu, what i got was chickenless batter with veg smothered in honey chilli sauce - rip off. Skinny fries was ok but only got a small cup of them. Guinness was £6 a pint! This is in Portstewart, what a liberty!
WOW! I had just completed an 8-day walk along the causeway/coast and spent my final night of the trip at the Anchorage Inn. This was my absolute favorite stay of the trip. The room was incredible! Decorated very lovely. Great shower and toiletries. Large and comfortable bed! Highly appreciated the kettle, coffee, tea, water, and snacks. Very charming inn! Conveniently attached to the Anchor Pub Complex, which is quaint and had exceptional food.
The only thing that could and did make my stay better was the staff! Apologies that I do not recall the name of the fabulous woman that checked me in and the gentleman that checked me out. They truly made me feel welcome and were incredible! I appreciate all they did for me during my brief stay. Thank you! I will be back!
