The hot tap in the bathroom did not work!

Breakfast was superb and the lady who 'hosted' was lovely.

There was a fire alarm activation in the night and the evacuation wasn't handled very well. No one was around when we made our way downstairs although someone did eventually appear and say it was just dust. Staff were hard to find at times, probably due to it being quiet and them having multiple tasks so we had to wait to be seated for breakfast and for drinks to arrive or to place our order in the restaurant. Lots of items on the evening menu were unavailable, which fortunately didn't affect us, but given the restaurant wasn't busy was surprising. It would have been nice to have some information on local walks from the pub available as part of the guest information in the rooms, together with a bit of the history of the pub and the area.

The staff were friendly, and the atmosphere was welcoming. Always happy to help and nothing was too much trouble. We ate in the restaurant and the food was lovely, although lots of items were unavailable. The breakfasts were especially good. The Full English was generous and the poached eggs on the Eggs Benedict, and Florentine were perfect. The home made steak and ale pie was also delicious and a very decent amount of filling. The free quiz on Thursday night was fun, and not just because we won! Beware if you are over 5ft 5 as there are low beams everywhere- I'm only 5'2" so was fine, but I can see why there are leather cushioned sections throughout the bar. The area was really quiet and peaceful. The pub was old and quirky, with lots of pictures on the walls, so plenty to look at in the bar. The beer garden had a lovely view over the fields, and is a perfect spot for a relaxing drink in the sunshine. The room was nice and big, and the shower nice and powerful with plenty of hot water. The bed was comfy. The TV could do with being slightly bigger given its on the wall opposite the bed, so a bit far away, and two armchairs would have been better than one for both of us to relax, as there was room, but that's just a personal preference.

Lovely old building with so much character. Room was spacious and clean. We had dinner in the restaurant which was delicious and the staff were friendly and attentive. Breakfast the next morning was also very nice and nothing was too much trouble for Carole who served us with a smile.

Dear Anchor Inn 'family', we enjoyed our stay on 12 July very much. Nice to be made at ease at the 2nd day of our holiday. The young lady at the reception, called Lucy (my wife's namesake), was very kind and helpful throughout our stay. During the evening meal she and the other assistants as well showed a rarely high level of professional behaviour to their guests. We loved the old building and its atmosphere. The only setback was the fact that one of the villagers showed us a nice rural walk, on which .... we got lost in the fields (haha). Will be back on the 25 & 26 for the final days of our summer holidays. Lucy & Martin of Heythuysen NL

No milk in bedroom to make a drink. Hot tap in bathroom was very stiff to turn on (it dripped if not turned off hard). No food served after 5pm on a Sunday.

Loved the atmosphere in the pub and the quirky decor of the room. WIFI easy to access.

it is a very nice country pub

The weather was hot. The room was fully open facing the sun. Extremely hot. scorching hot. Until the night finally came! The balcony doors can’t close. it gives a rather strange feeling. You need to study rocket science to be able to operate the shower. Or choose the freezing one. it was ok given the heat.

The staff was really friendly, helpful, very nice. The place is also really nice and the room was big, the entire place is well decorated and cosy.

Breakfast was superb, they made me a beautiful filled croissant to go as I was having a tel meeting at the time breakfast started that was then cancelled so I got to eat it in the restaurant anyway and also had a bowl of freshly made porridge with a homemade fruit compote with seeds and nuts, nothing was too much trouble
