    From checking in to leaving fantastic. Gail thought of everything. So welcoming gave very helpful information and could not ask for more. The anchorage would be the only place I would head for in the area

    I had to leave!

    Everything! The host was extremely lovely and nothing seemed too much trouble. Complimentary drink given, probably the largest gin I've ever had. No other guests booked in so had entire upper floor to ourselves. Beautiful property, very large room and extremely comfy bed.

    Nothing. It surpassed all expectations and we would definitely return.

    What an amazing stay; we were bowled over by it all. The accommodation was outstanding. Gail, the host, has two rooms on offer but had only let one the night we were there, so we had the whole upstairs lounge area to ourselves. The rooms were spotless, tastefully decorated, bright and warm, and we didn't want to leave the next day! We were offered drinks on arrival, including wine! There were bathrobes in the wardrobe, and sweets out in the living room. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. The bed was extremely comfortable and the bathroom of a high standard of fittings and cleanliness. The nearby lighthouse shining its light during the night could be seen from the bedroom, but was far enough away not to stop us from sleeping. However, definitely worth a peep behind the curtains to see! Gail was the loveliest host you could imagine and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you for making us so welcome.
