“You don't get much better”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Anchorage is a clean and tidy well presented B & B. It is well situated for the best access to what Cowes has to offer and just far enough away from the hustle and bustle. With a true seaside feel from the fresh decor and complimented by the host Peter who went out of his way to make my stay a pleasant one. Even sending me on my way early, well fed and more than happy to recommend the Anchorage for anyone.

Room Tip: All the rooms are upstairs bar one which makes it a great place for people who are less mobile

“Top marks”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 September 2011 via mobile

Excellent stay, I loved the breakfast, their was a set menu, but the owner cooked any thing that I asked for, I was always greeted when I finished in the evening. Room was clean, and towels changed daily, and bin emptied daily. Free wifi, which was great. The owner guided me on where to go for food and things to do. But the best thing was that the owner gave me a lift to catch the ferry. Top marks

“Total rip-off”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 June 2011
4
people found this review helpful

Total rip-off at £80 a room, this is the price I would expect to pay for a 3-4 star hotel. This place is a tired shabby old guest house, which should be priced at no more than £50 a night. The owner was inflexible over what time breakfast could be served. He was a rude arrogant man. The breakfast was 'on the cheap', with nasty pork sausages. Paying £80 for a room, I would expect sausages with more than 0.1% pork in them. Well worth avoiding this place, there are far better value places to stay in Cowes. As for the reviews of 4/5 and 5/5 on this site, I think he's made them all up himself.

“Good Breakfasts!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 July 2010

The main thing I liked about this place was the choice of breakfasts!I was there for nearly 2 weeks for business so having a choice for breakfast was great. Owner was friendly and location good. There was a strong smell of cigarette smoke however, and the carpet in my room could have done with being vacuumed! Location good.
