“Clean but dated”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 October 2011

The Anchorage is an average hotel in this famous golfing town and it is showing its age. The breakfast is really good and the staff go out of there way to help you out. The food is of good quality and reasonably priced, so why average you ask - the decor is old, the rooms need sprucing up and updating and some of the carpets will give you a headache if that was sorted out this would be a really good place.

“Helpful and friendly, excellent location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 October 2011

Lovely food served, just a few minutes walk into the town and to the beach. Rooms were clean and more like home from home than boutique.

“not at all as bad as trip advisor reviews made out”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 October 2009

Having read the reviews on TRIP ADVISOR was a little apprehensive but we were pleasantly surprised when we arrived.We were warmly greeted by the staff and allocated our rooms which were maybe not of the highest standard but were clean and smelt fresh. Travelling in a group of eight consisting of four men and four women, the men were going out on the first night so the ladies decided to eat at the hotel which was a very good choice as the food was FANTASTIC it was that good that we ate there for all three nights that we stayed, breakfast was also of a high standard. On Thursday night there was a quiz in which the ladies took part and WON much to our surprise and the disgust of the locals. All in all we had a GREAT time and would definitely return.

“Established in 1812 says it all”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 September 2008

We stayed one night as a stop-over point between Scotland and Ireland. The town itself didn't have much to do, so we spent almost an entire day in the pub. The pub smells like a museum, musty and gross, but the atmosphere was okay and the staff was very nice. (The clothes I wore in the pub DID have to be isolated in plastic bags for the rest of my trip.)

To be fair, the previous reviews that griped about the dark hallways were a bit harsh. The lights are on a motion sensor so you have to be patient. Once they kick in it is very well lit. I suppose it is a good thing for the environment.....but a bit annoying.

I didn't find the room to be dingy like previous reviewers, but the bathroom left a bit to be desired. The floor felt spongy as if the tub had overflowed at some point and never dried properly.

The owners have done what they can with the property but lets face it, you can put new paint on an old building but it will always be an old building.

I read the reviews before booking, booked anyway, and regret it.
