It was really cold,thee was a oil heater in the room which was nackered, gave out very little heat. Considering it's 1st March they didn't put the heating on, the room was freezing all night,even in the dining room this morning there was only a tiny blow heater on,considering there was a stove in the room. The breakfast was awful,very very poor.

Want to go again

I really enjoyed my stay here. I was travelling for business so had little time for site seeing but the area was beautiful. Hotel was spotlessly clean and the food was amazing. Clearly run by someone who wants to provide excellent service. If I visit the area again this is the first hotel I will try to book.

Parking at the pub hotel was difficult as there is only a small car park and there are very narrow streets around the area. As there was no sign of a reception, checking in was challenging. The rooms themselves were very good, clean and had tea-making facilities, TV and an en-suite bathroom. The dinner menu was limited, but the breakfast menu was excellent. Be aware, the Friday night disco and karaoke goes on to 3.00am.

I really enjoyed my stay here. The location right by the river made it a great day as the sun was shining all day. There was a great selection of drinks in the bar. Pool, darts and skysports available. Loved the little snug/cocktail room with plenty of retro games to play from the windows. The onsite American food van provided us with some delicious food. We had the philli-cheese steak baguette. It was lush! Beds were really comfy. Credit goes to the owners who were very warm and pleasant.

Made to wait over two hours to see about changing a room. Not clean, especially one of our bedrooms. Food only available from a burger bar trailer in the car oark! Breakfast poor. Owners didn't seem to bothered.

A very quirky hotel steeped in history. The recent new owners are wonderful. Very friendly and helpful. You really feel at home here. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The breakfast is hearty. Evening meal not always available which perhaps should be communicated to guests. However the meal we had in the quirky Garden Room was superb. There is a burger van in the hotel car park with food cooked by James the hotel manager. This hotel is different and has a charm and a uniqueness which must be experienced. Thank you James and Susan and staff for a perfect 4 days at the Anchor Hotel. We will return ! Barbara and Mark. Ipswich Suffolk

Had a great stay at The Anchor Hotel. Owner James and his wife were very accommodating throughout my stay. The hotel was in a lovely setting, by the river and is steeped in history, being a Court house amongst other things. James the owner is very knowledgeable about this and is happy to talk about it. I will definitely be staying agai abd would highly recommend.

Very poor value for money. Damp rooms with paint peeling & towels feeling damp. We were told it's what to expect from a very old property. So much needs to be done there. We should have asked to see the rooms first before paying. I moved rooms once as the first wasn't finished & smelt of cigarettes. (Not the odour from the scent sticks! We were assured there would be an evening meal but told at 7.30 there was nothing. I would have given it 1 star but the lady cooking breakfast was lovely & made a really nice scrambled egg.
