I stayed in Room 4, which I think may have been is one of the nicest in the hotel — bright, comfortable, and with beautiful views over the green hillside, the pebble beach and the ocean. It was very peaceful and a lovely spot to relax. The location at the mouth of the inlet was perfect for watching the world go by, and the room and bathroom were both clean and comfortable, with lots of charm for such an old building. Service was a little mixed. Staff were polite but many not particularly friendly, and communication could have been better — for example, the water was turned off for a few hours on the first morning without anyone letting me know - I only realised when I was standing in the shower. Overall though, it’s a charming place in a beautiful setting and a pleasant stay despite a few small issues.

I booked this room to attend my friend’s wedding in Lyme Regis. The location was amazing but the downside was there was no parking and I had to pay for 24 hour parking in a nearby car park. The bed was very comfortable and it was great to have bath sheet towels rather than just bath towels. The shower was an over the bath shower which although adequate would be better if it was a proper shower.

Nice location

Was not really for me, the locations is lovely and the central car park not too far away. However, it was not made clear was that the bathroom while only for my use, was actually located across a shared landing. I prefer an ensuite.

A very quaint Hotel with quirky features. Noisy floor boards so you could hear people moving around. Food was good but little more expensive than normal Green King prices. Recently stayed in a Wetherspoons Hotel as well, who provided a lot more tea/coffee/hot chocolate etc in the room. Would be an idea to increase at the Anchor. Great location with some on site parking but we couldn't use it so park on the road. Would recommend.

Beautiful Beer

Quick easy reception. Friendly welcome. Clean room with awesome sea view. Great food. Comfortable bed. Little tired room but I think it suits Seaton and Beer being a little quaint and British! Love it.

5 stars at the anchor

We really enjoyed our stay at the anchor, the pubs location is a stones throw from the bay and seemed to be at the heart of the village, our room was really good, big comfortable bed and a fantastic sea view, big shout out the the wonderful staff who all made us feel welcome andooked after us so well, food was exceptional in particular the breakfast that was amazing

Room was great but access is tricky due to narrow and winding stairs. Lovely views over the water and town and excellent service.
