This is very much a pub and not a hotel. They should in no way even attempt to say that this is a good place to stay. It’s a pub on a busy junction. The rooms are rather outdated and quite frankly, like an American motel. There are cigarette burns for every lost soul that ever had the misfortune to stay here.  Yours, Morris Baker.

Motel

On arrival staff could not have been more helpful, really good customer service. The room was spacious with everything we needed. Really pleasant stay.

Excellent customer service

Very disappointed with the rooms which were booked as a “ superior room” We stay in Premier Inns at 2/3 of the price, which are twice the size and better appointed. The coffee machine didn’t work, the shower was over the bath, the TV was crooked the carpets and bed were very worn, but worst of all no breakfast!! What! I have stayed in hundreds of hotels worldwide and can’t remember one where absolutely nothing was served. Didn’t try the evening meal because we were at a wedding but would never stay again because of the breakfast issue.!

Disappointed

Attended a relative’s birthday celebration here in the function room, staying overnight in one of the rooms above.

From the moment we arrived in the afternoon and checked in we could not fault a thing. We had a few drinks in the restaurant area and nothing was too much trouble for the staff.

The party was a real success with plenty of exquisite buffet food .  The room had its own bar and the staff were brilliant.

Our bedroom and en-suite were a good size, clean and in good condition. The bed was very comfortable and considering the restaurant is situated on a busy road, had a brilliant night’s sleep.

The full English breakfast the next morning was again excellent and the service was great.

Highly recommend

Outstanding

Have visited the blue anchor a couple of times now and have not stopped raving about it to friends and family etc. who have also visited from my amazing reviews. Lovely food, great staff, so we thought. 

I called on 22 November 2023, and can see from my call log that I have a 5 minute phone call with them. I double checked I could use my Tastecard whilst booking my next visit on 5 December 2023, I triple checked as there was 6 of us coming and money is tight at the moment. The young man on the phone reassured me that I will be able to use my tastecard, he even took my tastecard number down as I read it out. 

Fast forward to 5 December 2023, we have a lovely meal, all have a starter main and dessert as we had been promised the 2 for 1 deal with the tastecard. Go to pay, and they tell me that the tastecard is not applicable. I cannot tell you how upset I was. It was embarrassing. I could not afford to pay for this whole meal when I had been promised the deal. The manager was rude, did not apologise for any miscommunication etc. when it was his staff telling me that we would get the deal. He explained that it said on the tastecard app “Not applicable in December” but when ringing up and TRIPLE checking with YOUR staff member, they reassured me it would. They then were assuming that I was lying about giving my tastecard number? The most awful customer service I think I have come across. 

To think I was recommending the pub to so many people, I am truly gutted and so upset that what was meant to be a lovely family meal turned into nothing but stress due to the cost of it. 

Will now be telling those friends and family not to return. Appalled by the customer service at this place.

Awful customer service, so disappointed

Stayed for one night, as attending a family function. Lovely cosy room, comfortable bed and soft pillows, with extra ones in the wardrobe. Bathroom was fine  complimentary shampoos etc. Staff were very helpful and friendly.  Would definitely recommend it and would stay again if needed.

Traditional Country Pub/Hotel with modern touches.

Nice place, comfortable and decent sized toom. Friendly service & easy parking just across the road.

Nice place, comfortable & friendly.

All was good apart from the bed being 2 feet to short and extremely soft which is no good for people with minor back issues.Very noisy road with no deflection of sound till after works traffics gone , I’d use again but would want a room that does not back onto the road

Poor nights sleep

Staff were lovely, great location for what I needed

My only issue was bedroom size and noise from garden on my windows but I didn’t stay long enough to rate or notice anything bad. Location is very good and easy to access. Didn’t have time to try the meals but smelled delicious and atmosphere seemed very inviting 🙏
