The Anchor Inn

Rooms very small. Bed uncomfortable. Outside of property needs tlc. Cobweb's everywhere and generally untidy. Staff were very nice. Breakfast very nice. Very basic but still good value for money

Wonderful little fairly priced English hideaway Inn

First impressions this was going to be a 5 star review, however ... there were three of us staying for two nights, two in the building and one in the external rooms. The website is seriously out of date with what is on offer with regards to the bar (happy hour prices, WiFi and restaurant) the rooms inside had no hot water for both days and another guest had said he had had none for three days! and WiFi for an hour or two and then none, the external room had no wifi at all. The food in the restaurant was very nice, in the evening, although we were not told the restaurant doesn't open on Wednesdays! Breakfast was also very nice and good service, but the kitchen doesn't open until 8am, which is a bit of a rush to travel to work for 9am. There was no housekeeping done in between nights, no tea and coffee in the room replenished, bed made etc. I noticed a review on here stating the bed slat was broken and buld had gone in the bedside lamp back in December 2023, I had that room and they have still not been sorted. The shower bracket has a screw missing meaning it only points at the wall! Won't be returning.

Made us feel well welcome but from there being no hot water to have a shower with upon arrival after a 6 hour journey, to not even being able to use the bath/ shower due to the fitting fixtures being broken or missing. Breakfast was Great i will give them that. Was rather distressful overall was not the greatest experience and the place could do with a clean up externally as is very run down. The guy on site was clearly not supported by management due to lack of staff which is not his thought. I Blame the management for not supporting him and not maintaining their property and surrounding ground. DO NOT EXPECT ONE GUY TO RUN YOUR BUSINESS WITHOUT SUPPORT!!

Very enjoyable stay, staff were friendly and helpful. The evening meal was excellent and the breakfast great. The location was excellent to explore Dartmoor. Would recommend and visit again.

Do NOT stay here!! Honestly the worst place I’ve ever stayed. No hot water, the toilet wouldn’t flush and there were bugs in the bath, which initially I thought were dead but when I turned the shower on they started jumping!!!! (see photo). We had two young children with us and there was also a mix up with our room which meant we were given a double room instead of a family room, and two of us had to sleep in the floor! As we had arrived late after a very long journey, we had no choice but to stay in the awful room and the person we checked in with promised to sort it in the morning. However, we were told the next day that the person we spoke to the night before wasn’t working that day and the person on shift knew nothing about it and couldn’t help us. I explained the issues we had with the room and was told there was nothing they could do as they were fully booked. We ended up leaving and luckily found somewhere else to stay last minute for our second night. AVOID!!!!
