8/10 Very good

We decided on staying at The Anchor Inn because of it's close proximity to Foyle Park, where we were attending a wedding. Its quite a small pub with only 5 rooms ..We stayed in the Rupert Brookes room which was a fantastic size ..High ceiling with lovely beams .. I would say that there were 2 things that let the room down .. Firstly the curtains in the room were very torn, so when closed you could see where the lining was non existent they definitely need to be replaced . The other disappointment was there was no fridge in the room which would have been ideal. The balcony overlooked the garden and a field beyond .. Breakfast was very good & the service was excellent.

We stayed here as it was close to a wedding we were attending at a seperate nearby venue. They were able to take our bags before check-in time and provide instructions how to get to a room later on in the evening. Overall, very helpful, nice room and nice breakfast too.

This is an anazing place. You step into an interior straight out of the 17th century, characterful doesnt begin to describe it. Then you get a hotel quality stay but with far nicer staff. Cant praise this place enough and will be back

Fantastic! Gorgeous room which I'd have expected to pay more for. No food on Mondays (which is when I stayed) but they were really helpful recommending where I could order in from and bringing it up to me. Lovely friendly people.

Food was great. The room was not particularly clean, a bit tatty, dust in certain places and had to request a bed for the little one even though we'd organised it upfront - in their defence, a manager had been seconded from another hotel to help out and he was extremely new.

2/10 Poor

Filthy accommodation
We had booked a one night stay at this inn as the rooms looked nice on their website. I don't know where they got the photos from, but we stayed in the Siegfried Sassoon room and it bore no resemblance to the photos whatsoever. Don't stay here if you like the windows open at night, as you can't have them open. They are side skylight windows and you either have to have them closed, or fully open so that if it rains, the room gets wet. There is no option to have them slightly open for ventilation. Also, the blinds on the window do not work properly. The tags on them have either come off, or there is nothing to keep the blind down. If you choose to use the free-standing air conditioning unit in the room, you will see from the photo attached that it is the most disgustingly filthy unit I have ever seen in my life, clogged up with thick dirt and dust. I didn't want to use it in case I caught something from it. The vent in the bathroom was also filthy and has not been cleaned for a very long time, see photo. Everything in the room and bathroom was dirty. Huge cobwebs everywhere that would only take a moment to clean away, filthy skirting boards and filthy mirrors. The bathroom towels had also seen better days and were very worn looking. Saggy, old, uncomfortable bed. There is a badly frayed cable for the bedside lamp, that looks dangerous. Blinds don't stay down, as tag has come off to hook them to wall. Never again!
