Very tired hotel
Pleasant staff but very tired hotel room in need of modernization. Strange breakfast; everything looked like it had been in the deep fat fryer - including the bacon! Could hear adjacent occupant snoring the walls were so thin.

The Property requires updating and falls very short on general facilities that you would expect. Staff were very helpful but the property and facilities let them down.

Needs a revamp everywhere.
Tried the Anchor for the first time. Evening meal was very poor. Cold chips tiny portion of peas and over done scampi. Breakfast was help yourself with the cooked items under a hot light tray server, but all items where not hot and eggs were like rubber so gave them a miss. Decor was very tired. Won’t go there again.

The Anchor Hotel was terrific in every way. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. Jim was a perfect and accommodating host and 600 year old hotel/pub is classic!! The setting on the River with the ancient bridge was spectacular. In total we had a wonderful stay! Craig

Not a 7.8 score hotel
Pub has amazing riverside patios we had a drink then went to check in . The bar was very busy with one girl serving and doing her best . She needed help to check us in as she did not know what room to allocate but could not raise the boss as he was in bed at 4pm once she raised him he did not come down to help her and she finally got us checked in . The room was not in good condition with the walls filled in and painted different shades . The carpet was not that clean . Bedding was clean . At 730am we were woke by the fire alarm and evacuated the building but was no staff on site to advise . After about 10 minutes in the car park a guy arrived who had nipped out to the coop and turned off alarm no apology. Breakfast was surprisingly good .

A bit like Fawlty Towers!
It was one night, the staff and owner are lovely and friendly and really want to do a good job. But the hotel is in dire need of investment and a good clean. The owner is lovely but seems like a fish out of water in this hotel. Does not feel like he has much experience in the hotel industry, can’t see this hotel surviving the winter.

Budget hotel in every sense of the word. I had cobwebs hanging from the lamp in my bathroom, low wattage bulb in my room which made it dim and difficult to read or write. Owner well meaning but hapless. Breakfast day one I ordered at 7:25 and did not receive until over 40 mins later. I was the only person dining, they were not that busy but I guess they had to wait for the hen to lay the eggs. Next day breakfast service was supposed to start at 7:00 AM but they did not open until 7:30 AM with profuse apologies. I watched owner arrive in his car at 7:35 and get out with a bag of groceries. He came in and offered to make a full breakfast but given how long it took the day before I simply refused and had cereal and checked out. You really get the feeling that the owner is trying but way in over his head.

Good Value
Great value. Reasonably priced drinks and convenient location. It is very much a pub with accomodation and can be quite loud with music at weekends.possibly not the venue for a quiet romantic break but ideal for a good value base to visit the local area. Nice breakfast. Friendly staff always on hand.

Badly let down by the mattress!
This hotel was very reasonably priced, so we didn't have high expectations, and were happy to put up with it being a bit tatty, we just wanted a cheap base to start off our trip around Northumberland...however, the one thing we didn't expect and couldn't put up with was the mattress - I actually didn't know mattresses that bad existed - there were springs poking out all over and it was almost impossible to sleep on - in the middle of the night, we actually considered sleeping on the floor and were only put off by the carpet being weirdly sticky in places. We'd booked for 2 nights, but left after the first one, bought an air bed and slept in the van - which was much more comfortable. if it wasn't for the mattress I would have given this hotel a reasonably good rating as I thought it was OK for the price - although the room was a bit tatty and in need of updating, the staff were friendly, the room was clean, and the breakfast was decent. The building actually has a ton of character and sits in a nice location - it could be lovely with a bit of a makeover. For the time being though - at least get new mattresses - people are throwing better ones in skips - you could probably get one for free!
