Very Good

Great location, especially for anyone catching the Holyhead ferry. The property is dog-friendly, which made our stay even more convenient, and there was plenty of free on-site parking available. A practical and comfortable choice for travelers looking for easy access to the ferry.
Lovely stay. Very comfortable, homely, large clean room. Vey Pleasant helpful staff/owner. Easy to check in & out. Nice added extras, that I wasn’t expecting like fresh milk & biscuits in the room. Seaside so close by. Nice breakfast to help yourself to, so I would love to return.
Good clean room and excellent parking but self service breakfast was poor.

Lovely old character building but in need of repairs and upgrades. Employees helpful. Minimal breakfast and no place to eat even though the hotel is large. No restaurants nearby.
The hotel was very peaceful. I have stayed at the anchorages hotel for the past 4 years. Great value.
Love it.

No bar no restaurant breakfast inarea under stairs and you have to take it to your room to eat. Loads of free parking staff friendly and very helpful.
This hotel has just been sold and until the new owner gets it up and running as a proper hotel again I would not stay there again

Would appear the hotel has been sold to a new proprietor hence the lack of attention
Kitchen not opened and bar closed unfortunately and had to go into the local village to get food

Good size room in annexe building. Comfy bed. Self service breakfast was basic but ok. No restaurant but a number of options in treaddur bay. A basic hotel but OK for short stay.
Warm welcome by staff. Quiet. No hassle continental breakfast facilities. Spacious twin room with an incredibly comfy bed. Loads of parking and convenient to local shops including Treaddur Bay.
The breakfast was a joke. At the bottom of the staircase on a table there were a few packet croissant, some boxes of cereal, some bananas and apples. The adjacent mini fridge had milk and orange juice.
Bedroom nice but the thin flimsy curtains are no good - the bedroom is bathed in the early morning light and I found it difficult to sleep after sunrise
Really lovely place would definitely recommend and will be going again. Pet friendly lovely rooms shower and bath, tv wifi and you can eat and drink there at the pub part.
I've stayed here quite often and i like the location

Parking was very easy and abundant. Room was quiet and quite large. Water was hot in the shower. Breakfast was self serve and adequate if not exciting. Coffee was only Nescafé and not good
