    Unfortunately the cleaners need to pay attention to details. Arrived and bin in bathroom was in pieces with no liner and no toilet roll. Another day we had no face washers or replacement of mouthwash etc. I felt they missed things. Also the picture from room on the booking was not ground floor looking at yachts - it showed sweeping water views - very misleading advertising. Room did have a couple of issues - clothes drawers too few and bench space to do work on - not enough. Tv too small - couldn’t read about each movie. Should put in bigger ones.

    Breakfast was exceptional for a buffet. I liked the grounds and reception staff were very good. Restaurant staff good also. Can tell from reception area that the place is upmarket. Liked that we had a coffee machine in our room!

    Expensive. Mini bar items should be complimentary at this price point.

    Beautiful sprawling property facing the water and marina. Quiet. Good variety of food options at buffet breakfast.

    The weather was terrible which I know isnt anyones fault, but the property is a bit far from anything so we had to drive everywhere, there was no information booklet in the room so we just had to find what and where to go.

    The food was incredible great breakfast with anything and everything you could eat. Dinner was also delicious.

    As a local resident, it would be lovely if there were discounts or promotions to entice local people to spend some time away from their ordinary lives and experience all the luxury that this very nearby hotel and resort off.

    We had the most wonderful stay at The Anchorage, surrounded by a truly beautiful atmosphere and breathtaking location. From the moment we arrived, the attention to detail was evident — from the high-end toiletries to the luxurious bathroom fittings, complete with a Dyson hairdryer. The plush robes and slippers added an extra touch of indulgence, making our stay even more comfortable. Breakfast was nothing short of sublime, with a selection that catered to every taste. The fresh honeycomb and decadent chocolate fountain were standout highlights, making mornings feel extra special. We were delighted to find sparkling wine waiting in our room for our anniversary — such a thoughtful gesture — along with bottles of water and a delicious chocolate. The beds were an impressive size and exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a restful night’s sleep, while the room itself was idyllic — beautifully appointed and perfectly maintained. The Anchorage delivers a luxurious, memorable experience in every way, and we cannot wait to return.

    You could offer some more family friendly/kid friendly room service options.

    Breakfast was OUTSTANDING! And the position of the property was amazing. Also, the lock on our door was broken and they upgraded us with no issue which we really appreciated.
