Lovely staff, slightly tired hotel
The hotel is a bit tired and needing a refurb, but the staff are lovely, and the breakfast was great
Great views of the harbour from room 1.
The room was small but adequate.
The whole hotel is tired.
Black mould around the shower base and tiles.
Appeared to offer a good selection of gluten free for my wife, but after I ordered the scallops my wife's linguine pasta came with gluten, staff realised before she ate it.
So they offered to go to the Co-op and get some, meanwhile my scallops were dry and they should have taken both dishes away and remade them. She opted for scallops with no black pudding. So did manage to eat at the same time. They did not charge for her scallops, disappointing nonetheless.
I mistakenly booked this hotel instead of Tarbert on Harris. I called to inform the hotel on the arrival date, and they refused to refund either of the two nighrs I'd paid for.

Room was ok.
Could do with a bit of a touch up.
But the view was really good and the bed extremely comfortable. Shower good, cubicle on the smaller size.
Food was excellent.
Free parking outside and just across from the hotel.

Tarbert is such a sweet little town. The castle ruins were magical. The hotel itself - very convenient, easy parking, incredibly nice and very hardworking staff. The meals were SUPERB! The room was in good condition. The bed was a bit on the soft and saggy side. Great view though over the water. Hallways are clearly under ongoing repairs. The dinner dining area is quite nice. Breakfast area could use a refresh (especially that first booth seat).
Overall, the Anchor Hotel was a great 2 night stop off for us. Thus has been a magical trip overall and the Anchor Hotel was a delightful find along the way!
Pleasant three star hotel in the middle of the village and with good views over the harbour.

A bit disgruntled.
Lack of lift was the main issue for me especially when I was in almost the further most room away with 4 flight of stairs. Afew things didnt function properly like sink stopper trickle of tap water and veey long reach for bedside lamp switch. The was on thich the TV is hung needs repainting . The food was very good.
Nice hotel on the harbour. Simple room. Big enough for two.
Nice breakfast.
Excellent restaurant.

Room needs a refurbish, bathroom sink was badly cracked and the heated towel rail didn’t work and was rusty, staff were good and breakfast was good too
Had two rooms booked but the Hotel cancelled the stay - received an email that evening (albeit late that evening it was still prior to the stay) from Hotels.com saying it was cancelled. We didn't stay and the Anchor Hotel have said it was a non cancellable rate and refused a refund despite cancelling their end- Neither the Anchor Hotel or Hotels.com seem to recognise that I have received two emails saying it was cancelled despite attaching them to the correspondence forms to customer service. Appreciate it was late and we hadn’t arrived by 11 but still shouldn’t have cancelled before the end of the stay- could have had our breakfast at least.
While we were very happy with the accommodations, the clear high points of our short stay were the "above and beyond" helpfulness of the staff and the excellent restaurant and breakfast offerings (on our 1st evening in Scotland we were pleased to enjoy wonderful fish dishes &, of course, Haggis!!!).
