“Pleasant stay at Anchorage Hotel”
+Booked after simply reviewing images and checking services and location online. Everything was perfect for my one night stay. Lovely quiet area, good dog walking in small park only a few yards away and short walk to the sea. Comfortable room and good food. Everything I needed in one place.

“Very friendly and comfortable hotel”
+The staff was so friendly, easy-going and willing to help that it made for a very relaxing stay. Spacious and comfortable surroundings with all amenities very clean and working perfectly. Good daily menu with plentiful, varied food, kept nicely hot when self-serve. Car-park facility and some great evening entertainment. Will use hotel again.
“Not too bad, for the price”
+Good points: The very friendly, hard working staff. The communal areas. The location. Easy parking. The lunchtime food. Dog friendly. Less good: The tired bedrooms. Patchy, over-ambitious breakfast offering (including chip shop-style sausages). Evening meal was ok-ish for the price paid.

“Welcoming and friendly”
+Honestly a fantastic price for a great location, ample parking, great food and a welcoming atmosphere. The rooms were clean and the bathrooms well maintained and from chatting in the dining room we met several folk who are regular guests and love the place. The coast is a pleasant ten minute walk away with a funicular railway to the beach and a number of very chill bars and pubs nearby.

“Average traditional hotel.”
+First the positives - the room and en suite were clean. The waiting staff were friendly. Breakfast was adequate - bacon, sausage, fried or scrambled egg, hash brown, fried bread and tomato. Also cereal, tinned fruit and yogurt. Steve the Saturday night entertainer was very good. Now for the negatives - we found a nail on the carpet in our room (fortunately before standing on it bare foot), the springs in the bed were poking through. The furniture was dated and it was bare, no pictures on the wall. At breakfast, the toaster took ages and created a queue. One regular said its the same toaster they've had for years! The scrambled egg was swimming in liquid! The pain au chocolate was straight out the long life bag, not fresh or heated through! Dinner was a choice of three - meat, fish or vegetarian. One night was chicken in tarragon sauce which was inedible due to the high amount of salt in the sauce. The vegetables were clearly canned (sweetcorn) or frozen (mixed veg and diced swede) and the cauliflower cheese had no taste of cheese! Very old fashioned puddings like spotted dick and peach melba (tinned peaches and ice cream)! Suitable if you want a basic old fashioned traditional hote

“A great stay in a lovely hotel”
+I stayed at The Anchorage for two nights full board. A lovely friendly welcome at reception, very helpful. My room was fine, very clean with plenty of tea/coffee making kit. Big TV. Nice bathroom, again spotless. Had a fantastic night's sleep in a very comfy bed. Evening meal very nice with three choices. Breakfast was fantastic, buffet set up with many options including fried bread which as a Northerner I haven't seen often in Devon. Very helpful & friendly staff on hand in the dining room if you need any help. There was entertainment on the second night, an excellent female vocalist. A well equipped bar area. The hotel is in a nice, quiet part of Torquay, Babbacombe with the Cliff Railway, Model Village & Bygones Museum is only a ten minute walk away. I'm planning another stay at the hotel & was happy with everything & in particular the staff, who go the extra mile to make sure you enjoy your stay.
“Perfection”
+I would recommend the anchorage as the perfect place to stay . Solo or with family Thank you we will be back
