10/10 Excellent
"Fabulous place to stay. Bedrooms very high standard. Breakfast pre ordered and delivered to your room at the requested time. You can change your choice each day but we kept it the same. Staff were very friendly and checked with us that everything was ok and did we need anything more. If we are this way again I will definitely book this again. Parking was easy as the main street has loads of parking."

8/10 Good
"I came here for a golf trip and it was very conveniently placed, less than 15 mins from each course. Nice quiet area in the corner of town (I stayed in the annex) with parking right outside and beautiful scenary. Pubs/restaurants only a 5-10 minute walk away. My only 2 gripes were that the sound proofing was non-existent, so you could hear every word and movement of the other guests. The shower was also very snug and water pressure was pretty poor. Otherwise, I slept well and the staff were extremely friendly! My dinner in the hotel restaurant was also brilliant - I'd recommend the haggis balls!"

Anchor Hotel

8/10 Good
"The Anchor was a convenient stay for us as we needed to be close to the ferry to take us to Isla. The staff were very pleasant and check-in was easy. Parking was across the street and convenient as well. The rooms are very small and dated but clean and comfortable. There is a pub next door and many people were enjoying the World Cup so it got pretty noisy but we were able to sleep. We had a fabulous dinner in the Anchor's restaurant. I have a shellfish allergy and they were able to accommodate. Tarbert is a wee fishing town so there isn't much going on but we enjoyed walking around and climbed the hill to see the old castle which gave spectacular views. We wandered in a few shops and had nice chats with everyone. Breakfast was spectacular and we left for Isla well rested and ready for our journey. Thank you!"

"The facilities were great . Our room was the Hayloft and was fantastic . I would say more like a studio flat with our own kitchen dining and lounge areas . It was very relaxing such a lovely place overall. We chose to have breakfast in the cafe each morning and it was excellent. The staff were very helpful when it came to local eating out for evening meals and things to see and do . I definitely agree with others I would give it a 10 out of 10 and will be back"

"A lovely resort. We were only there for two nights so we stayed in the hotel. The property is lovely to wander around and we took advantage of the outdoor patios. Each floor had a washing machine and dryer, also equipped with an ice maker and sink. It was unclear at the time if we had to pay for the use of the pool (we didn't), but it seems to be based on what package you've purchased. We ate at the Cruize restaurant on site and everyone loved their dishes! Would definitely recommend!"
