The luxury room was basic tired b&b at best: curtains barely closed, window wouldn't close because ivy was growing in, bathroom very tired - the bath had been resealed numerous times over, the vanity unity held together with staples / sellotape and a toilet which took ages to fill. Room wasn't refreshed mid stay. The night entrance didn't work properly so would've been easy to get locked out after hours. Table booked for 7:30 on a Sunday eve to be told last food orders were 7:30 with a hard cutoff (no mention when the table was booked, guest information pack in room states 8:00). Took the shine off an otherwise good day. Breakfast - good hot menu selection, the full English was really good. Cold selection was very basic - good choice of cereals but nothing else; no fruit, no yoghurt, nothing continental.

Nice room although could be a bit cleaner, great breakfast and very friendly staff

The service, food and drink here was amazing. The rooms were comfortable and clean and the views just down the road made for an amazing sunset. I would definitely stay here again.

Excellent location and great food. Breakfast needs coffee top ups though.

Very nice. Best homemade pies in the world. 😃

Very good accommodation and food. Room was large and well appointed. Will definitely book again when I am up visiting

Excellent value

One of the nicest hotels i've ever satyed in and food was absolutely unbelievable!

The customer service was great the food was amazing, and the room was spacious and to high standard.

Stunning location - breathtaking views. Room was large, comfy bed, great en-suite shower room. Tea and coffee and complimentary water and biscuits. Easy to park. 10 min drive from wedding venue Healy Barn. Great breakfast. Lovely staff. Would definitely return, thank you Anchor Inn

Lovely place & people Would recommend

Lovely location, nice room very friendly and attentive staff. Great breakfast and bar/restaurant

lovely room. friendly staff. fantastic food. loads of homemade pies which were lovely.

Really like this place. Visited as a solo business traveler, so want somewhere comfortable and clean where I can eat in. The rooms are very comfortable indeed and I can’t fault the cleanliness. WiFi works well. Staff are really friendly without being intrusive. Evening menu is varied even for a gluten free pain like me, and offer great value for money. There’s a good vibe in the bar as well. Breakfast is included and very good. The location is perfect for me - nice and quiet and having arrived in darkness I was very pleasantly surprised by the views. It’s about 15 minutes away from Consett which is perfect.

It was so lovely to arrive to a cosy hotel with a comfy bed & fab breakfast!

The food in the restaurant could have been better.

Great staff, great food and great room

I had a lovely stay. It was everything that I expected. It was a very comfortable room, with a touch of luxury. The large bed was fantastic. Hairdryer, straighteners and Bathrobes available to use.

Second stay lovely place
