Want to go again

I really enjoyed my stay here. I was travelling for business so had little time for site seeing but the area was beautiful. Hotel was spotlessly clean and the food was amazing. Clearly run by someone who wants to provide excellent service. If I visit the area again this is the first hotel I will try to book.

The Anchor Hotel was terrific in every way. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. Jim was a perfect and accommodating host and 600 year old hotel/pub is classic!! The setting on the River with the ancient bridge was spectacular. In total we had a wonderful stay! Craig

Lovely room. Very hospitable hosts and other pleasant guests. Bit of a problem with hot water but hosts very quickly addressed it. Credit to the new owners, they did everything they could to make us welcome. Thank you.

an interesting building with a rich history overlooking a beautiful old bridge very conveniently located to visit the roman wall and forts. The new owners Jim and Susan who are upgrading the building are most hospitable, welcoming, friendly and helpful.

Unexpected find

Intriguing spot Haydon Bridge and if you want to try it out the Anchor is the perfect spot to stop off. The hosts were warm and welcoming and nothing was too small to help with. Room was clean, smart and beautiful view of the river ask for this. Food was good pub grub, my Chilli beef was better than average for a pub. Would go back.

Very tired hotel

Pleasant staff but very tired hotel room in need of modernization. Strange breakfast; everything looked like it had been in the deep fat fryer - including the bacon! Could hear adjacent occupant snoring the walls were so thin.

Friendly and welcoming.

The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The linen and towels beautifully white. Bed could do with upgrade and carpet. Bit disappointing evening meals were not available. Hotel on the whole has character and with a bit of tlc could be a goldmine.

Meal ordering was haphazard. I ordered a starter of soup but it did not arrive. I asked for a glass of water to go with my meal; I was asked if I wanted ice, I said yes please but was given a small glass of tepid water with no ice, on one of the hottest days of the year. At breakfast, I took some Bran Flakes but when I got to my table and started to eat them, I found there were nut flakes in them. I am allergic to nuts. There was no warning on the Bran Flake dispenser that nuts had been added. Also, the cooked breakfast consisted of a very small hash brown; one and a half small mushrooms, half a rasher of bacon, an adequate sausage and a fried egg, which was going cold by the time it arrived (also most hotels these days ask if you if want fried, scrambled, poached etc). Finally, although the room and the bathroom in general were clean and tidy, there was huge amounts of disgusting soap scum on the shower hose and on the bottom and behind the concertina shower doors, which cannot have been cleaned for months, if not years.

Disappointed

Very disappointing stay. Very tired needs lots of things doing to it to bring it up to a standard. Bed squeaked if you moved, bathroom door hit the toilet seat when you opened it, shower door broken, paper cups for your tea/coffee, paper plate for your toast.cob webs over the windows. Would not return.

Poor room condition !

We stayed here to attend a family wedding . Unfortunately I did not take any photos of this room . Let me start with no en-suite in room . Then a small sink in room with one small mirror let’s just say glad I didn’t need to style and dry my hair there was a squeezed up to the wardrobe . Window frame all rotten it’s wedge open does not close . Radiator loose hanging off wall . Ripped wallpaper . Desperate in need of modernisation. Nice Bar friendly staff. Rooms should be closed until re burnished .

Badly let down by the mattress!

This hotel was very reasonably priced, so we didn't have high expectations, and were happy to put up with it being a bit tatty, we just wanted a cheap base to start off our trip around Northumberland...however, the one thing we didn't expect and couldn't put up with was the mattress - I actually didn't know mattresses that bad existed - there were springs poking out all over and it was almost impossible to sleep on - in the middle of the night, we actually considered sleeping on the floor and were only put off by the carpet being weirdly sticky in places. We'd booked for 2 nights, but left after the first one, bought an air bed and slept in the van - which was much more comfortable. if it wasn't for the mattress I would have given this hotel a reasonably good rating as I thought it was OK for the price - although the room was a bit tatty and in need of updating, the staff were friendly, the room was clean, and the breakfast was decent. The building actually has a ton of character and sits in a nice location - it could be lovely with a bit of a makeover. For the time being though - at least get new mattresses - people are throwing better ones in skips - you could probably get one for free!

A poor excuse for a hotel

A complete nightmare of a hotel that I would not recommend to anyone. The only positive was that bedding was clean. The rooms on the surface lock clean, but there are cobwebs and dust everywhere, there is mould in the shower, also there is no tea making facilities in the rooms. The evening meal was a choice of two meals, which were badly cooked with my steak being covered in oil and burnt, and my fiancé meal being cold. We were kept awake till the early hours by people that had been in the bar outside drinking, fighting and generally being noisy, all around our car and other guests cars , with no one from the hotel staff (some including the owners living in the hotel) interested in moving them on or what damage they were causing ( in the morning my car had loads of broken glass from bottles etc around it ) Breakfast was very poor, my bacon was swimming in grease and looked like it had been cooked in a deep fat fryer, there was mould on the bread which we pointed out to the owner but wasn’t replaced. I know the owners are new and are from America, but I recommend that they hire a decent chef and not try to cook themselves, and sort the rooms out and firstly bring them up to date, the decor being a very poor eighties throwback, and supply the rooms with what guest expect to find kettles etc. Also sort out the rowdy elements that drink in the hotel bar, guests do not need to worry about their car etc being vandalised whilst in the hotel car park
