Possibly the worst hotel I ever stayed in. No breakfast! No dinner! (Chef refused to feed us (13 of us. No room service the entire time we were there. June 2nd to 5th 2024. Bar closed nearly every night. Their telly was on but no one in!! Fortunately bars and restaurants nearby were open for business. Scott’s was fantastic. The is was a week before The Open. Utter shambles.

The hotel is very dingy but its extremely old so maybe thats why it hasnt been done up, must be the style their after. The bar staff were quite incompetent. One forgot to give me my change and then later on at night the other barman gave me the wrong can - twice. The breakfast was good and the woman (kirsty i think) was spot on.

Recently had a terrible experience here. We were not put in the room we booked and were told they couldn’t do anything to move us to the room we pre-paid for. The room was grungy and run down. When the staff were telling us about the prepaid breakfast we let them know we had to be out before this started and they assured us that bagged lunches are provided in these cases; we never received these despite checking in multiple times during the day. There was NO SHOWER due to lack of running water. Staff overall didn’t show any care for the numerous issues. The room walls are extremely thin and we were kept up until 2am due to other rooms partying until that time. There was NO internet provided and NO cell service in the room. Clearly what they charge for the room is not going into upkeep for the hotel. Do not recommend staying here.

Food was excellent and portion size very generous. Yes the place could do with a makeover but nice atmosphere friendly staff and you can take your dogs in with you or dugs if you prefer. Been in twice and meals and drinks were good quality and fairly priced 😀

Fine. In need of renovation and some money being spent on it. Our room didn’t have a handle to open the door, only a door knob so the door either had to be locked shut or left open and able to be pushed open. The room was very basic and the window wouldn’t open which made it very warm and stuffy. The bathroom was cramped and very basic but was clean and in working order after waiting around 10 minutes for hot water to come through the shower. The breakfast was good, although the breakfast room was very dated and in need of modernisation. Staff were friendly and cheerful in the morning.

We ae a family of three - two adults and one child. We called into the Anchorage Hotel for lunch as we were in the process of completing the Troon Treasure Trail. We did not have a booking but the young woman on shift was happy to accommodate us. We managed to secure a table by the fire! Nice, relaxed atmosphere. Our order was taken promptly, the food was piping hot and generously portioned. It was a typical pub menu but the food was done well. Reasonable prices. No complaints at all.

It has a faulty towers feel to it. Issue with room not having been cleaned on arrival with previous guests rubbish still in the room. Resolved by being moved room although the 1st room was bigger and more expensive. Place does look tired in places, but we weren't expecting to be staying at the Ritz. Staff are fantastic, and hotels downfall can be forgiven due to the efforts of the hard-working girls at reception and at breakfast this morning. Number of items unavailable at breakfast, including beans and potato scones. Bed was comfortable. Accommodation in the area is limited. At £100 for the night, it seemed a bit steep.

We ate here and the food was lovely. Unfortunately the place was really quiet. However we had called 5 times earlier in the day to book a table and it rang out each time so we eventually had to go in in person to make the booking - this might have impacted other bookings/ how busy the place was. The bar staff were very nice - however maybe an extra visit back to the table to check if we were okay for drinks would have generated another sale. Would definitely go back.

Was in for lunch, When the waitress came over for drinks order she asked "what you want to drink" this was said with attitude, 2 diet coke and a Carling (incidentally flat) later on someone asked for coke was asked draft or cans we weren't asked but they were 2 people asked for pizza and burger, I asked for scampi. 3 mins later the waiter came back stating no burgers or pizza,would it not of been of any sense to tell people when ordering what's not on the menu. When it came the waitress went to another table first put food down then came over to us. Salad was worst I have ever tasted wouldn't feed to a rabbit tasteless, 12 chips in portion of 1 scampi 14 in other and 17 in other order. All same size of chips Asked for sauce and the sever sighed when I asked for it. Not professional I think.The table beside us seemed to be getting better attention than us. This place used to be excellent for food but not now 👎👎not good anymore.

Four of us went for a meal in late December 2021. We were served quickly, the food was good. But- the clientele were mostly younger men who walked about in groups up to the bar without any masks! The bar staff never asked them to put them on, and one of the bar staff had her mask constantly under her nose and mouth. I would not go there again - it may not be up to the bar staff to police this but more signs should have been in place - masks must be worn - worst health hazard location I’ve been in.

Came into use the ‘landscaped’ (grass, benches and a hedge) beer garden. Stood at the bar for five minutes while they checked if there was a space for us. There were about five spare tables, unsure why the hold up. Then taken out and sat down outside. Then waited for ten minutes. Three staff members walked out and not one looked at us much less spoke to us. Then gave up and left. What a waste of time.

This hotel dates back to 1812 it has a lovely bar area and eating area staff are all friendly in all areas and in particular the staff that serve the breakfast and in turn also clean the rooms. Breakfast is Amazing unlimited fresh orange juice, apple juice tea and coffee and help your self to cereal and toast then you can order a full cooked breakfast or order poached eggs or whatever Combination you want. the hotel is a five minute walk into town. had the chicken fajitas one night and the mussels ( the mussels were OK but really tiny) We have room 15 it is very basic and could do with a new mattress or at least a mattress protector and a tiny window that does not open but we are not hear to stay in the room and although basic it's actually OK for a long weekend although my advise to management would be start updating the rooms one by one as very run down. I would however definitely come back here and yes I would recommend the hotel big thanks to all the lovely staff and the breakfast chef. My poached eggs were perfecto this morning. Troon is an amazing wee town don't hesitate to visit and book this hotel its fine for the Groupon price offered and the breakfast will set you up for the day. Hope to return before the end of the year.

We were so impressed we returned on sunday for dinner. Steak pie was so tender and the cajun chicken was too much for me to finish. It came with onion rings,rice an d a bowl of chips.

Doing a tour of ayrshire for a few days,when we found this hotel by accident looking for a parking space,was a sunny day and seen they had a beer garden and a half decent looking menu,so decided to go in.Beer garden is great and large and very quiet.For the meals we got the pate and haggis for starters then the fish and steak pie for main meal.They were tremendous i cant fault anything,very tasty,great presentation and very good sized portions.Also a tremendous price it was the two for £9.95 meal deal we got,worth every penny.Would have stayed longer but we had a mad collie dog with us,who was going nuts for the steak pie also!The best thing about the pub is the welcoming staff everyone one of the girls in there were very helpful and friendly big shout out to them.If i was in Troon again i would defo return here for a meal thanks for the pleasant service we had a great afternoon

Bustling for a Monday night is always a good sign, tradition and history just oozes out of this place. Friendly bar staff, a lifeless end of barrel pint replaced with minimum fuss, and a menu which is filled with choices for a healthy appetite. The home made pate is quite simply superb, the best I have tasted anywhere, and followed by a tasty burger with a generous chilli topping. 5 stars for the pate and pear relish alone. It's not egon ronay but when you have had a hard day and looking for some tasty food and a good pint, it ticks all the boxes.

Visited with partner and 2 young children. Food came out quickly but the lasagne was disgusting...it was swimming in grease. Tried to mop some up on the napkin but more and more oozed out. Was changing my youngest child when the waitress cleared the plates away...my lasagne was still full and she didnt even ask my partner if everything was ok which i would have expected as it hadnt been touched. So we ended up paying for a meal which wasnt eaten. Very disappointed and will never return

I stayed here before & said I wouldn't go back but I was lured in by the cheap price through Groupon...bit of a mistake. Firstly can I say that the staff were friendly & the food was good which is why I didn't rate it 1 star BUT the condition of the building is awful! The walls were all marked and stained, the heater rusty but the worst thing was that it looked like the bed headboard was holding up the ceiling. This hotel needs a lot of money spent on it to bring it up to an acceptable standard. I won't be tempted back again no matter how cheap it is!

I was initially dubious about trying the restaurant based on local opinion but opted to at least try. In a party of 4 for an evening meal which I ordered lasagne. We had a long wait for drinks and food was lacking quality. Lasagne tasted ok however very small portion, very oily from cheap cheese, frozen chips and sorry looking side salad. This restaurant requires a revised menu and improved food or it will fail.

Fuimos a través de una oferta de groupon para nuestro primer aniversario de boda. Pensé que sería agradable y ambiente acogedor. Tan pronto como entra el pasillo parecía un edificio muy tradicional y antiguo, pero eso no impidió a menos que fuimos dentro de la habitación. Lo que el infierno era.. Incluso la habitación era o qué? ? No la habitación de hotel parece esto? ? Creo que era mejor para nosotros para alojarse en nuestra propia casa y la propia sala, que es mucho mejor que este hotel. Había agujeros y grietas en la pared de la habitación. Muy básico. La única cosa positiva de este hotel era la comida. La comida es excelente y grandes porciones de tamaño.

This was a 5 pm deal. Extremely Cheap at £69.00 per couple, 2 nights bed and breakfast with dinner and a glass of wine the first night. The dinner may have been pub grub but it was very good pub grub. Fresh, tasty and plenty of it. The staff were friendly and helpful . The only disappointing aspect was the rooms. They are badly in need of a makeover. The beds were a tad uncomfortable too. In having said that everything was so clean. It's a shame really because this place has a lot going for it.

Myself and husband came to the anchorage for a meal with our friends who were visiting from England the food was not up to standard no one enjoyed their meal. when we were asked how the meal was we confirmed we didn't enjoy it and it wasn't nice but no notice was taking by the girl and she just sent another girl over with the card machine to pay for our meals which we did and couldn't leave quick enough. Myself and young son both had a very uncomfortable weekend due to the food not being satisfactory and I made the staff aware of this when I phoned to first put in my complaint the next day. The service from the staff was very much like they couldn't be bothered which is a shame as I was recommended to come for dinner here.I then phoned up to make a complaint and was told the manager was too busy to take my call and that the manager checks in guests etc so I was told the manager would call me back - the manager never called back. I contacted the anchorage on three occasions and no one wanted to take my complaint on I then wrote an email and again no one took any notice.I am disgusted by the service I got and how I was treated and the manager is utterly disgraceful to not return a call to a customer regarding a complaint i phoned several times I emailed and nothing!!! I am waiting still to this day! I have nothing nice to say about the anchorage and very much will encourage people not to eat here. It is common courtesy to take feedback and especially if it's a complaint it should be taken seriously but all the staff clearly tried to avoid my complaint including the manager very disrespectful. I am more annoyed at my calls not being returned or my email not even responded too I think this is bad people skills from the staff and manager and my business certainly won't be at the anchorage again. Awful staff! Awful customer service! Awful in general! Avoid anchorage!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just back from a weekend break via a Groupon deal. After reading the reviews I was a bit worried about the bedrooms. Our room was simple, but it was clean with fluffy towels and clean linen. Nothing to complain about. I can't compliment the staff enough. They were so pleasant and helpful. A special mention for Jennifer who was on reception during our stay and made us feel so welcome. The management should be proud of their staff.. As part of our deal we had a 2 course dinner on the first night and a glass of wine. We all enjoyed our meals. They were delicious. Highly recommended but if you like 4 star bedrooms this is not the hotel for you.

We came here for a late lunch while touring the area and trying to find a parking place for our motorhome ( had to park it several streets away!). It is a typical old pub , rather dark inside. The garden looked nice but it was a bit too cold to sit out. The restaurant was dog friendly The menu was quite extensive and varied. We ordered pan fried scallops with parma crisps. The scallops arrived wrapped in quite thick bacon (under done on the bottom) and the scallops tasted as if they had been boiled rather than pan fried. Disappointing.

The Anchorage Hotel pub and restaurant is well situated in Troon on its prominent Templehill frontage. The pub bar and restaurant are cosily placed is a large room with a big central bar, run by really friendly youngsters. Drinks are relatively expensive, but restaurant dishes (obviously, mostly fish) are between £10-£15. There are a few meat options on offer. I have to comment on the excellent and clean lavatories decorated in pale blue and cream!! There is good and easy parking in front of the hotel.

Big mistake ! over priced and not that friendly.We were told at 10.30 pm that last orders and in no time were on our way out .I come from Troon and have always looked forward to a visit to the Anchorage but on this occasion was very disappointed.I have over the years been in and out of this place when under different names and as a young girl enjoyed loads of evening here .but will not rush back this visit .Who knows maybe the British Open was too much for them a couple of weeks before my visit ???????

stayed here with the wife 5/8/16 and I can assure you I will never be back, the add stayed a bottle of wine on arrival, which we never received, when we asked about it the following day we were handed a miniature bottle of wine, as for the breakfast they advertise with black pudding, I said I don't want black pudding with my breakfast and her reply was its fine we don't have any, no offer of a replacement item for my wife who ordered the black pudding, Troon is a beautiful place but the anchorage is not a beautiful hotel

Love the anchorage in Troon for the delicious fish and chips and the to die for macaroni and cheese. The chef even shared the recipe with me.

Returned after a couple of years away, due to not coming to the area, I was apprehensive but the food menu continues to be extensive and interesting, not to mention good value, and the service at table and at the bar is attentive but not intrusive.

I visited the Anchorage hotel for dinner with a visitor from Yorkshire recently. The menu was extensive and offered a few non run-of-the-mill options on the menu. The bar became busy but the service was very good. Our meals were well cooked and very tasty. Service was very friendly and efficient. This is well worth a return visit.

Just prior to the British Open Golf Tournament stayed at this hotel. The staff were so helpful and the food was fantastic. The best meal we have had while visiting Ireland and the U.K. In the last 5 weeks. Well done. Would recommend to everyone.

Well presented building , very olde worldy look, pleasant interior, again olde worldy appearance, nice staff and very attentive and pleasant. As for the food it arrived relatively quickly, but went downhill from there. Food was warm enough but not very pleasing, too many frozen items microwaved, i.e. Roast potatoes, veg, yorkies, and possibly mash too. the meat was ok, just, and overall not what I expected from such a promising start to our outing for lunch.The other dishes we ordered looked and tasted good, but when you go for Sunday lunch, the roast meal is the the most popular, but it fell by the wayside.

Das Essen war sehr lecker! Es dauert zwar ein bisschen länger als üblich, bis man das Essen serviert bekommt, aber wenns schmeckt, ist das völlig ok. Der Service war auch gut.

We were greeted with a friendly welcome and could sit wherever we chose. The staff were friendly though not intrusive and the menu comprehensive. You could choose from a more substantial meal or a light bite. The food was excellent and overall,very good value.

Stayed here on a few occasions over a few years, food is excellent however rooms are very very tired now. Would recommend eating and drinking here but not sleeping.

Very quiet in terms of customers. MTV playing a little loudly for my taste. Three members of staff working, so thought service would be great. Service was slow and staff not attentive. First item ordered was out, which on such a quiet day I would have expected the staff to know while taking the order (or even pointing out when handing the menus over). Food satisfactory.No desserts ordered due to slow service and annoying male member of staff who was keen to show his rapping 'prowess'. Not the traditional Sunday pub-lunch we were hoping for, but not terrible, just 'meh'.

The food here is great, the angel cut fish especially and the pizzas are good... But they really need to fix their ventilation. Every time for months I pickup food the atmosphere in the shop is very smokey and hard to breathe. Think what it must be like for the poor staff who work there day in day out? Can't be good for them!

This is the last Brewers Fayre in Scotland i hadn't visited (now that they have closed the Glasgow ones) So i needed an excuse to tick it off. I was staying next door. The staff were very friendly , there weren't that many but they still seemed to be everywhere and on hand when needed. It wasn't that busy that evening but more did come in throughout the visit. The food service was quick and the meal was tasty. Just disappointed you have now got new kitchen doors which don't match the other ones with pentagon shaped windows! The area we sat in had clearly been freshened up recently with newpaint and carpets.

Maddie was friendly, efficient & made us feel welcome, she couldn't have done enough for us and even though it was late on when we came in, she was excellent.
