The Anchor Inn in Argyll & Bute

Chambre superbe. Cependant mauvaise isolation des chambres donc quand on tombe sur des fêtards 🥴. Fish and chips excellent surtout la purée de petits pois. Accueil chaleureux. J’ai adoré cette convivialité.

We stayed for 6 nights and were truly sad to leave. The staff are an absolute blast, the food is 5* and the rooms are some of the nicest we've stayed in. We're already talking about booking another stay here.

Had a brilliant stay with my brother at The Anchor Inn as part of our walking trip doing the Three Lochs Way. We were greeted by the lovely staff who showed us our room and couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful. All staff member were brilliant, especially the gent behind the bar who went over and above helping me find suitable material to stuff into my sodden walking boots! It was greatly appreciated and made the following days walk much easier. Food was great and service top notch. Room and bar were lovely, very clean and well stocked! High recommend to anyone visiting Garelochhead ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Set in a beautiful landscape The Anchor Inn have priceless hosts in Chris and Jamie, these guys owning the rare quality of professional hospitality in an entertaining casual atmosphere which had us returning again this year, the food and facilities well above average, we can highly recommend a visit to this place, You will not be disappointed

Booked very last minute as a stop over having read the reviews. They weren’t wrong. This place is a real gem, room was clean and spacious with parking right outside. Staff were really welcoming, a special mention to Chris for making our day and ensuring the end to what had been a difficult week was much better! Food was delicious and fresh, wish we could have stayed for brekkie but had to get to the airport. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay, well worth a visit.

Well have you seen that famous Scottish movie Local Hero with Burt Lancaster. Well if you have then this is the place for you.I got into the bar to register and it was full of the locals. It appeared dark and dingy having came in out of the glorious sunshine across the shimmering loch. I was welcomed by Pacho and Jamie two of the nicest blokes you would want to meet and spend time with. Yes they are both Scots. Very casual and polite. MAKE SURE YOU BOOK YOUR BREAKFAST AT THIS POINT ( the only downside to my visit). The rooms are outback in beautiful whitewashed cottages. The rooms are small but absolutely spotless. The ensuite shower room is immaculate. No wardrobe only a coat hanger rack. The rooms are so good this was not an issue. That evening I went into the bar and it was buzzing. I was alone but everyone was so friendly and ended up getting two pints bought for me. That would not happen in the Hilton! I came down for breakfast and didn't realise there had been a breakdown in communications and l ended up getting someone else's breakfast because l had not booked mine. Spoke to Chris who was the breakfast monitor (Manager) and he was so apologetic. The breakfast was small but really nice. Stornaway black pudding was a delight. Like Local hero outside was really quiet and peaceful with only the sounds of the birds. A great escape from the city. Small boats at anchor in the Loch which is very scenic. I made my way around the Loch and bumped into Anglers fishing for mackeral. They once again were so friendly. One guy offered me a wee dram, which of course l accepted. I wandered along the Loch until I was opposite Faslane Naval base home of our Nuclear defence deterrent. There is constant surveilance around here from the base with patrol boats on the Loch. You can see the Submarines tied up, Very interesting. This is it! Went down for my breakfast and no one was there. No kitchen staff,no one in the office. Went around the building and it was empty. Finally spotted someone through the front door and it was the chef. She told me that breakfast had finished because no one else had booked and they were all gone. I pointed out that my wife and myself were still here. Emptied my stuff into the car and went back to hand my key in but there was no one there. I left my key with a builder and headed off. All in all a fabulous weekend and highly recomended. Thank you to all the staff there you were all stars. You could not plana better weekend. ps; Couldn't pay for the breakfast l had on Saturday.

Great Guinness, Good Food. Incredible hospitality. Group of 10 hillwalkers stayed here overnight & everyone enjoyed our stay. From booking until departure the hospitality we got was top class. Bar staff couldn’t be any nicer & a big mention to Chris who looked after us. Some man . Rooms were perfect. Dinner was excellent & the pints were flowing . Would defo recommend.

We stopped in here twice for drinks and coffee after out walking. Service was excellent, got an open fire and staff very welcoming. Shame only sell food at certain times Given it’s an area for walkers, cyclists and climbers could do with even soup n sandwiches during the afternoon. Ate lots of crisps but left hungry

We found ourselves stranded in Garelochhead. Heading from an overnight stay in Arrochar on our way home to Renfrewshire & East Ayrshire. Due to extreme flooding, fallen trees & landslides, all roads were closed completely. Initially, we went into The Anchor Inn for a 'comfort' break, but found a lovely wee corner (table & chairs) where we were allowed to charge our phones. We decided to order teas/coffees, which we were pleasantly surprised to find, were free of charge for everyone. Good auld Scottish hospitality at it's best. After we'd been there a few hours, we ordered ourselves some food. Two of us had burgers, and two had steak pie. All of us really enjoyed our food, (approx £15 ea). Not long after we'd finished dinner, we were informed that one road had been reopened. For us, it would be a long way round, but worth it, if it meant we could eventually get home that night. We were so grateful for the hospitality shown by The Anchor Inn, and in the future, would consider booking one of their rooms upstairs. On a nice day, it's in the most perfect location. Right by the loch side, beside the Post Office & a few shops. The staff were lovely and the place itself had a very welcoming environment. Well be back, by choice, next time 😊

Lovely place, great service, the lassie that served us couldn't have been any nicer, meal was lovely to 😋💜

What a fabulous place. The staff are amazing, so helpful and polite. The food is amazing, I highly recommend the breakfast, the eggs, fantastic. The rooms are very comfortable definitely a place to stay. And the view from my room, awesome.

My husband and I have just come back from a weekend at The Anchor Inn. From the moment we arrived, we were made very welcome by the staff and locals. We were taken to our suite at another building behind the inn. The suite had a great view, was very spacious, and clean. The king bed was VERY comfortable. The food was amazing and very reasonably priced. We had drinks in the bar with locals and tourists alike; great times. The breakfast, again, was excellent; the scrambled egg especially. All staff were very friendly and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect, and it was. We shall certainly be back to this excellent inn surrounded by beautiful scenery. Thank you for looking after us. Shell and Chris

Visited a few times as part of a family holiday just a short walk down the road. The staff and their hospitality were excellent, very accommodating and friendly as well as looking after our dog with a smile. Cracking village pub

Really comfortable room and very clean. The pub food was excellent and without the question the friendliest service I’ve ever had. I’ll be coming back for sure

Mooie tussenstop met alles wat je nodig acht Ruime kamer, goede douche compleet, gratis WIFI , moderne bar rest, Goede menukaart kortom een aanrader on the route to isle of Skye

I had a great stay at The Anchor for two nights. Received a very warm welcome. I had a lovely room above the pub and it was spotless and comfortable. The heating was already on when I arrived. My bag was even carried to my room,a rare thing these days. I booked the gluten free breakfast and it was delicious,as was the lamb curry I had. Staff were very friendly and attentive. As a solo female guest I felt safe and welcome I would definitely stay again

Stayed here for a business trip. The staff are really friendly. Chris is an excellent barman and made us feel welcome. Rooms were clean and tidy. It featured a desk to work at and a comfortable bed. The bathroom was decently sized with under floor heating. The food was excellent. The chefs curry of the day was always a good choice for dinner and the steak pie was also divine. The Scottish breakfast was also great. I had a brilliant view of the loch from my room too.

Ignore your first impressions as once you are inside the staff could not be more welcoming. We had a minor problem with the lighting in our room and were upgraded immediately. Visited the restaurant and had a great meal, reasonably priced. Would definitely stay again if passing.

Clean modern rooms with great views. Food is excellent and cooked to perfection . I’ll definitely be visiting here again as the staff are really friendly and can’t do enough for you.

Thank you to the owners sister in the shop next door for calling her bother to let us in , as we were early . Really appreciated that . Check in was quick . We had two rooms , the couples room was really nice ( shower was amazing ) . My mother in law room was not too amazing but she was really happy with it . Afternoon was spent happily in beer garden , locals made us feel so welcome . Dinner in the pub was great , really tasty food . Lastly I would like to say that the chef was the nicest person and the cleaning crew were amazing X Thank you for a great stay .

Recently stopped here for 4 nights on a motorcycle trip around the area, on first impressions externally it was a bit off putting, but inside WOW absolutely wonderful very clean very modern, comfortable beds, amazing showers, the staff were more than helpful and the chef was top notch, hopefully I will return soon, the picture is the view from the bedroom window

Friendly Pub and good food.Even put Man Utd game on when Rangers on tele. Reasonble prices and a good watering hole as the weather was horrible outside.Also has a pooltable and dukebox

Great service, well prepared for a large group. Friendly staff. The food was good with lots of choice too. Altogether a great atmosphere, thanks!

no where to park loud disco music no sleep . breakfast raw sausage not good razor wire e my avery where . no football shirts allowed in bar does that just not say it all.

Hotel pulito, accessoriato dei principali confort, personale gentile, unica pecca il lavandino piccolissimo.

Dit is het enige restaurant in Garelochhead waar je een hapje kunt eten. Daarom hier twee keer gedineerd: eenmaal de hamburger genomen (was prima) en eenmaal de ‘steak and ale pie’ (was voortreffelijk). Ook een mooi aantal biertjes bedchikbaar

Stayed the night of the 20th while working at the nearby base. Booked online for me by my employer which normally means the cheapest or with little thought for me! Arrived and was warmly greeted by the Owner and then shown to my room. The room was really nice and impeccably clean and fresh. There were more than enough clean towels pillows, coffee, hot chocolate, biscuits and shampoo in the shower and a dryer (should you need one). Free Wifi with good connection and a charge points. Really nice atmosphere and the staff were really good even in the morning when the chef seemed run off his feet the breakfast was perfect and he was extremely courteous and attentive. I rarely leave reviews but when you receive great service I try and make sure I let people know. This place is the real deal. I actually wish I could have stayed longer and walked along the water front. Really nice place professionally run but with the service you only get from proper family run businesses. Highly recommended.

Quite a nice little local, and a good job too given that there is little choice! Nice fire and some typical pub grub.

If you arrive on a dark damp winters night in a strange village with lots of luggage and find gravel tracks and icy pavements and no cabs then the Anchor is for you (is). A roaring hearth a lovely menu and well-cared for ales - you can’t ask for more.

We spent our wedding anniversary at The Anchor Inn last weekend.We stayed in The Gareloch Suite which is a really large apartment behind the pub itself. It is modern and impeccably clean with a decent outside space to the rear.TV, WiFi etc etc (a mini-fridge would have been welcome but hardly a show-stopper).Staff couldn’t have been more helpful throughout our stay.Breakfast options are really good too - cooked or continental available with lots of choice.All in all, a superb place to stay (and the location is stunning). We’ll definitely be back.

Nos alojábamos en el hotel por una noche, pleno noviembre, todo muy tranquilo. La cocina cerraba a las 8pm. Teníamos que pedir antes de menos cuarto así que nos plantamos en el pub a las 7:15, muy pronto para nosotros pero teniendo en cuenta que anochece a las 4:30pm ni tal mal. Pedimos unos entrantes a compartir £12. Y un plato de cordero cada uno (10,30£). Todo buenísimo, el cordero tierno y rápidos. Los demás platos también tenían muy buena pinta (la hamburguesa enorme). La carta era pequeña lo que creo que garantiza la calidad y la frescura . Repetiremos

We travelled by train to Garelochhead and popped in horror lunch. Good place and we had a nice lunch. Burger was superb. Well recommended.

We called in for lunch on our way to Faslane and had a lovely lunch of burger & curly fries and sausages & mash. Both dishes were excellent sized portions and proper tasty pub grub. We have two furchildren both of whom loved the fuss that they got and were made very welcome. Highly recommend!! Especially if you are RN serving or ex, as there is some nice memorabilia to look at. My ex RN was definitely on a trip down memory lane.

We had to pass through Garelochead in our way back to England and we stayed over night in one of the rooms that they are renting.

We went to the anchor inn for dinner, and we enjoyed it. Nice place frequented by locals. Recommend the hamburger with onion rings.

What a find. Great friendly pub in quiet Garelochhead. Staff and customers were very helpful and friendly. We shared a starters platter of buffalo wings, prawns, salad and nuch more..£17 between 4..brilliant. Rooms newly updated and very clean. Well done all round. Thank you

Only a complete fool would not give The Anchor 5 out of 5. Firstly it’s a pub, so it starts off as a 5 unless you know better. Plenty of beer, wine and spirits to select. Still a 5 then. Also very good pub grub at reasonable prices, another 5. Roaring fire is a 5. You’re in Argyll - 5. Staff friendly - 5. The definition of a top local pub which also is great as a visitor.

Doing some business up at Lochgoil and decided to stay over somewhere for a wee break. So glad we chose the Anchor Inn what a wee gem O.K. the weather was lousy but that certainly didn't detract from our stay the staff were wonderful nothing to was to much trouble for them the room overlooking the loch was spotless and freshly decorated by the looks of it. The bar has a large open fire that was really welcoming in this weather and the food was first class. We will defo be back for a longer break when the better weather is here. Would highly recommend this wee gem to anyone looking to explore Argyle.

We have visited the anchor 3-4 times now and must say the food is delicious, the portions are big and you get proper home cooked food here, we felt very comfortable eating here and they are also child friendly, the locals chat away to you and make you feel very welcome, the prices are reasonable also, so if your living locally or just passing through then I would strongly recommend the anchor, to be honest it's the best meal we've had in this area, it gets a tasty 10-10 from me.

I stayed in the B&B; attached to the Anchor Inn. The room was simply amazing, tastefully decorated and furnished. Shower room large and shower powerful. Comfy large bed. Quiet. Dinner in Anchor was delicious, steak pie melted in mouth, all locally sourced ingredients. Breakfast delicious. Staff very friendly and helpful. Stayed in Glasgow after this and hotel was certainly not up to the Anchor B&B; standard.

My son booked a room for one night for my husband and I as we were attending a function nearby. We were allocated room 13, a room with ensuite in a small annex at the rear of the inn. The room was small but spotlessly clean . The bed was extremely comfortable and there was a very good selection of complimentary teas, coffees and biscuits which puts many large hotel chains to shame! The ensuite shower room was spacious and had some lovely touches such as the digital clock embedded in the mirror. We would definitely recommend this accommodation.

Koffie besteld in dit, volgens mij, minder etablissement. Koffie was matig. Helaas door beperktheid van de bartender werd het een echt voetbad.

Pub accueillant. Personnel sympathique et souriant.

Paramos aquí para la cena una noche, una selección aleatoria. Las raciones eran muy buenas, y la comida era deliciosa. El servicio estuvo bien, excepto que informarnos las vasos. Sin ningún inconveniente para nosotros. Estábamos contentos de estar en del frío. Sin duda si volvemos atrás en el área de nuevo.

My Boyfriend and I stayed at The Anchors Inn for 4 nights as we were attending a birthday party. We were very happy from the moment we checked in. The staff are very nice and wanting to help. The breakfast and the Sunday lunch were...

I stayed at the Anchor Inn for a week and ate several meals there. Let's start with the stay there - fabulous room! Stayed in the Pheasant Suite, which is in one of the small cottages behind the pup on the upper floor. It was...

Estado aquí unas cuantas veces, personal amable, buena comida y precios razonables. Sin duda volveremos.

Beide gerechten waren boven verwachting.

Pub tradicional en el pueblo, el personal era lo suficientemente simpático y la comida parecía estar bien, los precios estaban bien así

We visited on Mothering Sunday evening having not eaten all day. We both had great roast beef and all the trimmings followed by a really nice cheesecake. Big portions of quality food with really friendly service. And the music was just as if we had chosen it at home. There aren't many places like this left, mores the pity, we wish it was our local.

In Kilgreggan for an event and made to feel so welcome in this great wee pub. Service was great and on a very cold, wintry day the atmosphere with the open fire, maritime decor and good old fashioned hospitality was just lovely. We had just missed the kitchen, but we'll be back as we've heard nothing but good things about the food. Hghly recommended!

I am currently staying here and have been so impressed so far. The room is immaculate with lovely toiletries. We ate in the pub last night and the food was no nonsense pub grub at a very reasonable price. The staff are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them. The cleaning lady was so friendly and clearly does a fantastic job. The breakfast was really lovely, hot and fresh.

For a village pub/bar the food is better than normally than expected with a reasonable range of choices. The interior is OK but nothing special and there is usually somewhere to park that is not too far away.

We are on holiday and we're looking for somewhere to eat this was just 5 mins away I had all day breakfast it was fab returned the following night food was just as good staff were very friendly and we were allowed to take dogs in local people very nice to well done will probably be in tomorrow night to

Generous portions of food which was hearty. Well done the background staff. However - we were asked to make sure we all sat in groups depending on what we had ordered as there were insufficient serving dishes to give each person their order individually. This was compounded by the bar running out of certain glasses for drinks as we ended up taking empty glasses back to the bar ourselves. The tin lid was as we were sitting chatting together and towards the end of the evening - the young duty manager made it perfectly clear, through his rude behaviour, that it was time for the group to leave. I am afraid I shall decline recommending a visit to this establishment, in the evening, with family. I hope that this experience is a one-off but from other accounts from locals it may well be more common than not.

A great little local pub, very friendly atmosphere and people, and a good offering of food and drinks. Service comes smiling and quick

We visited here Friday and Saturday evening September 2016 , Friday afternoon we called in on arriving in the village ,knowing it was the only pub we asked to book a table for the evening which was done with the bar staff. The bar/ eating area has only about eight tables , two of which are alongside the pool table . We returned at 6.30 in time for a drink before eating at seven ,the booked time . .We found the place full , mostly locals standing at the bar and what I would guess we're tourists occupying the tables . Unable to get a table we eventually left . Going up to the village in arrochar ,where we enjoyed a good meal.Saturday ,we returned to the anchor around 5 in the afternoon , it was quiet with plenty of table choice . We ordered sizzling beef and steak pie , The sizzling beef my wife assures me was ok , as was my pie , but as a previous review mentions came with tinned peas ,complete with water ! From the tin . .I could only say the meal was ok , staff very friendly . Get rid of the tinned peas and the food would be good basic pub grub.

Stopped here for lunch as the Green Kettle was closed. We didn't expect much due to it being a pub ( a drinkers pub! No fancy cocktails here ) which is fine in itself. If I was having a session with the boys then it would be a Great pub!Ordered the Beef & Ale pie with "creamy mash with spring onion" and my wife ordered Chicken Fajitas. Waited 15 - 20 mins which tells me that it was cooked to order. The pie arrived exactly as described piping hot and a generous portion. No fatty/gristle on the beef just melt in the mouth and the mash was perfect, both delicious!! My wife's fajitas were fantastic !! They were NOT swimming in gravy/sauce as so many are served this way. The chicken was moist and full of flavour coated in the correct spice, the peppers and onions were not over or under done. Again a generous portion.I know it's not hard to mess up steak pie and fajitas but so many places do. The Anchor scores top marks for serving simple, piping hot, very tasty and well presented food. The young man behind the bar served us with a smile, professionalism and politeness whilst taking care of his regulars at the bar. Both main courses were less than £9, great value.Overall we were both very happily surprised to have been served such a nice meal. I can and do recommend the Anchor and if I'm ever going on a "session" in Garelochhead then this is the place for me!!

We stayed at the green kettle inn just a few miles down the road and had dinner at the Anchor Inn. The food was very good (especially the Ale stew) and the waiter friendly. As tourist I'm always happy to see locals in the bars I go, and the Anchor Inn was full with locals and tourists alike. A good alternative considering there's not much choice in this part of Scotland.

My husband and I stayed here for one night and we were extremely happy with both the service from the staff and the accommodation. Booking in is done in the Anchor Inn itself, I thought the rooms were above the public house but we were shown to a chalet by Amy who was very pleasant and cheerful. She showed us to our room which is a short walk away from the Anchor Inn, the room was spotlessly clean and had a fantastic view of the Loch. The room as I said was spotless, it was a lot larger than most rooms we'd stayed in and loads of cupboard space. There was parking available right outside the room.It was lovely and quiet and peaceful. The breakfast the next morning was delicious all freshly cooked to order.I would definitely recommend this to anyone passing through the area and we would definitely stay there again.

Siamo arrivati per cena un po' tardi (prima delle 8 pm!) e ci hanno fatto attendere dicendo che se si liberava un posto entro 40 minuti ci avrebbero servito da mangiare. Non essendoci molte alternative nel piccolo paese abbiamo atteso. Ci sedevamo dopo circa dieci minuti e dopo altri dieci minuti si avvicinava il cameriere scusandosi (più volte) mentre ci comunicava che purtroppo lo chef aveva chiuso la cucina e non ci avrebbero quindi servito.

This was our last stop over before heading back home and we had picked it because of the all the good reviews (all bar a couple). To be fair, the room was very nice; big and newly refurbished. Lovely bathroom and fab shower. The bed was huge and very comfortable indeed! There was a shared area outside the 3 (3?) rooms where ours was located; a kitchenette and tv space. This was a bit odd but it became clear that this place was probably used by people working locally as a notice asked them to remove boots before entering. The views from our windows across the loch were great! Our room was above a local convenience store so we were woken by the metal shutters going up at some early hour (for a Sunday). We found the room rate to be good but people should be aware of the pub/restaurant part of their stay. We had expected pub grub so the very limited menu was no surprise but the small seating area within the main bar was pretty grim; very tired and the seats and tables sticky even after cleaning (which we had to request). The food was cheap and only just about passable. I've never had tinned garden peas in a pub restaurant before .... ! It was very noisy too, the music loud and tv on too .... At least the half dozen children were enjoying the pool table and riding their scooters in there I suppose! Breakfast was the highlight (I'm joking .... ). You have to pre-order the night before to allow them to get your cooked order ready for your chosen time, which is fair enough .... but .... when it did eventually arrive, much of it had been over cooked or kept warm for some time and was inedible! A special slice of Scottish sausage which was too hard to cut, over cooked bacon, shrivelled old mushrooms and crunchy black pudding! To be honest, we did not feel like complaining in front of the other guests and just wanted to leave quickly, but we were so disappointed. The other couple there at the time hadn't booked a cooked breakfast and so theirs did at least appear freshly made when it eventually arrived. I've rated this place 'poor' because of the pub/restaurant. The rooms are fine ..... although already there is evidence of a bit of a lack of care despite the newness of the refurbishment; marks on walls and ceiling in our room, handle missing in the bathroom and on a table drawer ...... I think the owners need to upgrade the bar and restaurant for sure to make this a nice place to stay.

We stayed at the Anchor Inn for 2 nights! We had a beautiful room called the Pheasant, decorated to a high standard!Staff were very helpful. The food was excellent and very reasonably priced.There was a karaoke Friday night and a live band called "Three's a crowd" Saturday night, the band was pretty good too. Well worth a visit, we will definitely be going back!

Nice pub, wine nice cool & crisp, my husband & I ate there, our food was lovely & well presented. Young guy serving was very polite, cheery and very helpful....unusual these days! Food was reasonably priced & served quickly.

Had a vary nice meal. We did arrive late when kitchen was winding down. Meals did take a while to arrive but atmosphere waz good and we got the impression of fresh cooked and mashed potatoes abd were happy to have wait /good food paypff

Nice room, authentic pub. Friendly staff. Good value for money. Nothing more to say but must reach 100 characters.

Das Essen ist ausgezeichnet, sehr lecker, frisch und nett angerichtet, das Personal ist sehr freundlich und die Ausstattung sehr urig und entspricht dem Namen. Frühstück ist ebenfalls frisch und reichhaltig und kann individuell bestellt werden. Preis-Leistung ist top

Very ordinary food, service, atmosphere we had fish and chips and haggis to start - very underwhelmed

Great wee bar excellent food and great atmosphere. Plenty of food on the plates especially the anchor burger

Staff were friendly and the service was quick. The food was tasty and the portions were very generous and great value for money. Definitely recommended if you go to Garelochhead

Unfortunately this Inn was not fully booked when I was searching for somewhere to stay so I booked it for myself, daughter and parents - double and twin sea view. The rooms were small and basic but clean except for the windows - so much for the sea view. We only ate breakfast which was okay and reasonable value for money. BUT... we stayed on a Friday night and our rooms were directly over the bar. We had loud music till 1 am, a constant stream of conversations as smokers stood under our window, the sound of glass bottles being thrown into a bin - presumably as the bar staff cleaned up. No quiet till after 1.30am and then woken by loud and busy traffic noise from 6am when I presume the convenience store opened next door. I had thought this would be a little quiet backwater - absolutely not. If you want a decent nights sleep check where your rooms are situated and better still go somewhere else - especially on a Friday night.

The accommodation was fantastic and amazing value for money. We had our evening meal in the pub. Lovely atmosphere and the value and portions of the food in the evening was amazing. We had breakfast after our stay and unfortunately as much as the portion size was massive the quality of the produce (including the very basic orange juice) could be improved. Hence a rating of 3 not 4.

Well I've never written a review in my life, but I was so so happy with my stay that I needed to share!!We booked the double deluxe sea view suite, and it was absolutely gorgeous! Brand new, looked fantastic, and a huge shower! I would go as far as to say it's the nicest room I've stayed in :) such a hidden gem! Just a couple of minutes drive from Faslane which was fantastic for us. The staff were so friendly! I'd had a bit of a sad morning but they cheered me right up, chatting away even after I'd paid for the room! I honestly can't wait to go back here already, one night just wasn't enough! Thank you so much!

A friend and I ate here while completing the three lochs way. The staff were friendly and there was a nice atmosphere. The food was reasonably priced and was exactly what we needed after a long day walking. It was tasty and fresh with generous portions (the fajitas were huge!!).Good jobs guys, and thanks!

This place is a hidden gem. The staff who work there are very friendly and always have a smile to great you. I wish I could find something to fault, but I can't! The accommodation is great and so to are the breakfast.

A very enjoyable stay here the room was spacious lovely big 4 poster bed bath was massive and good sized bathroom the bar area had great atmosphere the restaurant was average staff were friendly although the chef in the morning had music playing loudly at 8.30am that was only downfall everything else was great and would stay again

Lovely local pub, with good choice for lunch. We had two toasted sandwiches, which came with salad and coleslaw. Swift, friendly service at a good price. Stunning view across the loch, well worth visiting this hidden gem.

Ordered bar meals, was fantastic. Literally the best burger I've ever had, and the fish and chips was pretty awesome too.Thoroughly recommended if you're in the area.

The first thing to realise is that this is a village pub. As such it has to cater for as many customers as possible, therefore there is a wide cross-section of patrons from families in for a meal to locals just in for a drink. The decor and surroundings are much like you would expect in a village pub but it is clean and not unpleasant. The barman who has served us on our last few visits is very welcoming and the service is very good. The food is absolutely excellent and I'd be very surprised if anyone complained about the portion sizes. The Aberdeen Angus burger is served with a very generous side salad and coleslaw and hand-cut chips - very tasty. On our visits we have also had the chicken fajitas, fish and chips and chicken burger. The fajitas come with generous portions of wrap bread and salad with the chicken being served on a sizzling iron plate. To summarise, it is a traditional pub, serving much better than average pub food at a reasonable price. A main dish and drinks for four was under £40 and I would say very good value.

Good pub food and good value for money. Great atmosphere for a local little pub. Staff helpful and friendly. Worth a visit

A working mans pub we popped in for a pub lunch and it was excellent value for money. We were alsoAble to bring out little dog in too which was just brilliant thanks for lunch would recommend it if you have a dog with you

The bartender/waiter was pleasant and efficient. The steak and ale pie followed by an almond and raspberry tart was delicious. The ambience was old fashioned and enjoyable.

We've always loved the Anchor. Though we're not from the village, it was our local for many years, and never disappointed. The Anchor has changed considerably over the last 10 years to the excellent establishment that it is now, and when we can, for us, it's the perfect place for a good old Scottish brunch. It's gotta be the best breakfast for sale anywhere between our home on the peninsula and as far as Glasgow. Try it and see! The anchor is also a licenced bar, has B&B rooms,does great, all day and evening food, has a beer garden out the back, what's not to like?I stand by my comment about the breakfast being the best for miles around.

On 27 July stayed at pub for 4 nights,we stayed in the house near pub was very nice fab views,ate at the pub good food and big portions,staff were friendly thanks to Tracey who really made us feel welcome .

This is not a restaurant. It is a pub with food. That said, it is friendly and the food is acceptable with generous portions. We did not stay there so cannot comment on the accommodation or breakfast. If I was in the area and feeling peckish I would be happy to go again.

Our wee walking group from the Scottish Borders were made very welcome over the past week!Arlene welcomed us all at the beginning of our stay and Tracy provided us with great breakfasts each morning in the bar!Our rooms were very comfortable and great places to return to after a day in the hills.The 'Three Lochs Way' is a great walking challenge and was made very enjoyable by our base at the Anchor!

Nice little inn, with fantastic views of the lake, great food (I'd definitely recommend the burger!) set in a very quiet area (although it's on Garelochhead's main street!)...

I eat out in the anchor quite often..the kids meals are great, try the macaroni ,it tastes just like the one my gran used to make, really yummy..

Dropped in on Sunday for a quick pint,the staff were very friendly,a couple dropped in for lunch the food looked very tasty,very clean and tidy bar,I will try the food next time.

Me and two work colleagues popped in for a quick drink. The place is a bit of a tardis, quite big inside. The staff and the regulars inside were friendly and welcoming, shame we could not stay for longer.

Had The Anchor's Christmas 3 course dinner and it was fantastic, could not fault it and it was great value for money. Staff are lovely and friendly and atmosphere was great, highly recommend!!

A quaint, nautically themed Inn, overlooking the splendid Loch Lomond. We arrived late in the evening for an overnight say on business. A warm welcome greeted us on a wet and windy night which was greatly appreciated after a long day of traveling. The host was quick to show us to our rooms which were accessed by a slightly torturous path to an adjoining building. The rooms looked as if they had only just been newly appointed, and although slightly small, had a full sized double bed, large flat screen tv and tea/coffee making facilities and excellently decorated. The room contained an en-suite shower and toilet but a very small hand basin. The shower was electric with a good pressure and plenty warm enough. Talking of heat, the room was rather too warm for my liking and it was not possible to open the window. The only real criticism was that there was nowhere to set up a laptop. Overall very comfortable and the breakfast the following day was excellent, a full grill, toast and coffee was served piping hot.As this Inn is close to our business area it is highly likely we will be using it again.
