The Anchorage Hotel in Isle of Anglesey

I spent one night at the hotel for a business trip. The hotel is situated in a beautiful location, the person who helped me was very friendly and helpful and the room was very nice with a good view.

Beware, weary commercial traveller this place does not do food but the beer is good and the staff are friendly and chatty rooms are a little dated but clean and warm

Very basic and in need of some tlc but it's handy for the ferry.

Beautiful view of water, close to some nice restaurants. David was top notch and all too happy to assist.

Requires some modernization but very comfortable rooms !

Don't be fooled by references to "Restaurant" on their own web site and elsewhere. They no longer have one. Fortunately I discovered this when I phoned to book a table and was able to cancel my Expedia booking to get a refund on the room.

Nice little hotel. Very friendly owner. Big comfortable bed, clean

Smelly dirty rooms with broken toilets and blinds, absolutely disgusting, owner was an unhelpful and ignorant buffoon!

We stayed for one night in a double room. Room was clean and tidy with a few toiletries and tea and coffee making facilities. The hotel is nicely situated with a lovely view. There is a large carpark. The staff were friendly and helpful especially reception and the waitresses in the restaurant. The restaurant food was excellent and we enjoyed our stay.

Terrible not recommending this place in 100 years. Find somewhere else the food and service is so poor.

Hotel situated at 4 mile Bridge, Anglesey. Been run by 2 brothers for last 40 years. Very welcoming

Stayed dreadful smell in room bathroom filthy avoid this place

Had a lovely relaxing afternoon in the bar. Evening meal wasn't brilliant but edible. The room we had was for disabled. The hand bars were full of dust and the paint was peeling of the pipe on the radiator. The first thing you saw as you walk in is the black marks on the window frame. Needs a new blind in the bathroom. Once these are sorted it will be a much better room.

Amazing food and service thank you 😊

The bedroom was ok albeit a little shabby. The bathroom was grubby and had mildew around the bath, which an attempt had been made to cover up with a thin layer of fresh sealant. The bathroom floor had been swept for sometime, not nice The staff are friendly but rushed, clearly understaffed. The breakfast was pleasant enough although the grilled tomatoes were replaced with tinned which wasn’t mentioned at the time ordering. I feel this hotel is overpriced for what you get.

Perfect for what I needed. Single room, good price, excellent breakfast and comfortable bed. Restaurant food was great and not expensive. Staff all very helpful. Would stay again in the blink of an eye.

I stayed for one night whilst attending a motorcycle event at the nearby circuit. It really is OK, room was good, a very vibrant bar/restaurant. Staff all very friendly, what is not to like, I will be back on my next visit.

Lovely room with sea view (no 2). Great beer in bar, food in restaurant, and breakfast. An ideal stop before getting the ferry to Dublin.

Staff very friendly and professional

Stayed here yesterday 15/8/23 very rude receptionist!! Had no Internet signal in room so called the reception to let them know as i needed it for work, the guy said to go by the room door for signal. We still weren't able to get signal so i went down to the reception to ask for help, the guy just laughed at me and said "We cant have Internet everywhere all the time" when i explained they i needed it for work he continued to laugh at me, shrugged and started to walk away saying he cant do anything about it. Also there was paint peeling off the bathroom ceiling. We had tea bags that had nothing to identify what flavour they were (tasted like hay). The rooms were very dated and full of spiders. Not worth the £120 i paid for the room to be treated like less than dirt, ill definitely never stay here again !!

Nice and what appeared to be family run pub & restaurant. Ate in restaurant once and following night ate in pub as didn't want a huge meal. Although menu was the same, it was possible just to have starters in pub. On both occasions, the food was very acceptable and staff helpful & friendly. Not huge menu but big enough to offer reasonable choice.

Awful service and food cooked by a child in my view. Will never return as we stayed overnight as well in a filthy and unpleasant room.

Absolutely wonderful stay, lovely views and tasty home made steak and kidney pieces. Only a mile or so from the very beautiful Treador bay

Called in when passing through got seated quickly and the waitress was very nice and friendly made sure we were happy throughout she also had a lovely sense of humour

Friendly and quaint countryside hotel.

Only popped in for a drink with dogs, friendly landlord very clean toilets oldy worldy pub lovely atmosphere

The only thing letting the place down was the dinner menu as it was pretty standard and unimaginative. It was over priced for what it was. Everything else was superb with the rooms being nice and spacious with a nice relaxing ambience. The staff were lovely with a willingness to be helpful.

Popped in for lunch. Great service and open prawn sandwich is always a favourite. Thank you.

Great hotel, amazing views a little gem 👌 lovely breakfast from the restaurant and has its own pub with beer garden.

This is a nice place it's nothing to exotic just I nice quiet pub restaurant outside of holyhead. Cost about £7/£15 depending on the time you travel into holyhead by taxi. Off road parking. Quiet area. Some nice walks can be had from here along the tidal River so be careful to check high tide before you go. The hotel it's self was nice bed was comfortable shower and toilet TV. Would stay again and would recommend. Can't comment on the food here as I didn't eat but should have as couldn't really find a lot of choice in holyhead itself.

Asked for 10 chips off my older child's meal to be put in a bowl for my baby, they charged us £4.50 for this and give it her on porcelain plates🫣 each time I've been here it's disappointing. Reserve a table and the high chair they provided was that filthy I didn't really want to put my baby in it. Definitely had never been washed. There's always something they haven't got on their menu and what they do have they always get the order wrong.

Can not believe how unfriendly the staff were. I complimented them on their beer and food, which was excellent, we spent a lot of money on food and drink, but the staff were uninterested. Breakfast was a disaster, they took my food order, but never asked me about tea or coffee, so fresh orange was all i drank.

We went to the Anchorage Hotel for the restaurant this was our second visit the food is 1st class lovely surroundings inside and out xant wait to go again

Did not stay in hotel,went for a meal for mothering Sunday. Pre booked family of four, two adults two children, food very good, service by very young staff good, £20 adult £15 children meals all charged at adult prices, £10 difference, not a big deal, £10 is not a lot to get worked up about, I didn't challenge it as I'm British and we don't, but for my £10 you get a 3* review. Food was very good though and will probably go back, I'll just take a extra tenna with me. X

Wow the place was lovely and clean and very warm and welcoming and the food was beautiful and well presented and it was worth the money I give it 💯 out of 💯 will go there again 😀

Very dependable home co9ked food of a great standard

All we wanted was a drink and a meal in a very large empty bar , we had 2 small dogs with us , and in an unfriendly way were told no dogs allowed. In times of many businesses struggling, I find being turned away amazing , maybe they were expecting a coach load !!!

Good food, friendly atmosphere, polite staff.

If you want to sleep before midnight, forget it! Above a pub & can loudly hear peoples murmuring conversations, intermittent loudly banging doors, tv/music. Really regretted staying here as I'd booked a room to sleep before getting up early for a trackday at Anglesey Circuit. I'll know not to stay here again, extractor fan also didn't function in the bathroom. Fine if you want to stay up all night I guess. There's a separate building to the main one with the pub, so that one might be quieter. Food was average in the evening and expensive. Breakfast was excellent and included from 7am. Staff were friendly and attentive.

Nothing special. Food was nothing to write home about for the price, service was only acceptable. Very young staff were very polite but clearly lacked experience and were clueless about the drinks menu. Decor is now dated. Hotel is for sale so probably end of the line for the current owners. Used to be a great pub years ago but has sadly lacked investment over the years.

The Anchorage Hotel has got one of the best seafood restaurants on Holy Island. Delicious seafood and fish dishes, very good wines, excellent service - a great place for a special occasion! Also, after the restaurant closes you can adjourn to the comfy, well-sorted bar and have a drink or two.

Very friendly staff, food & service very good 👌

Highly recommended Hotel restaurant! Quality Food and Services! Very popular with locals, best to make reservations

Dated but adequate rooms, food good and staff very proficient

Great hotel. Lovely staff and brilliant value food. Love the steaks. Breakfast will keep you going all day.

This place has the best food on the isle of Anglesey. 100%

We stayed for 2 nights and found that the manager wasn't very accommodating. The room although was clean there was black mold in the silicone. On a plus side the food was beautiful and the waitresses were very polite .

Tea making facilities in room were dirty and unusable. Stained mugs and mucky grimy glasses. Stunning view of inland sea was ruined by dirty window and filthy soffits. In the bathroom, toilet seat did not fit on bowl. Only few sheets of toilet paper, no spare roll. Shower controls broken at tap, shower curtain mouldy and couldn’t move rings along rail without manhandling each one. Old used bar of soap in dish. Huge dirty crack in washbasin. I could go on….

Fancy going back to the eighties? Paying fortune for microwaved food? Don't be able to sleep and shower with a corroded shower head surrounded by black mould? Visit this place!!! The food in the restaurant was worse than in a school canteen and therefore overpriced. I couldn't really eat it and wanted to go to a supermarket to get a meal deal as even a soggy Tesco sandwich would be nicer and cost a sixth of the price. The breakfast was okay and they had brown bread, so that was really nice because I wasn't expecting that, also the drinks we've ordered (beer and G&T) were served correctly and tasted as they should have. The room had one of the beds visibly leaning to one side, I've never seen such badly broken bed in my life, I don't think that they have worse even in a homeless shelter. The shower fittings were rusty, and there was black mould everywhere in the bathroom which is quite common in the UK hotels but the extent of this mould was much more than usual. The entire hotel looked like nobody has done any maintenance in past 40 years and it smelled that way too. The guests in the room above were running in the room for hours, so I guess that it must have been children and when we asked the reception to talk to them, they asked what we want them to do! Other than that the customer service was good. I wished that we stayed in a tent or Holiday Inn instead. I visit hotels for work all the time and even hotels that were half the price were nicer than this one. There was only one worse hotel than this and that was a half the price and hat cockroaches and it was in Dublin city centre but it wasn't too surprising because of the low price. If you pay over £120 per room you expect much better. If the room cost £65 per night and the restaurant food 1/3 of the price there would be no complaints because it would be expected for the price but we wouldn't stay there. We naively thought that if we pay this price, we get a decent room as everywhere else but that was clearly a mistake. I am writing this review because I wish that someone wrote this review before and we'd know what to expect, so we'd book somewhere else and didn't have spoiled weekend. Thankfully, the beautiful countryside and seaside fixed the unpleasant hotel experience. It costs hundreds of pounds to get there and back and being tired after the journey we were expecting decent food and be able to have a decent shower and food. I suppose that if the food wasn't so bad I wouldn't be as upset but when you are starving and there's nowhere else to go then you start to notice everything else. I used to work in hospitality, so I know when food is microwaved and I just don't think that it's acceptable to charge this sort of money for microwaved food. Also, the texture of the chicken breast was a little strange, like it started to disintegrate from the inside... which is probably a reason that I had ...let's say 'gastro- internal' problems afterwards, which I get approximately once in a decade. So, never again unless this place is completely overhauled and a competent cook hired, or we're just having a drink.

We had a lovely one night stay, eat in the bar, very nice. Breakfast was also very good. The staff were professional and helpful would stay again

We hadn't booked a table anywhere and after ringing several restaurants eventually rang Anchorage who could fit our group of 8 in. After an hour waiting for our food it became apparent why they had space....food eventually turned up over 90 minutes after we ordered. This was a real shame as the waitress was really friendly and helpful, and the food was also a decent quality but waiting this long for the food is unacceptable. Half the group were past it and no longer hungry by the time we were actually served.

Clean, friendly, good breakfast, nice restaurant and bar. Bus picks up right outside. Only complaint is the lighting in the bathroom (room 1) is terrible, it is too dull to apply makeup, shave etc.

This hotel massively helped out a family in need...we were pretty stranded without accommodation til a lovely lady (Tracey) at Trearddur Bay Hotel helped us find this place...the rooms are dated but really big and the breakfast was great...would definitely recommend this place for anyone travelling To/from the Holyhead Port. Thank you

Was in the annexe ,room was lovely and spacious with ample tea ,coffee and biscuits.the bath sadly had black mould on the silicone and the floor was not clean . Bed was comfy but the pillows did not have pillow protectors on and smelt because of that- we slept with towels on top of pillows. The garden for the dogs was fantastic and all staff and owner very friendly and welcoming . Breakfast was nice and offered plenty of choice and we had 1 meal in the evening and that was very good .

Great location. Food and service was great. Nice spot to sit out and have a drink.

Very slow service, quite expensive. Food OK but nothing special.

Hmmmmm. What to say ... we stayed 1 night after coming off the Dublin ferry to avoid a 150 mile motorbike ride home at teatime. We wish we had saved the £114 plus evening meal cost and just ridden home. Room no1 has mould in various places including on the window curtains. The shower sliding door jumps off its rail. The bathroom lighting is atrocious- used the mirror light instead. The bed is old. And we had to ask for a new toilet roll on arrival. On the upside, we enjoyed our evening bar meal and the 2 excellent young servers looked after us well.

Only went to the bar area downstairs and not the hotel, as we were staying up the road and wanted a pub that was close to us. We really enjoyed the pub though, plenty of local regulars in at the time which I had a brief chat with. I drink cask ale and the choice was Bass bitter, Beachcomber Welsh ale and Timothy Taylor Landlord. Decor was ageing but not unpleasant, pub area was huge, plenty of room with an adjoining restaurant/dining area.

Dined one evening while we were staying in Trearddur Bay. Food was very good,as was the service. Decent choice of food/drinks and fair vfm. Recommended.

Stopped here for a late lunch at the recommendation of some locals. It was very good. They offered multiple gluten-free options. Nice and pleasant service. Food was very good.

Lovely family run hotel, beautiful location, great customer service. Food was very good. Building is a little dated and could do with updating.

Great location and lovely staff. Nice relaxed atmosphere in the bar and restaurant with good food.

Really enjoyed our overnight stay. Anthony and all of the lovely staff made us feel especially welcome. I would thoroughly recommend. The Sunday dinner was delicious! Thank you.

Good lunchtime menu, very quiet. Can eat in or outdoors. Staff helpful. Good parking facilities.

Nice Cosy hotel . lovely views.great breakfast.handy for the Holyhead ferry

Didnt stay here but had food and drinks. Lovely staff and large portions.

Brilliant. Good service Good food at a decent price. Gluten free options available.

Lovely hotel and rooms were nice... food was excellent and service was quick, staff were all friendly and would definitely stay again. Thank you

I drove around here lot of times but I never came in, but today I was here for little get together to remember someone lovely. I was pleasantly surprised, food was tasty and restaurant and bar were nicely decorated. I think I will come for a lunch with my family again. Enough car parking space and view is just gorgeous.

Not a bad place for a pint. Food somewhat average, especially considering the prices are not low. Pleasant staff.

Lovely food 😋 great service and reasonably priced will be going again

My wife booked the Anchorage for a family get-together to celebrate my 60th birthday. The food, the service and the restaurant itself were all excellent. No complaints at all.

Lovely food Lovely staff as always

Food excellent, staff friendly and helpful

Owner was RUDE beyond belief. This used to be in the britstops guide. (a scheme where motorhome can park the night on the carpark in exchange for eating and drinking in the pub) I asked at the bar if the scheme was running and I could stop the night and what time evening meal started. The lady said the hotel was no longer in the scheme and I'd have to wait for the owner to find out if I could stay. I asked her what time evening meals started (6pm)..i told her I'd wait in my camper and pop back at 6. I get in my van, within minutes the owner taps on my window. "No we don't do britstop, this is a private carpark so if you'd just.... (leave) he turned and walked off!! Now he may have had issues with britstop in the past but he certainly didn't have any reason to have issues with me. Prior to him knocking I had decided to eat there regardless of whether I could stay.. He didn't treat me like the customer i was planning on being. More like dog dirt he wanted off his shoe... Anyway needless to say I didn't waste any time in leaving. What a rude man... Never likely the tired and dated pub was empty.

Always super tasty food here, and proper size portions too!

Very nice turkey and trimmings off the Xmas menu. Baileys. Cheese cake. 👍👍

Haven't stayed here but great for a drink. Friendly service

I didn’t stay I came for takeaway food. Specifically asked for the salad separate, it wasn’t separate, my food was drenched in lemon and inedible. This is the 2nd time it’s happened so I won’t be going back.

We had a lovely meal 😋 the staff were so loving helpful. Thank you x

Great family run establishment! Home cooked food, reasonably priced with a welcome from behind the bar when you walk in. Locals happily mix with holidaymakers creating a friendly atmosphere for all, well worth a visit!

Excellent Buffet Lunch for our Ladies group, food and hospitality first class. Will be returning.

Really nice Sunday dinner looks to be very clean and tidy, the staff were friendly and helpful

The team and the food was amazing nothing was too much trouble the portion sizes were massive definitely value for money if we are back in the area again would definitely go back thankyou for fitting us in at the last minute

Good food and bar service. Nice clean room with a view. Very comfy bed.

Comfortable family run hotel nothing to much trouble

Great service and lovely staff.

Only went in for a drink but had a good selection and they poured a good pint.

Accommodated us mid afternoon whilst waiting an hour for a taxi at appointed time. This after we had walked 10 miles. Even supplied daily newspaper to read. Cannot give 5 star as we only enjoyed bar drinks at this venue.

Quick service, friendly,even when busy

Amazing stay, lovely rooms, best breakfast I've ever had , 😎😎😎

Good quality food and excellent service!

The hotel is pretty tired (no surprise after the Covid squeeze I guess). Walls were paper thin, in our room we heard all sorts from kitchen, reception, stairway, and carpark! Manager was very welcoming. Biggest downer, was they called themselves "pet friendly", but at best "pet tolerant" - wasn't allowed to drink/eat in the bar with our dog, were only allowed to eat in the soul-less restaurant along with one other couple.

Really a nice stay. Hotel is little far from city but at peaceful place. Rooms were real clean. Bedsheets and pillow covers were almost new type clean, so being a OCD person I was happy. Washroom were clan. Breakfast items can be multiplied, although many other options are available like- museli, milk, yogurt, tea, coffee, bread-toast, cornflakes,etc At night they make beautiful romantic ambience for diners.

Very nice - but prices reflect the fact we have had lockdowns !!!

Very clean and tidy, but very dated it's still in the late 60s early 70s decor.

Love this hotel great service food great nothing to much trouble room lovely with great views

We started going here about three years ago, the food then was brilliant, great steaks, excellent sides and a lovely sea food lasagne. Since then each time we've been that quality of the food has got worse and worse - the sides disappeared, the lasagne was taken off the menu - our most recent visit being the worst when the steaks looked as if they'd been boiled! Such a shame as it used to be so good.
