Room is a little too small, the view was beautiful.
Food was really good and good portions.
We felt breakfast at 9am could have started a bit earlier.
Very clean,the little pots with tea and coffee in the room was nice.
Staff friendly and helpful.

Pretty location
Very pretty location, room with river view. Staff friendly and helpful, lovely food. Room very compact, not much storage. Could have done with bedside cabinets. No curtain or blind in bathroom which i feel was essential as the glass was clear and there were other rooms overlooking us.

Lovely riverside inn
Delightful inn with lovely views across the river and surrounding countryside.
Staff are friendly, welcoming and helpful.
The room, although compact, had everything we needed with ample storage for a few days clothing, a comfortable bed and tea & coffee facilities.
The ensuite had a good, but not spacious, shower, however, the window was clear glass without a blind and it did feel like you were a little exposed when using the bathroom.
Breakfast was excellent with a good range of choices.
Optional lunch or dinner dining is also very good but it is advisable to book. The garden offers some lovely tables for dining riverside if the weather permits.

One night business stay
Very nice country side hotel very clean and tidy. Perhaps could do with modernising
My only complaint is the curtains are very thin letting the morning sunlight in way to early 4am , could do with black out curtains otherwise no problem

Stunning riverside location
Stunning location next to the River Exe. Comfortable room overlooking the river and gardens. Very breakfast in terms of choice, quality and service. One or two issues with the room were raised with the management, but nothing that we expect to reoccur for future guests. We wish the operators every success in this venture.

Extremely underwhelming
Very disappointed I must say. Having spent £70 a night expect a lot better. Bathroom light flickered all the time, two lights in the entrance to the room didn't work at all and when I mentioned that they was aware. The biscuits supplied was over a month out of date and when I complained they went to find more and came back with the excuse the supplier must've send an out of date box, this is a health and safety issue! Got the whole feeling the room at been unoccupied for a while. Finally the shower took near 10 minutes to get hot

Great break at the Anchor Inn
From the moment we arrived to the moment we left the staff were friendly and efficient. It was a very happy experience staying at the Anchor Inn. Exmoor is a wonderful area of the country and everyone we came into contact with were friendly and very welcoming.
