We are still staying at this wonderful hotel, and we just want to say a heartfelt thank you for an amazing experience! Everything here is at the highest level, the cleanliness is impeccable, and the staff are incredibly kind, attentive, and professional. The food in the hotel’s restaurant is something truly special, a unique fine dining experience, especially the seafood dishes, which were absolutely exquisite. Even the breakfast stands out, with high-quality ingredients and a wide variety of delicious options. In our room, we found complimentary water, coffee, tea, chips, and, most impressively, homemade cookies, which we assume were made by the hotel’s own team. Such a thoughtful touch!…

Guest reviews
Vaughans Anchor Inn averages 4.5 out of 5 across 1,204 reviews. A selection, quoted as written:
I dined here at the weekend and had the best experience. The staff are fantastic; very, very professional and welcoming. The decor is nice and modern, and the food is without a doubt Michelin star worthy, more than worthy, as you can see from the pictures. Well worth a visit here. My only gripe was the cocktails, they were not traditionally made.. for example the whiskey sour was missing bitters and the old fashioned was fizzy. I have never had a fizzy old fashioned, and I would not have ordered it had I known it would be carbonated. The drinks menu should reflect what cocktails you have on offer, in addition to your own spin on drinks. However, still 5 stars, I had a lovely time here.
Anyone who leaves less than 5 stars must be very unlucky or dead inside! The friendliest staff, delicious food, comfortable rooms and a wonderful atmosphere. Did I mention how brilliant the staff are? Go for the Tattinger Champagne experience. Great value.
