Blue Anchor Vacations from $1,434

Best hotel we've stayed at for ages the guy on reception was really helpful made it a really pleasant relaxing stay really comfortable bed and perfect shower would stay again was worth the money

Beautiful location. The hotel was perfect with friendly and attentive staff, fantastic facilities and delicious food. The spa was perfect too!

This is a charming, characterful, historic hotel that marries its long history with the modern world perfectly. The rooms are spacious, clean, modern, and provide excellent amenities. The beds are comfortable and the bath/shower, towels, etc most satisfactory. The common areas, bar, restaurant, and pub are good. Table service for all meals could have been a bit better, but was not a major fault. Where this hotel really lets itself down is the breakfast. You have to book at time, which is understandable given the limited space in the dining room. Breakfast is entirely table service with the exception of juices. If you want anything from a coffee machine, you must pay extra, but you may have a pot of cafetière coffee - fine. There are several hot breakfasts on the menu, and you may have toast. However, if hot and greasy doesn’t excite you, and you prefer yoghurts, fruits, mueslis, etc., prepare to be disappointed. There is one thing only on the menu with yoghurt: a granola mango purée pot. Fruit would come in the guise of the only fruit salad on the menu: melon, orange, and tinned pineapple. The quality of the hot breakfast was not special - just adequate. As breakfast is such an important part of a day when you are away from home, and not finding a decent basic spread can mean the difference between starting the day motivated and starting in dismayed, I am forced to dock some points in my review.

Hot plate at breakfast. Toast on a toast rack. No grouping around a toasting machine!

I ended up booking this on a lark, and what great fortune it was! The location, the attention to details, the fluidity of welcoming attentive and informative staff to impeccable grounds, made it a memorable stay. They combine high end service w/ a feeling of being at home, I will most definitely be booking with them again. Highlights: Spa inclusion w/ room stay (sauna, steam bath all pools especially heated outdoor!) location: coastal pathway to St Charles. Nature walks, no cars to everything I wished to visit. Fabulous ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
