Anchor Guest House

Room was clean, comfortable and just what I needed after a long day driving and a trip to Skomer island. Staff were extremely friendly and made me feel welcome as a solo traveller. The restaurant was great, food amazing and again staff made me feel welcome. Being able to eat looking out on the sea was fantastic. Only downside was other people staying there weren't so mindful of others and slammed doors but that's not the fault of the staff or property.

Broadhaven is bucket and spade country and the Anchor Inn goes with the trend, a cheerful and unpretentious place of the traditional seaside variety. Despite having booked six months in advance, we were allocated a fairly ghastly ground-floor room at the back of the house with a view of the car park and trash cans, while on the other side of the house was a mile of sand and the sea; beware! The restaurant features an Italian touch, a little bizarrely perhaps, but the food is good and value for money, while service on our visit (a very busy day) was determinedly friendly but little short of chaotic. For an eating alternative, Littlehaven is a short walk away, via the beach at low tide, and offers two or three dining options.

Arrived early and parked in a somewhat scruffy car park and went to lunch in the pizza restaurant below. Ordered a pizza, coke and half a lager. Drinks arrived some time later and it appeared to be a pint of lager so I asked if it was a half? The waitress did not even reply but just took the coke away and did not return to resolve this issue. Good check-in. Offered fresh milk and shown to our room. Bare light bulb. Uncomfortable, poor quality mattress. Dirty uncomfortable chairs. Dirty shower curtain. Small shower. No Ch. 1-5 or freeview on TV despite 3 members of staff trying to sort the matter out. They were not prepared for breakfast when we came down at 8 (breakfast served 8-9). Drinks took 20 minutes and the cooked breakfast took an hour to arrive (the cook left the building after service had started to go to the local shop to purchase the baked beans). Overall, a high price for a very basic offering, the only good thing being the view.

Our tour company set us up here for 2 nights as we hiked the coast path. I’m older and need at least a few hours of sleep before trekking 10 miles, but was not going to get it at this place. When we arrived I questioned having public toilets for their restaurant on both sides of our room and the employee said not to worry since nobody uses these. Wrong. They was non stop door slamming and bathroom noises right by my bed til 11:00 pm. Additionally, the parking lot surrounds this room. More door slamming, etc. The bathroom was moldy, the shower curtain wasn’t long enough so the water just went on the floor, there was mold going up the corner wall beside the bed. The entire property just needs a good cleaning! I think I’m more ticked at the tour company for not previewing this place than at the employee who fibbed about nobody using the bathrooms by room 3.

Ignore older reviews. As this place is currently being run it’s awful. Room cleaning and restocking didn’t happen every day. The breakfast cook didn’t turn up every day either. The owner said that we would have to have ‘continental’ breakfast but that wasn’t well stocked. The walls are thin and we could clearly hear talking from downstairs. Wifi signal was poor and erratic. As the only tv channels were wifi based, we didn’t always have tv either. Its generally tatty, and mouldy in the tiny bathroom. Cheapest toilet roll ever. All this for £165 per night. We’re certainly never going back.

Everyone who works here goes above and beyond!!! The rooms are cozy with a perfect seaside vibe. The staff here is what makes it special. I was visiting during a period when the weather was hotter than is normal, but even with that additional pressure, with guests being crankier than usual, they stepped up and did extra for everyone. I had dinner in the restaurant as well. The food was fresh and well prepared, with a variety of options. I cannot say enough good about this place!

Moderate quality rooms but with an excellent restaurant. There are not many places to stay in Broadhaven but this is worth a look. It has recently been taken over and we believe things should improve. Rooms are dated but the front ones have great views over the sea. Staff friendly and helpful. It would be great if the new owner can improve the rooms!

The accommodation provides value for money, at this charming guest house in stunning location. The staff are fantastic and the place is spotless and the rooms with balconies offer stunning sea views. The Italian restaurant offers quality food at reasonable prices in a stunning setting!
