The Anchor Inn - Argyll Bute

We found ourselves stranded in Garelochhead. Heading from an overnight stay in Arrochar on our way home to Renfrewshire East Ayrshire. Due to extreme flooding, fallen trees landslides, all roads were closed completely. Initially, we went into The Anchor Inn for a 'comfort ' break, but found a lovely wee corner (table chairs) where we were allowed to charge our phones. We decided to order teas/coffees, which we were pleasantly surprised to find, were free of charge for everyone. Good auld Scottish hospitality at it 's best. After we 'd been there a few hours, we ordered ourselves some food. Two of us had burgers, and two had steak pie. All of us really enjoyed our food, (approx £15 ea). Not long after we 'd finished dinner, we were informed that one road had been reopened. For us, it would be a long way round, but worth it, if it meant we could eventually get home that night. We were so grateful for the hospitality shown by The Anchor Inn, and in the future, would consider booking one of their rooms upstairs. On a nice day, it 's in the most perfect location. Right by the loch side, beside the Post Office a few shops. The staff were lovely and the place itself had a very welcoming environment. Well be back, by choice, next time

Lovely place, great service, the lassie that served us couldn't have been any nicer, meal was lovely to

What a fabulous place. The staff are amazing, so helpful and polite. The food is amazing, I highly recommend the breakfast, the eggs, fantastic. The rooms are very comfortable definitely a place to stay. And the view from my room, awesome.

My husband and I have just come back from a weekend at The Anchor Inn. From the moment we arrived, we were made very welcome by the staff and locals. We were taken to our suite at another building behind the inn. The suite had a great view, was very spacious, and clean. The king bed was VERY comfortable. The food was amazing and very reasonably priced. We had drinks in the bar with locals and tourists alike; great times. The breakfast, again, was excellent; the scrambled egg especially. All staff were very friendly and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect, and it was. We shall certainly be back to this excellent inn surrounded by beautiful scenery. Thank you for looking after us. Shell and Chris

I have visited this restaurant a few times during my family vacation, as it is just a short walk away. The staff were exceptional, providing great hospitality and being very accommodating and friendly. They even took care of our dog with a smile. It is truly a fantastic village pub.
