The Oak & Anchor Hotel wins hearts for its beautifully restored heritage charm paired with modern comfort, quiet rooms and super comfy beds. Guests love the central location, friendly and attentive staff, and great value. Rooms are spacious and thoughtfully appointed, with one reviewer calling out an excellent accessible room with wheelchair-friendly layout, grab bars and an open shower. The vibe is warm and stylish across the indoor lounge and the firelit courtyard, and it suits everything from relaxed solo meals to big group dinners.
Sidro restaurant is a standout, consistently praised for delicious food and drinks.
