Anchor Hotel and Seabed Restaurant

Warm room, good location. Good choice for travellers back from Islay on late night ferry.

Hotel is located on the harbour front with easy, free part right outside the hotel. We were in room 3 which has beautiful views of the harbour. Room was compact and as previous reviews have mentioned the rusty towel rail and poor ventilation in the bathroom should be addressed. The bed was comfortable- had a very good nights sleep. Wi-Fi didn’t reach the room - boosters should be installed to improve this. Breakfast was lovely - smoked salmon and scrambled eggs was delicious.

We enjoy an excellent meal here at a busy time of the year for Tarbert. The menu was varied and inspiring and food did not disappoint. Our waitress was new to the job and was very helpful and efficient. She found answers to the many questions one of our group asked, always with a polite smile. Will visit again next time we are in Tarbert.

A delightful and very comfortable independent hotel right by the beautiful harbour in Tarbert. The decor is lovely - modern Scottish - and all the staff were really friendly. It was Andy's birthday and they spoiled him nicely, he was chuffed. Jewel in the crown is dinner - we ate here three times and it was consistently imaginative and delicious, punching far abovr it's weight price-wise. The whole thing was amazing value for money. Thank you Ross and team! There are some super things to do in the area - the gardens on Gigha and the mystical, marvellous Keill's chapel just two.

Stayed over before catching the Islay ferry and it’s very convenient for that. The rooms are very basic with dated furniture and quite worn and tired feeling throughout the whole hotel. With some paint and a bit of care it could be a nice destination but I reckon it’s got a captive market due to location so doesn’t need to do any upkeep. WiFi did not reach our room (no 9) and there should be repeaters around the place. Our duvet cover was freshly laundered but had stains, the bathroom radiator is badly rusty one of the plugs in room 3 wasn’t working, just to name a few shortcomings. The staff were lovely and breakfast was good.

Harbour view , brilliant weather meant brilliant view, room ideal size , clean throughout, bathroom excellent with a powerful shower, some tweaks would help lift the room accommodation, a handle inside the room on the wall to help those not so steady on their feet would give confident support, the shower head not the correct fittng for the adjustable mount. Electric connections for mobiles etc beside bed required could be USB for charging as current position is on opposite wall. Talking to the new owner on arrival I understand he has plans for improving the small improvements. Overall we give an excellent as our stay was made excellent with good customer service a clean room and good food.

Tarbert is sleepy on a Thursday night so we went to the Anchor for a meal. Best decision ever! Staff were lovely, wine list was fab, but the food - amazing!! Mussels were the best ever and the scallops not far behind. The smoked haddock risotto was delicious. If you get a chance , try here - you won't be disappointed!!

This is a nice hotel in the perfect location for Tarbert, on the harbour. The room was comfortable and the staff very friendly and helpful. Even if you do not stay in the hotel, try the restaurant as the food was excellent.

We stayed for one night what a lovely hotel. From check-in until we left the staff were exceptional. We had a room with a view of the harbour which was nice. Room had everything you need. We booked for dinner and were not disappointed. Cullen skink and mussels to start then smoked haddock and mussels for a main followed by lemon meringue pie. It was all beautiful and very reasonably priced. Breakfast was really nice with plenty of choice. We visit Tarbert regularly and will definitely return.
