The room was spotless and had everything I could need in it. The owner was very welcoming and anything I may have needed to know was explained to me there and then, for example where extra towels are kept, how to easily reach her if needed. The location was amazing, everything was on our doorstep. Bonus points for letting us leave the car in the car park so we could wander about and get lunch even after we checked out.

Firstly, as it's most important to me: this place is very clean and tidy.Anchorage Guest House is in a perfect location for visitors wanting a base to explore the area, or as a stop-off point on longer journeys. There is parking available, otherwise it is a 3 minute walk to the train station and 5-10 minute walk to the bus terminal. There are options within a 5 minute walk for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a local store opposite for sandwiches, cakes, drinks, snacks etc.You can expect a friendly and professional welcome on arrival, from a host who is happy to share her local knowledge.Although the guest house feels like it lacks the 'personality' of your host, and at the moment it isn't aimed at those wanting to spend full days indoors (who wants to do that here anyway!?), this will certainly come with time! Until then, enjoy a great location at reasonable rates and with a super host :)

Nice wee guest house in a nice central location in Balloch. Plenty of bars/restaurants etc in the area. Rooms cosy. Parking outside if your driving. Good value and owner lovely and helpful. What more could you ask for!

This guest house is beautifully located on a main road walking distance to everything. With it?s location being on a main road you may be concerned about noise- but it was not noisy at all for me. The hostess Chloe is beyond exceptional- she exceeded expectations in every area for me. If she lived near me I would want to hire her based on her standard of customer service. The rooms are basic but suited my needs. I was provided with extra blankets on request- being from Australia I found their Spring weather a tad cold. The room was exceptionally clean. I would not only recommend this guest house- I would stay here if I was in town again!

We booked the family room at the front of the b&b for 3 nights during the October school half term. Unfortunately, we only managed 2 nights because on the 2nd night as there was a Rat or mouse that had managed to get into the external wall and it was constantly scratching throughout the night which kept me awake. The following morning I didn't make any fuss in front of other guests and i discreetly mentioned the Rat to the staff & also sent a video recording to show where the Rat was scratching and told her we had decided to cut our stay short. The staff member was very apologetic but no offer of any reimbursement of the night we didnt use - Fair enough, we had decided to leave after all and we left it at that. If that was how it had all ended, i wouldn't have even written this review as despite the rat issue, the staff were friendly and they promised to get the issue fixed ASAP. However, in our rush to leave, my daughter left her apple air pods in the room. I contacted the employee who i had sent the rat video to and she confirmed that she had found them and would return them so i gave her my address details and offered to pay for postage and she promised to post them ASAP. I chased up with the employee multiple times over the next few weeks and months and still haven't received them back (as of review date January 2023). I also chased up with anchorage directly and had no reply there either. So overall i cannot recommend Anchorage guest house, as we had 2 nights for the price of 3, A terrible nights sleep due to Rats and had my daughters Apple Airpods stolen.

Good Value for money , although the room was on the small side. The bathroom was adequate, the shower cubicle was not the biggest but I managed. My bed was very squeaky. Very clean and tidy. The breakfast was the highlight, superb black pudding.

Extremely disappointed?..had such high expectations after all positive feedback in relation to accommodation.Booking all fine 30 minutes away guest house, after travelling from London. Get message from booking.com via email stating guest house had cancelled booking, bear in mind no phone call or anything else. Tried to call guest house, no luck, drove to guest house. ran bell after 8 minutes wait owner comes to door. No apology or anything just stated has been close contact due to covid so all bookings cancelled. We ask where can we stay, answer can?t help it?s the law?.. we then had to without any knowledge of the area try to find alternative accommodation. Owner was rude and didn?t care? finally found something 30 minutes away? I am really annoyed she could of called, she could of advised us where to go for help.. my two kids were really worried that they would have had to sleep in the car..Many other amazing places don?t risk being treated like this? worst ever customer service.
