"The Anchor Inn was a traditional Drovers Inn dating back to 1888. Over recent years, it has undergone tasteful modernization and now features a nautical-themed bar and restaurant area with hearty food and good ale. We have various rooms, all en-suite, and many have views of the Gareloch Sea. Eating at the Anchor Inn, we offer our guests the option of breakfast and dinner within our bar/restaurant area; please note that this is subject to additional charges. We would ask that guests book tables for dinner ahead of their arrival to ensure availability. Entertainment at the Anchor Inn: throughout the year, we offer various entertainment, from live music to quiz nights. See our website for further information. Please note that some of our rooms are located above the pub, where live music may be heard. We are happy to accommodate quiet room requests where possible. Glasgow is 27 miles from the accommodations. Glasgow Airport is 21 mi from the property."
