Great place to relax”

We came to just relax after a year like 2020 and we did just that. Its so peaceful here and the garden is beautiful. It was really a treat just to relax for a few days. For us it is more than enough. The staff is really friendly and welcoming and it really felt like a home away from home. Would highly recommend Anchor's Rest Guesthouse to anyone.
