I enjoyed watching the sunset in the living/bed room with stunning lake view. Good space to accommodate my family. Lovely pool and spa. The bathroom can be upgraded but it’s kept in a good condition. The beds are comfy.

We had a last minute booking and arrived late in the evening The owners are welcoming. They also turned the heater on in the room. So after coming back from the hospital it was a quiet and warm space we needed. It was comfortable though we did not get to use any facilities as we had to rush to another hospital but the kindness shown was truly heart warming in stressful times. So thank you again. And looking forward to enjoying our stay next time.

We had a lovely stay at the Anchorage Resort. We had the room above the reception area and the views were amazing! The hot tub was also wonderful in the evening.
