“The Anchor has a wonderful waterfront location in Kippford, and the food, especially the Scottish breakfast and the fish and chips, seems to be consistently excellent. I'd recommend a room with a sea view; it's worth it. The staff is also very friendly, which I think enhances the overall experience.”
