Whilst staying on the Island on a very snowy weekend in December, we ventured into this pub after a long walk with our dog and what a find! Firstly they were happy for us to bring our dog in. We were all cold and the roaring fire was most welcoming. It was a bit like going into your own living... more

We were staying self catering for 12 nights on Lindisfarne. From the first time we walked into the Crown and Anchor it was as if it had always been our local. All the staff are very friendly, the atmosphere is relaxing, the beer is very well kept and the food is delicious. more

The refurbished rooms are of an excellent quality, large comfortable bed and improved TV (now with more than three chanels!). The service has, if anything, improved.... more

A bit pricey but you have to expect this on the island. I had a large room, which was clean, and with a good view of the abbey. The food was excellent. I didn't have an ensuite room, but had a private bathroom close by. more
