My experience at anchor house was overall good! The staff was lovely, food and accommodation were good and as described. The only issue I had with my stay would be that schedules get switched around at the last minute and was often asked to stay around at anchor to check in guests even if I had already done my hours for the day. However, if you communicate with Geraldine she's really amazing at working around your desired schedule or giving you the hours off a different day if you worked extra, so be firm on your boundaries and communicate! Newport is a cute down, decently connected by bus.

The room was cozy and had the minimals needed. Only room issue was the slamming doors from kitchen and b&b heard constantly.
The work is hard on the body and you have to move at a quick pace but you get use to it. Only feedback is management, could be more organized with scheduling and verifying everything is in stock for restaurant and rooms at the time it’s needed. And do not ask/assume packers want to work overtime as most of us are doing this to travel and see Ireland.
The town is absolutely adorable and beautiful! Take advantage of visitor center and bus schedule. Hiking, walking, etc

The town was very pretty and the room was nice however there was very little training and you were expecting know what to do. Communication on when you were working often lacked sometime you knew a week before other time it was either a few hours before or almost no notice.

Anchor House is a beautiful, all the staff are really kind. The town is small but it is very well connected and you can visit other villages. I recommend it if you want to connect with the country culture and nature, the Greenway to Achill is beautiful. The staff and the locals are very nice and welcoming.
