Staying on the island, so called here a couple of afternoons for a pint and a warm up. Didn't eat, or stay overnight. But great pint, love the decor, and friendly staff.

Overall, a lovely lunch with beers at The Crown and Anchor. Good portion sizes of well cooked food for the children, well kept ale, excellent service, and all in a beautifully kept and well maintained building. No complaints whatsoever, very happy with our visit.Nearby activities: Situated on Lindisfarne, it is possible to visit the Castle (National Trust), Abbey (English Heritage), Old Lime Kilns, beautiful walks, lots of wildlife, interesting beaches, fantastic views. It's a beautiful area with so much going for it. Top spot!

We only ate here but the food was fantastic, the restaurant and toilets all appeared very clean and service was good. We had lunch but the evening menu looked fantastic.

Christian visitors to Holy Island for the day (30.08.23), I was with my sister and her three young girls, whom I was visiting in Newcastle. It was the most beautiful day and we thought we would have a quick bite before driving back, enjoying the view. After a rude and hugely unwelcoming experience at the much grander Manor Hotel pub (who refused to serve us, and said there were no tables free when we could see one with no 'reserved' sign) we went across the road to the Crown and Anchor who, though they had run out of mains (I think because of bookings) couldn't have been nicer and more hospitable. They bent over backwards for us. It is not at all smart - more like the old fashioned sawdust floor cum public rooms in inns of yore - but I would take a great atmosphere over a gentrified interior, any day.They provided the girls with nuggets and chips, I had a great pint of a local ale (I think it was Farne Island; delicious) and we had a lovely time in the beer garden. The locals both inside and out were very welcoming and chatty to us; we responded in kind!Noteworthy details: Wonderful views outside across towards the island and sea of Lindisfarne towards Lindisfarne Castle, and in the other direction towards Lindisfarne Abbey.Also, dog friendly.

We had a fantastic lunch here - the scampi ciabatta was delicious and is making my mouth water thinking about it. Prices were reasonable, the place was great and the staff were absolutely lovely. The highlight of our trip to
