Quiet location, short walk to beach, with views of Portland and Jurassic coast

Anchor Cottage is a delightful 2 bedroom end of terrace holiday home, just a few minutes walk from sandy Smallmouth cove, offering stunning views over Portland Harbour and Chesil Beach.

The cottage has been decorated and comfortably furnished to a high standard with a new bathroom and kitchen installed. On the ground floor, just off the entrance lobby there is a fully equipped kitchen and a lounge with dining area. The lounge has a dining table, Smart TV, a 3 seater sofa and armchair, with patio doors leading to a secluded pebbled garden with furniture and a raised decked area with views over Chesil Beach and Isle of Portland. A good sized shed is available for storage of bikes and a charcoal BBQ is available.

A perfect accomodation in a wonderful area

We spent a week at Anchor Cottage and enjoyed it very much. The house is well-equipped and very comfortable. It‘s easy to feel at home quickly. It‘s a very good location to visit Weymouth, Chesil Beach and Portland. We also went to Durdle Door and visited Abbotsbury Swannery and Tropical Gardens.

The best stay I've ever had in Great Britain

A very clean house in a beautiful area.. We had everything we needed in the house and had a very warm welcome. Comfortable beds and nice furniture. Nice garden and it was so quiet to stay there. A stunning view from the house to the bay and Portland. We can absolutely recommend Anchor Cottage.
