Description
Anchor Cottage is a traditional Portland Stone cottage built in the 1800s, resting on the beautiful Isle of Portland in Weston.
Ideal for a family of five, the home boasts everything you need for a self-catering stay, with handy off-road parking and an enclosed garden with a barbecue.
Step inside this characterful cottage to find a living/dining room perfect for cosying up after a day of exploring; the gas fire can warm the space after a walk along the cliff edges, whilst the dining table for five creates a space to plan the next day's adventure over dinner.
From here, the kitchen is well equipped for your stay, with ample appliances, including a dishwasher to help with the cleaning up and a washer/dryer to keep your wardrobe fresh.
Outside, meals can be enjoyed alfresco in the garden, with a barbecue for the warmer months and a lawn for the children.
Back inside, the bathroom gives the option of a bath or shower to freshen up before heading back out for an evening tipple, meal, or simply a stroll.
Upstairs, choose from three traditional-styled bedrooms, including a double, a twin for any siblings sharing, and a single, for anyone seeking a little more privacy.
When you're ready to explore, you can find a handful of attractions on the Isle of Portland, including Rufus Castle and Pulpit Rock, where some of the most stunning vistas on the isle can be savoured.
Over on the mainland in Weymouth, you can explore the lively Weymouth Harbour and indulge at one of the many pubs and eateries within the town.
Children in the group may enjoy a day at SEA LIFE Centre, or you can get up close to the sea itself at Newton's Cove or the popular 18-mile-long Chesil Beach.
Inland, you can find more hustle and bustle in the county town of Dorchester or explore the beauty of the Dorset National Landscape on foot or by bicycle.

What guests are saying
Lovely cottage that had everything in it that we needed for our stay.
Would recommend and stay again if visiting the area.
What a lovely cottage in a very useful location.
From entering on our first day we were very happy with the cleanliness of the cottage and the only negative I found was the missing garden fence, as I had my small dog with me, I have since learnt that the neighbouring property is vacant but due to be bought by the owners of Anchor Cottage and the fence is in the adjacent property, so it will be fixed shortly. Minor issues with a couple of things were very quickly sorted and we met the property owners, who are very proud of their former home. If you are staying with your dog, be aware there are a few cats in the vicinity, including one that seems to spend all day sleeping in the adjacent properties driveway. There are lots of areas and footpaths to walk locally and lots of dog owners in the area. The heating is spot on in the property and the front porch is a real sun trap that my mother thoroughly enjoyed sitting in. The driveway is very narrow and will take two cars but beware the stone walls if you value the edges of your doors. Also be aware that some neighbours park badly and limit that access to the driveway, making it very hard to get out. Again, many thanks to the owners for their quick attendance as they are very pleasant to deal with. I would definitely visit again.
Was a lovely weeks in a peaceful area .
Property was well equipped & welcome pack was a lovely touch after a long journey. Couple of things the tap in bathroom was stiff & fencing needs to be fixed in garden to make more secure & comfortable for dog to be let out without us worrying about neighbours . Definitely worth a visit as the scenery around & costal walks were stunning . Plenty to do & places to visit . Shops in easy reach & fish & chips just over the road . Perfect , comfortable stay .
