The Anchorage
Description
Nestled within the coast of the picturesque Dorset town of Bournemouth, The Anchorage is a ground-floor apartment ideal for a family or two couples.
Park off-road and make your way into a tastefully decorated open-plan living area, a real social hub where you will find a contemporary kitchen with ample amenities, great for cooking up a storm, and you can enjoy a heart-warming meal at the dining table, before indulging in a glass of wine as you recline on the large corner sofa, or there is the option of two balconies with furniture, reachable through French windows which allow in seas of light and the salty air.
Both of the bedrooms are stylish, so choose between a king-size bedroom and a twin that can be set up as a super-king-size on request; after which you can soak the sand from your hair in the contemporary shower room.
Bournemouth is a fantastic location, and you will find a stunning sandy beach within a short walk of the property, ideal for walks with your four-legged family member, watersports or a picnic.
Bournemouth offers a great selection of tasty eateries, convenience stores for your essentials and independent shops for you to browse at your leisure, and there are also several local theatres, the Russell Cotes Art Gallery and Museum and scenic walks along the West Cliff Zig-Zag.
A little further from the property you will find Christchurch, with its beautiful historic church, a golf course, and nature reserve at Hengistbury Head.
Travel to Poole for its yacht club, scenic parks and coastal views, or the little ones can enjoy an action packed afternoon at Lemur Landings.
Fall in love with the coast of Dorset with a stay at The Anchorage.

What guests are saying
I lovely flat in a great location - even had space for a car, which is not a trivial issue in this area close to the beaches.
.. Perhaps a little over-priced for this time in the season, but I guess that all comes down to supply and demand.
We had a wonderful stay at The Anchorage.
The accommodation was spacious and beautiful and was close to the beach. It exceeded our expectations and we'd be happy to stay there again. Thank you to the hosts.
The Anchorage, Bournemouth During a recent stay at The Anchorage in Bournemouth, I evaluated the property across key criteria including cleanliness, facilities, location, comfort, and overall guest experience.
Accommodation & Facilities The apartment is notably spacious and well suited for groups of up to six guests. It is equipped with a comprehensive range of amenities, allowing for full self‑catering and extended stays. Kitchen provisions were thorough, and the inclusion of milk, condiments, and a complimentary cake on arrival demonstrated a commendable level of guest consideration. Cleanliness & Condition General cleanliness throughout the property was satisfactory. However, the carpeting in several areas displayed visible staining, likely caused by spills from previous occupants. While not indicative of poor hygiene, these marks detract from the overall presentation and should be addressed to maintain expected standards. Location The property benefits from an excellent position approximately five minutes’ walk from the beach and around ten minutes’ drive from major local attractions. This makes it a strong choice for leisure travellers seeking convenient coastal access. Outdoor Space & Accuracy of Listing It should be noted that the property does not offer a garden or ground‑level outdoor area, which may be of particular relevance to guests travelling with pets. The presence of balconies provides some outdoor access, but the listing imagery may lead some guests to expect more substantial external space. Noise & Surroundings Noise disturbance was a significant issue during the stay. The apartment above generated persistent sound, including what appeared to be frequent movement of furniture. Additionally, the building directly opposite, a noticeably run‑down budget hotel/hostel that hosted large groups of party‑goers during the assessment period. This resulted in considerable external noise, limiting the ability to ventilate the apartment via open windows. Overall Assessment The Anchorage offers generous space, strong amenities, and an excellent coastal location. However, improvements in sound insulation, carpet maintenance, and clarity in marketing materials would enhance the guest experience. External noise factors, while outside the property’s direct control, should be acknowledged to ensure accurate guest expectations. Overall, I did enjoy my staff and I would recommend this accommodation to other families or groups of friends.
