“Anchor Cottage is in a great location, very comfortable holiday cottage to stay in for our family of four.”

Would definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a property close to the harbour with its restaurants and pubs and within easy walking distance of the beach.

Mrs Brindley July 2021

“Stunning Cottage & top location for the Harbour & near by pubs.”

Kitchen has mod cons ,lovely large house. The bathrooms & bedrooms were Wonderful.Massive TV in the lounge with 2 very comfortable sofas. Highly recommended !We got to park outside the property so that was a huge bonous for unpacking and packing. It was clean & we felt Covid Safe inside. Amazing weather too.Wonderful Weymouth & Dream-cottages never let us down. Thank you Kind regards as always Mr & Mrs Brindley- Yes please post our review of Anchor cottage the owners deserve it. ------------- Now we require feed back from yourselves Wanted to book Anchor cottage for same week next July its price for 2022 has gone up £300? we paid around £800 well worth it next year £1,170 how is the increase justified? We have Nuke Cottage booked in September with Dream-Cottages not yourselves but same up £300. Paying over £550 this year next year £800. £100 increase may be exceptable! but not £300. We have been holidaying with Dream cottage/ now part of yourselves for over 25 years, 2 holidays every July & Sept. These are uk staycation holidays not abroad !over £300 increase seems very harsh what about fair reductions for long standing customers such as ourselves.? Kind regards Mr & Mrs Brindley.

Anchor cottage was just perfect, in a lovely location & would highly recommend the courtyard was a little tired but when you have the harbour just round the corner it was no problem

“Lovely accommodation, excellent location”

Miss Wilcox June 2021

“Gorgeous cottage really well furnished and very comfortable.”

The parking permit actually allows you to park outside for as long as you want (if you can get a space) the other longer term car park is out the end of the street, turn sharp right then left at the top and the car park is on the right (about 5 mins walk) there is an area reserved for “L” car park permit cars and we always found a space, Recommend booking restaurants for first few nights (note Mon and Tuesday many restaurants close - lack of staff?) Londis store in the street itself is really handy and v friendly people and the art shop (Cove) is enticingly good and we spent a LOT there. Overall a wonderful holiday and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend both Weymouth and this lovely holiday home

“We would definitely stay here again and would also recommend it to anyone.”

Just a few minor things I would like to list that would improve the stay. We couldn’t find where we were supposed to recycle plastic, glass etc, so some information on this would be good. There were a couple of areas that the cleaners missed, the blinds in the living room, behind the T.V. and the lampshade in the dining area need a good dusting. This didn’t detract from our stay though and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the facilities, especially in the kitchen which were first rate.

Mrs Bloxsome May 2021

“An excellent little cottage in a quiet charming narrow street with a little shop just at the end and the harbour within a moments walk with all the life and restaurants.”

Parking could be a problem. The tiny outdoor area could be improved.

- Mrs Bloxsome, May 2021
Mr Millinchip April 2021

“Although we booked at short notice we could not have wished for a better place to spend a much-needed week’s holiday by the seaside!”

The house was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Although the weather was beautiful it was cold and the central heating proved very effective. The location was perfect - a few yards from the bustling harbour yet quiet and peaceful. The residents’ parking permit meant that we always found a parking space and the very well-equipped Londis convenience store was just opposite, with a Tesco Metro nearby if we needed more choice. When a minor repair was needed in the bathroom it was dealt with quickly and efficiently. In summary, if you book this house for your precious time away we believe you won’t be disappointed.

“Cottage was furnished to a high standard and everything that was required was available.”

The inside is significantly better than the exterior outlook. Great location for the town and everything within a few minutes walk Parking was not a problem for this time of year Outdoor area could do with a bit of a lift to make it more appealing to use especially out of season

Mr Bell September 2019

“As usual parking is a challenge especially when the builders next door take up several spaces but it only became an issue when unloading/packing the car and did not spoil my stay.”

Excellent house and spotlessly clean.

Mr Gudger July 2019

“Building work next door 7.”

Miss Caiger June 2019

“Great place to rest after a hectic days at the Jurassic coastline; local to amenities /shops/beach etc very comfortable cannot wait to stay in one of your rentals again.”

Anchor cottage was very clean it has everything you need for a lovely relaxing week in Weymouth, We spent more time than usual indoors due to the weather but because it was very comfortable our holiday was not spoilt.

Mrs Donohue April 2019

“Booked this as a last minute deal and when we arrived we were delighted with what we found.”

The house was fabulous and convenient for everything. It is furnished to a high standard and had everything you would need. Beds comfy and the bathrooms were lovely. The house was perfect for our family of 4. Had amazing weather so walked to the beach everyday and stayed for the duration so no hassle with finding a parking space or paying for meters!. There is a little supermarket up the road and some fab restaurants all within a short walk but if you wanted to stay home and cook the property has a lovely kitchen. We parked the car up on the first day and didn't use it again until we were going home 4 days later! Would definately recommend this house.

- Mrs Donohue, April 2019
Mr Newman April 2019

“Such a great location and set up.”

The cottage is modern, comfortable with everything needed. With all the bars and restaurants on the doorstep but still very quiet and comfortable when you just want to relax.

The property

Anchor Cottage has been lovingly restored and updated and the interior now has a contemporary feel, with the modern open plan sitting/ dining room leading to the kitchen; it is a perfect social area.

A high standard has been achieved throughout the cottage with stylish bathroom / shower rooms added, along with a sleek kitchen and pops of colour used against a neutral background.

Located on a paved street and nestled among old fisherman's cottages, close to the harbour edge Anchor makes a perfect home for families, or two couples wanting to holiday together.

Do visit the Tudor House opposite Anchor, it is one of the few remaining original Tudor buildings dating from 17th Century and well worth a visit.

Just a minute away is Hope Square, a pretty and lively area bordered with restaurants, bistros and a pub, where locals and guests alike visit to enjoy an alfresco lunch or cooling drink.

This holiday cottage is located just seconds away from the old harbour in Weymouth where you can view yachts and working fishing boats coming and going throughout the day.

Walking along the harbour you reach the town bridge which rises throughout the day to let taller boats in and out of the harbour.

Adjacent to the town and just around a five-minute walk from Anchor is the main Weymouth beach, which stretches over three miles - the perfect location for a shoreline walk, sand castle building or just sitting and enjoying the gentle lapping of the sea whilst sampling a local ice-cream.

Anchor is the perfect location for a holiday in Weymouth, with everything you should need to have a pleasurable stay just minutes away.

For those seeking adventures further afield, Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove are just a short scenic 25 minute drive away.

About the location

BREWERS QUAY HARBOUR

Dorchester 8.7 miles; West Lulworth 15.8 miles

Brewers Quay is the old Victorian brewery situated at the heart of the harbour, in Weymouth, Dorset. Much of the grade II listed complex and surrounding brewery buildings date from the late 1800 early 1900’s and many have stones inlaid commemorating their construction year. This area is now a popular destination with many restaurants, café and bars, creating a vibrant culture, where you can relax with a drink and watch the world go by. Tucked away down the harbourside streets, you will find original Tudor harbour buildings, estimated to have been built in 1600 and well worth a visit, with a very interesting history to share. You will also find the Weymouth Museum, with some incredible exhibitions, and the harbour is also home to the lifting bridge, where you can watch the luxury yachts head out to sea, and then walk over the bridge to the town's winding streets of boutique shops and the seafront esplanade and beach. There is more to this seaside town than meets the eye; Brewers Quay is a much-loved holiday destination in Weymouth!
