Anchors Away

We had a wonderful time would definitely recommend this cottage want to come back soon

Lovely house, perfect for our family and dog.

Nice quiet area in easy walking distance to the town and beach. Very impressed with the service when we discovered we had no hot water. Arrived within an hour on a Saturday evening and got it sorted in 40 minutes.

As the rating above suggests, this cottage ticked every box.

Well equiped and an exceptionally comfortable king size bed. We never tried the single beds but I'm sure they were great. The property is in a quiet location and ideally placed for access to the town, beach and other walks. We did not move the car all week. The beach is dog friendly during the winter, which was great for us and our dog. Cafes were open at the very east end of the parade, as well as on Chessel Beach, and in the town. All appear to be dog friendly. The Black Dog pub in the main street was very welcoming and offered great food. Dream Cottages deserve a special mention, as they called a couple of times to ensure all was well. Finally I would say we were so impressed we have already booked for next year, and will be taking our 5 yr old grandson, who walks slightly less than our dog, hopefully!

We were very happy with our stay at Anchors Away.

We will certainly been returning. The only real nuisance is the use of one key and to keep on having to use the fiddly Key lock box. Not easy if the use of your hands isn't good.

Lovely stay at anchors away.

Nice a quiet location, very close to local shops and beach. Property was nice and clean on arrival. We had a great time. We would definetely stay again

Really lovely holiday home.

Great location. Well equipped and comfortable. 4th time we have stayed here. House is very well kept.

Great location but the property needs some TLC.

It’s wasn’t the cleanest place we have ever stayed in either and we were delayed leaving due to a faulty lock box, However it’s in a fantastic location that is walkable to town and the house itself has fantastic potential.

We had a fabulous stay.

Just an observation it would be good to have a fixed shower over the bath with a screen the upstairs shower is a bit of a squeeze. Everything else is lovely

Lovely property in a great location.

There was no need to get into the car each day as you can easily walk to the centre, beach and harbour. Everything you could think of was already there & available for use. Comfy beds and nice patio area to enjoy the sun at the beginning and end of the day. Could ideally do with a mirror in main bedroom which is near a socket for drying hair. A padlock key or the code for back gate would also be useful to put bikes into the garden easily.

Julia excellent stay beautiful house

Hello lovely place to stay only one issue there was only one key this made it very difficult when going out on your own could possibly do with two keys thank you

The property was lovely.

It was clean but a strong smell of animal in the living room on the sofa, carpet and rug - 2 members of the party are allergic to animals so smell it more we just opened the windows daily to let the air in. It did not affect our holiday. Convenient location and good it has 2 parking spaces as parking is limited in the road.

Amazing location and a great house with everything you need to make your stay comfortable.

The property is very well equipped and the beds are super comfortable which is great after all of the long walks and delicious dinners! Location is fabulous, a 10 minute stroll and you’re on the beach front where you can chill or catch a bus to Portland to explore. Plenty of lovely places to eat. Nothe Fort is just over the harbour and it’s like you’re in a different place….. lovely and quiet and the friendliest squirrels

Lovely home from home, great extras like fans,loo roll, washing machine,good sharp knives and full kitchen utensils, table and chairs in garden and soap in bathroom all provided.

Great location. Unfortunately the stink of dog/ animals was so strong, 2 of my party have animal allergies, I know it's advertised as pat friendly but the smell was quite strong as to was the urine smell in downstairs loo. The house was very dusty too, especially when we paid so much for the week Having said that, we all had a good stay and the company did respond very quickly without making us feel terrible when we had an accident in the property.

A lovely holiday home.

Conveniently situated. Lots to do in and around Weymouth. Would highly recommend. Stayed there three times.

We had a lovely stay at Anchors Away.

The house is very nicely decorated and well equipped with everything that you would need for a family holiday. Very well placed too, just a short walk to the Main Street and beach

This holiday accommodation is well equiped and comfortable and is ideally situated for access to the beach and town.

It is also in a quiet residential setting. The listing does not mention the tv in the master bedroom but it did not work anyway as the airial connection is poor.The fridge door shelves are broken and the carbon monoxide alarm was faulty.All items were reported to the agent and the alarm was replaced within hours. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and we would recommend the property.

It would have been nice to have 2 front door keys and also, although this may be difficult, the freezer needed defrosting.

It was difficult to open the draws but I do appreciate that is a difficult job when you have continual bookings. Apart from just a couple of small gripes we really had a lovely holiday in your beautiful house. Home from home and a lovely little garden to enjoy in the evening and also hang the washing. Being able to park 2 cars was an added bonus. Loved all your wall hangings. V nicely furnished.

The property is lovely home from home it was just the fridge was filthy and had to be stripped out and washed and there was stains on the cupboards which was a bit off putting but once we’d sorted that out we soon settled in.

Saying that we would definitely go back and recommend to friends and family. The quality of the furniture and fitting provision of utensils was brilliant. We didn’t leave a comment as our grandson said it all in his comment sorry he took the whole page!

Great holiday house!

From the moment we arrived at Anchors Away, we were delighted with the accommodation.

Set in a quiet location, with its own private parking, a short 10 minute walk from town, the house is perfect for visitors to use as a base. The house is three stories with the main bedroom and ensuite on the top floor. Two twin bedrooms and main bathroom are on the middle floor, and the lounge, kitchen, dining room and downstairs loo are located on the ground floor. There is even a courtyard garden laid out with a garden table and chairs. We really enjoyed staying in this very clean and beautifully presented house. If we return to Weymouth we will certainly try to get this house, and would recommend it to others.

Anchors away was a perfect holiday home to stay in, easy reach for the town and beach.

Perfect for a dog to stay, really really enjoyed staying there.

We had a fabulous holiday in this beautiful well kept house,it housed everything you needed.

It was situated near shops beach only a short walk. Would certainly recommend this house and sykescottages.

Loved our stay , and will book again.

Clean, modern with good facilities

Comfortable beds Needs bathrooms updating newer showers If your tall you’ll bang your head in the roof in the en-suite Both doors into en-suite and down stairs toilet a pain Could do with redecorating Thank you

Very convenient central and quiet location.

Well appointed clean and comfortable accommodation. The kitchen was well equipped. If using the second floor bedroom, please be aware that the plumbing of the tap in the washbasin is incorrect, lovely hot water being available when the tap is set at 'C' and cold water when the tap is set to 'H'. More hooks and/or rings to accommodate towels in that bathroom would be of benefit.

Great location for all local amenities.

Well equipped house but unfortunately the property was extremely dirty and dusty on our arrival. Dirty towels and dog faeces had also been left at the property. We contacted Dream Cottages over the weekend but received a reply from Sykes Cottages asking if we would like a cleaner sent in. Not sure who the owner is. Sykes also said as we had been given the keys early the supervisor had not had a chance to check the cleanliness but no supervisor arrived to check in the time frame up to our hand over time. Given we were on holiday with a party member with a dust mite allergy we had to undertake the cleaning immediately to ensure their safety. We therefore declined the cleaner a couple of days later. This level of cleanliness did not instill any confidence with regards to thorough covid cleaning. Would not stay here again. Spoilt our arrival having to do a couple of hours cleaning. Disappointing but the area was lovely.

Excellent property.

Very clean, tidy, well presented and well equipped. All very comfortable. Great position to access town & beach only shirt walk. Good parking, could benefit from number re painting as a little hard to see.

Only a couple of things but they weren't an issue just feedback.

Radiator in en-suite bathroom wouldn't come on. Light on front of the property did not work. The property was lovely and comfortable, a great size for us and a lovely garden out back for our dog. Kitchen so we'll equipped and great to be able to sit round the table together. We took games but didn't need too as there was a whole chest full. We also found a box of DVD's which was great. The location is brilliant everything you need in walking distance. Really smashing break and a great property, wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

Lovely holiday home

Excellent accommodation

The house was in a prime location .

The house was spotless, beds comfy Well equiped kitchen We had a fantastic time with family at your propety and will book it again

A lovely example of a holiday let.

Comfy beds and plenty of kitchenware. The information pack provided by the owners was extensive and very helpful and no long list of do''s and don'ts that we often see ( which can be quite intimidating). The house was a short walk to the town and beach so, no parking charges. We really enjoyed our stay.

All comforts of home and more.

Position to beach and entertainment excellent. Description of property really good. Just one thing missing is the fact it was on an estate. But our holiday was a great success and we would choose that house again. There was always a car parked outside the property so the only space available was the numbered one at the side. Found 2 chipped glasses at back of cupboard and we replaced a colander as handle broke off as we touched it! Thank you for letting us use your home.

We chose this house as the position is excellent for the seafront and town.

The kitchen is very well equipped and the beds really comfortable. Just two things that bothered us. The main bedroom has fancy white slated blinds which do not cut out light so from sunrise (which was 4am when we were there) you are in complete daylight - take an eye mask if you're planning to sleep in there! There is no where to put your towels apart from one hand towel in each bathroom except to hang them over the bannisters to dry. Otherwise a really lovely property.

A really lovely comfortable holiday home.

Couldn’t fault a thing and a great location. We all thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in Weymouth and would go again

A lovely house, well equipped, position perfect for reaching the beach & town, a credit to the owners.

Lovely stay, great location with an easy walk to the beach.

Everything we needed. Thought of everything within the kitchen and games, books and DVDs for the kids. Very comfortable stay. Master bedroom bed was so comfortable. It was like a home from home. Not mentioned in the details but a little playground seconds away was perfect for my youngest. Would book again

All good, just one thing door locks front and back need to maybe be have some wd40 oil sprayed on them as we found them stiff to lock and unlock.

And possibly a shower screen for the first floor bathroom. Also, there was no mention of there being a downstairs toilet, but there was one this nearly put us of going to house as my wife has a broken foot. Thanks.
