About this property

Ideal quiet beach location for walking/cycling/watersports & Jurassic Coast

Only a few minutes walk to Smallmouth beach, a sandy cove opposite Portland Harbour (please ignore google maps stating it’s a 5 min drive!) and with views overlooking Portland Harbour and the start of Chesil Beach. This cosy 2 bedroomed end of terrace holiday home sits in a quiet and peaceful residential area between Weymouth and Portland in Wyke Regis, built on a site of a former Torpedo Factory.
Anchor Cottage has been decorated and comfortably furnished to a high standard with a new bathroom and kitchen installed. It comprises the following:
Ground floor entrance lobby with stairs. Fully equipped kitchen off hallway. Dining area and lounge off hallway with dining table, Smart TV, 3 seater sofa and armchair with patio doors leading to garden. The garden is laid with pebbles and plants with a variety of furniture and a raised decked area with views over to Chesil Beach and Isle of Portland. A good sized shed is available for storage of bikes. A charcoal BBQ is available.
Upstairs there's a bedroom with a king sized bed with views over Portland Harbour with beautiful sunrises and the second bedroom has a choice of either a ‘zip and link’ superking bed or 2 singles. There is a bathroom with shower over bath and shaving point. Gas central heating, electricity, WiFi and all linen inclusive.
To welcome you we provide some tea, Nespresso coffee, milk and biscuits. There is off road parking for two cars. There is a selection of guidebooks to use during your stay.

The South West Coastal Path is 200 yards away and offers stunning views across the harbour and along famous Chesil Beach which is a 10 minute walk away. Within 200 yards of Anchor Cottage there is the lovely Rodwell Trail, a 2 mile converted railway track for cycling/walking into Weymouth or visiting the iconic Sandsfoot Castle ruins, garden and cafe with scenic views. Sailing, windsurfing, sea fishing and diving are all available nearby with the Olympic Sailing Academy situated in the harbour. You can enjoy a scenic coastal walk to Portland Castle stopping off at the Wild Chesil Visitor Centre for birdwatching over the Fleet lagoon or a visit to the cafe. Shops, a pub and restaurants/takeaways are within walking distance in the village. Within easy driving distance is the Jurassic Coast (England’s only natural world heritage site), the Isle of Portland and Portland Bill, Weymouth Sealife Adventure Park, Weymouth’s award-winning sandy beach, Nothe Fort, RSPB reserves, Monkey World, the Tank Museum, and the Purbecks with its wonderful scenery and famous Lulworth Cove. Nearby is Dorchester, the county town of Dorset, with museums and character shops and Abbotsbury, with its Swannery and famous Tropical gardens.

This was a lovely place to stay. Nice homely feel. Secure and inviting. Only concern was no tumble drier for clothes, bearing in mind we visited in October, which made managing clothing a bit tricky. Otherwise, Loved the place.

Schönes kleines Haus für Minibreak
Nahe der Halbinsel und wenigen Fahrminuten nach Weymouth gelegen war das kleine Häuschen für unseren Minibreak die perfekte Wahl. Es war klein und doch hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Für ein Paar genau die richtige Größe. Die Jurasic Coast und das Hinterland locken zu Zahlreichen Ausflügen. Die voll ausgestattete Küche haben wir nur für das Frühstück genutzt, da wir eigentlich die ganze Zeit unterwegs waren. Es war sehr ruhig und erholsam.

Great Location
Tucked away just off the Rodwell Trail means that you can easily walk into Weymouth or Portland whilst enjoying some lovely views. Then you get to come back to this lovely home to relax in. It provided everything that we were looking for, clean with comfortable beds and sofa. Communication from Suzanne was very good, ensuring that we had all of the information that we needed.

Jolie maison
Superbe endroit. Maison bien équipée. Belle vue, bord de l'eau à 2min. Parking privé. Juste un petit bemol pour les Français/Belges : prévoir adaptateur pour les prises electriques. Et aussi un séchoir pour étendre le linge car nous ne l'avons pas trouvé. Pour le reste parfait🙂 Nous recommandons!

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.

Short break
Property is very nice overall and beautiful views. However there was quite a few cobwebs on walls and windows which were gathering dust and I have a severe dust allergy. I think the bedding and sofas might need spraying to kill off dust mites too as my allergies were awful during the time spent in the house and started affecting my sleep. Beds were bit soft for our liking but that’s a personal preference. Lovely property but probably wouldn’t stay here again due to personal reasons.

Wonderfull House for Holidays
We had very nice days in your house! The furnishing was very nice and there was all we needed. Also the house was good situated to the coast, nice view to portland harbour. We maked some walks to Weymouth and to Chesil Beach. And often we used the bus, the coasters with the open deck was very funny for the kids.

We found the house to be perfectly located to explore Weymouth and the surrounding area. Just a short walk from a small beach and the Rodwell Trail is on the doorstep. The house is really well equipped and good for a short stay. Thank you for having us!

Very happy to have stayed here - the positive reviews are well warranted.
Everything we could have wanted was catered for in this stay. The house was clean, modernly furnished, and fully equipped - from the kitchen to the BBQ outdoors (though we didn't use it). The location of the property was ideal - a short drive into Weymouth town centre or a short walk (~2 minutes) to a bus stop where a regular bus service that runs from the early hours of the morning till late in the evening. If you don't want to eat out every evening, there's a Lidl only 5-10 minutes away by car on Portland island. Communication with the owners was great and the check-in / check-out process was very smooth. A very professionally-arranged service. Beyond that, from a subjective perspective, the views of the sea were lovely to look at each morning. All of the positive reviews are well-warranted in my opinion. Much appreciated.

The property was in the perfect location. A few minutes walk to the beach. A short drive into Weymouth or bike or walk along the trail if you're feeling more energetic. The cottage was very comfortable with everything we needed for our stay. The shortbread biscuits went down a treat!
