It was very easy (with Google Maps' help) to access and enjoy several National historic sites. This was a great central location to find nature and history in any direction! The cottage itself was perfect, too. My only wish was traveling when it would be a bit warmer to enjoy the backyard!

Lovely clean, comfortable cottage with everything you need. Was quiet during our stay, with friendly neighbours. View of sea from bedroom and walking distance to Chesil Beach, but also close to Weymouth Beach. Perfect base to explore other areas such as Bridport, West Bay and Lyme Regis.

Great base for exploring Dorset coast

Nice, very quiet end of terrace home in a lovely location. We enjoyed the Portland / Wyke experience and the friendly locals. Recommend The Cove for a very tasty meal and pint, and Flavours of Asia for Indian takeaway. Both really excellent. The house had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Would recommend for a couple or a small family

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.

Well equipped, clean and comfortable house. Just like home from home in a great location. Our visit was sadly only for 3 nights - but we made the most of it and included a visit to the top of Portland lighthouse - where we had amazing views! We thoroughly recommend this house! Many thanks Suzanne!
