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. A must visit is the Tudor House opposite Anchor, one of a few remaining original Tudor buildings dating from 17th Century. Just a minute away is Hope Square, a pretty area bordered with restaurants, bistros and a pub, a great place to relax and watch the world go by. This holiday cottage is located just seconds away from the old harbour in Weymouth where you can view yachts and working fishing boats busy in the harbour. Walking along the harbour and cross the town bridge which rises throughout the day to let boats in and out of the harbour. Adjacent to the town and a lovely five-minute walk from Anchor is the main Weymouth beach, stretching over three miles – it is the perfect location for a shoreline walk, sand castle building or just sitting and enjoying the gentle lapping of the shallow waters. Anchor is the perfect location for a harbourside holiday in Weymouth. Everything you need to have a seaside holiday is stay just a few minutes away.

This thriving area called Brewers Quay is the old Victorian brewery situated right at the very heart of the harbour, in Weymouth, Dorset.

Now a popular destination with many restaurant’s café and bars making it a vibrant location where you can relax with a drink and watch the world go by. Tucked in the harbourside streets here you will find original Tudor harbour buildings estimated to have built 1600 and well worth a visit, with a very interesting history to share. You will also find the Weymouth Museum, with some incredible facts and artefacts, there is more to this seaside town than meets the eye.

    However when we arrived the fridge/freezer was not switched on and we had to search around to find the socket. The attitude of Sykes staff to a request to rectify an error re the making up of the beds is the subject of a complaint I have emailed to Customer Support. This was a bad experience for us.

    Shower in top bathroom was dangerous as it was boiling then cold so you had to keep jumping in and out to make sure you didn’t get burned.

    Loved the living area, sofas very comfy, and kitchen great and very well equipped. We didn't use the patio much to sit out but it was great area for storing bikes and for hanging up towels and swimmers. Just a few issues (below) but we would definitely come back. TV was a little weird - we couldn't find a way to get BBC channels on it! However, we didn't watch much TV anyway so weren't that bothered. Had some problems with the 2nd floor shower on Sunday morning: combination of very shallow shower basin and slow draining meant that the whole bathroom floor flooded after one shower. Someone from Dream Cottages came round on Monday to put drain blocker down and provided new towels, but we didn't want to risk it again so all used the 1st floor shower after that. Mattress in the 1st floor bedroom wasn't very comfy - quite a big dip in the middle. Would have been nice to have a chest of drawers in the 2nd floor bedroom (as there was in the 1st floor one): not much space to store clothes. There were no instructions about where to put recycling (only rubbish) so hope it was OK to leave in the kitchen bins provided.
