About this property

Settled within a desirable residential area of Weymouth, a stone's throw away from the glistening waters of the bay, rests this spectacular three-storey holiday cottage, Anchors Away. Boasting a spacious and contemporary interior whilst enjoying close proximity to a wealth of must-visit sights and attractions, there’s no better place to enjoy a break to Dorset than with a stay at Anchors Away. Be charmed by the bright and airy décor as you step inside your new home-from-home, dusting off your sandy toes in the handy hallway space before making your way through to the sitting room to unwind following a day of adventure with a moment of peace in front of the television. Moving through the property, the contemporary kitchen/diner is well-designed with gleaming white fixtures and is equipped with a fabulous range of amenities to help prepare delicious dishes to be enjoyed with your loved ones at the nearby dining table. The enclosed patio settled at the rear of the property provides a handy space to store bikes and beach gear for the outdoor adventurers of the group. Climbing the stairs to the first floor you'll discover two well-presented twin bedrooms, ideal for sleepovers for the little ones, both serviced by a stylish family bathroom, where guests can choose to indulge in a blissful soak or a quick morning rinse. The master bedroom can be found on the second floor, fit with a sumptuous king size bed and benefiting from access to it's own en-suite, so there's no time wasted queuing for the bathroom in the morning! A short walk from your doorstep will bring you to the glorious sands of Weymouth Beach, providing an idyllic spot to soak in the sunshine with a good book in hand, feel the sand between your toes with a stroll along the coast to Bowleaze Cove, or try your hand at something new aboard a jet ski. For those that would prefer to stay on land, there's the marine life waiting to be discovered at SEA LIFE Centre Weymouth, the quirky sand sculptures at Sandworld, and the thrilling amusement park of Alexandra Gardens. Budding historians will delight with a tour through the Victorian labyrinth tunnels at Nothe Fort and the Iron Age hillfort of Maiden Castle, set further inland. The spectacular cliffs of West Bay are within easy reach, famed as the backdrop behind television who-dunnit drama, Broadchurch, whilst the picture-perfect harbour provides the perfect setting to watch the world go by. Whilst you're in the area, be sure to lace up your walking boots and embark on a two-footed adventure along the South West Coast Path, framing unspoilt coastal views like no other en-route. Anchors Away is an excellent base from which to explore the delights of Dorset.

A popular seaside retreat all year round, the town Weymouth rests on the coastline of Dorset. Playing host to an abundance of amenities and attractions, you wont be short on things to do and see in Weymouth, with shops and eateries to cater to your staycation requirements, as well as glorious golden sands, a SEA life centre and the remains of a castle. The Isle of Portland and West Bay are both within easy reach, and the South West Coast Path provides a scenic walking trail for those eager to explore.

The popular resort of Weymouth makes an outstanding year-round holiday destination, with a wide variety of attractions on offer, appealing to all tastes and ages. The glorious golden sandy beaches have excellent facilities for all kinds of watersports, whilst from the picturesque, bustling harbour you can take regular fishing trips. A short drive takes you to Portland Harbour, and the rugged “Isle” of Portland, linked to Weymouth by the dramatic Chesil Beach. Visit Dorchester, Thomas Hardy’s “Casterbridge”, only 7 miles away, or take a journey along the scenic coastal road and call in at Abbotsbury Swannery and Subtropical Gardens. Alternatively, just head down to West Bay - the views of the stunning Dorset Heritage Coastline are not to be missed!

    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

  • John

    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.

  • Cheryl

    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!
