Anniversary weekend away

My husband and I visited for an anniversary celebration. The accommodation was perfect for us and a great location on the harbour. The owner was very helpful with regards to parking and letting us know the room was ready for an early check in. We will definitely be returning in the future.

Great Property in a good location for Poole Quay

A great location and an lovely property. Extremely clean and well kept. Jenny the host couldn't have been more helpful. We enjoyed staying at the Anchorage very much. An all round excellent choice.

10/10 Exceptional

Nice property, very clean and great location. Pay attention to the welcome package, you’ll really struggle to get large cases up the small staircase, I struggled with a back pack and a pannier from my bike. But don’t let that put you off. Also have to prearrange motorbike drop off so follow the instructions. There was something in the package about paid parking nearby. Really nice place, comfortable room and bed. Nice bathroom. Just off the main quay side. With a pub next door also!

1 night stay in Poole

Central location. Room was lovely. Modern fixtures and fittings. Comfortable bed. TV reception wasn't great but probably not the hosts fault.

Lovely room, convenient location.

We had a lovely stay, and Jenny was very helpful and engaged when we got there, ensuring we knew about local parking options, etc. The room was lovely and comfortable, and very convenient to the Quay, shops and restaurants. We were going to Brownsea Island, and it was only a 5 minute walk to the ferry (and back).

A lovely room. Nice and light, very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Quiet too and ideal for getting to the harbour for an early ferry.

6/10 Good

Property was very clean and convenient for all amenities. Towels were of poor quality and did not dry you and there was no shower gel or a bar of soap.

Great location, felt very welcome!

Great communications considering it was an on the day booking. Jenny went above and beyond to ensure we was accommodated as a family. We travelled with a portable cot, kettle in room and small fridge. Spacey, clean, tidy and cool. The street could be nosy if you have the front windows open but once closed it's quiet. Would stay again and already recommend a family member to stay! Also great location!

This property was in an excellent location check In was good and we had no problems with that at all it was all very plain sailing car parking was a bit expensive as we stayed for 2 nights and it cost £26.00 we had booked a double room which was ok but a bit small and not a lot of privacy if the blinds are up no soap dish in shower and no full length mirror also telly had a bad signal all In all a good stay but would definatly opt for a bigger room next time

Clean and comfort room but noisy at night

The room is clean, comfort and well decorated. I was impressed by the introduction the owner made for tourist to understand the town Poole and nearby restaurants & places; however, it is very noisy at night until midnight at weekend because the property is next to a pub.

Perfect for Poole Quay

Perfect location right near the quay but still quiet at night, even with the pub next door- couldn't hear a thing even though they had live music. Great bathroom lighting for doing your makeup - something many places don't have. (It's often like doing your makeup in a coal mine!) plug sockets at both sides of the bed `(three pin and USB!) Bed very comfortable and a fan for if you're too hot. Decent sized mini fridge as well. Host Jenny was very helpful, and there is a dossier in the room with dozens of places to eat and visit. Highly recommend!
