The Anchorage

Fantastic location and sea views.

The property needs a few minor improvements but did not affect the stay. The kitchen had everything we needed. There was plenty of indoor space and seating in living room, sun room, dining room, and kitchen. It would have been even better if there was more outdoor access and seating overlooking the sea but we understand about the retaining wall and safety concerns. We didn't use the front garden but this was also a nice space. The bedrooms were all spacious and comfortable

What a wonderful old house full of character in very quiet surroundings, the views from every room are amazing especially from the back of the property.

I am 68 years of age and have travelled the world and at the Anchorage we witnessed the most beautiful sunset we have ever seen complete with a red crescent moon all from the comfort of a settee in the living room, considering the size of the property I was surprised at how clean and dust free it was so housekeeping deserved plaudits for their sterling work and finally the owners Hugh and Tracey are very prompt at replying to any queries you may have. We look forward to booking the Anchorage again in the future. Thomas and Margaret Rose O'Hare

Had a great holiday pleanty of room views were terrific didnt want to leave

This property is in an Ideal position for touring East Lothian, Dunbar, North Berwick, Duns and Eyemouth.

However the property is in need of a bit of TLC, there are a couple of windows which are taped up and unable to be opened, there was also some water damage to the chimney breast in one of the bedrooms. We also had an issue with the electrics while we were there, taking the whole kitchen out of action until we tracked it down to a faulty Washing Machine, which we were then without for 4 days until the owner arranged a repair. I am glad my husband knew a little about electrics otherwise we would not have been able to use the kitchen for the whole of our vacation!!!!! Our Dogs loved Pease Bay and Coldingham Bay but ended up with a couple of Ticks when using the walkway to the Beach to the right of the House, just to warn anyone who is taking a Dog with them!!

The house had everything we could dream of.

Beautiful and tastefully furnished, a stunning kitchen, living room, and dining room. Each of the four of us had our own bedroom and a private shower. The view was amazing because you could see the sea.

Another great stay at The Anchorage.

Comfortable, well-equipped and homely. Third time for us and no doubt we'll be back again.

The house is comfortable for a good size group.

Especially appreciate the many bathrooms/WCs and the views and balconies. But it's the walks that are the main attraction for us. The beach walk from the house goes over slippery rocks to a pair of very fine arches which we dubbed 'Utah by the sea'. Nearby Cove Harbour is a lovely stroll also the cliffs above it. Then a pleasant drive took us to world-class scenery at Siccar Point, Fast Castle, St Abbs Head and the private beach at Seaview with a magical view of Tantallon Castle and Bass Rock. Long may this area remain relatively undiscovered. As a keen photographer I think it's very special.

Beautiful cottage with sea views.

Well equipped kitchen. Lovely walks in the immediate area and further afield. All ages enjoyed every minute of stay.

Fabulous property lovingly decorated with the most fantastic things.

Lovely and warm inside for our January week with comfortable beds & chairs. The view out to sea was amazing with lots of birds to spot. Fell in love with the surrounding area, Cove Harbour, St Abbs, Dunbar & North Berwick spectacular!

This really is a fabulous house and excellent base for exploring the lovely East Lothian coast.

A great family get away and lots of space and exceptionally well equipped. Not bad when only missing item was a pizza cutter ! And my parents would have loved a comfy chair by the 2nd window in living room. Amazing views . Would love to visit again. Thanks

Well equipped and very comfortable.

Great views of the coast, immediately outside the property. Excellent dark sky for the keen photographer or stargazer. Large porch area very suitable for the drying of dogs and wheelchair in inclement weather (Thankfully not needed at all). Perhaps a comment in the accommodation listing about the varying floor levels, for those who are less agile on their feet would be useful. Lack of storage in kitchen of own provisions.

This is a lovely property,but it does need a lot of attention to it,from a previous review I saw they haven’t painted the lounge even though it was sealed some time ago.

We had an issue with my sons towels that were stained,we had a washing machine so that was taken care of. The railings at the top bedroom crows nest are rusting,could be a serious issue in the future. When you initially book online you are NOT warned at the outset that you can’t access the seaview side as they had a wall collapse after a storm,you have a very small decking area that can comfortably seat 3/4 but not 6/8 people. The front garden is lovely but you have the noise from the motorway. They have everything you need in the kitchen which is great but they have left guests with very little to no storage in the kitchen area for food,a couple of empty cupboards would be better. None of these points can detract from the house itself,it is lovely,comfortable and plenty of room for a large group to have a great holiday,we would go back but it just needs a some TLC.❤️

Fabulous house.

Over the years I've have got into the habit of taking certain Kitchen items to holiday lets. This time I needn't have bothered. The best fitted out Kitchen I've ever had in holiday accommodation. Will consider another visit for our next big family gathering.

Loved the property, views where amazing , great location for us , peaceful but still in easy reach of facilities, lovely area with some beautiful places to visit, would love to make a return visit some day

This was a long-awaited return visit to a property we loved, but unfortunately our experience this time around was not what we enjoyed a few years ago.

I would have been happy to communicate privately with the owner but almost 3 weeks after the faulty fire alarm was brought to their attention, they have not been in touch. This is hugely disappointing. On our final night the fire alarm sounded at 1:52 AM, this woke the entire house and caused a great deal of panic. The alarm continued to sound every 10 minutes until 3:20 AM when we were able to locate online instructions to tell us how to reset the system as there was nothing in the property detailing this.

It was absolutely lovely venue.

Well spaced and clean. Lovely views and great access for walks and driving. Saw wild dear on the beach one day and dolphins in the sea the next. The owner was great with communication and left lots of advice within the venue. Really relaxing stay.

Excellent house.

Great views. Beach walk from the house through the woods and a very short drive to Cove for the harbour and the cliff walk. We used Dunbar Station for convenient access to Edinburgh. Happy customer.

The house was well situated for views of the sea and access to the stoney beach.

The beds and sofas were comfortable and the kitchen had everything you could need. However the living room was extremely cold (it was February) despite 2 radiators and an open fire. The freezer being in the garage and having to go outside would have been a pain had we needed to use it and also appeared to be frozen up and also the kitchen cupboards should be reorganised to allow some food storage space and the bathrooms although functional are a little tired. Despite these niggles the Anchorage had what we needed for our stay.

Lovely property, good comms, great location.

We had a brilliant stay at The Anchorage, it was like a home from home.

The welcome treats we're greatly appreciated. Amazing views out to sea, the kids loved to sit and watch the waves coming in. All bedrooms comfy and plenty of storage for clothes. Everything you could need in the kitchen for cooking with and bonus having a washing machine. Loved all the pictures and trinkets throughout the house. As with any home there are bits of decorating/maintenance needing done, before going we were made aware of a recent leak which had caused a patch on the ceiling. None of this took away anything from the amazing property. We'll definitely be back. Fantastic location and an amazing house.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Anchorage, which is comfortable and homely, and met all our needs.

We enjoyed walking along the numerous beaches within an easy car ride away and even had glimpses of dolphins and deer from the house.

This was a lovely property on an ideal location for visiting the East Lothian area and Edinburgh.

There were a few issues with the property mainly some windows were unable to be opened. The shower on the right on the middle floor could not be regulated to a cooler temperature it was always too hot. And my son said warm water came out the cold water tap in the same shower room. The conservatory was lovely but was far too hot too use when we were there, roof blinds inoperable. Overall a lovely vacation was had, plenty of room for us all in this spacious property. Our 2 dogs loved their early morning walks around the area.

First impressions.

.front doorstep dirty, garden needs tidying weeding Fantastic views , comfortable furniture & beds, a beautiful house Excellent supply hot water & efficient heating Cleaning needs improvement on arrival found faeces on inner rim of w/c seat in front bedroom & under bath not clean, cellophane wrapper on floor under too Plenty cutlery & utensils , pans & cooking dishes etc, need more small cereal type bowls , very helpful to have basics ,wash up liq, liq soap , dishwasher tablets, bin bags ,dishcloth etc supplied Need grab handle near steps on wall to conservatory for safety, main stairs very difficult could do with additional rails , in promotional material helpful to say may not be suitable for anyone with poor mobility on stairs some light bulbs missing on landing & in lounge Left side bathroom on 1st floor door sticks badly For stays of 2 weeks could consider change of bedlinen Plenty of lovely thick towels I hope this is helpful, we enjoyed our stay in your house

Beautiful house, spotlessly clean, so well equipped absolutely everything we needed.

A perfect home from home. Views and location amazing. The fabulous weather helped. In the words of my four year old grandson "awesome". A true gem of a property and the neighbours are lovely. The welcome pack was a genuinely lovely touch. We will definitely return a sentiment shared by the whole family.

We loved our stay at the Anchorage- a proper holiday retreat.

The beautiful room layouts, furnishings and pictures etc. are obviously meticulously curated. The main living room in particular is stunning- featuring a wall to wall view of the sea- it was lovely to hear the waves breaking as we relaxed in the evening. All the facilities/ appliances etc are top notch- clear the owners have put a lot of thought into providing an excellent guest experience - we wouldn't hesitate to return if looking in the area again.

Excellent property that's an ideal base to explore the area.

Lots of room and fantastic sea views

The Anchorage is easy to find, a short distance from the A1, south of Dunbar.

There is a bit of road noise at the front of the house but not intrusive. The house is warm, comfortable, homely and clean. There is a spectacular view from the back of the house, which one could never be disappointed with. Excellent information packs and leaflets covering everything in the house and places to go. The house is well equipped with plenty of crockery, cutlery, pots and pans. Guests are supplied with hand wash, washing up liquid, washing liquid, toilet rolls, dishwasher tablets, dish cloth and pan scrubber together with a lovely little welcome pack. However, remember to bring milk, tea, coffee, bread etc. The lounge furniture is comfortable and there are plenty of books, dvds and games to entertain guests as well as good tv and wifi reception. The dining table in the lounge was our favourite place for meals so we could continue to enjoy the view. The first floor double beds are comfortable and the bedding cosy. The owner may like to consider providing makeup mirrors in each of these bedrooms as putting on makeup was a bit of a challenge with the mirrors available . The towels are lovely and soft. The hot water is very hot so care is needed. We found the showers small and rather claustrophobic so used the bath instead. A rubber bath mat would be useful to have available. The temperature setting on the first floor showers had been set to max, which considering the very hot water there could be a risk of scalding. I turned both of these down to minimum temperature which was safer for future guests. The fridge and freezer in the garage were easy to access though both could benefit from a clean out. The garden in winter looked a bit sad and untidy and could benefit from a little tlc. The fence by the garage has become loose in the strong winds and just needs refixing to the supports. We would love to come back to The Anchorage next year as we enjoyed our stay immensely. There are plenty of wonderful places to walk, visit and eat in the surrounding area.

Glad we stayed here it was just what we needed, peace and quiet and some stunning views.

We equipped cottage and I would recommend to friends. Parts of the cottage are looking a bit dated like the shower cubicles but having said that they don't half kick out some force of water. Need to mention how easy this place is to get too and is perfect for Edinburgh via the train from Dunbar.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Anchorage.

This is not just a holiday property, it feels home from home. Extremely well equipped with quality furnishings, the two large sofas are great for relaxing on. Comfy beds and several options on dining tables in the property. My wife found numerous running routes from the property so if you enjoy a daily run or walk this may suit you. Just beware some muddy paths. In the interests of honesty and transparency the only things I'd suggest considering for improvements are: A clothes airer would have been useful. We personally love crisp white bedding which gives a quality feel. Patten bedding feels old fashion and makes it feels as if your staying at Grans. Upgrading the open fire for a log burner. 85% of heat from an open fire goes up the chimney. Where as a modern log burner, you get 80% of the heat into the room. Which would make that living room really cosy on a winter's evening. Overall we had a truly fantastic week and really wasn't ready to leave. Thank you for our stay.

Such a beautiful house and scenery location is rural lovely walks and days out in and around the area would highly recommend this house for relaxation sea views stunning

Wow.

.. what a lovely house in a fantastic location. Spotlessly clean ,fantastic views overlooking the sea.The owners have thought of everything the kitchen was well equipped with everything you need and more!! Beds were comfy and the added comfort of 4 bathrooms 2 of which are ensuite. Not a criticism but an observation there is different levels downstairs into the rooms... wasnt a problem for us but maybe something to think about if elderly or less mobile ... would recommend to friends and would definitely return nothing negative to say about this property

Beautiful house, full of character, tastefully decorated and well equipped.

Felt so relaxed. Loved waking up and looking at the sea. Great base for walking or visiting Edinburgh. Sorry we only had 3 nights there, didn't want to leave

This is a lovely house with a beautiful outlok over the sea.

Allowing for the fact it’s an old property it still needs some updated tlc, such as the shower cubicles need updating , as there was mould on the sealant and corner of the door frames.

Some of the bedroom and bathroom windows were permanently closed and had tape on them . Outside , the front garden was untidy with weeds and other items such as an empty large gas canister. First impressions count and the front just looked unkept . The rear garden is small and only has a seating area for two chairs and a table on a small decking area, so a larger family wouldn’t be able to sit and eat outdoors. However the view out to sea from here was lovely. The kitchen doors that lead out to this rear garden could do with a mesh screen or similar, so that you could still enjoy the view with doors open ,but prevent the bugs from flying in. On the positive side, when we had a problem with the hot water not working, the owner did respond quickly by talking us through how to re-pressurise the system and then arranged for a heating engineer to attend. Also the house was comfortable, warm, well stocked and in a good location to tour the area from.

Lovely house with fantastic views.

Only criticism would be to mark all the uneven flooring as a few of us tripped in dark and we had 2 mums over 80. Slow or no response with emails to owner with minor questions But otherwise fantastic!

The setting is gorgeous but the closeness of the A1 causing some minor noise pollution to the front of the house, the smallness of the shower cubicles and the fact that the freezer is in the garage are all niggles.

They are not enough to put off visiting but can mar first impressions. The views over the sea, the wildlife sightings (many bird species including Gannets diving, dolphins swimming by, etc) and the glorious sun (and moon) rises are worth highlighting. I would certainly be happy to revisit

Beautiful house, with amazing views, quiet and comfortable.

House was beautiful.

Views even better. Totally relaxed week, even the weather was kind.

Second time at The Anchorage and as ever a wonderful stay.

The location is incredible, with the most amazing sea views which change all the time depending on the weather. We brought coal and more wood with us to be able to enjoy those views even though it was lashing it down outside. Loads to do in the area, with some brilliant walks (the local beach is a stunner) and a short trip to places like North Berwick and Tantallon Castle. If you're a serious cook then take some sharp knives! We absolutely love this cottage and we will return every year. Highly recommended.

2nd time at this wonderful place, beautiful views to wake up to in the mornings, House immaculate and fully equipped, There are wonderful beaches to go stretch your legs would highly recommend this place, Hopefully try book again before end of the year

We enjoyed our stay a wonderful holiday home thank you xx

lovely property - amazing views

Lovely home in a stunning location, hosts very accommodating.

Everything you need to have a home away from home stay but with stunning views. We will book again and hope for full health next time we got unlucky this time. I would highly recommend this property

This is a spacious comfortable cottage.

Having a toilet on the ground floor was perfect for us as we had 2 over 80 year olds and it saved them a trek up the stairs. It was really cold when we were away and the coal fire was brilliant. It was too cold for us to use the sun room. The views over the sea were fabulous and we had lots of birds visiting the feeders. The central heating was great especially the radiators in the kitchen. The cottage has everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Amazing views , we saw dolphins a few times (mornings between 11-12!

) ,location is great , handy for the A1 to explore the area and a short hop to Edinburgh. Lovely property ! Will stay again.

Had a wonderful 7 night stay here.

The views are spectacular. We had mixed weather so saw the sea at it's worse and best,which was magnificent. The house is comfortable with plenty of space . We were a group of 7 adults and 2 children and 2 dogs. Plenty room for everyone to relax . Big dinning room table to eat round and play board games. Lots of interesting places to visit. The John Muir museum was one of my favourites. Can't fault this lovely big house . Maybe just the fridge in kitchen could have been colder. Thankfully there is a spare in garage. Would like to thank the owner High for the lovely welcoming gifts. What a lovely thoughtful gesture. Would definitely recommend this beautiful, big, comfortable house to relax with family or friends.

Not the best house we've ever stayed it.

Needs a facelift as it has peeling paint in the bathrooms (showers weren't very clean either), stained ceilings and radiators that don't work. Lovely views but also not the best time to visit area as most of it was closed for the winter. Given the rental price, we expected better.

Beautiful house, and lovely views.

Very well equipped in the kitchen and throughout the house. Would have benefitted from a larger fridge/freezer in the kitchen, but because there was another fridge freezer in the garage this was acceptable. Great location - so close to many lovely beaches with interesting walks all around. Loved it, and would definitely return.

Very comfortable holiday house, full of character and well equipped.

Views from the house are stunning. We had a wonderful week thankyou.

A beautiful house in a brilliant location with stunning views.

A well equipped house with everything you would need for a great stay. Plenty of room for 6 of us. The views of the North sea are amazing with lots of wildlife including dolphins. A great base for exploring the local area.

This is one of the best houses we have ever stayed in and the view is outstanding.

It is also a wonderful area for geologists, botanists, bird watchers, golfers and walkers. Edinburgh is easily accessible. As an older person I would have liked a bit more support on the stairs particularly to the second floor - where there is a magnificent view over the North Sea. Some better serving cutlery would have been good but this is only a minor niggle. Our westie loved it.

We really enjoyed our second stay at The Anchorage.

We've found it's perfect for our three generations of family and pet dog. Nice coastal walks locally , plenty of attractions a short drive away. Cozy and comfortable. Outstanding seashore views. We hope to return. Thank you.

Beautiful house and location.

Stunning views and great walks. We will definitely be back.

Wonderful few days for a family gathering.

Highly recommend this property. Enjoyed by all 8 adults and 2 dogs. Very comfortable and blessed with sunshine in February.

Fantastic house right by the sea.

Stunning views. Easy to travel to places of interest. Cheap train from Dunbar station into Edinburg

Fabulous house 2nd time we have stayed love it!

Wonderful house, amazing views and had everything we needed.

Lovely holiday cottage with amazing seaview.

Wow.

View's, cleanliness, comfort, space, amenities, scenic local walks. Ideal for our Family Bubble to safely spend quality time together after lock down in the city. Phew! just what we needed! Thank you owners Hugh and Tracey.

We had a lovely week at The Anchorage.

This a lovely property with exceptional views out to sea. The property is well equipped and the lounge is bigger than it looks in the pictures on the web site. We found plenty of walks and places to visit in the area without being in contact with many people during these difficult times.

The setting of The Anchorage was ideal,local beaches could be walked to and were varied.

The views were amazing,we saw a pod of dolphins one day. The arrangements by Sykes due to Covid were excellent.

This is a very spacious house in a lovely setting.

It is very well equipped athough it would have been nice to have seen it in pre Covid conditions with all the ornaments etc in place. The views at the rear of the property are spectacular and we enjoyed watching all the fishing and cargo boats going past as well as the wildlife. I would not hesitate to return.

The cottage is in a beautiful location ,overlooking the sea ,a little unfortunate that Scotland was still in near lockdown ,we managed to get an online shop from Tesco which was very helpful as this cottage didn't provide any bare essentials like milk and bread which in previous experiences many cottages do Loved the break though ,definitely recommend

lovely house ,lovely views,lovely weather,( for march).

Very interesting house.

The Anchorage was a fantastic property which had beautiful views of the coast and was conveniently located right by the A1.

Everything you need is there, including a lot of books, dvds, games, puzzles and a well equipped kitchen. There are even 4 bathrooms (two are ensuites) which meant that everyone in our party had their own bathroom. We enjoyed having breakfast at the kitchen table with the amazing view over the sea every day. You can walk down to a stony beach by coming out of the cottage and turning right (about a 5 minute walk) but a nicer beach is 5 minutes drive to Pease bay or 15 minutes drive to Coldingham Bay. Overall we had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend Th Anchorage.

This property is exceptional.

Beautifully situated. Fabulous sea views. Fabulous furnishing and décor with quirky fixtures and fittings. Very comfortable. Very well equipped. Lots of little extras. The owners have made it a home from home and we felt privileged to share their lovely home. Unfortunately, the weather was not so kind for our visit, but we still enjoyed our stay. Would love to return for longer and maybe some better weather!

The cottage was absolutely lovely, very warm and cosy, with beautiful views of the sea and coastline.

It was very well equipped. There are walks straight out from the front door. We all wished we could have stayed there longer.

The property itself was very comfortable however cleanliness not as I would have expected from a property of this rating - carpets in particular and a pretty run down pool table - damaged table and cues WiB no tips In addition i suspect there was a ‘premium ‘ rental included for use of the on site swimming pool.

We arrived on Friday evening only to find that that our party of 7 adults was allocated a 1 hour slot each day with the first session being at 8.30 am on Saturday morning So for a long weekend of say 72 hours only 2 sessions were allocated No idea if any of the guests on the site used the pool during our stay or if the pool was empty at any time - no way of being able to flex or choose times

Fantastic holiday, beautiful settings and scenery - could not recommend The Anchorage enough - truly brilliant - will definitely be going back!

The anchorage was an excellent choice for my family and I - party of 8 including young children and a baby.

Exceeded my expectations in all areas as a beautiful home with every luxury which we all enjoyed. The views of the sea were a highlight for all of us. Within easy reach of a number of coastal beauty spots; St Abbs, North Berwick and only an hour from Edinburgh for a day out at the galleries and shops

the cottage was fantastic over looking the sea.

a small train away for Edinburgh. I couldn’t recommend it enough

Lovely house lovely location lovely places to visit we will be back

Beautiful property with amazing sea views, lovely area had a really relaxing stay.

The location of this cottage is amazing.

Such a beautiful spot with amazing views and trails to explore. We spent many hours beachcombing and waking the trails! The only small issue we had was the lack of hot water. Just be prepared and aware that everyone needs to take a short shower and wait in between for hot water. Other than that, it was perfect!! We will certainly be back!!

The Anchorage was a dream to stay in.

The house was absolutely immaculate and had more than enough facilities such as kitchen equipment, towels, linen etc. The views and surrounding areas are beautiful and exactly what we, as a family, needed for our week long break. We will definitely be revisiting.

We had a lovely Christmas break at the Anchorage, it was ideal for a large group feeling like we all had lots of space but cosy at the same time.

The sea views were beautiful and it was so nice to have our own piece of beach right on the doorstep. The location near the A1 was so convenient for exploring the coastline and we were able to discover lots of lovely towns nearby.

A fabulous place to stay for an early family Christmas get together.

Great open fire with magnificent views over the sea.

The Anchorage is a fabulous house which is warm, comfortable and spacious with the most amazing sea views.

There are lovely places to walk to and visit nearby.

This is our second visit to The Anchorage and we just love it!

The house is beautiful with stunning views that just take your breath away every time you look outside! Location is great for a wee walk to the cove, short drive to Dunbar and another short drive to an absolutely stunning beach at Limetree Walk! Felt like I was at the beaches way up north where we usually holiday as a family! Fantastic Holiday! Definitely would return. Thanks

A really lovely, comfortable house.

The views were spectacular. Would highly recommend this property

The house was really lovely and in a beautiful and very peaceful location.

The ever changing sea view from the sofa was amazing! The house had everything you needed and more. There were fantastic dog walks from the door and lots of lovely places to visit nearby. We would love to return!

Garden a lot smaller than pictures suggested.

Light bulbs out in hall and porch. John Muir walk was down the road through forest walks and then down to beach, further away and rough terrain not all of our party made it.House itself was okay a bit dusty beds comfy and a nice house.

After having a good look at it on your website, the cottage met all my expectations and I have no complaints.

The location and views from most of the windows were amazing and overall the cottage was comfortable and pleasant to stay in. We all agreed that we would return in the future. Many thanks !

The cottage was really excellent for a pre Christmas family gathering.

A minor suggestion would be to improve the standard of the kitchen knives if only for them to be sharp. Also there was not a proper carving fork that I could find. This is very picky I know but as the chef.... To be able to sit and look out over the north sea with the sun coming up was fantastic as were the dark sky opportunities. The shops in Dunbar were extremely helpful and the staff welcoming. The grandchildren's reaction to the views from their bedroom of the sea was,' This is awesome.' A very good Christmas break and the road transport links are very easy.

The Anchorage is a superb property, extremely well equipped, beautifully presented and offers wonderful views.

The location of the property provides easy access to walks and is within an easy drive of some dog friendly bays, small towns and places of interest. I can't recommend the Anchorage enough and look forward to returning.

Great property with fantastic views.

Beautiful place to stay.

Stunning views and gorgeous house. Would highly recommend staying here, we had a wonderful week and will be back. Thank you!

A superb house with wonderful views There were 5 adults and 2 small children and the house was suitable for us all We would definitely book it again

The Anchorage is a very well renovated cottage right on the sea.

We loved just watching the sea and sky change from the comfort of the lounge and sun room. We were also fortunate with the weather - lots of sunshine. The renovation work has been done to a high standard and the cottage has everything you need to self cater. Brilliant cooker. Beds are comfortable, with good pillows and quality towels and bedding. All in all our part of three would return without a second thought.

The Anchorage is a fantastic home away from home the views are simply breathtaking!

Being so close to the A1 there are no limits to where you can go exploring Stirling and Edinburgh only a short drive away and Fantastic Castle's, we bought a Historic Scotland Pass which was great value for money as we went to all of the Castle's in the area (which there is a lot of!) There's also a free Castle Hailes Castle which is only a 10-15 min drive from the property, the Anchorage had everything you needed for a nice relaxing break.

A delightful house in a stunning location!

The facilities, including a large well-equipped kitchen, four bedrooms with plentiful bathrooms, a lounge and a conservatory both with wood-burning fires, and a patio overlooking the sea, are excellent. We visited in January and the house was always warm. Our arrival was greeted with 'welcome' party provisions. There were interesting books and DVDs in the shelves. We loved it!

Very spacious, great space for a large family and very homely.

Loved our New Year stay and the views of the sea are amazing.

Beautiful house, fantastic views and very peaceful.

We had a lovely Christmas week here and would definitely come back. Superb.

We had an absolutely amazing time at the Anchorage.

The views out to see were just incredible, watching the moon rising in the snug conservatory with fire on a wind belting was a real treat. Fabulous walks to Cove and local gorges and woodland, not to mention the beach. Anyone looking should not be put off by local infrastructure, you don't notice it. We will be back!

Fantastic house in great location.

The house and location right on the sea were perfect.

The contact with the owners prior to our visit was smooth and they went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed our week, even getting games and buckets and spades together for our young daughters. We arrived to fresh flowers, milk in fridge, as well as delicous treats for the children and adults- including a very much appreciated bottle of prosecco! The house was essentially spotless and a joy to spend time in. Many a coffee was enjoyed outside wrapped up warm, (October) enjoying the fabulous uninterrupted views. Can't wait to return. Would highly recommend The Anchorage.
