Home description
Anchor cottage is 200 years old and is situated within a few minutes walk of the Harbour and sea front. It has been built with Devonshire stone and the walls are twenty-four inches thick. It has recently been completely renovated with all new and modern comforts and accessories but still holds all its original charm and character.

The entrance to the cottage is situated inside a private shared courtyard, outside the lounge window is a small table and chairs where you can enjoy breakfast in the fresh air.
