Great Location - Fisherman's Cottage near quayside

In the heart of Poole, the charming 130-year old Anchor Cottage is yards from the water’s edge. Walking distance to bars, cafes, restaurants and shops, a beautiful cottage in a great location. Originally home to fishermen and lifeboat men, now a cosy retreat to welcome you, quietly tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the quayside, you will be spoilt for choice of fabulous restaurants and watering holes. Harbour ferries from the quay, good bus routes and parking behind lockable gates.

Other things to note
Close to harbour and quayside - 100 metres to Old Lifeboat Station and crabbing hotspot - Frequent busses to nearby beaches and Sandbanks.

In Anchor Cottage you couldn't be better placed to explore everything the harbour and its surrounding area has to offer. There's something for everyone do in Poole with beaches, watersports, fishing and nature trails. Catch a ferry across the harbour to Brownsea Island to see the peacocks and red squirrels or walk 100 metres to the Old Lifeboat station and go crabbing on the quayside. There are events all year round and the summer fireworks off the Quay are a spectacular sight.

Short break Anchor Cottage
Well kept house, good standard of cleanliness, and well equipped and spacious. Comfortable furnishings including beds. Ideally located for pubs, restaurants, public transport and ferries, as just a very short walk. Although close to amenities, the road was quiet. The outside space was nice to sit in, with comfortable seating provided. Highly recommend for a quiet comfortable house to stay in.
