Guests say
The Anchorage is a cottage with a beautiful garden leading to the river, offering a comfortable stay and a warm atmosphere, especially appreciated during colder seasons. It's situated in a quiet area, ideal for family holidays and pet-friendly, with ample space for relaxation and enjoyment of the natural surroundings. The property's location is convenient for accessing the Broads and local amenities.
Several reviews mention issues with cleanliness, including the need to clean kitchen equipment and a fridge, and a smell of damp in one bedroom. However, one review does describe the property as generally clean.
The location is praised for its quietness, proximity to the Broads, and the large, secluded garden. It is also described as convenient for accessing local shops and boat trips.
The property is described as comfortable and warm, even during cold weather. However, there are comments about the need for updating decor and furnishings, and non-working bedside lamps, which slightly affect the comfort level.
Facilities are deemed sufficient, but there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as leaking toilets, curtains off rails, and a smaller TV than advertised. Instructions for appliances and central heating are noted as missing.
There are no mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts, so it is not possible to assess this category.

Unfortunately we found the anchorage to be unclean and unloved, we needed to wipe out the fridge and wash all of the kitchen equipment before use, we also had to descale the kettle. One of the single beds upstairs didn’t have a sheet on and there was an old mouldy beer bottle in one of the draws.The toilet in the downstairs bedroom appears to be leaking leaving this bedroom with a smell of damp and the majority of the curtains hanging off rails. With some TLC this property could be really lovely but sadly as it stands it’s quite a disappointing stay.

A good cottage for a family with large grounds and in a very quite area. The decor and furnishings would benefit from updating and though generally clean a few improvements could be made to areas like the shower. There were no instructions for the appliances or other facilities in the cottage. The TV was smaller than the advertised size and the Sky receiver did not have a subscrption. We enjoyed our stay and the dogs really enjoyed running around and exploring the garden.
