The smell of salt air drifts through the windows, and the first gulls wake you long before any alarm ever would.
The Anchorage runs a guest house alongside camping pods, so you've got options depending on the weather or your mood — four walls and a proper bed, or something closer to the ground with a bit more adventure about it. It's open all year, which means you can chase the quiet shoulder seasons or hunker down through a proper British winter. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth a call ahead if you're bringing one. The setting feels coastal (that salt tang doesn't lie), making it a good shout for couples after a windswept weekend or anyone who likes the idea of a base that isn't a full-on campsite but still gets you outside.
Facilities aren't heavily listed, so expect simplicity rather than a leisure complex. Campfires are a maybe — check when you arrive, as it'll depend on conditions and site rules. The vibe is low-key and year-round dependable, the kind of place that works because it doesn't try too hard.
