Itâs not far to walk into Seahouses from the bungalow. Anchor Lodge provides a clean and comfortable holiday home with everything you will need for a lovely holiday.

Cooker hood filter smelt really bad and obviously overdue for replacement. Heated Towel rail in ensuite did not work and also extractor fan in Family Bathroom. Everything else was top notch and we enjoyed staying there. Thinking of a Family holiday there with next door combined for a party of 12.
