Anchor House is in the perfect location, minutes away from the beach, bars, restaurants and history of Ericeira. The apartment is clean and tidy and perfect for a short stay for those wishing to spend the days surfing or sunbathing or both - although be warned that there is a high window with no glass between the bathroom and kitchen, leading to little privacy unless your companion stays in the bedroom!
However, our stay was marred by the mattress. Only one or two reviews had mentioned how firm the mattress was, but it was much worse than firm; an orthopaedic mattress, for us it felt like sleeping on a plank of wood. The landlord’s parents kindly leant us an extra blanket to use as a mattress topper but unfortunately it made little difference.
There is also a lovely courtyard with table and chairs for outdoor dining and drinks, and the property always felt very secure.
