Directory of housing locations with guest rooms

Many people are keen to know if family and friends will be able to stay with them when they move to an Anchor retirement property.

Many of our leasehold estates and retirement properties for rent offer a range of shared facilities to complement each private residence. These can include laundry and communal lounge areas, attractive gardens and sometimes, a guest room that may be used by Anchor residents. 
 
A guest room

Understanding guest room availability

Availability and use of guest room facilities varies around the country and between rented and leasehold estates.

How does it work?

If you live in an Anchor rented housing location which has a guest room and you would like friends or family to stay when they come to visit you, our guest rooms can be used for a small charge.

Similarly, if you, as an Anchor resident, are visiting another Anchor housing location with a guest room, you may be able to stay for a small charge.

The residents living at Anchor leasehold estates with guest room facilities can decide whether to make them available to other Anchor residents or just to their own friends and family members. They can also decide whether there should be a small charge for using the guestroom facilities.

The directory available below highlights the leasehold estates and retirement properties for rent that currently have guestrooms and allow other Anchor residents to use these facilities. This is subject to change so please check back frequently.

Our leasehold and rented housing guest rooms exist primarily to give relatives somewhere to stay close to an Anchor resident who is ill. Therefore lettings are prioritised and stays should usually be for a short duration unless there are exceptional circumstances. This also means visits made for leisure purposes can be cancelled at short notice, to ensure the guest room facilities are available in such eventualities.

About our guest rooms

The size, décor and facilities offered by our guest rooms vary from location to location, but they usually feature twin beds.

Please note our guest rooms are no smoking and pets are not allowed.

For more information about our guest room policy, guest room facilities, charges, availability, and to make a booking, please contact the manager at the relevant Anchor leasehold or rented housing location as outlined in the directory.

Frequently asked questions

How much is it to use a guest room?

The charge for using a guest room is determined by the manager and residents of each location and will therefore vary, but will typically be less than the price of a hotel room in the local area. Please phone the local manager on the number provided in our Guest Rooms Directory to discuss the cost and arrange your booking.

How long can guests stay in the room?

Guest rooms are only to be used for short stays of a few days. In some exceptional circumstances longer visits may be agreed by the local Manager. 

Can I bring my pet to stay in the guest room?

Unfortunately, pets are not permitted in Anchor guest rooms.

Is linen provided in guest rooms?

Yes, all linen is provided in our guest rooms.
