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. 
 

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.

This directory 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.
