Guide to 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 
 
If you live in a 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 an Anchor leasehold estate with guest room facilities can decide whether to make them available to other Anchor residents or just to their friends and family members. They can also decide whether there should be a small charge for using the guestroom facilities.

This guide highlights the leasehold estates and retirement properties for rent that currently have guestrooms and allow other Anchor residents to use these facilities and is subject to change.

Our leasehold and rented housing guest rooms exist primarily to allow relatives to have somewhere to stay close to an Anchor resident who is ill. Therefore lettings are prioritised and should usually be for short duration ideally no more than seven days (unless there are exceptional circumstances). This means those visits made for leisure purposes can be cancelled at short notice, so as they are available for such eventualities.

The size, décor and facilities offered by our guest rooms vary from location to location, but they usually feature twin beds. Guest room charges also vary and so you should contact the relevant Manager directly to discuss guest room facilities, charges, availability and to make a booking.

Please note our guest rooms are no smoking and pets are not allowed. For more information about our guest room policy please contact the Manager at the relevant Anchor  leasehold or rented housing location.
