The contemporary open-plan interior flows onto the balcony, extending your living space outdoors. This combination of modern comfort and coastal views makes the apartment ideal for anniversaries or romantic getaways.
Pet Friendly
Anchors Away does not accept pets, operating a strict no-animals policy throughout the year. The apartment's seafront location and modern furnishings mean pets cannot be accommodated. If you're travelling with dogs or other animals, you'll need to arrange alternative accommodation or pet care during your Devon visit.
