Lovely cottage

Lovely clean, comfortable cottage with everything you need. Was quiet during our stay, with friendly neighbours. View of sea from bedroom and walking distance to Chesil Beach, but also close to Weymouth Beach. Perfect base to explore other areas such as Bridport, West Bay and Lyme Regis.

Great Location

Tucked away just off the Rodwell Trail means that you can easily walk into Weymouth or Portland whilst enjoying some lovely views. Then you get to come back to this lovely home to relax in. It provided everything that we were looking for, clean with comfortable beds and sofa. Communication from Suzanne was very good, ensuring that we had all of the information that we needed.

Short break

Property is very nice overall and beautiful views. However there was quite a few cobwebs on walls and windows which were gathering dust and I have a severe dust allergy. I think the bedding and sofas might need spraying to kill off dust mites too as my allergies were awful during the time spent in the house and started affecting my sleep. Beds were bit soft for our liking but that’s a personal preference. Lovely property but probably wouldn’t stay here again due to personal reasons.

Perfect location!

The property was in the perfect location. A few minutes walk to the beach. A short drive into Weymouth or bike or walk along the trail if you're feeling more energetic. The cottage was very comfortable with everything we needed for our stay. The shortbread biscuits went down a treat!

Great location and high quality fittings & fixtures

Really comfortable house just seconds from the Rodwell Trail and SW coastal path. Lovely back garden if you just want to relax.. Only minor problem was being unable to open shed as the door is stuck at the bottom, but this in no way prevented a marvellous break. Will definitely book again.
