Guests say
Redcliff View Lodge is praised for its excellent location near the harbour and beaches, with many guests enjoying the spaciousness, sea views, and the well-equipped kitchen. The property's unique charm and the convenience of parking are also appreciated. However, some guests have noted that the property could benefit from a deep clean and maintenance to address wear and tear.
Several reviews mention cleanliness issues, including dust, cobwebs, and unclean kitchenware. Some guests found the property to be clean overall, but there is a consensus that a more thorough cleaning is needed.
The lodge receives high praise for its location, being a short walk to the harbour, town, and beaches. The convenience of the location is consistently highlighted as a positive aspect.
Guests find the main bedroom and bed comfortable, and the property spacious. However, there are comments about the need for new sofas and mattresses, and the discomfort of the living room seating.
The property is well-equipped, particularly the kitchen, and offers good Wi-Fi. However, guests have reported maintenance issues such as problems with the oven, shower, and cleanliness of appliances, suggesting room for improvement.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.
About this property
Subtly hidden away close to the locally well know beauty spot in Weymouth called Bincleaves this detached character property is situated.
A sociable kitchen opens onto a bright dining area / conservatory with an attractive roof terrace. The property benefits from a downstairs bedroom and shower room, so may be ideal for guests who are less able.
A walk across Bincleaves Green along the cliff tops to the Nothe Gardens, then around to the harbour makes for an unforgettable experience. The first floor balcony of the lodge have views that span across from Weymouth Bay and over Weymouth itself where you can see the famous 'White Horse' and 'Hardy's Monument' in the far distance.
The main sandy beach in Weymouth town centre is within a short walking distance, however the less well known but in some ways more attractive beach at Sandsfoot, with its Robinson Crusoe appeal is perhaps the nearest one being roughly an eight minutes' walk away. A short cut through down the footpath directly opposite the property brings you to within a two-minute walk of Hope Square. Here you can enjoy a variety of restaurants, tea rooms and pubs. Heading through the square you will reach the pretty Old Harbour.
A very well presented lodge that offers you a peaceful stay, but within easy distance of all the fun that Weymouth has to offer.
The ever popular resort of Weymouth makes an outstanding year-round holiday destination, with a wide variety of attractions on offer, appealing to all tastes and ages. The glorious golden sandy beach with its shallow waters provide excellent facilities for all kinds of watersports, whilst from the picturesque, bustling harbour you can take regular fishing trips. A short drive takes you to Portland Harbour, and the rugged “Isle” of Portland, linked to Weymouth by the dramatic Chesil Beach. Visit Dorchester, Thomas Hardy’s “Casterbridge”, only 7 miles away, or take a journey along the scenic coastal road and call in at Abbotsbury Swannery and Subtropical Gardens. Alternatively, just head down to West Bay - the views of the stunning Dorset Heritage Coastline are not to be missed!

The cleaning of the house could have been better. Harbour only took 5-10 minutes to walk using the little lane opposite the house. Good location for easy walking. Would definitely stay at the property again.

Kitchen very well equipped. Found the gas oven flame high on one side and was burning food and trays. We were a bit disappointed at some areas of cleanliness and I am no domestic goddess. Had to clean the surfaces in main bedroom as something greasy on top of chest of drawers and more dust than expected on bedhead and on the towel rail. Both showers have mould and limescale. A few minutes job to clean as I know, living in a hard water area. One concern is the fan in the upstairs shower thick with dust. I thought regular cleaning of fans is a given as a fire risk. Our friends mentioned the downstairs fan was not working. I also left a note as a kitchen chair had a lose slat that fell out the first night. It is a pity that these issues let down an otherwise nice property .

Only a few tv channels. Loved the property and everything good except for weatherâ¦.not your fault. Two terraces very good and loved the view from the upstairs one. Great position for walking into town. Lots of information leaflets and plenty of utensils, crockery etc.
