About this property
Bay Cottage is an attractive, three-storey detached house situated in the heart of Weymouth, Dorset. Just moments away from the picturesque old harbour, Bay Cottage is a wonderful place to call home for a family looking to holiday in this ever-popular Dorset location. Step inside and make yourself at home in the lounge, complete with stylish furnishings and a Smart TV, creating a homely environment for a movie night. Allow the chef of the group to command in the kitchen, a contemporary space fitted with integrated appliances to assist with home cooking, whilst the dining table is where all can gather for mealtimes.
Sliding patio doors lead to the outside decking, an inviting setup for alfresco dining on a warm evening. As the night grows dark, retreat upstairs to find the sleeping quarters; on the first floor there are two king-size rooms and one double room, whilst the top floor plays host to a charming room with three single beds. Bay Cottage sits in an excellent location in Weymouth; in just a short walk lies Weymouth Marina, where you can pick up an ice cream and watch the boats pull in and out for the day, head for a stroll along the Esplanade to the Weymouth Pavilion, or a walk to the historic harbour or Nothe Gardens, which features the iconic Nothe Fort.
Spend a sunny afternoon on Weymouth Beach, building sandcastles and taking a dip in the sea, just half a mile from the property. Discover the cultural side of Dorset by taking a trip to the county town of Dorchester, where you can explore the variety of shops and restaurants the town has to offer; while there, check out the historical landmarks such as Maumbury Rings or take a tour of the brewery. At the end of a long day of exploring, retreat to Bay Cottage to relax and unwind, where you can look forward to a peaceful home away from home.
The 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 beaches have 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!

Kitchen had plenty of utensils and crockery but none of the basics such as tin foil, which are really helpful for a short stay and bathrooms rather light on toilet rolls Garden space was useful too but a 4th chair would have helped. Dining Rea great and lounge cosy - was big enough for us but too small if the house is full. Despite these comments, liked it and would book again if in the Weymouth area. No pa

Views over the town and out to see were stunning and there were great pubs and places to eat very close by around the harbour. The house itself was real quality with great furnishings and decor. Very comfy beds too... very important. Would certainly stay there again.

The house had everything we needed, and is probably one of the best equipped I have been to. The kitchen had so many pots, pans, crockery, utensils and other equipment, which made it so much easier to eat in and cater for our party of 9. We also had to be a bit regimented with using the bathrooms, as 9 of us using 2 bathrooms was always going to be a challenge, but we managed. It's a shame that the large front bedroom hasn't got a small en suite bathroom, but perhaps that is something which could be thought about in the future. Our bed was very comfortable, and everyone else seemed to be happy with their's too. The only downside for was the pillows, which are great quality, but were much too soft for me my husband and some others in our party. There was lots of storage for all of our clothes, and the washer/dryer was a bonus, which meant we managed to take most things back home clean. We knew that on street parking would be awkward, due to being on a street of old houses which weren't originally built with cars in mind. But, once we'd dropped everything off, the car park near the harbour was close enough to use, and always had lots of space. The location is perfect for Nothe Fort, the harbour, the town centre, the beach and so much more. Although, anyone with health issues might struggle with the steep hill or steps back to the property. We still managed, even though our party was aged from 7 to 70, and we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The outside space was fine to sit out on, but the unused space behind that would be ideal if developed more to include maybe another building to sit in seperate from the main house or have as a games room or tv room. All in all, we had a wonderful holiday, in a great location, with use of an incredibly equipped house.
