The shallow waters of Weymouth Bay provide fantastic conditions for kite surfing, wind surfing and sailing, and played host to a series of major sailing events in the 2012 Olympics.
For those in search of culture, Portland Castle is nearby and is considered to be one of King Henry VII’s finest coastal forts. Literary fans should head to ’Hardy’s Cottage’, the former home of Thomas Hardy, which has remained largely unchanged from the time Thomas lived there and is where he wrote ’Greenwood Tree’ and ’Far from the Madding Crowd’.

A lovely modern three storey property within walking distance of the promenade and restaurants in Weymouth. A quiet local location with parking on the private drive.

Lovely for what we wanted, a holiday by the sea. Only a 10 minute walk to the beach, harbour and loads of pubs/cafes. The house was relatively clean and tidy but could do with updating, especially things like TVs and bathrooms which were very basic. The dryer function didn't seem to work on the washer/dryer. The back garden and pathway to the front door needs all cutting back, some really scratchy plants obstructing the path to the front door which scratched my little boy and could have scratched the car in the drive too as its so over grown. No free view on the TVs or smart functions. Would also benefit from black out blinds/curtains in all the bedrooms, and its very noisy in the master bedroom due to the main road that passes by.
