Osmington village, is situated on the Jurassic coastline of Dorset, just 6 miles from Weymouth wher you will find an glorious beach and historic harbour and just 11 miles from Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door. Home to the famous Chalk hillside carving of George III on horseback, cut into the hillside to commemorate the Royal visits to Weymouth, this landmark can be seen from miles away. It is also the place that John Constable spent his honeymoon in 1816 and where he completed his painting of Weymouth Bay that now hangs in the National Gallery. The South West Coastal path runs through Osmington Mills, a tiny hamlet on the edge of Osmington. Here many walkers start their coast path walks at the Smugglers inn, where reputedly there are historic connections to smuggling. Be sure to visit to find out all the stories.

The kids frequented it daily! We did expect one bedroom to have a king size bed with a single bed so unfortunately we had to take a mattress from the room with 3 single beds to accommodate 2 adults and a young child in a room. All rooms are exceptionally spacious, nicely decorated and bathrooms excellent. The showers were a delight with highly pressured water. The kitchen is superbly stocked with plenty of crockery and glasses etc. which suited us as we cooked a lot. I was disappointed with the cleaning utensils as the mops and brushes werenât very clean. We did have a fantastic week and would highly recommend it, especially as we were a large family with adults of various ages and 4 children in total. Thank you so much for a fantastic week.

There were a couple of very minor things that need fixing but overall its a great place to stay. If I was suggesting one thing its that it would be good to have a rail to hep you get into and out of the pool. For older people it would be a real help

A really lovely space - could use more tea towels and dishwasher tablets as a house that sleeps 10 people should have amenities to match but this is a very minor inconvenience that wouldnât stop us booking again.
