About this property
Mermaid House is a lovely three-bedroom house in Weymouth, Dorset, and is ideal for a family holiday or a romantic getaway. It has a relaxing blue theme throughout to reflect the property's location, and it is tastefully furnished with contemporary amenities and stylish furnishings. When you arrive at your home-away-from-home, the kitchen/diner invites you to use the integrated appliances to prepare a delicious meal for your group before sitting down to dine and plan your adventures at the dining table. The living/dining room is a welcoming space from here, furnished with striking orange leather sofas, and a country-style dining table, ideal for unwinding after a long day. When it's time to sleep, make your way upstairs to the bedrooms; the first is a pleasant double room and a twin, both with neutral tones, and the third is a single room with a dedicated hanging space, allowing for a flexible sleeping arrangement. The interior is completed by a sleek bathroom where you can freshen up in style before your day, as well as a convenient cloakroom on the ground floor. Outside, take advantage of the furniture while sipping a glass of wine as the last of the summer sun sets. Enter Weymouth's town centre, a seaside town with plenty of attractions to keep you busy! With its variety of marine life on display, the SEA LIFE Centre Weymouth is a great place to start, or you can explore Nothe Fort, Portland Castle, and Weymouth Harbour; there's also plenty of lovely scenery to take in, so take a walk along the promenade or enjoy a picnic in the park.

Weymouth, Dorset's old Victorian brewery located at Brewers Quay. Much of the grade II listed complex and associated brewery buildings originate from the late 1800s and early 1900s. This area has several restaurants, cafés, and pubs, providing a bustling culture where you can relax and watch the world go by. Original Tudor harbour structures, estimated to have been built in 1600, are tucked away down the harbourside streets and are well worth a visit.

Everything was great both inside and out, the garden was fab when the sun was up to relax in. The mattress was a bit soft for me and the sofas could have had a higher back due to my dodgy back, but otherwise great. The welcome pack and milk was a really nice touch, thank you. No need to drive as so much is close by and walkable or 'busable'. The Greedy Seagull restaurant has great food, definitely worth a visit.

It was a shame the freezer hadn't been mended, we had to throw away some stuff that had thawed, came home to read a review from August saying there had been a problem with the freezer, which I assume hadn't been fixed.
