Guests say

Newtons Cove Retreat is a well-received holiday rental in Weymouth, praised for its excellent location, cleanliness, and modern amenities. Guests appreciate its proximity to the harbour, town centre, and beaches. The property is described as beautiful, spacious, and well-equipped, making it ideal for special celebrations and family holidays.

The property is consistently described as clean and well-presented. A few isolated comments mention minor cleanliness issues, but these do not detract from the overall high standards experienced by the majority of guests.

The location is highly praised for being quiet, peaceful, and close to the town centre, harbour, and coastal paths. Its convenience for accessing local attractions and dining options contributes to its excellent rating.

While the property is generally found to be comfortable and well-appointed, there are several remarks about the firmness of the mattresses and the discomfort of the sofas, which suggests room for improvement in this area.

The property boasts a range of modern facilities and amenities that guests find very satisfactory. However, there are comments about the lack of TVs in bedrooms, the number of dining chairs, and the absence of a tumble dryer, indicating some areas could be better equipped.

While guests are thankful for the amenities provided and the little extras like tea, coffee, and dishwasher tablets, there is no mention of gifts, so it is not possible to assess the thoughtfulness in terms of gifts. Therefore, this score is set to null.

About this property

Superbly positioned in a popular residential area of Weymouth’s seaside resort in Dorset, lies Newtons Cove Retreat, a beautiful townhouse providing wonderful self-catering accommodation for a family or group of friends seeking a staycation on the spectacular Jurassic Coast. Set across three floors, the property consists of four bedrooms and bright and airy living areas; the ground floor of the property is light and spacious with the open-plan kitchen/diner being the social hub of the home. Here you can gather together and have all hands on deck whilst preparing home-cooked meals to be enjoyed at the dining table, the breakfast bar or even outside on the patio area complete with table and chairs. The kitchen is extremely well-equipped with all the essentials and mod cons to make cooking for your party a breeze. The separate sitting room is a great place to settle down for the evening and switch on the TV to catch up on your favourite TV shows or simply spend time with your loved ones planning the next day's adventures. Moving through the property, the first floor boasts a king-size room with an en-suite shower room featuring underfloor heating, a walk-in shower, basin and WC, where you can freshen up between activities, and a twin room with two single beds for a flexible sleeping arrangement. Climbing the stairs to the second floor you will find a further two bedrooms; one king-size, again with an en-suite shower room complete with underfloor heating, and another twin room ideal for adults and children alike. Completing the interior of the property is a family bathroom, with a freestanding bath for those who enjoy a long soak, along with a walk-in shower, double sink and WC. Enjoy your summer mornings with a cup of tea or coffee in the garden; the patio with furniture makes for a delightful space to unwind as the sun comes up promising another beautiful day by the sea. There are many things to see and do right on the doorstep of Newtons Cove Retreat. The stunning Newton’s Cove can be reached via a short stroll and offers wonderful views across the bay and over to Portland Harbour. The Nothe Fort is a great family attraction and is made up of three levels, encompassing a museum of the fort’s history, café, gift shop, and excellent 360 degree views across the harbour along with the beautiful Nothe Gardens of the peninsula. Why not take a wander into the town centre and while away the hours exploring the high street shops and small boutiques in search for that special keepsake to take back home, before treating yourself to a delicious ice cream from one of the many ice cream parlours, or maybe even fresh fish and chips from a beach kiosk. For days out with the younger members of the group, visit Weymouth Sealife Adventure Park, home to the only colony of Fairy Penguins in the UK, while Splash Zone slightly further afield provides you with an action-packed way to cool off in the summer sun for all ages. Discover the Lodmoor Country Park where you can wander around nature as you dry off before heading back to the townhouse. However you choose to spend your time whilst holidaying in delightful Dorset, Newtons Cove Retreat is perfect for a quiet retreat or an action packed holiday, at any time of year.

Situated at the heart of Weymouth harbour in Dorset is Brewers Quay Harbour, a Grade II listed complex complete with shops, pubs and restaurants for a fantastic trip to this stunning coastal area. The area is known for its Victorian brewery and buildings that date back to the late 1800s and early 1900s. The area is popular among tourists for its thriving culture and tucked away down the side streets you will find an array of Tudor buildings, while the Weymouth Museum is nearby and makes for a fascinating attraction.

    The house has been refurbished to a very high standard. Couldn't fault anything. Yes the double bed on the first floor is very firm but we knew this from previous reviews so took a mattress topper and it was fine. Two parking spaces was invaluable. Highly recommend

  • Alan

    Immaculate, very new, clean. Both main dbl **bedrooms 1st & 2nd floor=en-suites, with extra good size twin bedded rooms on both floors. Plus on 1st floor extra large bathroom with stand-alone bath & double shower & groundfloor walk-in dbl shower/Wc. Mid-size **lounge & largish (multi) Tv. Open plan well equipped **Kitchen/Diner with large island/breakfast bar, small (multi) Tv. Patio doors opening onto a reasonable sized **garden with table & chairs. Gr8 designated parking at front & back Gr8 & very convenient for shop/pub & 15mins walk to beach/main town etc. In 5mins you can be at a sea-view/park area, to walk dog. Internet / WiFi was good and fast, 'Multi-use' bin was collected on Monday from its location behind back fence. Unfortunately, No recycling. **Cons: Ideally, the property could be further enhanced with an American style Fridge/Freezer, with ice-maker, in Dining room or Utility area. Sofa's in lounge & kitchen could be improved on, as could mattresses & pillows; but not a deal breaker. There is traffic noise in garden, & nowhere for dog toileting, albeit there is a convenient grass patch out front. However, it's a gr8, lovely property, in an ideal location & would not hesitate to stay there again. The Harrison family. 13June 2024

    The house was clean and tidy. The high spec kitchen is very well equipped. The high tech oven defeated us - maybe some instructions would be helpful. The living room seats only 5 people - possibly a problem as the house sleeps 8. The downstairs loo was out of order as was the WiFi - we reported both issues. The bathroom upstairs was very high spec and the en suite loos were great. The beds are not the most comfortable and we had to buy new pillows whilst we were there as the quality was rather poor. The garden had plenty of seats to sit in for 8 people. Being a dog friendly property was a great bonus for us as we like to bring our dog.
