Guests say
Guests have had a delightful experience at North Harbour House, praising its cleanliness, convenient location near the harbour and beach, and the relaxing hot tub. The property is well-received for its modern amenities and thoughtful touches, such as a welcome basket. While some minor issues were noted, the overall sentiment is highly positive, with many expressing a desire to return.
Reviewers consistently mention that the house is very clean and tidy, indicating high standards of cleanliness that contribute to the overall positive experience.
The property's proximity to the town, harbour, and beach is frequently highlighted as a major advantage, making it an ideal spot for guests looking to explore Weymouth.
Comfort is generally well-regarded, though there are some comments about soft pillows and hot duvets. The house is spacious enough for families, but one review suggests it might feel crowded with six people.
While the reviews are positive about the facilities, including the hot tub and welcome basket, there are minor maintenance issues mentioned, such as a slow-draining shower and a missing frying pan. However, there is not enough consistent detail across reviews to provide a comprehensive score.
The welcome basket and good communication from the property agents are appreciated gestures, showing thoughtfulness. However, it should be noted that such gifts are a kind bonus and may not be a standard offering for every stay.
About this property
This elegant end-of-terrace property, with sea views front and back, sits in the conservation area, just above the Harbour in the heart of Weymouth, Dorset. Dating back to 1860 and set over three floors, North Harbour House provides a delightful abode for a family of six and two dogs, perfectly positioned to take advantage of this popular resort. Step through the front door into the hallway, from which you can turn right into the comfortable lounge, complete with two sofas and a Smart TV, inviting you to settle down and catch up on your favourite shows. Move into the spacious dining room, leading through to the galley-style kitchen where the house chef can whip up something delicious whilst the dining space is set. A rear door leads out of the dining room to the enclosed, private courtyard, dominated by the central hot tub with seating around, perfect for relaxing in after a long day exploring the Jurassic coast. Move to the first floor, home to a generous king-size bedroom and the family bathroom with bath and shower over. Another flight of stairs leads to the king-size and twin, offering stunning elevated views to the harbour, along with neutral furnishings. Head out the door and down the road to the popular Boot Inn, where you can sample a selection of ales within a 14th century interior. Continue further into Weymouth and you’ll be spoilt for choice with a selection of fantastic restaurants and takeaways, ideal for when you fancy treating the group. Head to Newtons Cove, appreciated by locals for its peace and tranquillity, offering great rock pooling opportunities when the tide is out, or take to the sands of the award-winning Weymouth Beach, boasting a sheltered bay with a gradual sloping seabed and idyllic swimming conditions. A gentle stroll away is Weymouth’s historic harbour, where you can enjoy a coffee from the waterside and soak up the atmosphere before venturing into the modern town for an afternoon of shopping. Embark on a scenic wander along the South West Coast Path and continue along to West Bay for stunning views of the Dorset Heritage Coastline. Book North Harbour House and enjoy the best of Weymouth, right on your doorstep.
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.

The location is ok. Not particularly pretty but having the history of the house was a nice touch and helped to appreciate it more. It is a very good location to walk into Weymouth harbour and seafront which we enjoyed most days.

We are a family of 5, with three children (ages 11 -17) and the property was perfect for us. There was plenty of space and it had everything we needed to make it feel like a home away from home. The hot tub was great for relaxing at the end of our fun filled days. The location was great. The harbour and main beach were only a short walk in one direction, whilst there was a lovely little cove we could stroll to in the other. Parking isn't available directly at the property but there is plenty of space nearby and for us this wasn't an issue. Although we didn't meet the owners, we did have contact with them as they got intouch to prior to our holiday to make sure we had all the information we needed and to wish us a happy holiday. They left a lovely welcome basket too. All of this was very much appreciated. We wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend this property.

Few mins walk to the harbour although hilly. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend as so many things in walking distance.
