About this property
A boutique, period home moments from Weymouth's iconic harbour. Upon entering the property, you'll find a well-equipped kitchen, perfect for preparing delicious meals to be enjoyed in the dining room, which easily seats six guests. Brew a fresh coffee courtesy of the coffee maker, bake something delicious in the oven, and enjoy the emerald green fixtures with golden accents that bring a touch of elegance to your culinary experience. Gather around the dining table in a space brought to life by bold colours, a striking feature wall, and a charming mantlepiece, where every meal becomes a moment to savour and share.
After dinner, retire to the sitting room, where you can relax and unwind in front of the Smart TV, providing entertainment for the whole family. Sink into comfort as you take in the warm-toned wooden floor and the light streaming through the bay window, an ideal spot to pause and reflect. Ascend the stairs and you'll find three beautifully presented bedrooms: a king, a double, and a twin, offering flexible sleeping arrangements for all party configurations. One bedroom is styled with calming pink hues, the other features a green feature wall with matching pillows and blankets, creating a cohesive and restful atmosphere, while the twin room is adorned with distinctive copper frames, adding a touch of character and charm.
A convenient first-floor cloakroom with basin and WC adds to the practicality of the layout. For your convenience, there is a ground-floor sleek bathroom featuring a bath with an overhead shower, basin, and WC, as well as a first-floor wet room with a walk-in shower, where slate tiles create a spa-like retreat to wash away the sea salt after a day outdoors, providing ample facilities for all guests. Outside, you will find an enclosed patio complete with furniture, surrounded by lush greenery, creating a serene sun trap where you can enjoy a morning coffee or an evening drink. This outdoor space is perfect for soaking up the sun and enjoying the calm surroundings.
No stay at Otter Cottage is complete without venturing out to explore the local area. A visit to the SEA LIFE Centre Weymouth is an absolute must, offering an underwater adventure where you can marvel at a huge variety of sea creatures. On another day, take a trip back in time at Nothe Fort, home to an intriguing network of underground passages and an impressive collection of military artefacts. For more historical appeal, Portland Castle, one of Henry VIII's finest coastal forts, stands majestically along the seafront, giving an insight into the area's rich past. Whatever activities you choose during your stay, Otter Cottage makes a perfect base to return to each evening.
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. Alternatively, just head down to West Bay - the views of the stunning Dorset Heritage Coastline are not to be missed!
