About this property
The White Cottage enjoys a central location in the coastal town of Weymouth, Dorset. This lovely, detached home has four spacious bedrooms, ideal for families and friends searching for a seaside break with much to see and do. Leave your vehicle in an off-road parking space before entering the hallway; here you can kick off your sandy shoes and house your jackets. The sitting room is light and airy with white-washed walls and neutral tones, as well as two sofas to unwind on as the TV does the entertaining. Moving through the property, locate the kitchen/diner which has all the amenities you might need during your stay, including a microwave, a fridge/freezer, a slimline dishwasher, an electric oven, and hob. The kitchen/diner is also a great place to enjoy mealtimes, with a dining table and a breakfast bar to recount the day's adventures. Soak up the rays in the enclosed garden; here you can while away the hours on the bistro dining set with a glass of wine in hand. Please note the garden areas separate to the patio are uneven. As the evening draws to a close, retire inside and opt for a rinse in the ground-floor shower room or venture upstairs to the bathroom, which features a freestanding bath for a moment of relaxation. The ground floor also houses a twin bedroom. The first-floor hosts three delightful bedrooms to rest your head, with a Kingsize and a TV and an ensuite shower room, a further Kingsize, and a triple bedroom, all with bedside cabinets to place a hot chocolate and good book. Begin your day with a home-cooked breakfast and you can make use of the utility room to freshen your clothes. Weymouth Beach is the perfect place to enjoy the stunning views of the Jurassic Coast, with its colourful beach huts and boats bobbing in the water. Take a stroll along the esplanade to Greenhill Gardens in one direction and Weymouth town and Harbour in the other, before heading to The George Bar and Grill for a delicious meal. For a refreshing cup of coffee, head to Suttons Coffee Shop, where you can watch the world go by.

Water pressure is a little low but that was our only grumble. The place is roomy, every bedroom is large, as is the family bathroom. Ensuite in the back bedroom and another shower room downstairs. We loved the luxury bath towels and welcome touches in the kitchen. The owner left us a welcome card an phoned to ensure everything was going to plan. The house is a mile from the beach with a direct pathway straight to the clock tower on the promenade. The totally enclosed garden is ideal for our dog. Would we stay again - YES

There was a nice welcome tray with tea, coffee and biscuits waiting for us on arrival. Milk and juice in the fridge...a generous touch from Joy the owner. The house had everything we needed and all the rooms were a generous size. The garden was good for the grandchildren to play in and well secured. Location was good and within easy walking distance to the beach and promenade.

We had a lovely holiday at The White Cottage. There was plenty of room, the house was nice and clean and well equipped. The location is perfect for the beach about a 10-15 minute walk. There is a garden which was very handy for drying the washing and nice enough to sit in. The kitchen is a good size, we managed to sit all nine of us around the table but there is also a breakfast bar and a couple of stools. The owner popped over to make sure we had everything we needed and gave us her details if there were any problems. We would definitely return as it suited us very well
