About this property
Nestled in the village of Preston, a quaint settlement resting near the edge of the impressive Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, lies this delightful, two-bedroom holiday bungalow, The Willows. With parking, an enclosed rear garden, and well-presented interiors finished to a high standard, this charming property welcomes a family of four or a group of couples looking to experience a relaxing, self-catered escape just a short distance from the beautiful Dorset coastline. Step inside your new lodgings and be greeted by a variety of tastefully-appointed living areas. In the kitchen, the chosen chef will find all the appliances they'll need to rustle up a delicious, home-cooked meal that you and your loved ones can savour at the breakfast bar, or even alfresco on the outdoor table and chairs in the rear garden. In the evening, retreat to a well-furnished sitting room, where you can enjoy a film or your favourite television series on the stylish, wall-mounted Smart TV. When it's time for bed, refresh with a soothing shower before you finally retire for a well-earned rest in either a plush double or twin bedroom. After you've finished your morning coffee in the back garden whilst soaking in views of the surrounding hills, be sure to head out and explore what your local area has to offer. A walk into Preston will bring you to Appleby's SPAR, where you can refill on essentials, whilst a cold, crisp pint awaits at the Bridge Inn, which also serves traditional pub fare for when you fancy taking a break from cooking one evening. For a day out, make the brief car trip north to the Osmington White Horse, a historical landmark carved into a hill that attracts many an eager tourist, before you head back south through Preston and onto the idyllic setting of Bowleaze Cove, a bustling swimming location that also offers visitors a chance to embark on a cliff walk or scour for ancient ruins!
The beautiful beach resort of Weymouth is only one mile away from Preston, a little seaside community with a variety of shops and great pubs. Weymouth has something for everyone thanks to its beautiful, golden beaches, first-rate watersports amenities, and active harbour. Drive a short distance to Portland, a wild island connected to the mainland by Chesil Beach, home to the National Sailing Academy and a stunning stretch of coastline designated as a World Heritage Site. Discover the Roman roadways, fascinating museums, and ruins of Maiden Castle in old Dorchester. Travel down the charming coastal roads and stop at Abbotsburys, a swannery, and subtropical gardens. You may also visit Casterbridge, a 7-mile drive away, written by Thomas Hardy. This is a fantastic spot for a jam-packed vacation because Monkey World and the Jurassic Coast are nearby.

Lots of room for a family with a lovely garden and easy parking. Ideal for me as a minutes walk away from family I come to visit! I would definitely stay there again.

We had a slight issue on the Sunday morning to find the shower drain been blocked and slight flood in bathroom but this was resolved on the Monday. Beds and furniture was comfortable, plenty of towels , tea coffee etc was a welcomed sight due to our very late arrival on the Saturday night. Peaceful area, but ideally located for the main road to various lovely places which we visited several over the week , all amazingly beautiful and some we visited twice. If we decide to visit Weymouth again we would definitely book the "Willows"

The bungalow was clean and had the basic things we needed. It is in an excellent position for a short drive into Weymouth and lots of other popular holiday places
