- for your info, not for publication). Home Waters is in a fantastic location and your listing and holiday home were as usual the super high standard that we have experienced over more than a decade of booking with Dream Cottages.

“The photograph really does not do this cottage justice.”

There are amazing views from the property across the bay to Portland and it is just a few yards from the Rodwell Trail and water's edge. The property is warm and comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only minor concern was the very limited parking; just one small space which was not always easy to access. We would definitely recommend the property and would stay there again.

“A lovely, clean, well equipped house right by the sea.”

We've had a wonderful stay in Home Waters and would highly recommend this holiday rental. Everything we needed was on hand and even the weather was on our side! We honestly can't think of one thing we'd change about this property....even the WiFi was good! Thank you for the perfect Dorset holiday, Jay & Gina, Suffolk

“The fridge was not cold enough and I didn't know how to turn it up.”

The freezer was fine. In the fridge we got mould on our margarine. Otherwise a very handy location for a holiday

“Easy booking, lots of information about key handover and safety.”

The cottage was well equipped and perfect for what we wanted.

Mrs Abnett July 2020

“We had a fantastic week.”

Very cosy and suited us well. The only thing was the double bed mattress was very uncomfortable. One side of the bed was certainly lower than the other.

- Mrs Abnett, July 2020

Thank you for your valuable feedback and glad you had a wonderful stay. The owner has taken your comments on board and has ordered a new mattress for the double bed. Owner relations

“Fantastic setting”

Brilliant setting right on top of Portland Harbour, close to so many activities, walks or just to sit in the sun. Many choices of places to eat out or take away who deliver to the door. House is great, clean and pet friendly. Garden is very secure even for my little chihuahua, no stair gate to stop dogs going upstairs which would have helped. Some shade from an umbrella or such would have been useful. House well decorated excepted the sitting room, plain and chairs not comfortable or well set out. Saying this we would go back again.

“Home Waters is a comfortable modern cottage in a quiet location with excellent links to both Weymouth and Portland with buses every 10 minutes.”

The sea is just 50 metres away with the Rodwell Trail following the coast towards Weymouth. This was ideal for us with our dog together with a local shop just 5 minutes walk away. Stayed July 2016

“We spent a fantastic time in this excellent property.”

House and garden were in top condition, clean, well organised and ready to use when we arrrived. The neighbourhood was calm and there wasn´t any traffic noise from the street. We were impressed of the short way to the sea. Best regards from Germany. Karl Stayed September 2015

The property

Home Waters is located in a quiet location on the edge of Portland Harbour at Ferrybridge, the southerly tip of Weymouth.

Situated close to Smallmouth Bay with its small sandy beach this three bedroom house provides the base location for your family holiday.

Enjoy playing games with each other on the Playstation or watching a movie together in the cosy sitting room or enjoy the fresh air sitting outside in the patio area.

Take a drive or bus ride over to Portland and visit Portland Bill lighthouse, maybe grabbing a spot of lunch at The Lobster Pot.

Portland offers a rugged charm with cliff top walks, wildlife and the wonderful Chesil beach to comb and look for a few lost treasures.

Weymouth town centre with a host of shops, restaurants, attractions and the main beach with its golden sands is a pleasant 30 minutes' walk away along the 'Rodwell Trail', an old converted railway line or around an eight minutes' drive/bus journey away. A short walk along the coast will take you to hidden away Sandsfoot beach which is an ideal alternative to the more commercialised town centre beach.

The surrounding waters, which welcome the very best of the world's waters sports enthusiasts were where the sailing Olympic events were held in 2012. Home Waters makes for a comfortable family holiday home with the benefit of parking and a landscaped patio garden in an ideal coastal location.

About the location

WYKE REGIS

Weymouth 2 miles; Dorchester 9 miles.

Wyke Regis is village on the south western side of Weymouth that sits on the northern edges of Portland harbour and reaches as far as the back of Chesil beach and The Fleet. 2 miles from the centre of Weymouth. There are local shops, cafés and restaurants including The famous Crab House café, with it’s own Oyster beds on the doorstep. The National Sailing school, an Olympic legacy, offers a wide variety of water sports and is just 2 miles away on the edge of Portland harbour. The Fleet lagoon that runs between Wyke Regis and Chesil beach is an important area for wildlife and there are many species of birds to be seen in the area. Chesil beach is also a renowned spot for fishing. The Fleet is probably most famous for being the testing ground for Barnes Wallis’s bouncing bomb, immortalised in the film the Dam Busters. Wyke Regis is the perfect location from which to explore many of Dorset’s most iconic locations on the Jurassic coast.
