“Nice property.”

Its in a great location, 40m from the sea. The property was very clean with good quality fixtures and fittings. Appliances and cooking equipment is very good, with a good sele tion of utensils. Negatives! Just a small one. It could do with a bigger TV in the lounge, however, that's being a bit picky

“It was like home from home.”

I felt I could have lived there felt so at peace. So clean and spacious. Love sitting in garden every evening.

Robert December 2021

“Home Waters came close to being "at least as good as your own home", a target we set many years ago.”

Apart from lots of minor paint damage, the house was very well presented. Once we'd sorted the C.H. controls we soon warmed up after our cold journey from Cornwall. The bed was really comfortable, the flooring throughout was good and the bathroom very well fitted out. The lack of a hairdrier was an inconvenience; everything else we needed for the week came from Tesco. The house was a good 45 min walk from the town centre, but there were also many car parks there. The weather wasn't brilliant - but it was Christmas, so it could have been worse. Each pub we visited was welcoming and dog-friendly. If possible, we plan to return when the weather is better, to see even more of the area.

“Such a lovely place to stay, amazing location.”

Beautiful facilities, lovely new bathroom and kitchen, will we definitely return!

“We had a very relaxing holiday the place was superbly clean and really packed with everything you needed”

- Cynwen, October 2021
Sharon October 2021

“We had a negative start as dirty laundry and rubbish was left in the property , however it had been cleaned and was spotless.”

Dream cottages were really hard to contact which resulting in us having to ring the owner direct. It did get resolved the following morning after arrival. Because of that we initially said we wouldn't book again. By the end of our 4 days there we changed our mind as we were in such a great location and we had a nice time. Was ideal for our set up.

- Sharon, October 2021
Kathryn September 2021

“Excellent location close to Rodwell Trail and Smallmouth Beach - perfect for dog owners.”

We had two days when we didn't use the car at all. We were lucky with sunny weather which meant we could enjoy being out all day and eating outside during the day. We would definitely go back to Home Waters if we were visiting Dorset again. The house and sheltered garden (with sun loungers) met all our needs

- Kathryn, September 2021
Lynda July 2021

“Great house, great location, just a couple of things would have been good, an outside back light, the outside tap to have been working and something on bottom of stairs to stop, dogs and children would have been great.”

but would recommend and hopefully return in the future.

- Lynda, July 2021
Claudina July 2021

“Lovely house within a great location next to the sea.”

The upstairs area and bedding were all very cosy. Cutlery and dishes were of very good quality. Only (minor) negative is flooring in living room looks dated & feels cold, and doesn’t go with the general comfy feel in the house.

- Claudina, July 2021
Richard May 2021

“The property was excellent, well equipped.”

It was a great place to stay as it was really really close to the sea. There was plenty of walking and we only used the car once in the whole week . We walked to Weymouth a couple of times and also walked to Portland. Highly recommended.

- Richard, May 2021
Luke May 2021

“Second time in the holoday house, loved every day of it, so close for the beach the kids loved it, only 10min drive into the town.”

Can't wait to go again next year

- Luke, May 2021
Paula October 2020

“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.”

- Paula, October 2020

Thankyou for your valuable feedback, we are so pleased you loved Home Waters. The Owner has fixed the tricky keysafe. We look forward to welcoming you back soon Property Owner
Julie October 2020

“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.

- Julie, October 2020
Jay September 2020

“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

- Jay, September 2020
Denise September 2020

“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

- Denise, September 2020

Thankyou for your valuable feedback. Since your stay the Owner has in the start of 2021 installed a new kitchen and a new fridge/freezer. Property Owner
Bec August 2020

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

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

- Bec, August 2020
Amanda 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.

- Amanda, 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. Property Owner
Anne November 2019

“Last minute booking so picked this smaller home over a previous town house style we stayed in before in the same area.”

Nice size for a couple, cosy once we switched the heating on. Main bedroom bed was very comfortable plus linen and towels were immaculate and of a good quality. Quiet area which we know well. Only downside was the shower which was powerful but went all over although that certainly wouldn’t put us off booking again if it was available.

- Anne, November 2019
Kirsten June 2019

“Loved the enclosed and secure garden for our small dogs but if you don’t want them to go upstairs a stair gate is needed.”

The house is lovely, well decorated and comfortable except the sitting room. It’s plain, unwelcoming and the chairs are so uncomfortable, far too low even for the fittest of us. We spent a lot of our time in the dining/kitchen area. The back garden is a sun trap but needs some sort of shade - umbrella or covering over the decking.

- Kirsten, June 2019
Angela June 2019

“Excellent accommodation,clean and well equipped.”

Close to a small dog friendly beach ideal for morning needs. On the the Rodwell trail, which is ideal for longer walks. Bus service excellent. Close to beautiful sights of Dorset.

- Angela, June 2019
Ann May 2019

“We had a problem with reception on the TV Dream Homes came round immediately and when they could not fix they got someone else in to do this.”

Excellent service in a lovely holiday home , highly recommended .

- Ann, May 2019
Juliette May 2019

“Television reception is very poor and only BBC channels were able to be watched.”

Overall we were very pleased with the cottage and it was in a great location.

- Juliette, May 2019

Stayed April 2017

- Mr Stuart Clayton, Apr 2017
Mr Roger Whitbread Jul 2016

“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

- Mr Roger Whitbread, Jul 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 minute 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 a 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, just two 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 two 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, whilst 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.
