“The location of this property will be hard to beat.”

It was a 2 and a half minute walk to a secluded quiet beach that we often had to ourselves. The property was well equipped especially the kitchen. There were plenty of cleaning resources left for us to use. I would request that the owners look at the ventilation in the bathroom, there is a lot of black mould which should really be cleaned away between guests. Additionally if we didn't leave the extractor fan on and windows open the bathroom had a strong smell of damp. Finally I do not agree ...

Additionally if we didn't leave the extractor fan on and windows open the bathroom had a strong smell of damp. Finally I do not agree with asking guests to strip the beds when they leave. Overall a good place to stay, if the above were amended we would consider staying again. Good value for money.

“Absolutely love this property, our granddaughter loved the games cupboard and we brought our dog for the first time to experience the cove which she loved.”

The house was lovely and clean, the issue with the bin not being emptied and the upstairs sink not draining properly were quickly rectified. The only issue we had was the blind in the lounge and the front bedroom not opening properly but otherwise a perfect stay. We will definitely be re-booking for next year.

- Linda, August 2025
Annette July 2025

“Lovely place.”

Ideally situated for our needs. We cycled on the Rodwell trail and across causeway to Portland marina. Would definitely stay again. Just a pity couldn't eat evening meals in garden because next was feeding the seagulls every day!

- Annette, July 2025
Maureen July 2025

“Home Waters is a lovely holiday cottage.”

The cottage had all that you needed and more. It was in a lovely location close to Weymouth and Chesil beach, fantastic walks and little hidden beaches to find. The only complaint I have was the cottage could have done with a good spring clean. It was very dusty, had to wipe things over, both of the bannisters was very sticky and dirty, not nice to touch. The wardrobe in the main bedroom had not been cleaned or dusted in sometime. I had to wipe the rail before hanging our cloths up. So consequently had to spend the first hour and a half, having to clean before starting my holiday. I couldn t get the dishwasher to work, not sure if it was the dishwasher or me!

- Maureen, July 2025

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, it is very much appreciated. It is great to see that you enjoyed the cottage and its location. I am sorry that you felt the cleanliness of the cottage was not up to your expectations, we take our cleaning standards very seriously and will feed this back to the relevant team. I hope this does not deter you from staying at Home Waters or using Sykes Cottages again. Thanks again for your feedback Dream Cottages Property Owner
Royston June 2025

“We really enjoyed our stay the house was well situated.”

The only things that needed looking at was the chairs outside 2 were broken when we arrived. I also think something really needs doing about the bins as because there is no recycling the bins filled up very quickly and there was not enough room in the big bin outside I feel that the big bin needed to be emptied every week to save the bin bags being attacked by the seagulls. We really loved the little cove just around the corner which was nice and warm. We enjoyed our stay very much and would come back again

- Royston, June 2025

Thank you for leaving your valuable feedback. We're glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for reporting the garden chairs, these have now been repaired and replaced. The bins at this property are taken at every check-out which is usually weekly, however as your booking was a 14 night stay, our system unfortunately does not flag a mid-stay collection, we do apologise for this and we are developing a better system to ensure no missed waste collections for longer bookings. We'd love to welcome you back to Home Waters again! Best wishes, Dream Cottages Property Owner

“We had a super stay at Home Waters.”

Very Pleased.

- Roger, May 2025
Kate April 2025

“A lovely, well equipped house located in a quiet position close to the Ferry Bridge in Wyke Regis.”

We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay for our family of five plus our dog.

- Kate, April 2025
Emily October 2024

“My dog and I had a lovely time at Home Waters in early October.”

Not sure how the previous reviewer had such a hard time with the keybox. I'm cackhanded with those sorts of things at the best of times, and I found it very easy to use! The house itself was very clean and tidy. The kitchen is well equipped without being cluttered, which is nice. Nice big fridge/freezer. Warm and comfy living room with a Smart TV, which was great for catching up with Disney+/Netflix/iPlayer etc. Wifi was faultless. Bedroom and bathroom were also clean and comfortable. Nice modern bathroom with great water pressure. And you can see the sea from all three bedrooms! A very quiet, pleasant area to stay in. Don't be put off by the fact that it's a housing estate - I hardly knew the neighbours were there and I felt safe and relaxed walking my dog in the local area. Having the Rodwell trail right next door was great for my nervy dog who doesn't like cars. She also enjoyed exploring Smallmouth beach - what a lovely feature to have nearby. We used the house as a base to walk the Rodwell trail, on Portland and at Dorchester and liked it so much I have already re-booked for May 2025. Can't wait to be back by the sea!

Sandra September 2024

“We enjoyed our time at home waters very nice cottage.”

Only downside was the hob which is really difficult to use .A handrail in the bath would be helpful even though you provide a non slip mat when you are older it would feel safer on entering and exciting the shower . The key safe outside is a joke .On arrival it took us a good 15 mins to get in .We have the exact same one and ours works perfect .We couldn’t get it to open to put keys inside when we left .That is why they were just left inside it we had been trying to get it open for ages just small things didn’t spoil our holiday though.

- Sandra, September 2024
Linda September 2024

“Second visit to Home Waters.”

Such a convenient location, the path to Weymouth, the little beach. Comfortable house, well fitted kitchen. Just lovely

- Linda, September 2024
Megan September 2024

“Lovely home from home with good facilities.”

Plenty of kitchen utensils and all working well. Thank you for letting us stay.

- Megan, September 2024
Laura August 2024

“Lovely comfortable house.”

Very well equipped with lots of crockery and utensils. The garden is lovely, just a shame we didn't have the weather to enjoy it fully! The location is very quiet with a small sandy beach within walking distance. The beach is ideal for children and dogs are allowed all year round. Perfect location for both Portland and Weymouth.

- Laura, August 2024
John July 2024

“Wow, fantastic property, great location, would recommend to anyone”

- John, July 2024
David June 2024

“Lovely house - so comfortable, clean, easy access, parking great, walks with the dog excellent, garden well maintained, with excellent patio area.”

Maybe a sun Parasol would be useful but apart from that small point we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

- David, June 2024
Julie May 2024

“Excellent property!”

No complaints but as I am a bit wobbly a grab rail in the shower would have been useful. Wonderful location. We had a perfect holiday and the weather was amazing - sunshine nearly all the time. Thank you very much.

- Julie, May 2024
Donna April 2024

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely little house.”

Everything that has been mentioned negatively in past reviews has been addressed so please ignore if you are wondering if to book. Everything was comfortable and clean with a well resourced kitchen. We were initially worried it may not be quiet being on an estate but there was no trouble with any noise. The house is on the door of the Rodwell Trail into Weymouth and next to the bridge over to Portland so is ideal if you like walking. There is a bus into town every 15 mins if you do not. We have been to Wyke Regis before and we will definitely be returning!

- Donna, April 2024
Andrea March 2024

“Great location with a very nice garden that our dog enjoyed.”

Very well equipped and well maintained both inside and out. Will definitely return in the future.

- Andrea, March 2024

Thank you for positive feedback. We're so glad you enjoyed your stay in Weymouth and we look forward to welcoming you back to Home Waters in the future. Property Owner
Carl December 2023

“Great location between Weymouth and Portland giving easy access to both and beyond.”

The property itself was clean, well equipped and overall comfortable although the mattress in the main bedroom may need replacing, it felt as though the edge was starting to collapse. The kitchen had everything we could have needed, the bedrooms were spacious and all had wardrobes, the bathroom was nice, although, the toilet flush mentioned in earlier reviews doesn't seem to have been fixed but we worked it out and there was always the downstairs toilet. All-in-all a really nice property, we would definitely recommend and stay again if we were to come to revsit Weymouth.

- Carl, December 2023

Thank you for your positive comments. We have taken some time over the winter to replace the toilet in the upstairs bathroom to resolve the flushing problems. We hope to see you back at Home Waters soon. Property Owner
Linda September 2023

“Very comfortable house, kitchen very well equipped- wish all the properties over the years via different companies had been similarly equipped.”

Great location, wore our own groove in the Rodwell trail. Enjoyed the cafe and the castle cove beach just along down the road from it. Visited various other places along the coast. The statues on Portland, shame the area hadn’t been strimmed around so overgrown, nice walk up to the nature reserve. Visited the Portland Museum learnt things about Marie Stokes, very clever lady. Was at the Crabshack on the very windy evening. The wind gives us a push in the back going home. Most enjoyable holiday - thank you

- Linda, September 2023
Jane August 2023

“This is my second visit to Home Waters The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you need.”

The only thing missing is somewhere to put recycling. It's in a beautiful & perfect location for my visit & I'm sure I'll be back. Thank you for our lovely stay for my sons wedding

- Jane, August 2023
Stephen July 2023

“We loved the accomodation and the situation of the house near to the sea.”

We would have liked to have had more spare toilet rolls on arrival and the toilet roll holder was a bit of a hazard, not being fixed to the wall. An extra sheet would have stopped the duvet slipping off in the middle of the night and an extra set of keys would have been useful. Other than that though, we were very satisfied with our accomodation and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

- Stephen, July 2023
Chris June 2023

“Lovely property in a great location.”

Would definitely book again in the future, just a couple of minor points that would make futures stays more enjoyable. The TV is quite small for a living room a bigger one would be great. No recycling facilities ( seperate bin required), we made a trip to portland recycling facility to dispose of some but was unable to do this more than once.

- Chris, June 2023
Fraser June 2023

“Lovely house,lovely positioned,very cool in the heat of the day,no problems most relaxing and quiet could def.”

recommend it to anyone and car parking at the door.

- Fraser, June 2023
Tracy April 2023

“This was our 2nd time here and we are booked already for September.”

The only negative things are: upstairs toilet doesn't flush v well which can be embarrassing; more choice of pillows needed - all too soft; and would be great to have an indoor bin specifically for recycling so that we can put in the car and take to portland recycling centre. We use big bags for life so no biggie but might help others.

- Tracy, April 2023
Jacki April 2023

“Great place, love it there, been there four times now.”

Perfect for oldies, perfect for grown up kids, perfect for grandchildren and perfect for dogs. Only thing I can moan about is the down stairs toilet smelt a bit of wee, but that could be a man problem!!?

- Jacki, April 2023

Thank you for your review . It's great you hear that you and your family have returned to Home-Waters so many times. We're sorry to hear the comments about the downstairs washroom. We have raised this with our cleaning supervisor and we hope that everything is clean and fresh for your next visit. Property Owner
Dan March 2023

“A fantastic, well-equipped property - perfect for a family - and in a quiet, great location.”

It has everything you could need: from kitchen utensils, dishwasher and plates; to kids toys, board games and local information. The back gate was great for getting bikes in and out. Around the corner from a lovely little beach, and practically on the bike trail into town. Thank you for a great stay - we can't wait to come back!

- Dan, March 2023

Thank you for your comments. We love the bike-friendly trails in and around Weymouth too. We hope to welcome you back to Home-Waters soon. Property Owner
Tracy January 2023

“Lovely accommodation.”

Booked our return holiday already. The only minor negative comments would be: Clean under the cushions under the sofas occasionally; and It would be nice to have salt/pepper and foil for using oven trays. But the best Sykes accommodation yet. Thank you. T

- Tracy, January 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed your stay at Home Waters and we look forward to welcoming you back to Weymouth soon. We have raised the issues with our Cleaning Supervisor and replenished the kitchen stocks. Property Owner
Gina December 2022

“Cannot fault it.”

Lovely, comfortable, everything on the doorstep. Only downside is no dishwasher tablets but hand washing I'm used to lol. Lovely place and area.

- Gina, December 2022
Lynsey October 2022

“2nd stay at this great property, really liked the improvements to outside with extra parking and the decking at the rear.”

Really well equipped house in a brilliant location. One area of improvement would be a bigger TV in the lounge and put the second TV in the main bedroom.

- Lynsey, October 2022
Heather October 2022

“The property could do with a bigger television.”

It was very difficult to watch it in comfort and almost impossible to read.

- Heather, October 2022
David September 2022

“This is a very clean cottage just a few yards from the coast where there is immediate access to the causeway of Portland island, and to a tarmac path (disused railway) into Weymouth centre via a delightful 2-mile walk along an old railway line (well cared for) with a Mon-Sat cafe half way along.”

However, a real disappointment was the lack of any recycling facilities in the cottage, and we finished up bringing all our recyclable materials home with us - a situation which would have been so easy to resolve, especially these days. We had to report to the agents Dream Cottages that the central heating appeared not to function, that the cooker main switch was loose on the wall, and that the Henry hoover appeared either to be very full or required a scented additive to control the 'pong' when in use. The bath still awaits a safety handle and a slip mat. But overall, a very enjoyable holiday in a very useful location.

- David, September 2022
Linda August 2022

“The house was generally lovely and in a great location.”

Unfortunately there were a few issues which I feel needs to be addressed The mattress in the single bed room needs to be replaced as it has no support in the middle and our 7 year old granddaughter found it uncomfortable. The hot tap handle in the kitchen needs to be adjusted. We also found the internet connection was poor and the connection to the tv was also poor especially in the evenings when the tv continuously froze. On arrival we found the downstairs flooring was filthy and needed a good clean and the house would benefit from a larger dustbin especially as we were a family of 5 and were unable to recycle our rubbish.

- Linda, August 2022
Helen July 2022

“Lovely property so close to the water’s edge, just gorgeous.”

Clean and contemporary - thoroughly enjoyed our stay, thank you

- Helen, July 2022
Sam July 2022

“We will definitely book Hone Waters again - the house was well equipped with absolutely everything we would need and was immaculately clean throughout.”

It has clearly been refurbished / redecorated too. It is a really good location that is handy for the beach and also the Rodwell Trail into Weymouth. We highly recommend this house!

- Sam, July 2022
Clare June 2022

“We can’t recommend Home Waters enough!”

The location is absolutely superb, perfect for the dogs being right on the beach and next to the Rodwell Trail. 40 mins walk to Weymouth or a 10 minute drive and very convenient for many other tourist attractions and walks. The house itself is spacious and airy, the secure back garden was a definite bonus with having the dogs with us and the bedrooms are very comfortable. My mum commented that the bed in the single room wasn’t as comfortable as the twin beds so perhaps that could be changed but other than that our stay was perfect and we can’t wait to come and stay again! My only other comment would be that a little BBQ would be a great addition to the garden if possible

- Clare, June 2022
Glen May 2022

“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

- Glen, May 2022
Marion May 2022

“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.

- Marion, May 2022
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.

- Robert, December 2021
Tracy October 2021

“A lovely welcoming, superbly clean and well equipped house in a super location.”

- Tracy, October 2021
Melanie October 2021

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

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

- Melanie, October 2021
Denise October 2021

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

- Denise, 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

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

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 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.

Note: Parking accessed through arch, 2.3m high x 6m wide. Parking space 2.5m x 5.5m
Note: Guests are required to bring their own cot linen
