“The best thing about this cottage is the wonderful views of huge cruise ships docking in the harbour.”

Road parking was always straightforward. The cottage isn't big for 6 especially for adults. the living areas are a bit small particularly the dining room. The garden is splendid (loved by the dog) and outdoor dining is excellent. The kitchen is very well equipped. Good storage. The worst thing was the living room sofas which were very uncomfortable and the wet room with an inadequate or blocked drain which then leaked water into the corridor. Clearer instructions on use of WiFi and heating ...

“Living room was not big enough for a family of 6 and settees were very small and uncomfortable.”

Found the mats on the floor very dangerous, my mom tripped a couple of times on them .(they were everywhere!) The garden had dog poo in it still from the previous people and the garden furniture was too rusty to sit on .All the other garden benches needed a good wipe down before you could sit on them. We did plan on having nights in the garden and bbqs but wasn't possible.,the whole garden was very dirty and uninviting. Our TV in bedroom didn't work so we called the owner the first night and she was very quick to come over to fix it (uninvited and really late)but was made to feel like we had broke it ! She actually called the previous people up to ask them if they'd broke it too !! Wouldn't come back sorry .

“The house is very well equipped and everything was very comfortable.”

One thing was a potato peeler but otherwise an amazingly well equipped kitchen. The only negative was the owner calling us the day after asking why we had disconnected the aerial for the TV in the attic which we had not done and she did not believe us. :( Also there was no signage about the bins being put out so we did not do it. The instructions were in the folder apparently but we did not look in the folder. A sign on the folder saying that there are instructions on there would be helpful.

“Nice house in a great location with everything needed for a comfortable break.”

However the 3 seater sofa was extremely uncomfortable with no padding and you sunk into the frame. We also had to phone and ask for the grass to be cut as it was extremely long and we unable to use the garden and we were told the gardener had been delayed by a week. This was addressed upon request allowing us to enjoy the outside space.

“Excellent location with a view to die for the only criticism is the sofas were uncomfortable”

“Good directions and easy to use lockbox which was great for our late arrival.”

The house was generally clean with a few marks on paint and carpets. It is quite small. There were 4 of us staying here plus a dog and that felt plenty but our children are teens so it would be much better with smaller children. The view and location are great. We had some lovely walks straight onto the Rodwell Trail. The kitchen was very well equipped and there were plenty of plates, glasses and cutlery. A few strange noises when we used the washing machine but it all came out clean. Plenty of hot water. There are a few minor areas that need some attention - the wet room door may need a better seal on it as it did come under it one time, one of the knobs on the cooker top was broken and it is very hot on the top floor and that was when the weather was not that warm. We didn't see a fan up there but then we didn't look in all of the cupboards so there may be one. Comfortable beds and we all slept well. Overall we had a nice break here.

“The house was brilliant, the location was ideal for exploring the local area and being so close to the beach was great for walking the dog.”

The house had everything we could have needed for our stay and the views were amazing. Thank you so much

“Location is fantastic with incredible views over Portland.”

Property is excellent and in very good condition and very well equipped. We had everything we could have needed for our stay. Problem with brand new boiler was resolved very quickly by the owner. Access to Weymouth central and beaches was very easy from this location. Access to local walks and coastal trails also very near. Can thoroughly recommend this property

“Lovely holiday home with beautiful views across the bay to Portland.”

About 10mins drive from Weymouth centre. Would stay here again

“The description of the house is accurate as there a great views across the bay to Portland.”

It was all very clean and comfortable. The long back garden is all enclosed so the dog could potter around without any fear that he could escape. There is a small bay about 5 minutes walk away where we took our elderly dog every evening for a paddle. The location is good for visiting a variety of places in the area or walking on Chesil Beach. It would have been helpful to have instruction booklets for the washing machine, the oven and the heating. We chose to sleep in the attic room which is very attractive and has lovely views over the bay, however we moved to the twin room, as we had it spare, after a couple of nights as the bed was uncomfortable. It slopes from the head to the foot as there appears to be something wrong with the base. We would certainly recommend this house and the location to others.

“Great location and we loved everything about the house and garden except the sofas which were very uncomfortable”

- Mrs Smith, August 2020

We are sorry the sofas were not to your liking/comfort. They are in good condition and there is a selection of different seating available for use. Thank you for your feedback. Property Owner

“On arrival to the house we followed the instructions to sanitize our hands, there was a sanitizer provided inside the front door but it did not work so we used our own.”

We then read the instruction book to make sure we understood the requirements. We then purchased food and looked to unpack, it was then quite late in the day and wanted to get some dinner and children to bed. We did not have any hot water and no instructions on how to use the hot water so had to call the owner to see what was needed, the lady who answered was not at first helpful to assist but we did as she instructed and thanked her for her time and then carried on sorting our unpacking and dinner. An hour later the lady arrived at the door to assist she came with another person who had google'd how to set the timer for the hot water and heating, the fact it was google'd showed that it was not something already documented which was a shame. Whilst the lady was there we pointed out the hand sanitizer did not work and the back inside door did not lock she viewed both and then asked for a window/door man to come the next day. The house was very nice, good location, clean lots of facilities and an exceptional amount of tea/coffee milk, biscuits supplied the only thing letting it down are instructions on how to use things.

“The house was very well equipped & clean.”

The use of space is good & plenty of storage. The views are spectacular & so many walks, beaches, gardens from the doorstep, we only used the car once to go to Portland. Despite the Covid situation we felt very safe. A property we will definitely consider returning to. Many thanks.

“The cottage did really exceed our expectations but just 2 comments.”

I don't feel it necessary to have cushions on dining room chair backs.They were too big and ended putting on floor to sit at table.The garden furniture was in a bad state..The ratan seating was broken on sofa and chairs.The cottage was fabulous on the inside.The picture from the outside does not do it any justice.Quiet and peaceful area.Fabulous views.Lots of free easy parking .Lovely garden.

“A tidy little house in a neat location between Weymouth and Portland, with a cracking view of harbour.”

corner shop is 5min walk as is a little sandy bay that could easily be overlooked and is often less busy than Weymouth. (follow cycle path along old railway until A354). at first glance the street might raise an eyebrow (not a country cottage) but dont be put off, it serves purpose of a base for exploring the area and locals are friendly- we helped an elderly neighbour with her bin.

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.
