“Absolutely top draw magnificent”

Kirsten April 2022

“Waters Edge has the most amazing view over Portland harbour that we have ever seen.”

It was relaxing to sit in the comfortable lounge and gaze at the water and look at the ships and sailing boats. We found the property home from home .Everything was in good order and the place was spotless. The sun is in the rear of the property in the afternoon,and the newly decked garden is a real exciting place to sit and read in the sun.The best part for us, a cycling and walking family, was the Rodwell trail.It is wonderful to be so close to this marvellous trail when staying at Waters Edge. The Lidl store at the end of Portland causeway, very near to the property is a great, economical place to shop .Thank you for a wonderful week.

John April 2022

“Very comfortable house in a great position - easy to get to Chesil beach , Weymouth ( either by the Rodwell trail or by bus ) and to all points on Portland.”

We and our dog were lucky to have a sunny week and enjoyed the views over Portland Harbour from a comfortable modern house.

- John, April 2022
Shelley April 2022

“Another amazing week at Waters Edge.”

Spotlessly clean and everything needed is supplied. The newly landscaped garden is perfect. Such good walks in either direction, either walk to Weymouth along the old railway path or in the other direction there is Chesil Beach and Portland. Hardly used the car at all!

- Shelley, April 2022

“There did not appear to be a hair dryer available.”

Also no recycling bins available.

- Judith, December 2021

Thanks for this helpful feedback. I have broached the issue of recycling with Dream Cottages. Property Owner

“Excellent location well equipped and easy access to local amenities and bus routes.”

Had a lovely and peaceful stay.

- Anthony, November 2021
Gordon September 2021

“Water's Edge is a lovely warm, comfortable property.”

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Location instructions and parking simple; plenty of room for a large vehicle. However, some of the kitchen equipment let it down. A milk saucepan, frying pan and roasting pan were well past their sell by date. The condition of these were obviously not picked up by the cleaner’s or the maintenance team. The items were all speedily replaced by the maintenance team when we reported the issue. Likewise the bathroom bath non slip mat was also replaced. We did struggle with the front door lock, using the back door only during our stay. This was noted by the maintenance team but, it appears that it’s security mechanism was a bit too technical for our brains. Overall a lovely property, we will definitely return.

- Gordon, September 2021
Kelly August 2021

“We have just come back from a fantastic week away at Waters Edge.”

Fabulous location and the view from the living room is amazing! The house is in a great location for exploring and we'll equipped with everything you need. A real home from home. The owners have covered all basis. We hope to come back again.

“As a family we understand that cleaning the property is of the upmost importance ...”

As a family we understand that cleaning the property is of the upmost importance however by moving the time to when you can arrive is disheartening 4pm this year and 5pm 2022 this takes away some of your holiday time and with prices increasing quite a lot if not a little unfair to the holiday maker also I must remember to call in for tea coffee and milk before arriving because I presume it is due to covid that the welcome pack has been removed Having said this it still has not stopped us returning in july 2022 S George Derby

- Susan, August 2021

Thanks for this helpful feedback. Yes, unfortunately Dream Cottages have been forced to make the check-in time later to allow for more thorough cleaning during changeovers of guests. Similarly the provision of tea, coffee and milk had to be curtailed due to COVID restrictions. BW Saleem (owner) Property Owner
Bethany July 2021

“Balcony had amazing views over the sea.”

Always something to watch. Beach just round the corner from the house was great for my young son, and Castle Cove beach close by too. Really close to the Chesil and Billy Winter's restaurant was great for our young son again, as on the beach. Highly recommended this property. We had a truly wonderful time. Very lucky with the weather! Only thing I'd say is door locks are really quite stiff and it would be good if we could have recycled our rubbish.

- Bethany, July 2021
Christine June 2021

“The house was lovely and the views from the Lounge and balcony were stunning.”

The back garden definitely needs some TLC and the back door has dropped which made it very difficult to open and lock. We really enjoyed our holiday.

- Christine, June 2021

Thanks for the feedback. We are planning an overhaul of the garden this spring. BW, Saleem (owner) Property Owner
Eileen June 2021

“Water Edge was really nice and the view from the sitting room was fantastic”

- Eileen, June 2021
Anne May 2021

“Great views and walks.”

Property very well presented and very comfortable. Could do with some additional mugs, and the back garden path being upgraded to avoid muddy patches as this is the main access from the car/drive to the property. One broken chair on the balcony also needs to be replaced. Lovely to be able to take two dogs. Hope to stay again.

- Anne, May 2021
Robert May 2021

“Wonderful house along the sea front on the Rodwell Trail with breath taking views of Portland harbour.”

Sitting on the balcony watching the world pass by is bliss. The open layout downstairs is a great improvement making dining an improved experience. The house is an ideal with pub,shop and cafes/restaurants all within easy walking distance.Highly recommend Billy Winters! Small Mouth beach 5 mins walk great for families. We love this area and thoroughly enjoyed our weeks vacation!

- Robert, May 2021
Susan April 2021

“Love this house so much, our 2nd visit, again, thank you for another lovely stay, even better this time with the new refurb spacious dining area with doors opening onto outside with the sea view and more amazing breath taking sea views from the lounge and balcony too.”

Perfect location for coastal walks and visiting places nearby. House is very clean and comfortable and has everything you need. Recommend very highly and hope to return another time.

- Susan, April 2021
Julie August 2020

“Booking was very straightforward and the information about the property was very clear.”

The house was lovely, very clean and comfortable. High quality throughout and very well-equipped. The house is right on the sea front and has fantastic views from the living room balcony. We loved being able to explore the beach straight from the house and watch the world go by along the path and on the sea!

- Julie, August 2020
Nickie August 2020

“Beautiful, well equipped house in a great location.”

- Nickie, August 2020
Tracey July 2020

“Fantastic location overlooking Isle of Portland.”

Well equipped modern house with balcony. Really clean & comfortable. Had an amazing week & would highly recommend.

- Tracey, July 2020
Steve March 2020

“Great location, and excellent accommodation.”

Great views over the harbour from the living, and main bedroom. Only issue is the parking. Theres room for one car in front of the owners garage. Apart from that everything was brilliant.

- Steve, March 2020
Rick February 2020

“The location of this property is superb and the view from the lounge window is a real treat even if it is wet and windy outside (it was February!”

). The house is well set up with everything that you would need and the comfort level is really good. Overall, highly recommended.

- Rick, February 2020
Ian November 2019

“Fabulous position with uninterrupted views of the harbour.”

Right on a disused railway track into Weymouth with the coastal path to the west just across the road so walkers were well served. Attractions nearby included Portland Bill, Abbotsbury, Maiden Castle and Dorchester. Only 9 minutes into the centre of Weymouth with its quay, castle, Nothe Fort and shops and cinema. Great spot for a holiday.

- Ian, November 2019
Kate October 2019

“We wanted a holiday that enabled us to do lots of walking and have a comfortable base, we got both of these things.”

- Kate, October 2019
Gillian October 2019

“The view was lovely, and it was very peaceful because it wasn’t on a road with any passing traffic.”

The furnishings were a good quality and very comfortable.

- Gillian, October 2019
Jayne September 2019

“What an excellent location, it was amazing having the balcony to sit out on and watch the World go by.”

Unfortunately the house is in need of a lot of TLC, especially the en-suite off the main bedroom. I would still recommend people to stay but we were slightly disappointed having paid a lot of money that the spec throughout wasn't of a higher standard, essentially you're paying top money for the view. The house is ideally located to walk in to Weymouth one way, and Portland the other, both about 2 miles. To walk to Weymouth you can take the longer route of the Coastal path, or go straight down the old railway line. There's a great beach bar called Billy Winters about a 10 minute walk across the bridge to Portland, and a superb restaurant called The Crab House Cafe just across the road before you head over the bridge. For dog owners you can get down to the beach opposite the house, and there's a small sandy cove a 2 minute walk round the corner, our dog was in heaven every day! We had an excellent week and really didn't want to leave. Oh and thanks for the welcome gift!

“The whole package of this Holiday Rental is Fantastic.”

. You get the views you get the walks, Highly reccomend Waters Edge. *****

Emma August 2019

“A few electrical items needed attention.”

1. The first floor toilet light flickered when switched off. 2. The top floor extractor fan in the bathroom came on when the adjacent en suite shower room light was switched on.

Lesley July 2019

“Another fantastic holiday booked with dream cottages”

- Lesley, July 2019
Chris June 2019

“The house was lovely with wonderful views of the harbour.”

Great location for exploring the area. I tried to contact dream cottages to report an intermittently working light pull in the first floor toilet but after waiting 15 minutes for the call to be answered I gave up.

- Chris, June 2019
Roslyn June 2019

“When the weather is cold and wet as last week was the heating was switched off for the summer and there did not appear to be any heating back up.”

As we are senior citizens with serious health issues, sitting about in the cold is not very comfortable or advisable. Also this is the first holiday rental in 30 years where there was no hairdryer, so had to go and purchase a new one!

- Roslyn, June 2019
Karen May 2019

“The location is the number one plus point of this house.”

Water's Edge is ideally located with beautiful views over Portland Harbour ( especially from the balcony) and on the Rodwell Trail which takes you directly into Weymouth (approx 1 hour level walk.) There is also a little inlet with small beach only 2 minutes walk away. These factors made it ideal for us with a dog who loves swimming. It is also a very comfortable and well furnished house. I would highly recommend this property for a great holiday.

- Karen, May 2019
Mrs Nicola Taylor Aug 2018

“This is a well equipped holiday home situated right on the Rodwell Pathway over looking the sea.”

Ideal for those who want a quite holiday but you are close enough to Weymouth either to walk or cycle on the pathway or drive in, we walked the path every day there and back taking in the coastal views along the way. Chesil beach is also close enough to walk to from this property which we did also. Would highly recommend this property. Stayed July 2018.

- Mrs Nicola Taylor, Aug 2018
Mrs Natal Shillito Jun 2018

“Excellent holiday home.”

Brilliant view and excellent facilities. Brilliant holiday home, can't wait to book again. Stayed May 2018

- Mrs Natal Shillito, Jun 2018
Mrs Penny Smith Jan 2018

“Waters Edge was a delightful property to stay in - perfect for our Christmas holiday with the family.”

Well equipped, warm, roomy, good quality furnishings - couldn't have wished for more. The Christmas tree plus chocolates and wine on arrival were a lovely treat and much appreciated by all. Will definitely return – stayed December 2017

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: max 5 people.
