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

- Mrs Walker, 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.

- Mrs Rockall, October 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!

“Relaxing stay”

Firstly, if arriving by car, don’t unload until someone opens the back door and opens the garden gate to access your vehicle. This will save you the trouble of endless journeys round to the front of the property. The position of the house is great. Next to a little beach that allows dogs and on the Rodwell trail, a converted railway track, which is popular with walkers and cyclists (some a little speedy). The views are magnificent of Portland bay from the lounge and bedroom. The garden is completely enclosed so is safe for children and dogs. The carpets are light colour so best to leave your shoes at the door as you come in. There are 3 toilets and two bathrooms and we did run out of hot water after someone had a bath. You are also mid terrace so need to be mindful of your neighbours if you are a noisy family. The beds were clean and comfortable but we needed extra covers on the single bed for our child as the duvet was too light and too small to tuck in. Perhaps bring an extra blanket with you.

- CookieEmmaT, August 2019
“The whole package of this Holiday Rental is Fantastic.”

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

- Mrs Lane, 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.

- Mrs Tombling, August 2019
“Another fantastic holiday booked with dream cottages”

- Mrs Abbey, July 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.

- Mr Blow, 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!

- Mrs Oakes, June 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.

- Miss Tann, May 2019
“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,
“Excellent holiday home.”

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

- Mrs Natal Shillito,
“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

The property

Water’s Edge is a wonderful three storey modern house lying adjacent to wonderful coastal walks in Weymouth and has direct stunning sea views spanning across towards the Isle of Portland. Set is a quiet location on the edge of Portland Harbour at Ferrybridge, the southerly tip of Weymouth just before causeway leading across to Portland, with a small beach right at your doorstep, it’s a perfect base to enjoy your holiday with friends or family. The property is well equipped with warm elements in the interior throughout.

You can relax either in the first-floor lounge with a balcony with views toward Portland or have a picnic in the garden. Start the day in a modern ground floor kitchen and enjoy breakfast with views to the green garden, or step outside and breath in fresh air.

With quality furnishings throughout, you will have a good night’s sleep and will be ready for daily adventures exploring the area or just basking in the sun.

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

As the property welcomes dogs, you might want to take an invigorating walk along the beach or amble along the ‘Rodwell Trail’, an old railway line which takes you to the town centre.

A couple of miles walk will take you to the array of restaurants, shops, other attractions that Weymouth has to offer as mini golf, Weymouth Skyline, Pavillion shows, cinema.

Weymouth’s golden sandy 3-mile beach is bustling with people in summer, so if you wish to be in a quieter location, Water’s Edge is the perfect choice. Meet the fisherman fishing right from the beach at night, listen to the tales from the locals as they know best when the fish are ready to bite. Explore Dorset and venture along the coast East to find stunning Dudle Door, Lulworth Cove, Kimmeridge bay, Chapman’s Pool.

Take a drive West and be amazed by the red cliffs of West Bay and the tallest South coast cliff of Golden cap. Water’s Edge will suit those looking for a well-equipped holiday home in a quiet 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.
