Mutiny House
Description
Mutiny House is located directly adjacent to the pretty picturesque old harbour at Weymouth, and close to the Brewers Quay.
It is a stone's throw from the popular Weymouth beach and town centre. The property is a very good base to explore the area and surrounding Dorset Coast.
Accommodating up to seven guests in four bedrooms of which two boast having en-suites. Accessed from the landing is a cloakroom and there’s a separate bathroom on the ground floor for your convenience.
Being in the comfort of your armchair relax and watch the hustle and bustling scene of the Old Harbour with fishing boats and yachts passing under the old town bridge.
Nearby in Hope Square you will find a selection of restaurants, cafes and tea rooms. The main sandy beach with its shallow waters is within easy walking distance or you may fancy taking the charming row boat ferry across the harbour to the beach directly.
As the coast always look a bit different from water, there are quite a few options for a boat cruise. Explore the area by visiting the Isle of Portland popular with rock climbers, water sports enthusiasts and birdwatchers. At the top of Portland is the popular Portland Bill lighthouse and Pulpit Rock. Venture further East and you will be amazed by a stunning Durdle Door arch and Lulworth Cove.
Weymouth’s town centre with its variety of high street shops are just a short walk along the harbour and over the town bridge. Within a five-minute walk you can reach wonderful Newton's Cove, a small sheltered beauty spot with rock pools ideal for children to explore and the adjacent Nothe Fort gardens; the perfect location for morning stroll and don’t forget to pack a picnic.
Mutiny house is a comfortable holiday home for all to enjoy with harbour views from the property.

What guests are saying
The property is a little outdated and could do with some modernisation.
Saying that it has everything you need and the views are amazing . Right in the heart of the harbour and walking distance to everything you could need .
The bathroom downstairs is not fit for purpose.
No proper shower in it. The cutlery was grubby, but the rest of the house was fine.
We have been staying at Mutiny House since 2013 and have always appreciated the facilities and the fabulous location.
However the property is getting tired and in need of a thorough overhaul. The decor is dated, the furniture and carpets are in need of a good clean and the bedding is grubby and stained when the covers are removed. Some of the kitchen utensils were broken and there were no sharp kitchen knives to prepare food. There seemed to be maintenance issues as the upstairs landing light flickered on and off in the evenings. In addition, the plumbing was noisy, particularly in the upstairs toilet and the drain in the ensuite downstairs shower room was slow draining. The reported addition of a shower in the downstairs bathroom was eagerly awaited, but turned out to be a hand held device fixed to the tap with no means of securing it to the wall and no shower screen. Disappointing. Downstairs guests still took it in turns to use the shower in the main bedroom. Overall, we love the house as it is excellent for multi-generational parties such as ours and the support received from the local office is brilliant. However, the property needs a bit of TLC to bring it into the 21st century.
