The Old Post Office
Description
The Old Post Office is a charming holiday home situated in Weymouth, Dorset, welcoming one well-behaved dog, this delightful retreat is perfect for families or friends seeking a memorable coastal escape. Step inside to a welcoming hallway, where green panelled walls and stylish artwork immediately set a tone of character and comfort. Here, guests can shed coats and shoes, feeling the gentle transition from the outside world to a thoughtfully curated retreat. Moving through, the kitchen/diner becomes the heart of the home—a space designed for gathering and sharing. Navy fixtures and stylish hanging lights add a touch of sophistication, while the brown leather bench and sofa seating invite you to linger over leisurely breakfasts or lively evening meals. The window to the hallway keeps the space bright and connected, and the open layout encourages conversation to flow naturally from dining to relaxing, echoing the easy rhythm of coastal living. The sitting room, illuminated by a generous bay window, is filled with space and light. Appealing colour schemes and carefully chosen furnishings create an inviting setting for unwinding after a day by the sea. Sink into the sofa and lose yourself in a favourite film or series on the Smart TV, as the gentle glow of the room and the artwork on the walls add warmth and personality throughout. A sleek, stylish shower room on the ground floor offers a large walk-in shower and heated towel rail—perfect for refreshing after coastal adventures. Upstairs, the landing opens to a quiet study area with a desk, ideal for writing postcards or planning the next day’s outings. On the first floor, a king-size bed—raised for a touch of distinction—anchors a bedroom where a decorative fireplace and soft textures promise restful nights. The twin bedroom, with its green panelled wall, a sofa, and a walk-in shower tucked discreetly behind the door, offers both style and practicality. A small walk-in wardrobe and bay windows at the front add to the sense of space and light.
Step outside into the enclosed garden, where a patio and comfortable furniture invite you to linger over al fresco meals or simply bask in the Dorset sunshine. As the day fades, the garden becomes a tranquil retreat—listen to the distant call of gulls, feel the warmth of the sun on your skin, and let the salty breeze carry your cares away. Venture a short distance from the Old Post Office to discover the scenic Weymouth Harbour. It's the perfect place to enjoy a waterfront stroll, admire the yachts, and perhaps treat yourself to a day out on one of the many boat trips on offer. Enhance your coastal escape with a visit to Nothe Fort; soak up the historical intrigue of this Victorian fortification whilst appreciating the panoramic views of the surrounding, unspoilt coastlines. Extend your historical outing to the nearby Portland Castle; its grandeur and legacy from the reign of Henry VIII is not to be missed. With a wealth of eateries, shops, and coastal charm on your doorstep, the Old Post Office serves as your homely and convenient retreat in the heart of Weymouth's wonders.

What guests are saying
The accommodation had comfortable beds and lounge area.
It was in a good location for us. Parking is difficult as it’s on the road and it’s very busy around there. The is no microwave but an enormous fridge freezer. There was not one empty cupboard to actually put any food in. A washing up bowl would be very useful to save wasting do much water. It could benefit from some basic maintenance..the radiator on the top floor and in the kitchen didn’t work and the top floor was not mentioned at all in the listing which is sad as it’s a lovely space. There were quite a few light bulbs not working which was a shame especially as the owners stayed in it the week before us. Most of the paintwork could do with a refresh. There was almost zero storage in the master bedroom as the wardrobes in there were full of spare bedding so unusable. The instructions for the rubbish were difficult to follow. I didn’t like having to strip the beds at the end either - surely this is part of the rental charge. All in all we had a lovely week and would stay again but done small improvements would make it fabulous!
Great location , lovely well proportioned house.
Plenty of room for 4. Kitchen is well stocked. Property is getting a little tired decor especially in bathroom is in need of a refresher. Could also do with a deep clean. Although it was very clean on the surface.
The accommodation was ideal not far from town it was lovely and clean and it was like home from home
