“Just back from out short midweek break at The Lookout.”

We found the property to be just as described, and could not have been happier with the facilities or the location.

We found the property to be just as described, and could not have been happier with the facilities or the location. Lots of local walks with our cockapoo, just 30 minutes (including sniffing time) to the beach in Weymouth itself , and so many fantastic places to visit within a 30min. car ride. Would love to come back to the area soon, and would be more than happy to return to The Lookout. Thank you for a wonderful break.
Mr Marcus September 2019

“The property was immaculate with a wonderful view.”

Convenient for access into Weymouth with great walking opportunities especially if you have a dog. Alan, Sharon & Priya ( a very happy cockapoo)
Mrs Hegarty August 2019

“The only failing we could mention is that there were no recycling facilities- the local Asda as mentioned only takes paper, foil & juice cartons.”

We had to drive into Weymouth to the local tip twice to recycle. We even took a previous holidaymakers bottles that had been left at the property as they clearly couldn’t recycle theirs either.
Mr Bentley August 2019

“Immaculately kept property with the best view in Weymouth.”

Castle Cove beach is just a 2 minute walk away and was beautiful, quiet and secluded. Absolutely perfect.
Mrs Stibbs July 2019

“The Lookout is ideally suited in both location to the town centre and coastal path heading to Chesil Beach and lower part of Portland.”

We return each year as the property provides the quietness away from the town centre and for the fabulous views of Portland harbor and the park.
Mrs Allen June 2019

“Yet again another fantastic holiday at lookout .”

breakfast on the balcony every morning over looking the lovely gardens . home from home.
Mrs Edwards June 2019

“One of the reasons we rented Lookout was that it had a dishwasher but we soon realised it wasn’t working correctly!”

After consulting the instruction manual we went out & purchased dishwasher salt & rinse aid but this didn’t make it any better. By the second week we had given up on the dishwasher & had reverted to hand washing the dishes etc which we hadn’t really anticipated & found it to be a chore - not what we wanted on holiday! I think the machine needs a service or replacement.

Many thanks for your feedback regarding the dishwasher at Lookout. This was checked and found to be working fully with no problem. For future reference, we do provide a Managed Service to deal with any issues that may arise during your stay. Contact details are provided in the property as we are keen to resolve any problem once informed in order to minimise any impact on your holiday. Owner relations

“Just a couple of things.”

The sliding patio door onto the balcony is extremely stiff to open. Maybe it could do with a bit of grease or something. Also we had one very windy night and the side entrance gate kept blowing and banging open. On inspection the latches are broken/missing andlooks like they have been for a while. This also means anyone could walk to the rear of the property.

Thank you for bringing these items to our attention. The sliding door giving access to the balcony has had the running rails cleaned and lubricated and the side entrance gate has been fitted with a new latch. Owner relations

“Everything went smoothly & easily, very pleased with overall experience.”
Mrs Lesley Abbey

“This was our second holiday at this property it has the most beautiful views in a lovely location during our stay we booked our 2016 holiday here!”

The only thing I think needs something sorted is the rear garden as it is looking a little too overgrown .The staff at Dream Cottages are very helpful if you have any issues they work on it straight away and get things resolved that's why now I only book with this company I'm looking forward to many more holidays with Dream Cottages Stayed July 2015
Mr Ross

“Property very well located .”

Recently refurbished , so nice and pleasant to stay in . Well maintained and clean . We are big fans of Weymouth so even with mixed weather we had a good week . Stayed August 2015
Mr Moore

“Lookout is a fabulous holiday destination with the perfect blend of a quiet location with great views whilst also being the close enough to walk into town.”

With two children (10 and 11) there was more than enough places to explore right on the doorstep and a safe place for them to play right outside the front door. I have been going to Weymouth for over 34 years (since I was a child) and this is up there with one of my favorite places to stay. A great family holiday was had by all, thoroughly recommended. We will be back. Stayed July/August 2015
Mrs Lesley Abbey

“Had yet another wonderful holiday at another of dream cottages lovely properties”
Mrs June Allen

“We stayed at lookout in weymouth last year and was not disappointed this year .”

Mr Wagstaff

“The location was brilliant, the view amazing.”

The gardens across the road were lovely and the café served good quality refreshments and the staff were friendly. The property overall was of a good standard, but it was the view from the balcony and bedroom windows that really made it. Would definitely stay again as loved the location so much.
Mrs Jo Sayers

“We had the best week, weather was excellent for September, shorts and t shirts every day.”

The house met all our expectations. Clean, fresh and tidy.... The view from the balcony is awesome. My husband even got up at 6 am one morning to photograph the sunrise from Sandsfoot Castle. ( we have sent you a photo via Facebook. ) Thank you. See you next year. Stayed September 2016
Mrs Rebecca Hutchinson

“Absolutely loved it at the Lookout.”

The views were amazing, the property itself was fabulous, very well stocked with everything we needed. I don't normally go to the same place twice but I would deffo make an exception with the Lookout. I absolutely loved staying there and would recommend it in a heartbeat. We came away for a break from life as we had suffered a couple of bereavements in the year so we needed somewhere to relax and chill and take our minds off everything, this holiday was just the job. I seriously cannot recommend this property highly enough. Stayed April 2017
Miss Sarah Adams

“We absolutely loved the Lookout.”

The view is stunning and the location great. There is every facility you need and it allowed two pets. We would love to come back next year, it was delightful! It was exceptionally clean on arrival has exceeded standards of other cottages we have used. Thank you. Stayed May 2017
Mrs June Allen

“Super holiday we went in June, it was our third stay at Lookout it's so clean and comfortable it's home from home and this year we had the weather too sitting on the balcony eating our breakfast every morning watching the world go by.”

Can't wait to go back next year. Stayed June 2017
Mr Ross

“Have stayed here before and very happy all round - stayed July 2017”
Miss Kelly Forshaw

Mr Alan Rollason

“Excellent standard, very clean and very well equipped, it was perfect for us and we really liked and appreciated the property.”

The view was amazing too. Location of the property to Weymouth was good for us as we particularly like to walk everywhere (and there is no parking in Weymouth anyway!) and walking the coast path every day was fabulous. Stayed June 2018

The property

Overlooking Portland Harbour, Weymouth Bay, Sandsfoot castle ruins and Green Flag awarded Sandsfoot Gardens, Lookout is ideally placed to ensure you make the most of the views on your Dorset holiday.

This modern Spanish style house has all you need to relax on holiday with friends or with a small family.

Lookout is set over a ground floor, and two upper floors.

It can accommodate up to four guests in two bedrooms, both situated on the second floor with sea views. Step out to the balcony from the sitting room and enjoy views directly to Sandsfoot castle and gardens or spend some time in the patio garden which is equipped with a wooden table and bench to rest your feet. The Jurassic Coastal path is just moments from the house and gives you access to some of the most breath-taking walks.

A short drive away is the National Sailing Academy, the Isle of Portland, Weymouth town, beach and seaside attractions.

A pub and convenience store are within easy walking distance and there is a cafe at Sandsfoot Castle just across the road.

If you want to explore further afield, Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door and Corfe Castle are a short drive to the East, with Chesil Beach, Burton Bradstock, West Bay and Bridport to the West.

All offer unique views and insights in to the gorgeous Jurassic coastline.

In summer take a ride with a double-decked Jurassic coaster bus which will take you through the most iconic places in Dorset from Poole to Axminster in Devon. One of our favourite things about a stay at Lookout is the 'almost secret' sandy beach at the end of the road.

With shallow waters and views over Portland Harbour it's the perfect place to spend the day with the children and dogs playing together.

A fine Weymouth holiday home perfect for couples or a small family.

About the location

CASTLE COVE

Castle Cove is a firm favourite with locals, sitting along side the Rodwell trail area, Castle Cove Beach is usually uncrowded, and offers safe bathing from it’s gently sloping shoreline. There are two main beach areas, Castle Cove, new steps to the beach opened early in 2019, and Sandsfoot beach, both with soft golden sand and the vibe of the best kept secret. Sandsfoot castle is just two minutes’ walk from the beach where you will find castle ruins, pretty award-winning gardens and a small café, offering snacks, drinks and ice-creams. Accessed off Old Castle Road in Weymouth, this area is a real treat for those who want to be away from the buzz and bright lights of the traditional Weymouth Seafront, and yet close enough to venture there when they choose. When you are on the beach you could be forgiven for thinking you are miles from town, and yet you are only a 15-20 minute walk from the old Harbour and access to Weymouth town centre. If you want to know where the locals would recommend you spend your beach days, then Castle Cove and Sandsfoot beaches are it.

This property offers the following short breaks:

Winter
Off-season
Last minute
Christmas
