    “A lovely friendly little cottage, very cosy and welcoming, in a beautiful part of Dorset.”

    As soon I got in the front door, I felt at home. Everything you need is here. There was a welcome pack of Dorset tea, Moores biscuits, and chocolate. Pint of fresh milk in the fridge. Also provided were towels, bed linen, toilet paper and washing up liquid. WiFi signal is good; I was happily streaming my music from my NAS server. Personally I don’t drive. I got a taxi from Weymouth station and it was a little over £20 to the cottage. I found I was able to get groceries delivered from ...

    As soon I got in the front door, I felt at home. Everything you need is here. There was a welcome pack of Dorset tea, Moores biscuits, and chocolate. Pint of fresh milk in the fridge. Also provided were towels, bed linen, toilet paper and washing up liquid. WiFi signal is good; I was happily streaming my music from my NAS server. Personally I don’t drive. I got a taxi from Weymouth station and it was a little over £20 to the cottage. I found I was able to get groceries delivered from Amazon Morrisons; you’ll find the address is valid and they will deliver. (This doesn’t apply to Amazon Fresh, apparently). I got my supplies on the first morning after I arrived. I’m mostly about the walking – beach and cliffs. I found the pathway that leads down to Osmington Mills (it’s on the way to Upton Glen), and in 30 mins you can get to the Smugglers Inn and the rocky beach. I also found the location handy for a half-day walking excursion up to White Nothe and back. As it happened my stay coincided with the UK’s fifth heatwave of 2026. Luckily there was a rotating air cooler in the living room. I also enjoyed the wonderful atmosphere of the partial eclipse one evening. Comfy quarters, good night’s sleep, fresh air, silence, and gorgeous scenery. What more could you want? I’m looking forward to making my next booking here in 2027.
