“We had a really lovely week in Driftwood.”

Great location, very quiet despite its proximity to the sea front, well-equipped and a wonderful, characterful building. The mattresses all felt new and were really, really comfortable. Highly recommended!

Mrs Lomer August 2020

“A quaint home from home.”

Everything you need. Spotlessly clean on arrival. After working in icu for the last few months it was exactly what I needed to re charge my batteries. Location is fantastic walking distance to everything in weymouth. And a drive out to explore this beautiful county. Lovely to come back at the end of they day and chill out in the cottage. Kitchen was modern and more than adequate for our needs Beds were comfortable My daughter loved her room at the top. I can only say thank you so much for an amazing week I was genuinely sad to leave. If I have enough pennies I will be back in a heartbeat.

Mrs Francis August 2020

“With all the issues surrounding Covid 19, the owners of Driftwood had followed government guidelines and the property was clean and safe for our visit.”

We felt very comfortable with all the safety procedures that were in place. It was as always a perfect place to stay! We were able to enjoy going out, as most places had adapted to Covid, using track and trace. In particular the Kiki Beach (formerly The Lazy Lizard) was a great place to go, they are a “taps and tapas” bar offering really tasty tapas, seafood, meat, vegetarian and assorted (a full menu is to follow soon) an of course great cocktails. Worth a visit. Weymouth has adapted very well to the Covid pandemic.

- Mrs Francis, August 2020

“We have been really happy in this proper cottage!”

It adequately met our needs and was extremely handy for all the shops and takeaways. Some of the town was in January hibernation but we found plenty to occupy us. Unfortunatley our stay coincided with with the only cold week of the winter thus far, so necessitating inour having to use the central heating a lot more! Thank you to the owners & Agents.

Mrs Galiver Nov 2015

“'Driftwood' is extremely well located and equipped with everything one might need.”

We were very lucky with the weather so could enjoy Weymouth's splendid beaches etc. Nothe Fort was worth the visit and very interesting with amazing views. We would recommend the Bluefish Café in Portland but may need to book. The mussels were amazing! The best fish and chips in Weymouth was “Seagulls”!!! The cottage is in walking distance to everywhere like the 3 minute walk to the beach. The Galiver family stayed June 2014.

- Mrs Galiver, Nov 2015

The property

Driftwood is a cosy, characterful and charming Grade II listed cottage secreted away in a small terrace, traditionally built in 1835.

It is perfectly located, just a few moments' walk from Weymouth's award winning blue flag golden sandy beach.

Featuring a snug kitchen which is fully equipped with everything you need to prepare your meals.

Unwind in the comfortable sitting room with a nice glass of wine.

The bathroom and master bedroom are situated on the first floor with the second bedroom on the second floor which is accessed via a steep spiral staircase, this staircase may make the twin bedroom less suitable for children under the age of 3 or visitors with limited mobility.

A leisurely stroll away is the lively level esplanade where you can relax on one of the seafront deckchairs or have a refreshing drink in the seafront cafes and bars.

Guests with four legged friends will find plenty of areas of Weymouth beach that welcome dogs all year round and there are many other dog friendly beaches locally.

Why not have a walk by the Marina along to Weymouth harbour or take a boat trip exploring the Jurassic coast.

For the avid birder or twitcher, in the opposite direction, you are moments away from the RSPB Radipole Lake nature reserve and Swannery.

Further afield why not take a drive or the train and explore the historic market town of Dorchester - Dorsets' county town.

Driftwood is an ideal bolthole for a small family that want to explore Weymouth and beyond.
