From the owner

The house is a 3 storey 1790s house made of Portland Stone! There is a large front garden (beach view at the front) and an enclosed rear garden too. Parking is free street parking.

Chesil Beach is about 2 minutes walk, where you'll also find a lovely café called Quiddles. The water is super clear and clean, good for swimming (large stones and not sand though).

Downstairs there is a living room with an L-shaped sofa and another large sofa and a armchair. Plenty of comfortable seating in front of a stone fireplace and stove) and a SMART TV with usual channels plus Netflix etc. The area is open planned with small but adequate kitchen area with oven, dishwasher and a breakfast bar and stools for 5 people. This leads out to a utility room with fridge/freezer and washer/dryer and the sink. There is a door leading out to an enclosed grassed garden. There is a pretty cast iron table and chairs, a table with 2 benches and sun loungers. The front garden has a comfy seating area and also a large picnic bench.

The first floor has a bathroom with walk in shower (and great view to Chesil Beach!) and two bedrooms. The Portland stone is revealed on one wall in the first bedroom; both rooms are light and airy and dare I say superbly styled... :-)

The second floor has a further 2 bedrooms both of which have one wall revealing the Portland stone and again carefully designed. Each of the four bedrooms have hanging space, mirrors and drawers. A hairdryer is supplied and towels (not for the beach though please) for each guest.

There is organic shampoo, body wash, conditioner, Ecover hand wash & washing up liquid for guests to use. The bedding is all cotton and anti allergenic. We clean the house at changeovers with largely environmentally friendly products (plus bleach!). Guests are encouraged to contact me directly with any questions: we hope that we can make it a great experience for our guests.

The Cove Inn is a historic pub on the beachfront that serves food. Catch, a fish restaurant in Weymouth recently earned a place in The Michelin Guide!

    A great cottage, very handy for Chesil Beach and Weymouth
    Jul 2021

    A well equipped cottage, just a few yards from Chesil beach and about 4 miles from Weymouth. Helen was a very good hostess, and even let us stay later on our last day.
