About the home

Tides is a modern well appointed property located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and has the advantage of overlooking the picturesque 2012 Olympic Sailing venue. The house is situated at the beginning of the wonderful promenade that winds around Newtons Cove and on to the Nothe Fort. From Tides you can take a relaxing walk along the promenade or cut through the Nothe Gardens which will take you all of 5 minutes to arrive at Weymouth's Victorian harbour know as 'Brewers Quay'! The property is situated in a quiet sought after location offering ideal family accommodation within close proximity to all that Weymouth has to offer.

Step out of Tides and you are instantly on the coastal path overlooking the fantastic sailing venue for the 2012 Olympic Games. Views of the cove and Nothe gardens from the kitchen and bedrooms 2 & 3 invite you to walk the scenic route or you could just cut through the Nothe gardens and in just minutes you will be in the bustling Brewers Quay area, Weymouth's Victorian harbour with all its shops, tea rooms and restaurants. Or if it's the sandy beach you prefer, then a 10 minute walk from Tides front door will get you there!

This property is a true home from home having the advantage of an excellent level of presentation throughout as well as space on the drive to park two cars and a sunny fully enclosed rear garden.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
Tides is well stocked with DVDs, games, books and puzzles for visitors to enjoy. Satellite TV with SKY Freeview channels. Downstairs in the garage there are three children's bikes (6-12 year olds) with helmets, and two adult bikes - please note that use of bicycles is at tenants risk. There is also a box with a few provisions i.e. tea, coffe, sugar. etc. As well as two bathrooms upstairs there is a guest toilet off the entrance hall..

A baby travel cot, childs step, safety gate and Chico high chair are available at Tides.

Further details outdoors:
From the lounge step outside into a secluded garden, a real sun trap with wooden table and chairs to sit outside and enjoy Weymouth's favourable weather.
An umbrella can be found in the garden shed for those hot summer days.
To the front of the house is the driveway with space for two cars.
Barley Way is a very quite cul-de-sac, with a large green overlooking the sea (2012 Olympic venue) to the side of the house which is ideal for children to run around on and play. There is also a pedestrian bridge down to the cove, so no roads to cross between you and the sea!

Further details

Keys available in 'key safe', details will be provided on full payment. If arriving in dark it is suggested that you have a torch to enter the key code.

Conditions

33% non-refundable deposit at time of booking. Payment in full to be paid one month before arrival. All payments to be made in UK Pounds, by cheque or via direct deposit to owners bank account.

Breakage deposit not payable, as we run the propery on an honesty basis. It is expected that any breakages are immediately notified to the owner and settlement made. Breakages less than £10 pounds will not be charged, but notification should still be made, as it is an inconvenience to the next guest if for example if drinking glasses, etc are missing.

The West Country / Dorset region

As the waves crash against the rocks along the dramatic coastline of Portland, you can see why this forms part of the World Heritage Jurassic Coast. For real peace and tranquility, even at peak season, explore the quarries, coastal path walks as well as the many quiet and secluded coves and beaches. Weymouth, in contrast, is home to a safe clean sheltered family beach with three miles of level promenade, providing access to the beach, Town Centre, Harbour and Country Park.

The Weymouth area

Weymouth and the surrounding area in Dorset provides endless activities. Here are a few examples extracted from the local press:

Weymouth & Portland Sailing Events - Situated on the finest small boat sailing waters in northern Europe, Weymouth & Portland National Sailing Academy has been confirmed as the official venue for the Olympic Sailing events in 2012.

Weymouth Golf course is just 1.3 miles down the road: A beautiful parkland course with views over the Dorset coast and countryside. The feature of Weymouth golf course, which is bound to strike the golfing visitor before any other is the magnificence of its situation. It is situated in the heart of Weymouth town.

“A real 'home from home' in a brilliant location” The house is great - really comfortable, very nicely decorated, light and airy and everything you need for a lovely relaxing holiday (there is a great dvd libary and even bikes and crabbing lines in the garage!). Weymouth harbour, beach and many varied shops, restaurants and entertainments are all within a few minutes walk. There is loads to do and see in and around Weymouth and we would definately recommend it as a brilliant holiday destination and will be back ourselves soon!

“A perfect family holiday home in a great position” This was our second stay at Tides and it was great to be back. It is a very clean, fresh, light and very well equipped house including a lot of thoughtful and generous touches. The garden with a seating area is an extra bonus. It is perfectly situated for both the town and the beach yet it is in a quiet, peaceful location with lovely views just a few hundred yards away. The owner is extremely helpful and makes a great effort to ensure her guests are happy. It's a great place for children (as well as parents, uncles and grandparents!) and the three and a half year old in our group thoroughly enjoyed his second stay, having remembered his first visit a year previously! We thoroughly recommend this delightful holiday home. Response: It's really lovely to have returning guests :) Thank you! Regards Gillian

“Fab House in a Fantastic Location” The owners were very flexible and agreed to let us have Monday instead of Friday as the changeover day. We arrived at the house to find all the comforts of home, except for bath towels, which I'd mistakenly thought would be provided. Other than that hiccup, we found the house to be in a clean, tidy and well-kept condition. It was 5 mins walk (if that!) to Newton's Cove, the Coastal Path and the tranquil Nothe Gardens. And, it was also 5 mins walk to Weymouth town centre! The location couldn't be better! There was a folder in the lounge with clear instructions on how to operate all the gadgets and machines in the house, and I would just say to the owners that adding some practical local information (such as best walking route to town, nearest supermarket) would truly help 1st time guests to Weymouth. All in all, we couldn't fault it and had a great family holiday there. Response: What a great idea! Will definitely write up some 'practical info' for our house file and have it ready for our 2012 guests. Thank you :) Regards Gillian

“We Could Not Have Wished For More” Right from the start dealing with Gillian the owner was a pleasure. We needed a split week and she accommodated us without any problem. As soon as we walked through the front door of the house I... more
