4.5 miles from the bustling seaside resort of Weymouth, pack your bags and head to this welcoming barn-conversion for a coastal getaway. Patio doors lead outside from the cosy lounge so you can let the outside in or head outside for an al fresco dinner and a couple of sundowners. Sleeping four across two bedrooms, this home also welcomes a pair of pups so you can adventure your days away with all the family.

 

Step inside and find yourselves in the heart of the home- the open-plan lounge/ kitchen where you can spend plenty of time. Curl up on the sofas and switch on the TV for a relaxing afternoon or enjoy a cosy cup of tea in the mornings with views through the patio doors. When it’s time to feed hungry tummies, the kitchen has all you need to cook up a storm and the fridge has an ice compartment to chill your summer drinks. Come rain or shine, enjoy communal meals which can be plated up at the dining table which comfortably seats all guests, or step down from the lounge and take dishes outside and bask in the last of the sun as you tuck into an al fresco feast. Before bed, soak in the tub in the family bathroom or rinse away the day in the master bedroom en-suite then rest your head in either the double bedroom or the twin bedroom. After rising and shining, kick start your day with an al fresco coffee or warming mug of tea before heading out to explore.

 

For a traditional bucket-and-spade day out, head to Weymouth where designated sections welcome dogs all year round. Paddle in the water, build sandcastles and tuck into fish and chips for a family-friendly trip to the seaside. Perfect for little ones, Monkey World and the Dinosaur Museum are both within 20 miles of home. The iconic sights of Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door are just 19.5 miles away and are well worth a visit when holidaying in the area.

Had a very nice long weekend away over Easter at short notice. Very comfortable and had everything that was needed and more. Loved looking up at the stars once the clouds cleared. Listening to the birds first thing in the morning was pleasant. We would stay here again and probably will as we loved beach scavenging and fossil hunting.

It was pretty much as expected. no major complaints Welcome pack limited. Garden looked much bigger in the photo. Not a problem it just didn't give the dog much space to roam

A spotlessly clean cottage with the very pleasant owners living nearby should any issues arise. Located in a rural location with own rear lawn, and view across fields, own car parking space in front of the cottage entrance. The central heating took the chill of early mornings and evenings making for a very comfortable stay.

We have gone for several years and have always been impressed by the cleanliness of the property. Both Jane and Robert are fantastic hosts and are always on hand for any help or advice. The field behind the property is a wildlife haven and we have seen Deer, Red Kite, Marsh Harrier, Kestrel, Owls and Buzzards. And once or twice the owner Robert hasRead more a plane that he takes off and lands in the field behind. Hide

This is a lovely cosy cottage. Rural but local enough to access Weymouth and other places of interest. Jane was very welcoming and provided tea coffee and milk for us to make a cuppa following our inward bound journey. The cottage had everything needed for a comfortable stay and was furnished to a good standard. Levels of cleanliness was really gooRead mored. Goldfinch had steps to the front access so if mobility is an issue opt for one of the other 2 cottages on site. Hide

This is a compact quiet cottage with a secure small rear garden. There is sufficient off road car parking. One needs to drive to find a place to walk the dog. Location wise it is ideally suited to exploring the south Dorset coastline. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend, without hesitation.
