Overview
Property code: DC078

A charming little retreat for two sitting within the pretty coastal village of Preston, well-appointed to discover Weymouth and the picturesque Jurassic Coast with all its attractions.

Sitting just outside of the coastal town of Weymouth, this ancient stone and cob cottage is ideally located. Hidden from the main road by trees, you can enjoy privacy whilst having easy access to local shops (100 yards) and pubs (500 yards). Offering a wonderful holiday experience for solo travellers and couples hoping for a romantic break, spend your days uncovering the wealth of things to do nearby and return to your cosy hideaway.

Head down the outside steps and let your holiday begin. Benefiting from lots of room, there is plenty of space to move about and settle in. After a long-day sightseeing, the lounge will be a favourite spot for unwinding. Light the wood burner for extra comfort and turn on the TV for a documentary or show. With handsome period features, the lounge has a charming authenticity as well as inherent cosiness. Stepping into the generously-sized kitchen, you will find everything you could need and more for hearty breakfasts and refuelling dinners. Take your meals alfresco in the garden or sit around the lounge’s dining table. As well as comfortable living areas, the ground floor also houses the bathroom. Here, there is a bath with shower overhead and WC. Up the open tread stairs, the you will find the bedroom. Featuring reduced height in the eaves, low windows, period features and a double bed, the bedroom oozes charm. Outside the garden with steps has a sloping lawn and lends itself well to summer afternoons in the sunshine with the addition of an outhouse with washing machine and freezer.

Exploring the local area, you will be spoilt for things to do, especially in Weymouth itself.

This cottage may be small but it's very comfortable, it may be on a main road but it's very quiet. It is also wonderfully placed for visiting everywhere from Swanage in the east to Lyme Regis in the west and the lovely places inland like Sherborne. It has small grocery shops, nice pubs and two fish and chip shops on its doorstep and is within a shoRead morert distance of walks and beaches. We've stayed here twice now and love it - we will definitely be back. Hide

Nice place to stay for one or two people. No garden gate and on a busy road so dog owners be aware. Handy for all tourist areas. Warm and clean. Well equipped. Firm mattress. Steep stairs to bedroom. Steps to cottage door. Ok if mobility is good.

For a couple and their dog, this fits the bill. It's an ideal location for exploring Dorset. Whilst a car is needed for exploring the coast and inland towns, the nearest beach at Bowleaze Cove is just a 20mins walk away, via Church road. The Springhead gastropub at nearby Sutton Poyntz is excellent, a 25mins walk. There are lots of trekking opportuRead morenities in the surrounding hills, as well as along the local coastline. It is a pleasant two mile walk along the beach from Bowleaze to Weymouth. Hide

We enjoyed a week at Honeypot cottage. The small garden gets plenty sunshine and although there is some noise from the road it is lovely to sit in and feels very private. The sofa was very comfortable and although the stairs to the bedroom are steep the room was spacious.

We had a lovely 3 night stay at Honeypot Cottage. The house was extremely clean, well equipped with all necessary facilities and it was very quaint and cosy (especially with the fire lit)- a perfect size for two. This was our first time in Dorset so weren't familiar with the area- there is not much in Preston itself but we found it a good base fromRead more which to explore both East and West Dorset as it's conveniently situated between a lot of places of interest and is a short drive into Weymouth.
