About this property

Arranged over two floors The Old Post Office is a clever conversion of an original building now presented as a Dorset cottage. With a feature spiral staircase leading to the bedroom and bathroom on the first floor, the ground floor living area has a spacious open plan feel to it. The Old Post Office provides parking for two cars and a little outside patio area where you can enjoy al fresco meals at any time of the day.

Located just five minutes' walk to Hope Square, with its numerous restaurants, bistros, pubs and coffee shops The Old Post Office is in the perfect location for a self-catering Dorset holiday. The beautiful old harbour is just a minute through Hope Square. A leisurely walk along the harbour and across the bridge will take you to the town centre where you will find all the usual high street shops and in the narrow streets the local quirky shops worth browsing in. On the edge of town is the aware-winning main beach with its golden sands and shallow waters. Close to the property you will discover Newtons Cove, a pretty pebble beach area favoured by locals and children alike who love to explore the rock pools when the tide is out and The Nothe Gardens great for a picnic on a sunny day or for enjoying a costal walk with amazing views over to Portland.

A comfortable and cosy property, perfect for two, and located where you can easily walk to all the local attractions makes The Old Post Office the perfect holiday property in which to enjoy a well-earned holiday.

The ever popular resort of Weymouth makes an outstanding year-round holiday destination, with a wide variety of attractions on offer, appealing to all tastes and ages. The glorious golden sandy beach with its shallow waters provide excellent facilities for all kinds of watersports, whilst from the picturesque, bustling harbour you can take regular fishing trips. A short drive takes you to Portland Harbour, and the rugged “Isle” of Portland, linked to Weymouth by the dramatic Chesil Beach. Visit Dorchester, Thomas Hardy’s “Casterbridge”, only 7 miles away, or take a journey along the scenic coastal road and call in at Abbotsbury Swannery and Subtropical Gardens. Alternatively, just head down to West Bay - the views of the stunning Dorset Heritage Coastline are not to be missed!

    The property itself is clean and tidy and serves its purpose. It has all the facilities you need for a comfortable stay with the bonus of off road parking. It is a pity that the owner has decided to take it off the rental market from 2025 onwards as I have enjoyed all my stays there over the past 5+ years, up to two per year. Looking forward to returning again in November for the final time.

    Good value for money, very spacious ,parking space and short walk to harbour and town is a bonus. Good do with a bit of modernisation and few improvements to make it perfect. Could do with curtains in the bedroom and lounge back door for privacy. Shower awkwardly placed and no shelves or hooks. A small dishwasher would also be a plus. Upstairs radiators both need air bleeding out as never really got warm so wouldn't like to be there when it's cold

  • Keith

    Fine for 2 adults but only suitable for 4 if they are young family. Absolutely no way 2 cars could park on the parking apron...not big enough and tight entrance for my Skoda estate. Best shower in any property rented through Sykes in over 10 years. Stairs need caution edging strip..would be difficult for visually impaired. Why provide cheap toilet paper...false economy your renters just double it up and use twice as much!
