  Great views over Sandsfoot to the sea.

  Comfortable sofas and beds. Limited space for 4 adults, better for couples and family with smaller children. Steep stairs to access lounge, kitchen and second set to bathroom and beds. Top to bottom: main bed creaky, second bedroom requiring shuffle past beds, dresser needs repair as draw fronts coming off; bathroom very narrow access to shower and small bath, I couldn't use either. Very loud sink! Creaky stairs which were obviously the same next door as we heard next door often. Nice mirror in bathroom. Thin walls? Heard next door frequently and could hear people and traffic outside even with windows closed. Winerack unstable. Only 2 x 2 seat sofas in lounge, no arm chairs. Dining table squashed into lounge begins one of the sofas. 4 dining chairs with expandable round table. TV freesat works ok. Bt box pretty useless as most of channels not available. Kitchen probably one of the best equipped ever. Oven overhead extractor might need attention. Great balcony overlooking gardens and sea; plastic chairs could do with cushions though. Sun trap in mornings. Narrow car port entrances.. Golf only just fitted leaving littld roomto access vehicle. Better to leave car across the two spaces leaving the path clear. Very busy road for a cul-de-sac. Lots of cars/vans and foot traffic. Popular cafe to edge of gardens with outdoor seating only being dragged out every day (yes, we could hear them). Goodish place to stay. Was it worth the money? Debatable!

  We enjoyed a great Christmas stay at the LOOKOUT.

  Quiet and extremely comfortable - particularly the beds/bedding. Kitchen compact but very well equipped - even a big old carving plate for the Turkey which was unexpected! The view across Sandfoot Park and out to Portland Harbour is a pleasure to wake up to - and the 2 quiet and issolated beaches just a short distance in both directions have already tempted us into another booking in July. Will just have to make sure I don't succmb to a Pasty with my Coffee every morning at the cafe-shack in the park opposite! I never braved parking fully in either of the car ports underneath - just too tight for me! So parked with either my bonnet edged in or on the hardstanding across the front of the 2 arches.

  This house was just perfect.

  Just across a quiet road from the park and literally overlooking the sea. The pictures in the advert really are how it is! Easy to walk into Weymouth or towards Portland, along the Rodway trail which you can join just behind the house. There is a small beach just a few minutes walk down the road. We spent a long weekend here with our two teenage children, on which the weather was not too good so it was lovely to have a great view to look out over from the living room or even on the sheltered balcony when the weather wasn't too bad. The house is very clean, tidy, comfortable and cosy and has everything you could want in it - a home from home. Would definitely stay here again.

  We had a great week at the lookout and enjoyed the location and facilities provided.

  It’s situated a 20 minute walk from Weymouth harbour and a short drive from Portland. Have to say we were a little disappointed to have to clear up some dog mess left behind from a previous tenants pet in the back yard on our arrival. Also, considering one of the main features of this property is the view, I was shocked at the state of the windows in the lounge overlooking Sandsfoot castle and gardens, you could barely see out of them! Luckily I had some car windscreen wipes to hand but it took a good 30 minutes to get them up to an acceptable standard. This is just not acceptable. That said, after our initial cleaning spell, we did have a lovely week!

  The Lookout is a fabulous property.

  Stunning views, nice location, and very clean and tidy. Kitchen and Bathroom were in exceptionally good condition. The sofa's did smell a little musty and in my personal opinion perhaps previous guests dog's have tinkled on the front door carpet which also held an odour. This is understandable considering how popular this accommodation is and rented out. The local cat is also using the rear garden as a giant litter tray. Loved the accommodation, loved the property and wouldn't hesitate in recommending it and also returning in the future. A big thank you to the owners for renting this superb property out and allowing others to enjoy it.
