About this property
This lovely modern house is located around a mile away from Weymouth’s sandy beach yet enjoys all the quietness and benefit being in the residential street.
This charming self-catering house is perfect for a couple or someone who wants to explore beautiful Dorset coast and countryside as it has one bedroom.
The property is decorated with the owner’s artwork that will inspire you to get outside and see the places for yourself. Well-equipped kitchen with diner will suit your needs to prepare a delicious meal to share over a romantic evening together. In the lounge you may sit, sip some wine and enjoy watching your favourite TV show.
The luxury shower room has a heated mirror to ensure you relax and wind down after an energetic day out. Large king size bed will allow you a good night’s rest.
The outside area is suitable for an evening drink with table and chairs in the front of the property.
The beach is a short 15-minute walk away, offering a detour via the RSPB reserve where you can spot a lot of common Dorset wildlife, but during autumn and winter months you may be treated to more rare sights of migrating birds. The Isle of Portland is famous for birdwatching with one of the lighthouses turned to bird watching observatory.
Explore further than Weymouth and the Isle of Portland, head West and you will reach stunning West Bay cliffs, Golden Cap, Charmouth. Drive East and be amazed by Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove.
Sea Drift is ideally placed for a seaside town holiday with family, and is only a short drive away from nearby towns and villages.
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 'cottage' was lovely and warm, the bed very comfortable. I agree with other comments I have read that a small comfy chair in the living room would be good then one can stretch out on the sofa while the other is also comfortable. We took a canvas camp chair and blanket which was great. In the kitchen I found the microwave a bit too high for safety, we are not all 5' 4" or above!!! The art work was delightful and a great change to ordinary prints.

However, it was perfect for two people staying one week. There were two excellent instruction binders; one for the property and one for the surrounding area. Very helpful. There was everything we needed; we brought our own towels but didnât need them. The oven and microwave proved invaluable as we were not too happy with the restaurants. It was off-season and many were closed. TV and Wifi worked well. A short walk away are Aldi, Sainsburyâs and a Tesco Express. Aldi boasts 8 EV charging points which is useful for those with electric cars. The location is in the middle of a large very quiet housing estate. The building construction was such that we heard the neighbours walking around as the floors and stairs creaked, not a problem unless you are a very light sleeper. Off-street parking was a bonus. Weymouth is not as close as advertised. The nearest part, 20 minute walk, is at the far end of the promenade. It is another 20 minutes walk to get to the shops. The local park, Lodmore Park, is a great place to stroll and not far from there is the RSBP water park. It is an excellent base from which to visit Monkey World, Portland Bill, Chesil Beach, Abbotsbury Sub-tropical gardens, and much more.

Nothing dangerous but a little unsightly. I had more of an issue with the ice box in the fridge which was restricted by a large build up of ice and an ice cube tray stuck to the bottom, reducing its capacity significantly. And even worse was the sizable turd left in the toilet (got rid of with a single flush but why weren't the cleaners capable of such a task). And finally there is the noise from the neighbours. Quiet at night but if you're stuck inside on a rainy day you will not be getting much peace and quiet. On the good side, close to the beach and a great location to get to other points of interest.
