The house is generous with three bedrooms for up to six people, plus one well-behaved dog. Dating from the 1820s Safe Harbour has a narrow front door and staircase, which people with mobility difficulties need to be aware of. There is a large kitchen on the ground floor with a dining area with additional cosy seating which overlooks the harbour.

The first floor has a lounge has harbour views and one en-suite bedroom. Located on the second floor are two bedrooms and the family bathroom. There is a small step leading into the property and two steps lead from the kitchen to the courtyard. There are an additional two steps from the courtyard to a separate annexe with laundry room and shower room.

Car parking on the harbourside is limited to one hour but on arrival and departure, vehicles can park directly outside the house to unload and load luggage.

As well as being excellent for spotting visiting yachts from all over the world, the harbour still has a flotilla of fishing boats going about their daily work, with so much activity there is always something of interest going on at the harbour.

Brewers Quay and Hope Square are just around the corner and offering numerous restaurants, cafes, and pubs. Newton's Cove, favoured by locals, is ideal for rock pooling or walking a dog, and only a two-minute walk away. From there, coastal walks around Nothe Gardens take you to the old fort and back to the harbour. At the Stone Pier there is a beautiful view of the beach and Esplanade where you can stop and have refreshments at the cafe.

Weymouth’s award-winning sandy beach is ideal for building sand castles and bathing, with traditional seaside entertainment such as Punch and Judy, donkey rides and trampolines. The surrounding waters are perfect for water sports including sailing, wind surfing, scuba diving as well as fishing from land and sea. Crabbing from the harbourside is a popular pursuit whatever your age.

This thriving area called Brewers Quay is the old Victorian brewery situated right at the very heart of the harbour, in Weymouth, Dorset.

Now a popular destination with many restaurant’s café and bars making it a vibrant location where you can relax with a drink and watch the world go by. Tucked in the harbourside streets here you will find original Tudor harbour buildings estimated to have built 1600 and well worth a visit, with a very interesting history to share. You will also find the Weymouth Museum, with some incredible facts and artefacts, there is more to this seaside town than meets the eye.
