About this property
Accessed via steps, this comfortable semi-detached holiday home is set quietly in the seaside village of Osmington Mills.
Perfect for families enjoying outdoors, large and well-furnished 3-star holiday home is surrounded by a wonderful countryside for you to explore and is located just a few meters away from the South West Coast path.
With three large bright bedrooms sleeping up to seven guests, with a large living space there will be plenty of room to relax and socialise. The living room has a pool table and a selection of board games to occupy your evenings. There are few books if you wish to have a read with wonderful views right from the sofa.
Take the benefit of the large country style garden where you can spend all day basking in the sun or playing with your children and pets. If you wish, you may sit on the decked area just in front of the property too.
Osmington village is only a mile away where you can buy fresh products from a small farm shop. The closest shop is in Preston or Weymouth with quite a selection of supermarkets and small independent shops where you can load up for the whole holiday.
Osmington Mills is a wonderful location to discover Dorset. Take a short walk from the property and relax in the village pub ‘The Smugglers’. The pub is pet friendly and has an outdoor seating area. The food is good, and you are not far off the small stony beach ideal for rock pooling. Nearby is a horse-riding centre.
Osmington village, is situated on the Jurassic coastline of Dorset, just 6 miles from Weymouth wher you will find an glorious beach and historic harbour and just 11 miles from Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door. Home to the famous Chalk hillside carving of George III on horseback, cut into the hillside to commemorate the Royal visits to Weymouth, this landmark can be seen from miles away. It is also the place that John Constable spent his honeymoon in 1816 and where he completed his painting of Weymouth Bay that now hangs in the National Gallery. The South West Coastal path runs through Osmington Mills, a tiny hamlet on the edge of Osmington. Here many walkers start their coast path walks at the Smugglers inn, where reputedly there are historic connections to smuggling. Be sure to visit to find out all the stories. A short drive will see you reach a local convenience store at Preston. Weymouth offers a larger variety of shopping, eating and entertainment choices.

The property is in need of a bit of TLC and is quite tired in places, the rear garden would be great if made secure, the current fencing is inadequate if you have an inquisitive dog. Steps up to the rear garden are quite treacherous when wet and so is the driveway, found it to be very slippery after a shower of rain. But an excellent place to explore the local beaches and footpaths, and a great pub on the doorstep.

The location is brilliant and both visits we enjoyed every minute.For some constructive criticism there are a few minor things that could be improved.The whistling of the plumbing when the toilet is flushed can wake the whole household up if itâs pressed in the middle of the night.The two beds in the first bedroom not particularly comfy and the entrance to the garden area was so overgrown we had to trim some foliage back ourselves to access it..There is an area of decking that sticks up by the gravel area.which one of the kids bashed their toes on last year which was still the same this year and once again somebody kicked their toe on it.Iâm a window cleaner and I could tell the windows hadnât been cleaned since we were there last year.The upstairs bedroom can get unbelievably warm and muggy in the night so it would be a nice touch to provide a fan or two.All these things could be resolved with very minimal outlay and a competent handyman in no time.On the whole the property is great though and we hugely enjoyed our stay there.

The views from Watersons are stunning, either from the big bay window in the lounge or from the decking at the side of the house. If you like bird watching you see some amazing birds too, we had a woodpecker right next to the windowsill. The cottage has everything you could need, in the kitchen thereâs plenty of fridge/freezer space and is well stocked with utensils etc. The rest of the house has lots of thoughtful extras and the pool table is an added bonus. The bedrooms were all spacious and our beds were comfortable. We were told as soon as the house was ready by the kind house keeper so we could get in earlier than expected and it was all lovely and clean. Thereâs a big driveway and big garden so itâs perfect for dogs, ours didnât want to leave. The location is just a minute from the Smugglers Inn and the coastal path and itâs a great location for exploring the surrounding areas by car too. Thank you so much for a great holiday in your cottage.
