About this property
Situated in the town centre of Weymouth with beautiful views of the harbour is this contemporary house.
This traditional property, set over 4 floors, is ideal for families to be based in Weymouth.
On the ground floor is the sitting room, heading through with a step down through to the generous kitchen, diner. Ideal to prepare meals which you can then all sit down together and enjoy. With a conservatory leading to the enclosed patio garden. Sit back and unwind in the sitting room where you can admire the town bridge open and close to let the flotilla of yachts and fishing boats into the inner marina, fascinating for young and old alike. If you wish to have some time apart the rooms on different floors give you that chance.
On summer evenings you can buy a glass of wine outside in the nearby attractive Hope Square, on cold winter days you can huddle inside one of the many pubs that offer open fires and a friendly atmosphere. Located in the perfect setting Bridge View offers magic through all the seasons. Nearby you have a choice of good pub food, numerous fish restaurants, Italian styled bistros or high-class restaurants. You can spend some quiet time exploring the nearby Nothe Gardens with panoramic view to Portland harbour. Children will love building sandcastles on Weymouth’s award winning blue flag beach which is around a five minutes' walk and has shallow bathing waters making it a safe place to swim for children. Exploring the rocks at Newton's Cove is a favoured pastime for all and is only a 4 minute walk from the property. Centrally located Bridge View is so well placed that there is no need for a car to access the beach or town. However, if you wish to venture out for a real flavour of rural Dorset, visit one of the picture postcard villages where you will be able to enjoy a traditional Dorset Cream Tea.
This thriving area called Brewers Quay is the old Victorian brewery situated right at the very heart of the harbour, in Weymouth, Dorset. Much of the grade II listed complex and surrounding brewery buildings date from the late 1800 early 1900’s and many have stones inlaid commemorating their construction year. 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. The harbour is home to the lifting bridge where you can watch the luxury yachts head out to sea, and then walk over the bridge into the town with it’s winding streets of boutique shops and onto the seafront Esplanade and beach. Brewers Quay is a much loved location in Weymouth.

We found an old babies bottle under the sofa and empty shower bottle in the bathroom. The garden needs a complete overhaul couldnât let the children out as itâs overgrown. The owner was persistent in coming round to mend showers and put up furniture in the conservatory , surely this should be done during changeover? The upstairs guttering overflows when showering gushing down in to the downstairs window wetting everything thing through .The parking permit had run out in June therefore aquiring a parking fine! The owners answer was to shrug his shoulders and saying that should be thrown away, To summarise ,what could be a fantastic holiday let has been severely let down with a lack of care .

To the point were we needed to clean the cooking facilities which were heavily soiled and unsafe for use. The kitchen surfaces and dining table still had food and sticky patches on from the previous guests. The sofas were dirty and the arms of them were damp/sticky to the touch from were they haven't been cleaned. The bedroom in the basement is covered in mould and we had to wipe the walls on arrival to make it safe enough to sleep in. The garden is overgrown with weeds and not really usable nor an inviting space to go and relax in. Same goes for the conservatory which had not been cleaned for quite some time and isn't furnished as per images. In all the house was covered in webs and dust which had accumulated over months rather than weeks. The house hadn't even had the floors cleaned or carpets hoovered when we checked in. There were old socks, toilet roll holders and other litter stuck to the floor outside which have seemingly been there for some time. The house could be very nice and the location is perfect, but it is in need of decoration and deep cleaning to bring it back to the levels advertised in the brochure. The list is too long to go into, and we have already spent the time to send videos and photos to Dream Cottages. We also spent around 3 hours cleaning the house when we arrived, however we are yet to receive any reply to our complaint.

Could do with an overall bit of TLC by the owner, lick of paint etc, deep clean. Black out blinds in front bedrooms? Regardless to that, we loved the property & had a great holiday.
