About this property
Subtly hidden away close to the locally well know beauty spot in Weymouth called Bincleaves this detached character property is situated.
A sociable kitchen opens onto a bright dining area / conservatory with an attractive roof terrace. The property benefits from a downstairs bedroom and shower room, so may be ideal for guests who are less able.
A walk across Bincleaves Green along the cliff tops to the Nothe Gardens, then around to the harbour makes for an unforgettable experience. The first floor balcony of the lodge have views that span across from Weymouth Bay and over Weymouth itself where you can see the famous 'White Horse' and 'Hardy's Monument' in the far distance.
The main sandy beach in Weymouth town centre is within a short walking distance, however the less well known but in some ways more attractive beach at Sandsfoot, with its Robinson Crusoe appeal is perhaps the nearest one being roughly an eight minutes' walk away. A short cut through down the footpath directly opposite the property brings you to within a two-minute walk of Hope Square. Here you can enjoy a variety of restaurants, tea rooms and pubs. Heading through the square you will reach the pretty Old Harbour.
A very well presented lodge that offers you a peaceful stay, but within easy distance of all the fun that Weymouth has to offer.
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!

Lots of dust and cobwebs everywhere so clearly hadn't been cleaned properly. Not just talking odd cobwebs, these had clearly built up over several months. Conservatory window frames were very dirty inside. The sofas in the living room need replacing as the seating dipped and just wasn't comfortable. The air vent put on living room wall had a massive hole behind it so wind blew through constantly like a gale. As someone who suffers with arthritis the cold air blowing through and the worn out sofas did not help at all. Such a let down for what could be a stunning property with more care and attention to what I would consider basic needs. You shouldn't have to go round with a long handled duster to clear overhead cobwebs when you arrive ( clearly not being used when property is cleaned!), especially with what is being charged for rental. Dining room table wobbly and the chairs have ground in grime around the wooden frame, not hygienic or acceptable, and the coasters and table mats have clearly seen better days. There was a wet patch at bottom of wall where conservatory joins kitchen, made worse when it rained, which may be a damp issue that needs addressing.Enjoyed holiday but felt let down by basic cleanliness which I would expect to find in a property charging these rates.

A very airy and open property with its conservatory and, outside, patio and first floor decking area to relax and take in the views. The interior is also top notch catering for every requirement most of which has been covered by other reviews. The parking is a fantastic bonus having struggled to park when stopping in other properties in Weymouth (and incurring fines for not quite having my large 4x4 quite within the lines). The thing that really sells it for me is its placement, easy to drive to, friendly neighbours to talk to, opposite a type of village green where friendly dog walkers convene and converse happy to include an outside holiday maker. From there you can walk towards Nothe Fort or take a shortcut through to Brewers Quay and the harbour. Heading in the opposite direction you can take the footpath down to Sandsfoot beach, usually quiet and uncrowded, a favourite amongst the locals. A property where, unusually, you can get to know the locals and learn a little about the community and whatâs happening.

Lovely view from the decking but very open to people walking past on the road outside. The beds were comfortable. However, a 13.5 tog quilt in summer was too hot. The downstairs bedroom is a garage conversion. Lovely views of the flowers in the garden but Wi-Fi didn't work in there. The kitchen is equipped with all you need. Drains in the main bedroom were quite smelly at times. Would be nice to have something in there to put down them to freshen them up. Great that there's parking at the house. A short walk downhill to Brewers Quay. And Newton's cove close by. Had a lovely stay. Would love to return in the future.
