About this property

Situated overlooking Weymouth bay on the Dorset coast lies this beautiful second-floor apartment, Beach Retreat. Adjacent to the pebble beach and offering stunning views towards Weymouth and Portland, the apartment sleeps four guests and is ideal for a family or friendly getaway. Reaching the beachfront location with generous on-street parking, you'll work your way up to the elevated terrace where you can relax, rest on the patio furniture, and take in the breath-taking scenery of the coastal town. Entering the apartment into a spacious open-plan kitchen/diner, homing all amenities and plenty of storage, unpack and prepare for your impending adventures. Moving through the property, you'll reach a bright and homestyle sitting room with a woodburning stove, TV, and plenty of seating to unwind and take in the sea views. Travelling through to the bedrooms, you'll have the choice between two well-presented double rooms, one with an en-suite shower, along with close access to the main bathroom. Resting in the sought-after, tranquil end of Weymouth and within walking distance to shops, pubs and restaurants, there are many local waterfront attractions and exciting activities to fit into your holiday itinerary. Set shoreside, there are an abundance of stunning coves and beaches to visit, including the peaceful surroundings of Eweleaze Beach, the highly recommended Bowleaze Cove, and the sandy shores of Weymouth. Attracting many families to the local area, child-friendly experiences are expected at SEA LIFE Centre Weymouth, Sandworld Weymouth and its life-size exhibitions, and the remarkable sculpture of Torpedosaur. The peaceful haven of Lodmoor nature reserve and Lodmoor Country Park boasting plenty of walking and cycle routes right on the doorstep, with Pirate Adventure Mini Golf and a Mini Railway nearby. For even more views of the county, head over to Nothe Fort, an ex-military harbour, visit RSPB Radipole Lake nature reserve or discover the trails and park-life of Lodmoor Country Park. Set in a popular holiday destination, choose Beach Retreat as your coastal dwelling.

Weymouth, a prominent seaside resort, is an excellent year-round vacation spot, with a wide range of things to suit all tastes and ages. The beautiful golden sand beaches offer great facilities for all types of activities, and fishing expeditions depart from the attractive, lively harbour on a regular basis. Portland Harbour and the craggy "Isle" of Portland, joined to Weymouth by the stunning Chesil Beach, are only a short drive away. Only 7 miles away lies Dorchester, the setting for Thomas Hardy's "Casterbridge," or travel along the lovely coastal route to Abbotsbury Swannery and Subtropical Gardens. Alternatively, simply drive down to West Bay and take in the breath-taking vistas of the Dorset Heritage Coastline.

    There were some pages about the property we stayed in, but the majority in the booklet was general advice about the various properties under the same company. It was also disappointing that the washer dryer did not dry, even the smallest loads, and we had to hang our washing on the backs of chairs. We also had to clean out the filter in the dishwasher, as this had clearly not been done in a long time, and was dirtying the dishes. The outside rubbish bins were full enough that they could not be closed when we arrived, which was an eyesore and created a smell in the hot weather, and they were not emptied at all during the week, meaning we couldn't dispose of our own rubbish from the kitchen bin. We are mobile adults and our child is 8, but I think it needs mentioning that the property would not be suitable for anyone with mobility issues, and would be a challenge for anyone with small children, due to the several stairs leading to the property. It was not accurate to state that there is 'ample' on-street parking as well as the paid sealife parking. We consistently had to park several minutes away from the property. Due to the size of the sink in the ensuite, a wall mounted handsoap dispenser would be more useful than trying to balance soap on a tiny ledge.
