About this property
This cosy cottage just a short stroll from Weymouth’s old harbour, the perfect couples retreat.
This converted stable offers a cosy and warm sitting room diner, where you can escape from it all.
The modern kitchen has everything you need to cook a delicious meal, but if you would rather go out for dinner, you are just a few moments-walk from Hope Square where you can find several restaurants and bars that offer lovely food.
Perfectly located you will find lots of breath taking views and walks.
Newton’s cove it just 3 minutes-walk away and offers views over to Portland and beyond. Follow the foot path through the Nothe Gardens which will lead you to the fort, where the mature trees frame lots of beautiful sea views.
The harbour area is perfect for an alfresco drink or dinner, watch the yachts and fishing boats sail by.
If you should wish to venture further afield there are plenty of things to see, catch the ferry to Portland and explore around the Castle, view the boats at the National Sailing academy or ramble out and explore the South West Coast path which starts just a few minutes-walk from the front door.
Goliath is the perfect get away for a solo traveller or couple.
Brewers Quay is the old Victorian brewery situated at the 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. This area is now a popular destination with many restaurants, café and bars, creating a vibrant culture, where you can relax with a drink and watch the world go by. Tucked away down the harbourside streets, you will find original Tudor harbour buildings, estimated to have been built in 1600 and well worth a visit, with a very interesting history to share. You will also find the Weymouth Museum, with some incredible exhibitions, and the harbour is also home to the lifting bridge, where you can watch the luxury yachts head out to sea, and then walk over the bridge to the town's winding streets of boutique shops and the seafront esplanade and beach. There is more to this seaside town than meets the eye; Brewers Quay is a much-loved holiday destination in Weymouth!

Andrew
The kitchen is well equipped with all the utensils needed. The cottage was spotlessly clean & the welcome pack was much appreciated. We enjoyed our stay so much that we have already booked the same property for Christmas next year. Couple of things to mention - the shower Matt was not very clean and the parking bay was a bit cluttered with 3 bins only one of which for Goliath - parking bay could do with line painting on the floor to clearly mark out each parking space as at times the car in the next space was very close to our parking bay probably due the materials left in the parking area. Kind regards Andrew & Kim

Sofa is a bit small and not too comfy but was OK for a weeks stay. Other than that couldn't fault it.

Only a small property but well thought out but being tall the bathroom can be a bit of a problem but just remember to watch your head. The kitchen has all equipment you require and the lounge has plenty of space for a couple and a dog to sit in comfort also the bedroom was large enough and a comfortable bed
