About this property

Boasting an open-plan living space, off-road parking and close access to the local amenities, Pump Lodge provides the perfect romantic escape for a couple in Dorset. Cross the threshold into your new home-from-home ready to kick back and relax on the plush sofa in front of the TV, as your other half gets to grips with a superb range of appliances in the kitchen; after whipping up a tasty feast, settle down at the intimate dining table for two and tuck in, or if the weather permits, take advantage of a lovely garden to savour an alfresco affair. If you begin to feel sleepy, retreat to a ground-floor bathroom and indulge in a long soak before completing your routine and heading to the first floor, where a charming mezzanine-style double bedroom awaits. In the morning, begin your adventures along the coastline, where you’ll can relax upon Chesil Beach, admire a range of flora and fauna at Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens or immerse yourself in history at Sandsfoot Castle. In Weymouth, discover Weymouth Museum, Nothe Fort, Weymouth Pavilion and the SEA LIFE Centre, in addition to an impressive array of pubs, shops, restaurants and cafés. Spend the day in Dorchester, home to the Dorset Museum, Kingston Maurward Animal Park and Gardens and the National Trust site and former home to Thomas Hardy, Max Gate. Make everlasting memories in Dorset, with a stay at Pump Lodge.

About four miles north of Weymouth, nestled beneath the Dorset Ridgeway, is the charming village of Upwey. It gets its name from the nearby shallow chalk brook, the River Wey, which emerges from an underground spring. George III once looked for the health advantages of the natural spring water at Upwey's Wishing Well. It is presently a charming tea shop that serves lunch and classic cream teas. Many pathways connect the settlement with miles of pristine countryside, and Dorchester, Thomas Hardy's "Casterbridge," is a nearby market town. Weymouth, a well-known seaside town with beautiful golden sand beaches, top-notch watersports facilities, and a bustling harbour, is accessible by bus or simple drive. A charming village setting that is the perfect getaway from the stress of daily life.
