About this property
Sailor’s Abode is a beautifully presented holiday home resting on the doorstep of Weymouth’s majestic old harbour and just a stone’s throw away from the stunning Newton’s Cove and surrounding serene Nothe Gardens. This superb, characterful cottage is ideal for a family or group of friends looking for a seaside haven with amenities on the doorstep. Stepping inside the property, be welcomed into the living/dining room where you can settle down and plan your holiday itinerary, before carrying on conversations at the dining table and enjoying a tasty home cooked meal, prepared by the head chef of your party in the well-equipped kitchen. Climbing the stairs to the first floor, you will find a double bedroom, a bunk bedroom housing two sets of bunk beds and a family bathroom with bath, overhead shower, basin and WC. Heading up to the second floor, you will discover a further double bedroom complete with an en-suite shower room with walk-in shower, basin, and WC. The courtyard garden is the perfect spot to sit with your morning cup of tea or coffee whilst soaking in the early morning sun and from here the spiral staircase leads you to a fabulous terrace area where sun loungers await you inviting you to spend a relaxing afternoon. Venturing outside, the attractive harbour leads you over the iconic drawbridge where you can watch the comings and goings of tall ships, yachts and boats passing below, before heading to the beautiful golden beach and enjoying a delicious Dorset ice cream with the sand between your toes and, in the summer months, even taking a refreshing dip in the clear shallow waters. The charming esplanade is lined with bars and restaurants where you can grab a bite to eat on the go or sit down and enjoy a gourmet evening meal, as the twinkling lights of the promenade light up the bay. There are plenty of things to keep the children entertained, from donkey rides, Punch and Judy shows, amusement arcades and fairground rides. Bovington Tank Museum is around 15 miles away and provides a fun-filled day out with history being brought to life with the world’s best collection of tanks and explosive live displays, where you can come face-to-face with over 300 huge military machines, hear about amazing experiences, and take part in interactive games and exhibits. However, you choose to spend your days whilst holidaying on the spectacular Jurassic Coast, Sailor’s Abode is a wonderful home away from home in which to enjoy a truly memorable getaway with your loved ones.

Sadly Hope Square has suffered since Brewers Quay closed and many of the independant Cafes & Bistros that side of the Harbour have now shut down. Brewers Quay is currently under contruction and is a hive of activity covered in scaffolding and workmen of all trades! How long this work will continue is something to look into if you don't like the associated banging and clacking! It is a major development and will take some months I should imagine & could create a not so relaxing vibe on the area! The House itself is beautifully furnished to a high quality in every room. The outside space has been tidied up considerably since our last stay in August but please bear in mind it is tiny & the higher terrace can only be accessed via an extremely awkward spiral staircase and sadly the neighbours have not devloped their areas in a similar way. It is a Beautiful House just a few steps from the Harbour offering every facility for a great Holiday, this was our fourth stay so that really soeaks for itself but just bear in mind the upcoming works a 100 yards away.

Although we were unable to enjoy the outdoor space due to the time of year we visited, we feel a little TLC is definitely needed as it looks rather neglected.

Proper explanation not given re parking pass revoked and pricing of property rental to address the loss of parking pass. Walls in kitchen splattered with what looked like beanz. Cobwebs in lounge and kitchen, dirty marks on carpets ( stairwell, bedrooms). When complaints made to company was advised someone would come the following day to re-clean the cottage, no one did. The actual cleaner came the night of arrival and wiped one of the walls, stating a supervisor would come. Nothing and all after a 4 hour drive. I specifically said no cleaner until next day? I have been to this property for the last 3 years and will not go again. This year was a real shoddy, poor let down by the company and maintenance of the property , including cleanliness. The cost of the holiday was well inflated in relation to standards previously experienced. I suggest both the company and property owner need to get their service provision in order to meet the usually high standards they like to portray. It is entirely up to yourselves if you make my complaint public. As far as I am concerned this is for your information and an opportunity for you to put things right for perspective holiday makers. As stated this year was a total sham and spoiled our holiday.
