About this property

Perched on the outskirts of the seaside village of Preston in Dorset, is this two-bedroom thatched roof stable conversion, The Stables. Enjoying a fantastic location with easy access to the Dorset AONB and a good selection of beautiful beaches, The Stables is a fabulous dwelling for couples or a family of four who are looking for a truly unique getaway to Dorset. Step into the property, where on your left you will find a well-presented double bedroom, served by a gleaming bathroom with a gorgeous freestanding bath, ideal for those long, relaxing soaks after a day of exploring. Continue on to find a well-appointed king-size bedroom with en-suite shower room, perfect for beating those morning queues! Look forward to rustling up hearty meals in the well-equipped kitchen, featuring a washing machine and hatch through to the sitting room so you can continue the conversation as you cook. Savour a delicious meal at the dining table in a light-filled room with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the garden. End the day the right way by gathering your loved ones into the contemporary sitting room to enjoy a family favourite on the TV. Completing the property is a handy garden building, with games room and storage for paddle boards and bikes. Take advantage of your superb location, where just a stone’s throw away, you will find the welcoming Bridge Inn and Spice Ship for when you don’t feel like cooking, well-stocked convenience stores, and the Chalbury Food & Wine shop for picking up your favourite bottle. Wildlife enthusiasts are well-catered for with the nearby RSPB Lodmoor, whilst budding historians can wander up to the fascinating Jordan Hill Roman Temple. The stunning Bowleaze Cove rests nearby and makes for a fabulous bathing and swimming spot, followed by a trip to the fun-fille Fantasy Island Amusement Park. Venture over into the vibrant town of Weymouth, where you will discover the historic delights of the Victorian Note Fort and the grand Sandsfoot Castle, the thriving seafront with its Pleasure Pier, Escape Dungeons, SEA LIFE Centre and Alexandra Gardens and the expansive RSPB Radipole Lake. Portland and Castletown rest nearby where you can make a stop at Portland Castle, visit the sweet animals at Fancy's Farm or follow the South West Coast Path for the sights of Pulpit Rock, Blacknor Fort and George’s Point. There is so much fun to be had with a stay at The Stables.

One mile from Weymouth's famed beach, Preston is a tiny seaside community with a good assortment of shops and fine pubs. Weymouth boasts a wide range of attractions for visitors of all ages, from beautiful beaches to a bustling harbour. Chesil Beach and its National Sailing Academy, part of the magnificent World Heritage Coastline, are just a short drive away from Portland. With its Roman roads, museums, and remains of Maiden Castle, Dorchester is a fascinating place to visit.

    It is a first class cottage with very high standards of facilities and furnishings. We have had another wonderful stay, thank you so much we will book again hopeful next year when we are visiting from Australia.

    The kitchen is very good but so dark even with the under cupboard lighting. Very well stocked and excellent oven, hob, extractor. The cupboards above the worktop were impossible for me to use. I'm 5' 4" hubby was fine at 6' The beds are very low. We do have arthritic knees though. Otherwise the bedrooms were clean and comfortable. The shower in the ensuite was impossible to use unless we squeezed past the door. No one could actually stand in front of the mirrored cabinet because the toilet was in the way. The wardrobe space was excellent, and there are hangers. The main bathroom was brilliant. Shower was powerful. I think a stick on soap dish would be very helpful as some of us still use a bar of soap. A toilet roll holder would be good too. The bath is huge and we wondered with the slow hot water output it actually took to fill. We also emptied the Henry vacuum it was stuffed and stank. We managed to find a replacement bag. The TV needs a subscription for Netflix and Prime TV. The Internet is excellent. We loved the whole layout of the place. Reversing out of the steep driveway into a very busy road was difficult at times. I think a mirror would really help there and reversing in is better. We loved our stay though. Dorset is certainly very beautiful. We even had a thatched roof. We found wonderful restaurants and enjoyed every moment.
