Tidal Drift is a well-received holiday cottage in Weymouth, Dorset, praised for its cleanliness, comfortable furnishings, and superb location near the sea. Guests have consistently noted the property's well-maintained condition, homely feel, and the convenience of local walks and amenities. The picturesque views from the property, particularly the sea view from the master bedroom, have been a highlight for many visitors.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests have frequently commended the property for its cleanliness, with numerous mentions of its well-kept state. There were a couple of minor points raised, such as cobwebs and an unclean oven tray, but these were exceptions in the overall feedback.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to the sea, scenic views, and accessibility to local attractions. The convenience for both tranquil walks and vibrant beach life in Weymouth has been appreciated by guests.
Comfort is a standout feature, with guests finding the beds and furniture very comfortable. The homely atmosphere and the property's ability to serve as a relaxing retreat have been highlighted.
The property is well-equipped, with a particularly well-stocked kitchen. However, there were suggestions for minor improvements such as the addition of a kitchen clock, tongs, and a fish-slice. The lack of recycling facilities and an outside light were noted.
The thoughtfulness of the owners is evident from the provision of tea, coffee, milk, and biscuits upon arrival, which guests found delightful. However, as not all reviews mention such gifts, and to ensure expectations are managed, it's noted that such gestures, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.
About this property
A lovely and well-presented holiday home resting just moments from the beautiful stetch of sandy beach known as Smallmouth Bay, on the edge of the mesmerising Portland Harbour and Ferrybridge. This truly tranquil setting makes Tidal Drift a wonderful base for a family or group of friends looking for a coastal getaway in the resort of Weymouth in the delightful County of Dorset. Sleeping up to 5 guests, enter the property and gather together in the sitting room where you plan your holiday itinerary or reminisce on the adventures had so far, before flicking on the TV to catch up on your favourite shows. The kitchen diner is equipped with all you need for a self-catering stay and the designated chef of the party can set to work in preparing delicious home cooked meals to be enjoyed at the dining table, overlooking the enclosed garden. Throw open the patio doors and let in the seaside breeze, whilst relaxing on the decking with an enthralling novel, providing peace of mind as the sun sets on another day well spent with your loved ones. The convenience of a cloakroom with a basin and WC completes the ground floor of this accommodation. When night calls, climb the stairs and choose from one of the three bedrooms, comprised of a king-size, twin and single, all served by a delightful shower room with walk-in shower. Portland Bill, a rugged and unique part of the island can be reached within a short car ride and is home to the majestic red and white striped lighthouse which stands at 41 meters tall and plays an important part of ensuring the safety of passing vessels. Walkers and cyclists can delight in the Portland loop of the South West Coast Path which circles around the island mapping out a trail of dramatic cliffs, rare plants and secluded coves, and there is a wide range of activities to participate in such as rock climbing, abseiling, dingy sailing and kite-surfing. A leisurely 30 minutes' walk away along the 'Rodwell Trail', an old converted railway line will lead you to Weymouth town centre where you will find many shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as the award winning golden sandy beach which is is backed by the attractive Georgian esplanade, full to the brim with things to do to keep the while family entertained. Weymouth also hosts a fantastic selection of attractions, including the historic Nothe Fort, fascinating SEA LIFE, and Sandworld. However you chose to spend your days whilst holidaying on the spectacular Jurassic coast, Tidal Drift is a wonderful base from which to explore all that this beautiful town has to offer.
Wyke Regis is a small village which is part of the south western suburbs of Weymouth, on the north shore of Portland Harbour and the south-eastern end of Chesil Beach. The village offers a few local shops, cafés and restaurants, including the popular Crab House café, with its own oyster beds on the doorstep. Chesil Beach is nearby and offers a gorgeous sandy expanse and great fishing opportunities, while the Fleet Lagoon that runs between Wyke Regis and Chesil Beach is an important area for wildlife.

The house is very comfortable and in a quiet cul-de-sac. Very clean and tidy, a real home from home. Great views from the lounge and bedroom of the sea and port. Would highly recommend.

The kitchen is well equipped and we made a few meals whilst staying there. Helpful to have the dishwasher and washing machine. Handy to have the parking space. About half an hour walk to Weymouth along the SWC path. Nice cove close to the property for swimming. Clean and comfortable property.
