Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently describe the property as clean, well-presented, and immaculate, with pristine bedding and towels, contributing to a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
The property is commended for its great location, being quiet yet within easy reach of Weymouth's centre and local amenities, making it an ideal base for exploring Dorset.
The property is generally found to be comfortable, with cosy beds and a spacious garden. However, some guests mention the lack of a king-size bed and the need for additional accessibility features.
The property is well-equipped, but guests suggest improvements such as additional kitchenware, a mop, and safety features like handrails and non-slip mats. Some also noted issues with shower facilities and steps.
While guests mention thoughtful touches like garden lighting and comprehensive appliance information, there is no mention of gifts, so it is not possible to assess this category.
About this property
Nestled in the village of Preston, a quaint settlement resting near the edge of the impressive Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, lies this delightful, two-bedroom holiday bungalow, The Willows. With parking, an enclosed rear garden, and well-presented interiors finished to a high standard, this charming property welcomes a family of four or a group of couples looking to experience a relaxing, self-catered escape just a short distance from the beautiful Dorset coastline. Step inside your new lodgings and be greeted by a variety of tastefully-appointed living areas. In the kitchen, the chosen chef will find all the appliances they'll need to rustle up a delicious, home-cooked meal that you and your loved ones can savour at the breakfast bar, or even alfresco on the outdoor table and chairs in the rear garden. In the evening, retreat to a well-furnished sitting room, where you can enjoy a film or your favourite television series on the stylish, wall-mounted Smart TV. When it's time for bed, refresh with a soothing shower before you finally retire for a well-earned rest in either a plush double or twin bedroom. After you've finished your morning coffee in the back garden whilst soaking in views of the surrounding hills, be sure to head out and explore what your local area has to offer. A walk into Preston will bring you to Appleby's SPAR, where you can refill on essentials, whilst a cold, crisp pint awaits at the Bridge Inn, which also serves traditional pub fare for when you fancy taking a break from cooking one evening. For a day out, make the brief car trip north to the Osmington White Horse, a historical landmark carved into a hill that attracts many an eager tourist, before you head back south through Preston and onto the idyllic setting of Bowleaze Cove, a bustling swimming location that also offers visitors a chance to embark on a cliff walk or scour for ancient ruins!
The beautiful beach resort of Weymouth is only one mile away from Preston, a little seaside community with a variety of shops and great pubs. Weymouth has something for everyone thanks to its beautiful, golden beaches, first-rate watersports amenities, and active harbour. Drive a short distance to Portland, a wild island connected to the mainland by Chesil Beach, home to the National Sailing Academy and a stunning stretch of coastline designated as a World Heritage Site. Discover the Roman roadways, fascinating museums, and ruins of Maiden Castle in old Dorchester. Travel down the charming coastal roads and stop at Abbotsburys, a swannery, and subtropical gardens. You may also visit Casterbridge, a 7-mile drive away, written by Thomas Hardy. This is a fantastic spot for a jam-packed vacation because Monkey World and the Jurassic Coast are nearby.

Back steps into garden which was lovely would benefit from tape at the edge of each step as also a hazard. Shower head needs replacing goes all over the place luckily rain head ok otherwise would have gone out and bought a replacement. Only small things but still need sorting would revisit as had a good holiday good weather and loved Weymouth!

Location is ideal lots of amenities local. Just a small point regarding the taps in the kitchen I was stood for a while stumped for a moment as to why I couldnât get hot water in the kitchen only to realise that the hot and cold tap are on the wrong way round and the cold tap was in fact hot water. Maybe a little note/sign just to avoid confusion would be helpful. If youâre a couple or small family looking for a home from home visit to Weymouth this is definitely a good property for you. Thank you for a lovely stay.
