About this property
Nestled in the popular destination of Weymouth encased in the lovely surroundings of the Dorset AONB, is this charming four-bedroom holiday home, Family Rest. Benefitting from off-road parking, an enclosed garden and light and airy décor throughout, Family Rest welcomes eight guests, both friends and families alike to relish the ultimate escape to Dorset. After unloading in the off-road parking spot, cross the threshold into your new abode to be impressed by a well-equipped kitchen/diner with all the necessary appliances required in order to make your self-catered stay a success; when you’re ready to tuck in, settle down at the dining table altogether and toast to a fabulous holiday over a bottle of fizz as you plan your itinerary for the days ahead. During balmier evenings, delight in an alfresco affair out in the enclosed garden, basking in your lovely surroundings a little longer. When the stars begin to appear, retreat to a homely sitting room adorned with Smart TV, perfect for snuggling up with loved ones and indulging in a movie marathon. Wash away the day in a spacious shower room, ready to clamber into a sumptuous haven of either a double, ground-floor double, bunk or king-size room, all delicately-appointed and homing plenty of storage to house your personal belongings. If you can tear yourself away, begin your day in the centre of Weymouth where the SEA LIFE Centre, Lodmoor Country Park and Weymouth Bay Miniature Railway all reside, in addition to the magnificent Bowleaze Cove and Preston Beach, an idyllic spot to unwind and admire your scenic surroundings. Here you can also find Nothe Fort, Nothe Gardens and Weymouth Museum where you can tour a range of fascinating exhibits ahead of savouring a tasty meal and cold beverage in one of the restaurants, cafes or pubs nearby. Journey to Dorchester to visit the Dorset Teddy Bear Museum, Maiden Castle and the National Trust owned Max Gate, Thomas Hardy's former 19th century home; you are also well-positioned her to traverse the expanse of the Dorset AONB where there are plenty of walking and cycling opportunities including South Dorset Ridgeway, if you prefer to explore the scenic landscape on foot. However you choose to fill your days here in Dorset, ensure you do it from the charming base of Family Rest.

Itâs in the middle of a very quiet residential area where it sticks out like a sore thumb. It is however, a very functional house. It would have been nice to have a visitors book to be able to see what other people recommended when they were holidaying the area. The kitchen utensils and crockery are poor quality (difficult to self cater for 8 due to lack of serving dishes, and general kitchen equipment). Kitchen could have been cleaner (grime on cupboards), it would have been nice to have a pint of milk in the fridge for arrival - also when paying peak prices itâs a bit tight to leave 2 toilet rolls and 2 dishwasher tablets for a 7 day stay in a property that is supposed to sleep 8. The garden furniture is tired / needs a clean - it would have been nice to have a bbq (and some pegs to be able to use the washing line). We had to call to have the shower looked at (wouldnât drain) but this was resolved promptly. There was also an issue with ballifs knocking on the door, which was resolved, but wasnât ideal.

Good position to walk through Lodmoor Country Park to the sea. As a family we like to self cater, but felt that the kitchen was short on some equipment. We enjoyed glorious weather for our stay, but had it been wet, there was nowhere to hang coats.

We enjoyed good weather so the large outside space was a bonus. We catered for ourselves the majority of the time and would have liked a few more kitchen utensils and equipment. We also felt coat hooks would have been useful. However these are minor niggles and certainly did not detract from a great stay in a lovely house. Would definitely return.
