About this property

Harbour Retreat is a charming first-floor apartment brimming with character, situated near the harbour in Weymouth, Dorset. With large windows and meticulous attention to detail, this delightful abode offers the perfect base for families or friends to enjoy vibrant harbour life, fabulous restaurants, bustling town centre shops, and Weymouth's golden sands. Upon entering the apartment, you will be greeted by two beautifully presented bedrooms. The king-size room is a true highlight, with two impressive floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light, and a Smart TV for leisurely mornings in bed. Equally inviting, the twin room also features a Smart TV, ensuring everyone has their own space for relaxation and entertainment. The property benefits from a sleek shower room, equipped with a walk-in shower, basin, and WC, providing a refreshing space to prepare for your day. The heart of the home is the open-plan living/dining room, where you can gather with your loved ones. Here, you can sink into the leather Chesterfield sofa or one of the two armchairs with your favourite programme on the Smart TV, lose yourself in a good book from the selection provided, or simply enjoy the ambience of the high street from the floor-to-ceiling windows. The dining area, with seating for four, offers the perfect spot for enjoying home-cooked meals, prepared in the well-equipped kitchen. Prepare to delve into a world beneath the waves at SEA LIFE Centre Weymouth or explore the Victorian Nothe Fort overlaid with tales of history and rich insights. For those with a head for heights, ascend to Portland Castle which offers panoramic vistas across Weymouth Harbour and beyond. For more languid days, an array of beautiful local gardens, from the lush, bowling-green lawns of Alexandra Gardens to the flowering, beach-flanked Greenhill Gardens, provides perfect picnic spots or calming settings for afternoon strolls. History enthusiasts can explore Sandsfoot Castle, the proud remains of Henry IV's elegant and well-preserved stronghold, overlooking Portland Harbour. Before heading back to your inviting retreat, feel the sand between your toes at Weymouth Beach, before taking a leisurely stroll along the pier to enjoy stunning coastal views. Round off the perfect seaside day with a delicious serving of fish and chips at Weymouth Harbour, where you can watch the boats bobbing in the marina as the sun sets. Harbour Retreat serves as the perfect stepping stone for those seeking to explore the buzz and vibrancy of Weymouth and the soothing serenity of the Dorset coast.

The popular resort of Weymouth makes an outstanding year-round holiday destination, with a wide variety of attractions on offer, appealing to all tastes and ages. The glorious golden sandy beaches have excellent facilities for all kinds of watersports, whilst from the picturesque, bustling harbour you can take regular fishing trips. A short drive takes you to Portland Harbour, and the rugged “Isle” of Portland, linked to Weymouth by the dramatic Chesil Beach. Visit Dorchester, Thomas Hardy’s “Casterbridge”, only 7 miles away, or take a journey along the scenic coastal road and call in at Abbotsbury Swannery and Subtropical Gardens. Alternatively, just head down to West Bay - the views of the stunning Dorset Heritage Coastline are not to be missed!
