Guests say
Marina Reach is a well-liked cottage in Weymouth, Dorset, praised for its cleanliness, prime location, and well-equipped nature. Guests appreciate the property's proximity to the town centre and the beach, as well as the convenience of allocated parking. While some guests find the furniture and space adequate, others suggest improvements in comfort, particularly regarding the sofa and chairs.
The property is generally regarded as clean, with several guests noting it as 'spotless'. However, a few guests mentioned issues with cleanliness, such as mould and dust, which slightly lowers the score.
The location is highly praised for being quiet, convenient, and within walking distance to Weymouth town centre and the beach, making it an ideal spot for guests.
Guests have mixed feelings about comfort; while the beds are often described as comfortable, the sofa and chairs are frequently criticised for being uncomfortable. The en-suite is also noted as small and impractical by some.
The property is well-equipped, with guests appreciating the inclusion of items like an ironing board and bodyboards. However, there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as stiff windows and a need for new curtains, which suggests room for improvement.
Guests have mentioned thoughtful touches like complimentary tea and coffee, which add to the welcoming atmosphere of the property. While these gifts are appreciated, they are not guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
A ground floor apartment in a quiet residential area is where you will find Marina Reach. Only a few minutes walk from the marina and a short walk to the main beach and town centre and just a few minutes from the marina and inner harbour. A recently built apartment benefits from being on the ground floor and is well presented with a contemporary feel. Having the living kitchen dining room all open plan means you can relax together whilst dinner is cooking and plan your next day of activities. There is an allocated parking space included; so, park your car can and forget it for the rest of your holiday. Everything you need is only a short walk away. Weymouth's beach with its long and golden sands, with shallow waters enticing bathers of all ages. It still offers traditional beach attractions such as Punch and Judy and Donkey rides, help to enhance the holiday feel. A stroll to the town centre and old picturesque harbour gives you a selection of restaurants with cuisines from around the world as well as traditional fish and chips, and numerous pubs. If you prefer to eat at home, the well-equipped kitchen at Marina Reach is great to rustle up a tasty meal. There are many activities that are on offer in Weymouth from visiting the historic Nothe Fort, to a boat trip around the coast, or a day trip to the Sealife Centre. If the weather is not the summer sunshine, then a visit to the nine-screen cinema or ten pin bowling are just a few in door options on offer. Located so close to the Rodwell trail, Marina Reach is in a great location for you all to explore 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!

There were a few things not quite right. Firstly there was a shelf missing from over the sink in the en suite which made it very difficult for my husband to shave as there were two supports sticking out which were quite dangerous. There was also no bath mat to stand on when getting out of the shower. Lastly the furniture was quite uncomfortable which we had noticed had been said in previous reviews. It would not stop us returning though as we enjoyed ourselves there. Hilary.

Parking is great, quite important with my disabled husband. Good distance into town. Shower magic as usual. All very clean. Television a challenge, but it was only football. Looking forward to next year. Thank you so much Brenda
