About this property
This well-presented, mid-terrace cottage lies in the popular resort of Weymouth, close to a range of amenities. Delightfully presented over two floors, Owl’s Rest is a lovely place to call home for a family looking to escape to this seaside town. After a day on the beach, wash away the sand in the bathroom before making yourself comfortable in the open-plan living space. Take a seat on the sofa and tune into the Smart TV, or wander over to the kitchen and start cooking up a tasty feast, utilising the electric oven, gas hob, fridge/freezer and dishwasher for cleaning up! Gather the group round the dining table or take the evening outside and enjoy alfresco dining in the decked garden, making the most of the furniture. Whisk away upstairs and discover the bedrooms, including a king-size and twin, both neatly presented with fresh linen and towels. Weymouth is a spectacular holiday destination, and with Owl Rest’s central location you can explore its great range of attractions on foot. Wander to the seafront and pick up a fresh portion of fish and chips or choose a fine restaurant if you’re seeking something more indulgent. There are plenty of shops to browse, or if you’re looking for something active, join the magical South West Coast Path and explore this scenic route, breaking away to the esplanade or soft golden sands. If you fancy taking to the sea, you can catch a rib ride or a gentler trip to Portland. Choose Owl’s Rest for a memorable break to this popular Dorset location.
Weymouth, a well-known resort, is an excellent year-round vacation spot with a wide range of attractions that are suitable for visitors of all ages and inclinations. The beautiful, lively harbour offers frequent fishing expeditions, while the beaches' gorgeous, golden sand offer first-rate facilities for all kinds of watersports. You can reach Portland Harbour and the untamed "Isle" of Portland, which is connected to Weymouth by the breathtaking Chesil Beach, after a little drive. Only 7 miles away is Thomas Hardy's "Casterbridge" in Dorchester. You may also travel the beautiful coastline route and stop at Abbotsbury Swannery and Subtropical Gardens. Alternatively, simply go to West Bay and take in the breathtaking vistas of the Dorset Heritage Coastline!

For us the beds were on the low side, which made it difficult to get up, especially for my wife who has problems with her knees and back. We found the front door was difficult to open due to the size and shape of the knob/ handle. Definitely no good for anyone with joint problems. Despite this we enjoyed our stay!!

Easy, clear instructions for key collection and no problem parking on the street. Property, towels and bedding are clean and well cared for. Kitchen is well stocked with crockery, utensils, pots, pans and cleaning essentials. Really nice to have an outside seating area. Short walk down to Weymouth town centre (took a bit longer coming back as it's uphill!). Had a lovely break, would definitely recommend.
