  • "We had a great time in this comfortable homely cottage."

    We had an issue with the rubbish bin and the condition of the kitchen floor (I contacted Dream Cottages and they were very helpful - the floor looks dirty, but I believe the marks are ground in). The beds were very comfortable and we all slept well. It's only a 10 minute walk into the town - parking would be an issue, as there were no spaces available the weekend we were there. As we'd stayed in this area previously, we were aware of this, so came by train. We would definitely stay here again.

  • "We had a lovely stay at Owls Rest!"

    It is really nice house with everything that you need. So close to walk into the centre of Weymouth, only a 10 min walk. I would highly recommend!

    Lovely to hear your positive feedback, thank you. Were grateful for your kind words and hope you wish to Weymouth and Owls Rest once again, thank you Property Owner

  • "Overall we had a lovely stay."

    We found the house to be a good size for the three of us, (2 adults, 1 toddler) It was light and airy. Excellent location, only 10 min walk into town. Worth bearing in mind it's up a massive hill. We got a good work out each day! Only negatives, we found the parking to be a bit hit or miss, especially on the weekend. We were grateful for the child facilities but found the travel cot mattress to be way too small for the cot itself. We had to pad it out with towels and our baby didn't sleep very well. If wed have known we would have brought our own. Would also have loved the main space to be a bit more child proof. Socket covers would have been amazing, maybe a latch on the fire guard to stop it from being pulled down. Thanks for a good stay.

    Many thanks for staying in Owls Rest and enjoying the home and Weymouth. Thank you for highlighting the mattress not fitting the Cot, We will take a look at this. Thank you again and enjoy your summer Property Owner

  • "We enjoyed our stay at Owl’s Rest very much."

    We parked our car on the day of arrival and didn’t use it again until we were driving home. We walked everywhere all week as it was lovely sunny weather and found the Rodwell trail to Portland Harbour which was great. We would just like to raise that perhaps you could leave details of how to get to the town centre/beach from Owl’s Rest in your information folder. It was only a 10 minute walk and wasn’t an issue for us as we had visited Weymouth on a number of occasions but if your guests are new to the area they may need guidance through the residential area. The location of Owl’s Rest was perfect and I’m sure we will be back! Thank you.

    Many thanks for your kind words of feedback, and like most guests, they have no issue with parking and enjoy being able to walk to all local attractions, the beach, harbourside, marina, Nothe Fort, town centre, shops and restaurants. I Understand your comment about notes of how to walk into the town entre it he information pack. I will speak with Dream Cottages, the agent, as they handle these aspects. Thanks again and hope you wish to stay with us again. Thank you Property Owner

The 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.
