  • "Glyde house is in a brilliant location, with lots of attractions and amenities close by."

    The house itself is huge and very comfortable, with everything needed for a big family and a big, clean garden, with lots of lovely plants to investigate. We did not find a spot of dust anywhere within the house. My family and I would gladly stay again, thanks David and Gail for a lovely stay.

  • "Loverly property and surrounding grounds."

    Well furnished and the grounds are maintained to a great standard. The location is excellent as well, just a short walk into town but remains secluded and private, despite its close proximity to the town.

    Perfect location for the beautiful surrounding areas and popping to the little high street. Lovely views from the back of the cottage and walks around. Would highly recommend and definitely return

About the location

DORCHESTER

Weymouth 7 miles.

A trip to Dorset is not complete without visiting the market town of Dorchester, with its Roman roads, museums and a wide selection of pubs and restaurants. Enjoy a scenic walk around Maiden Castle, the largest hillfort in England, or visit the County Museum which has a room devoted to Thomas Hardy, born just two miles away in Bockhampton. Just seven miles away are the glorious gently shelving beaches and picturesque harbour of Weymouth, and the rugged peninsula of Portland, linked to the mainland by Chesil Beach, part of the breathtaking World Heritage Coastline. In fact, you’ll find yourself so intoxicated by Dorset’s magic spell, you won’t want to return home at the end of your stay!
