“Lovely modern cottage, with excellent local amenities”
The cottage/apartment was very well appointed, with Smart TV's & excellent WiFi and broadband, good quality furnishings, and a very compact but functional kitchen. We made use of the cooker, dishwasher, and washing machine, and all were modern and easy to use. Externally, the cottage is surrounded by beautiful countryside; one evening we spotted a fox, badger, owl, woodpeckers, horses, sheep and cows, so you really feel that you're away from the city. There is ample car parking space, and areas for the kids to explore. We also used the BBQ a couple of times, and eat out at local pubs for the remainder. Dorchester, Weymouth, Lyme Regis, Swannage, Corfe Castle, Kimmeridge Bay, Lulworth, all of these places are worth a visit, and the cottage made an ideal base to travel from. Local Sainsburys sold fuel and food, and was within 5 mins drive of the cottage.

About the location
UPWEY
Dorchester 5 miles; Weymouth 4 miles.
The picturesque village of Upwey lies just four miles north of Weymouth, nestling beneath the Dorset Ridgeway, and takes its name from the shallow chalk stream, the River Wey, which bubbles up here from an underground spring. Upwey is well-known for its Wishing Well, where George III once sought the benefits of the natural spring water. It is now a delightful tea room, serving lunches and traditional cream teas. There are a number of footpaths leading directly from the village to miles of unspoilt countryside, and close by is the market town of Dorchester, Thomas Hardy’s ’Casterbridge’. An easy drive or bus ride takes you to the popular seaside resort of Weymouth offering visitors glorious golden sandy beaches, excellent watersports facilities and a bustling harbour. An attractive village location and an ideal place to escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
