“(We often use a key safe for holidays but found this particular one to be a bit tricky!”

- for your info, not for publication). Home Waters is in a fantastic location and your listing and holiday home were as usual the super high standard that we have experienced over more than a decade of booking with Dream Cottages.

- Mrs Irish, October 2020

Thankyou for your valuable feedback, we are so pleased you loved Home Waters. The Owner has fixed the tricky keysafe. We look forward to welcoming you back soon - Sykes owner relations
Mrs Dean October 2020

“The photograph really does not do this cottage justice.”

There are amazing views from the property across the bay to Portland and it is just a few yards from the Rodwell Trail and water's edge. The property is warm and comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only minor concern was the very limited parking; just one small space which was not always easy to access. We would definitely recommend the property and would stay there again.

Mr Moore September 2020

“A lovely, clean, well equipped house right by the sea.”

We've had a wonderful stay in Home Waters and would highly recommend this holiday rental. Everything we needed was on hand and even the weather was on our side! We honestly can't think of one thing we'd change about this property....even the WiFi was good! Thank you for the perfect Dorset holiday, Jay & Gina, Suffolk

Mrs McCanna September 2020

“The fridge was not cold enough and I didn't know how to turn it up.”

The freezer was fine. In the fridge we got mould on our margarine. Otherwise a very handy location for a holiday

Mrs Fall-taylor August 2020

“Easy booking, lots of information about key handover and safety.”

The cottage was well equipped and perfect for what we wanted.

Mrs Abnett July 2020

“We had a fantastic week.”

Very cosy and suited us well. The only thing was the double bed mattress was very uncomfortable. One side of the bed was certainly lower than the other.

- Mrs Abnett, July 2020

Thank you for your valuable feedback and glad you had a wonderful stay. The owner has taken your comments on board and has ordered a new mattress for the double bed. Sykes owner relations
Mrs Beckwith November 2019

“Last minute booking so picked this smaller home over a previous town house style we stayed in before in the same area.”

Nice size for a couple, cosy once we switched the heating on. Main bedroom bed was very comfortable plus linen and towels were immaculate and of a good quality. Quiet area which we know well. Only downside was the shower which was powerful but went all over although that certainly wouldn’t put us off booking again if it was available.

“Fantastic setting”

Brilliant setting right on top of Portland Harbour, close to so many activities, walks or just to sit in the sun. Many choices of places to eat out or take away who deliver to the door. House is great, clean and pet friendly. Garden is very secure even for my little chihuahua, no stair gate to stop dogs going upstairs which would have helped. Some shade from an umbrella or such would have been useful. House well decorated excepted the sitting room, plain and chairs not comfortable or well set out. Saying this we would go back again.

Mrs Foster-alexander June 2019

“Loved the enclosed and secure garden for our small dogs but if you don’t want them to go upstairs a stair gate is needed.”

The house is lovely, well decorated and comfortable except the sitting room. It’s plain, unwelcoming and the chairs are so uncomfortable, far too low even for the fittest of us. We spent a lot of our time in the dining/kitchen area. The back garden is a sun trap but needs some sort of shade - umbrella or covering over the decking.

- Mrs Foster-alexander, June 2019
Mrs Mawston June 2019

“Excellent accommodation,clean and well equipped.”

Close to a small dog friendly beach ideal for morning needs. On the the Rodwell trail, which is ideal for longer walks. Bus service excellent. Close to beautiful sights of Dorset.

- Mrs Mawston, June 2019
Mrs Rowe May 2019

“We had a problem with reception on the TV Dream Homes came round immediately and when they could not fix they got someone else in to do this.”

Excellent service in a lovely holiday home , highly recommended .

- Mrs Rowe, May 2019
Mrs Maysey May 2019

Overall we were very pleased with the cottage and it was in a great location.

Mr Roger Whitbread

“Home Waters is a comfortable modern cottage in a quiet location with excellent links to both Weymouth and Portland with buses every 10 minutes.”

The sea is just 50 metres away with the Rodwell Trail following the coast towards Weymouth. This was ideal for us with our dog together with a local shop just 5 minutes walk away. Stayed July 2016

“We spent a fantastic time in this excellent property.”

House and garden were in top condition, clean, well organised and ready to use when we arrrived. The neighbourhood was calm and there wasn´t any traffic noise from the street. We were impressed of the short way to the sea. Best regards from Germany. Karl Stayed September 2015

The property

Located in a tranquil position on the edge of Portland Harbour at Ferrybridge, the southerly tip of Weymouth, is where you will find Home Waters, a lovely three bedroomed house. Providing an excellent base for your family holiday, Home Waters is located near to Smallmouth Bay with its small sandy beach.

The comfortable and cosy sitting room is the ideal place to enjoy playing games with each other on the Playstation or watching a movie, alternatively enjoy the fresh air relaxing outside in the patio area.

The famous Portland Bill lighthouse is a short drive or bus ride away, enjoy lunch at The Lobster Pot while enjoying the views.

With its abundance of wildlife, cliff top walks and the spectacular Chesil beach to explore for lost treasures Portland offers a rugged charm all of its own. A leisurely 30 minutes' walk away along the 'Rodwell Trail', an old converted railway line will lead you to Weymouth town centre with its numerous shops, restaurants, attractions and the main award winning beach with its golden sands and shallow waters.

If you prefer it is about an eight minutes' drive/bus journey away. A short coastal stroll will take you to hidden away Sandsfoot beach and castle ruins which is an ideal alternative to the more commercialised town centre beach.

The surrounding waters, which welcome the very best of the world's waters sports enthusiasts were where the sailing Olympic events were held in 2012. With the benefit of parking and a landscaped patio garden in the perfect coastal location Home Waters makes for a comfortable family holiday home.

About the location

WYKE REGIS

Weymouth 2 miles; Dorchester 9 miles.

Wyke Regis is village on the south western side of Weymouth that sits on the northern edges of Portland harbour and reaches as far as the back of Chesil beach and The Fleet. 2 miles from the centre of Weymouth. There are local shops, cafés and restaurants including The famous Crab House café, with it’s own Oyster beds on the doorstep. The National Sailing school, an Olympic legacy, offers a wide variety of water sports and is just 2 miles away on the edge of Portland harbour. The Fleet lagoon that runs between Wyke Regis and Chesil beach is an important area for wildlife and there are many species of birds to be seen in the area. Chesil beach is also a renowned spot for fishing. The Fleet is probably most famous for being the testing ground for Barnes Wallis’s bouncing bomb, immortalised in the film the Dam Busters. Wyke Regis is the perfect location from which to explore many of Dorset’s most iconic locations on the Jurassic coast.
