"Waters Edge has the most amazing view over Portland harbour that we have ever seen."
It was relaxing to sit in the comfortable lounge and gaze at the water and look at the ships and sailing boats.
We found the property home from home .Everything was in good order and the place was spotless. The sun is in the rear of the property in the afternoon,and the newly decked garden is a real exciting place to sit and read in the sun.The best part for us, a cycling and walking family, was the Rodwell trail.It is wonderful to be so close to this marvellous trail when staying at Waters Edge. The Lidl store at the end of Portland causeway, very near to the property is a great, economical place to shop .Thank you for a wonderful week.

"Very comfortable house in a great position - easy to get to Chesil beach , Weymouth ( either by the Rodwell trail or by bus ) and to all points on Portland."
We and our dog were lucky to have a sunny week and enjoyed the
views over Portland Harbour from a comfortable modern house.

"Another amazing week at Waters Edge."
Spotlessly clean and everything needed is supplied. The newly landscaped garden is perfect. Such good walks in either direction, either walk to Weymouth along the old railway path or in the other direction there is Chesil Beach and Portland. Hardly used the car at all!

"Water's Edge is a lovely warm, comfortable property."
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Location instructions and parking simple; plenty of room for a large vehicle. However, some of the kitchen equipment let it down. A milk saucepan, frying pan and roasting pan were well past their sell by date. The condition of these were obviously not picked up by the cleaner’s or the maintenance team. The items were all speedily replaced by the maintenance team when we reported the issue. Likewise the bathroom bath non slip mat was also replaced. We did struggle with the front door lock, using the back door only during our stay. This was noted by the maintenance team but, it appears that it’s security mechanism was a bit too technical for our brains. Overall a lovely property, we will definitely return.

As a family we understand that cleaning the property is of the upmost importance however by moving the time to when you can arrive is disheartening 4pm this year and 5pm 2022 this takes away some of your holiday time and with prices increasing quite a lot if not a little unfair to the holiday maker also I must remember to call in for tea coffee and milk before arriving because I presume it is due to covid that the welcome pack has been removed Having said this it still has not stopped us returning in july 2022 S George Derby
Thanks for this helpful feedback. Yes, unfortunately Dream Cottages have been forced to make the check-in time later to allow for more thorough cleaning during changeovers of guests. Similarly the provision of tea, coffee and milk had to be curtailed due to COVID restrictions. BW Saleem (owner) Property Owner

"Balcony had amazing views over the sea."
Always something to watch.
Beach just round the corner from the house was great for my young son, and Castle Cove beach close by too. Really close to the Chesil and Billy Winter's restaurant was great for our young son again, as on the beach. Highly recommended this property.
We had a truly wonderful time. Very lucky with the weather! Only thing I'd say is door locks are really quite stiff and it would be good if we could have recycled our rubbish.

"The house was lovely and the views from the
Lounge and balcony were stunning."
The back garden definitely needs some TLC and the back door has dropped which made it very difficult to open and lock. We really enjoyed our holiday.

"Great views and walks."
Property very well presented and very comfortable. Could do with some additional mugs, and the back garden path being upgraded to avoid muddy patches as this is the main access from the car/drive to the property. One broken chair on the balcony also needs to be replaced. Lovely to be able to take two dogs. Hope to stay again.

"Fabulous position with uninterrupted views of the harbour."
Right on a disused railway track into Weymouth with the coastal path to the west just across the road so walkers were well served. Attractions nearby included Portland Bill, Abbotsbury, Maiden Castle and Dorchester. Only 9 minutes into the centre of Weymouth with its quay, castle, Nothe Fort and shops and cinema. Great spot for a holiday.

"What an excellent location, it was amazing having the balcony to sit out on and watch the World go by."
Unfortunately the house is in need of a lot of TLC, especially the en-suite off the main bedroom. I would still recommend people to stay but we were slightly disappointed having paid a lot of money that the spec throughout wasn't of a higher standard, essentially you're paying top money for the view.
The house is ideally located to walk in to Weymouth one way, and Portland the other, both about 2 miles. To walk to Weymouth you can take the longer route of the Coastal path, or go straight down the old railway line. There's a great beach bar called Billy Winters about a 10 minute walk across the bridge to Portland, and a superb restaurant called The Crab House Cafe just across the road before you head over the bridge. For dog owners you can get down to the beach opposite the house, and there's a small sandy cove a 2 minute walk round the corner, our dog was in heaven every day! We had an excellent week and really didn't want to leave. Oh and thanks for the welcome gift!

"When the weather is cold and wet as last week was the heating was switched off for the summer and there did not appear to be any heating back up."
As we are senior citizens with serious health issues, sitting about in the cold is not very comfortable or advisable.
Also this is the first holiday rental in 30 years where there was no hairdryer, so had to go and purchase a new one!

"The location is the number one plus point of this house."
Water's Edge is ideally located with beautiful views over Portland Harbour ( especially from the balcony) and on the Rodwell Trail which takes you directly into Weymouth (approx 1 hour level walk.) There is also a little inlet with small beach only 2 minutes walk away. These factors made it ideal for us with a dog who loves swimming. It is also a very comfortable and well furnished house. I would highly recommend this property for a great holiday.

"This is a well equipped holiday home situated right on the Rodwell Pathway over looking the sea."
Ideal for those who want a quite holiday but you are close enough to Weymouth either to walk or cycle on the pathway or drive in, we walked the path every day there and back taking in the coastal views along the way. Chesil beach is also close enough to walk to from this property which we did also. Would highly recommend this property. Stayed July 2018.
