The property

Wonderful three storey renovated house situated adjacent to walks along the coast in Weymouth, Water’s Edge has direct stunning sea views stretching towards the Isle of Portland. Sitting on the edge of Portland Harbour in a quiet residential street with not too crowded small beach right next to your door, it’s a lovely base to have a holiday with family or friends. Well-equipped and modern property has warm interior elements throughout and gives a cosy feeling.

New for the start of 2021 the property has had a porch built.

It now has open plan downstairs with underfloor wooden flooring.

It also now has a wonderful front deck facing directly to sea, Perfect for seating with morning coffee or doing a spot of meditation or yoga.

Start mornings in the ground floor kitchen with hot breakfast and enjoy a cup of tea in the garden, step outside for some fresh air.

Put your legs up in a first-floor lounge or balcony and enjoy stunning scenery around.

Or you can move to the garden and have a picnic there. Comfortable bedrooms with quality furnishings throughout will give you a good night’s sleep so you wake up prepared for next day’s adventures. Chesil beach is a short stroll away as well as the Isle of Portland with clifftop walks and rugged landscape attracting many birdwatchers and walkers from all around the world, especially during bird’s migration peak in autumn and winter.

Rodwell trail which is just outside the property will take you to the town centre with your furry friends.

The property accepts two well-behaved dogs and this walk is perfect for them.

Weymouth’s town centre is bustling with many restaurants, shop and other entertainment with most places being pet friendly. Venture East and spend a day in the gorgeous Dudle Door with beaches nearby as well as Lulworth Cove, Kimmeridge bay, Chapman’s Pool.

Head West and explore the area around West Bay with red cliffs and nearby the tallest South coast cliff of Golden cap. Water’s Edge will be amazing holiday home in a quiet location at the edge of Weymouth still close to the town centre.

“Water Edge was really nice and the view from the sitting room was fantastic”

- Mrs Britain, June 2021
Mrs Huckle May 2021

“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.

- Mrs Huckle, May 2021
Mr Hillis May 2021

“Wonderful house along the sea front on the Rodwell Trail with breath taking views of Portland harbour.”

Sitting on the balcony watching the world pass by is bliss. The open layout downstairs is a great improvement making dining an improved experience. The house is an ideal with pub,shop and cafes/restaurants all within easy walking distance.Highly recommend Billy Winters! Small Mouth beach 5 mins walk great for families. We love this area and thoroughly enjoyed our weeks vacation!

- Mr Hillis, May 2021
Mrs Black April 2021

“Love this house so much, our 2nd visit, again, thank you for another lovely stay, even better this time with the new refurb spacious dining area with doors opening onto outside with the sea view and more amazing breath taking sea views from the lounge and balcony too.”

Perfect location for coastal walks and visiting places nearby. House is very clean and comfortable and has everything you need. Recommend very highly and hope to return another time.

- Mrs Black, April 2021
Woods August 2020

“Booking was very straightforward and the information about the property was very clear.”

The house was lovely, very clean and comfortable. High quality throughout and very well-equipped. The house is right on the sea front and has fantastic views from the living room balcony. We loved being able to explore the beach straight from the house and watch the world go by along the path and on the sea!

- Woods, August 2020
Mrs Tewkesbury August 2020

“Beautiful, well equipped house in a great location.”

- Mrs Tewkesbury, August 2020
Mrs Berriman July 2020

“Fantastic location overlooking Isle of Portland.”

Well equipped modern house with balcony. Really clean & comfortable. Had an amazing week & would highly recommend.

- Mrs Berriman, July 2020
Mr Barratt March 2020

“Great location, and excellent accommodation.”

Great views over the harbour from the living, and main bedroom. Only issue is the parking. Theres room for one car in front of the owners garage. Apart from that everything was brilliant.

- Mr Barratt, March 2020
Mr Bellamy February 2020

“The location of this property is superb and the view from the lounge window is a real treat even if it is wet and windy outside (it was February!”

). The house is well set up with everything that you would need and the comfort level is really good. Overall, highly recommended.

- Mr Bellamy, February 2020
Mr Goddard November 2019

“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.

- Mr Goddard, November 2019
Mrs Walker October 2019

“We wanted a holiday that enabled us to do lots of walking and have a comfortable base, we got both of these things.”

- Mrs Walker, October 2019
Mrs Rockall October 2019

“The view was lovely, and it was very peaceful because it wasn’t on a road with any passing traffic.”

The furnishings were a good quality and very comfortable.

- Mrs Rockall, October 2019
Miss Kelly September 2019

“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!

- Miss Kelly, September 2019
Mrs Tombling August 2019

“A few electrical items needed attention.”

1. The first floor toilet light flickered when switched off. 2. The top floor extractor fan in the bathroom came on when the adjacent en suite shower room light was switched on.

- Mrs Tombling, August 2019

“Relaxing stay”

Firstly, if arriving by car, don’t unload until someone opens the back door and opens the garden gate to access your vehicle. This will save you the trouble of endless journeys round to the front of the property. The position of the house is great. Next to a little beach that allows dogs and on the Rodwell trail, a converted railway track, which is popular with walkers and cyclists (some a little speedy). The views are magnificent of Portland bay from the lounge and bedroom. The garden is completely enclosed so is safe for children and dogs. The carpets are light colour so best to leave your shoes at the door as you come in. There are 3 toilets and two bathrooms and we did run out of hot water after someone had a bath. You are also mid terrace so need to be mindful of your neighbours if you are a noisy family. The beds were clean and comfortable but we needed extra covers on the single bed for our child as the duvet was too light and too small to tuck in. Perhaps bring an extra blanket with you.

Mrs Lane August 2019

“The whole package of this Holiday Rental is Fantastic.”

. You get the views you get the walks, Highly reccomend Waters Edge. *****

- Mrs Lane, August 2019
Mrs Abbey July 2019

“Another fantastic holiday booked with dream cottages”

- Mrs Abbey, July 2019
Mr Blow June 2019

“The house was lovely with wonderful views of the harbour.”

Great location for exploring the area. I tried to contact dream cottages to report an intermittently working light pull in the first floor toilet but after waiting 15 minutes for the call to be answered I gave up.

- Mr Blow, June 2019
Mrs Oakes June 2019

“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!

- Mrs Oakes, June 2019
Miss Tann May 2019

“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.

- Miss Tann, May 2019
Mrs Nicola Taylor Aug 2018

“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.

- Mrs Nicola Taylor, Aug 2018
Mrs Natal Shillito Jun 2018

“Excellent holiday home.”

Brilliant view and excellent facilities. Brilliant holiday home, can't wait to book again. Stayed May 2018

- Mrs Natal Shillito, Jun 2018
Mrs Penny Smith Jan 2018

“Waters Edge was a delightful property to stay in - perfect for our Christmas holiday with the family.”

Well equipped, warm, roomy, good quality furnishings - couldn't have wished for more. The Christmas tree plus chocolates and wine on arrival were a lovely treat and much appreciated by all. Will definitely return – stayed December 2017

About the location

WYKE REGIS

Weymouth 2 miles; Dorchester 9 miles.

Wyke Regis is a 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, just two 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 two 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, whilst 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.
