But it’s sad to say it’s need of some tlc now, windows and and doors don’t shut properly, have blown and a couple don’t close tightly allowing drafts into rooms making it hard to warm rooms. There was a real lack of glass wear to use for drinking, we bought our own to take home with us, An estate agent came to the house whilst we were in it to show a couple round to view it, is like to think had we not have been at the house they wouldn’t have entered it but it me feeling a bit uneasy about it being honest.

“Comfortable, well equipped house, in an excellent location next to the sea and the Rodwell Trail footpath to Weymouth.”

The views from the house are superb. Lovely house, thank you, 9 ½ /10 (This is the best possible score from me, as I would never give 10 as a matter of principle - nothing is perfect!)

“The house is in a fantastic position and the views across Portland Harbour are amazing.”

The bedrooms are very spacious and the two shower rooms are functional but cosy, main bathroom is fine. The house is well-equipped but it did seem tired and in need of some tlc. It could also do with a deep clean. The double glazing on quite a few windows is blown and the master bedroom windows are very dirty on the outside, making it difficult to see out. Luckily the ones in the living room are okay so the view is not spoiled. The carpets and cushions on the sofas have quite a few stains on them. The ensuite bathroom window does not close fully on one side which means you hear the wind howling through it. The light in the ensuite went out for several seconds and then came back on again, several times over the course of the week - loose connection? All that said, we had a great week at Stonesthrow and exploring Weymouth.

“It was a wonderful location with a balcony overlooking the Portland Harbour and seaside.”

The weather was excellent for us to have good days out with our grandchildren with a variety of experiences and activities. There was a well equipped kitchen dining room but no toilet downstairs. Most of the pillows were stained yellow so our daughter had to go out to buy some new ones as our grandchildren suffer from Asthma. Also, our son-in-law who is an Electrician pointed out some faults so we notified the owners about them. They arranged for a local Electrician to come promptly and fixed them. We were glad that we hadn't taken the dog as their restrictions about where the animal could go was too onerous for a young dog. The next door neighbours were very friendly and patient as the walls of the semi-detached house are not sound proofed.

It's a lovely property overlooking Portland. 5 mins drive into Weymouth but we caught the bus. Loved watching all the water sports in harbour and the sunset is beautiful over Chesil beach. Stayed June 2017

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.
