Less than half a mile from the award-winning beaches of Weymouth sits this picture-postcard holiday cottage with cosy decor and ample space for a family of four. This property is ideal for guests wishing to explore the Jurassic Coastline and Dorset's finest countryside.

Enter the communal hallway of this ground-floor apartment and shed those sandy shoes before venturing into the heart of the home, the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. The deep sofas beckon visitors to put their feet up with a good novel or pop the TV on. Whip up delicious family meals in the contemporary kitchen, where pops of blue, glossy cabinets and stacks of equipment make this space a pleasure to cook in. Break open a bottle of wine and enjoy a long, bubbly soak in the bath after busy days. The apartment hosts two beautifully furnished bedrooms: a master double bed with an en-suite shower room and TV and a twin room that can be made up as a super-king-size on request. Treat yourself to a machine-made coffee each morning and grab a few minutes of peace with the newspaper or a podcast.

Weymouth Beach has been recognised year-on-year as one of the top 20 beaches in Europe. Golden sands sprinkled with deckchairs, safe shallow waters, and a gorgeous harbourside with bobbing boats serve as a wonderful day out, no matter your age. Tuck into locally-produced ice cream or salt and vinegar-drenched chips on the esplanade, or alternatively, take a seat at one of the inviting cafes for a sit-down seafood dinner. Activity hunters will be eager to capture the sight of the legendary Durdle Door (15 miles) and the natural wonder of Lulworth Cove (16 miles).
