Weymouth and the surrounding area are full of natural wonders, exciting activities, beautiful hiking paths and so much more. Stroll to the nearby RSPB Radipole Lake Nature Reserve, a 83 hectare nature reserve - Once you are on the footpath amongst the reeds and lagoons you are transported to a wildlife oasis, designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).

The property was beautifully presented and had everything we needed for our holiday. The welcome goodies were a lovely touch. The location is perfect as we didn't need to use the car all week and having direct access to the beach was great. We had a lovely time and would definitely return to this property when we visit Weymouth again.

Very well equipped. Spacious sunny rooms. However we have mentioned a few issues to the owner which will need attention before next year when we plan to come again!
