About this property
Nestled in the popular coastal resort of Weymouth, Dorset, is this lovely holiday home, Lodmoor House. Enjoying a superb location within easy reach of the Dorset AONB, Jurassic Coast, and the wide variety of attractions and local amenities within the town, Lodmoor House is a fantastic family-friendly choice for couples or a family of four, plus their canine companion. The property benefits from allocated parking to the rear, or roadside at the front, a front garden with storage shed where you can keep bikes, kayaks and beach gear, and a wonderful rear, enclosed garden with furniture and a terraced raised patio, perfect for enjoying meals alfresco. On the ground floor, you will find a light and airy kitchen/diner, where you can whip up your best dishes, ready to savour at the dining table over a bottle of wine, before retiring to the plush seating in the sitting room to curl up in front of your favourite shows on the TV. Head upstairs, where you can freshen up after an adventure filled day with your choice of bath or shower in the sleek bathroom, before catching some well-deserved rest with one king-size and two single beds available. Explore the town, where you can enjoy wildlife rich walks through the RSPB Radipole Lake, spend a day on the golden sands of Weymouth Beach, catch a live performance at the Weymouth Pavilion, visit the historic Nothe Fort, meet the local marine life at the sea life centre, stock up on essentials at the well-stocked convenience stores and supermarkets, or treat your loved ones to a delicious meal at Enzo Ristorante & Pizzeria, Rockfish or The George Bar & Grill. Next stop is Dorchester, where you can tour The Keep Military Museum, Dorset Museum, and National Trust – Max Gate, the former home of Thomas Hardy, sample local ales at The Poet Laureate, or visit the nearby Kingston Maurward Animal Park and Gardens. Further afield, you’ll find Bridport, where you can test out your swing at the excellent Bridport & West Dorset Golf Club, explore the Bridport Museum, or time your visit right to attend the Jurassic Fields Festival in July. All this and more awaits at Lodmoor House.
Weymouth is an excellent vacation spot any time of year because of the large range of activities and attractions available, which are fun for people of all ages and interests. Fishing expeditions leave regularly from the attractive, bustling harbour, and the beautiful, golden beaches are equipped with everything you could want for a day at the beach. Portland Harbour and the mountainous "Isle" of Portland are just a short drive away, connected to Weymouth by the breathtaking Chesil Beach. Take a trip to nearby Abbotsbury Swannery and Subtropical Gardens or venture to nearby Dorchester, Thomas Hardy's "Casterbridge," located about 7 miles away. A second option is to just visit West Bay, where you will be treated to breathtaking vistas of the Dorset Heritage Coast.

From the minute we arrived to find chocolates, milk and prosecco in the fridge and biscuits on the table we were thrilled with the accomodation. If there is one, very tiny thing that I would change it is that the TV is quite difficult to get the hang of. Being freesat there are a multitude of channels that all seem the same (every BBC 1 region for example) . It would be useful if there was a note today which channel number gets the local service so we could watch the weather forecast. With that one small point.made everything else was lovely and we will certainly recommend it to other people and perhaps even book it again ourselves.
