The picturesque village of Upwey lies just four miles north of Weymouth, nestling beneath the Dorset Ridgeway, and takes its name from the shallow chalk stream, the River Wey, which bubbles up here from an underground spring. Upwey is well-known for its Wishing Well, where George III once sought the benefits of the natural spring water. It is now a delightful tea room, serving lunches and traditional cream teas. There are a number of footpaths leading directly from the village to miles of unspoilt countryside, and close by is the market town of Dorchester, Thomas Hardy’s ’Casterbridge’. An easy drive or bus ride takes you to the popular seaside resort of Weymouth offering visitors glorious golden sandy beaches, excellent watersports facilities and a bustling harbour. An attractive village location and an ideal place to escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The groundfloor was very accessible as described so mum could have a relaxing stay. Lemmy the dog loved his biscuits on arrival! The cottage is beautifully light and airy and well appointed, we couldn't have asked for more.

We had a thoroughly lovely time there. We had everything we needed and a small issue with the bath was quickly sorted out. It is in a beautifully quiet village location with 2 shops and within easy distance to lots of places to visit. There are regular buses. I would recommend this group of holiday homes as a great base to explore the area. Thank you.
