We enjoyed a relaxing weekend at Southdown. The house is just on the edge of Lodmoor RSPB Reserve and it was lovely to walk around the Reserve in the early evening. The hot tub was really clean and the house was comfortable and really well equipped.

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We’re really pleased you enjoyed a relaxing weekend at Southdown. The walks around Lodmoor RSPB Reserve are definitely something special.
It’s great to hear you found the house comfortable, well equipped, and that the hot tub was spotless and ready to enjoy. We’d love to welcome you back again in the future.
(4 adults, 4 kids, Easter weekend, 2026)A fantastic property with stunning views across the nature reserve to the sea and the island or Portland - all from the comfort of the hot tub! Well equipped kitchen, two bathrooms, driveway parking (for more than 1 car!) and easy to drive into Weymouth town centre for more fun.Great walks through the reserve and around the area to explore. Hosts were quick to respond and very helpful. This place ticks all the boxes and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
very satisfied with all aspects of the property, everything you need is provided for. wonderful location overlooking the RSPB
All the information you need is in the welcome folder.
Jodi and Simon are the ideal property managers, they leave you alone but are only a phone call away if you need anything. Would definitely stay there again.
We had an absolutely wonderful stay with my family and another family with young children. The property exceeded our expectations in every way. The breathtaking views were the highlight of our trip, and the hot tub provided the perfect way to unwind and soak in the beauty of the surroundings. The spacious accommodation was thoughtfully designed and provided ample room for both families to relax comfortably. We were also impressed with the property's cleanliness and attention to detail, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We can't thank the hosts enough for their warm hospitality and for creating such a perfect retreat for families. The hosts were also really responsive and helpful with queries before and during our stay.

A beautful property with some disappointments
It is a beautful house. Location is stunning, looking over the RSPB nature reserve. The bedrooms are spacious and the beds are very comfortable.
The communication with Simon was in general excellent.
The house is about 15 mins walk from the local shingle beach and about 25 minutes walk from Weymouth.
Unfortunately, there were a number of issues that made the stay a little uncomfortable and frustrating.
The fully equipped kitchen has no dishwasher. One of the the 4 induction hobs did not work the entire week and finally the 3 hobs had very little power. The kitchen chairs were broken and we needed to ask for new ones. The 2 of the seats in the lounge were broken. The chair had a hasty repair job and the sofa leg kept bending inwards whenever someone sat on it - both dangerous. Neither bathroom had working locks. The shower head upstairs did not fit the holder and kept falling off while in use. There was only 1 hand towel for the whole house. There were no hooks in the house so we could not hang up towels to dry or hang up wet coats. We spoke with Simon about the issues and he was very responsive. He procured new chairs (arrived the next day). He repaired and placed new locks and brought new hooks for bed and bathrooms. However, the lounge seats, broken cooker and no dishwasher remained an issue, especially for my elderly parents. Hopefully these issues are resolved for the future. Check out time miscommunications also did not help the matter.

Thankyou Richard for admiring its location and yes you are quite right it is beautiful and spacious.
To address your concerns so others are able to understand what actually happened and understand there are two sides to every story.
Richard was very rude from the outset messaging me within 10 minutes of his arrival on my mobile at his disappointment with the house rules even though they are on the site at the time of booking, the following day he sent a message about the kitchen chairs saying one of them was broken but in a very rude sarcastic manner, I went around the same day and repaired them but Richard wasn’t satisfied so I purchased new ones with an extra two just in case
When I took these around Richard greeted me with a list of things that he wasn’t happy about
There were no hooks in the bedrooms or bathrooms even though there are towel rails and clothes rails or wardrobes, regardless as I want people to enjoy staying at our home it was an easy fix so I got and fitted them the next day, I repaired the bathroom locks, he let me know one of the rings on the new induction hob wasn’t working but didn’t mention the lack of power in the others and said for me not to worry as I wouldn’t be able to get anyone round before he left which I have now replaced and also repaired the wooden kegs on the sofa.
The shower head holder is funnel shaped and was twisted around the wrong way, had it been mentioned I would of turned it 180 degrees so it was the right way?
Unfortunately, very occasionally things do go wrong but as always, we respond in a professional and speedy manner, so we minimise any stress caused.
At no point have I given any indication there is a dishwasher but as always now this has been brought to our attention, I may fit one in the future and then I will add it to the list of things available at the house.
The house is newly refurbished with all new fixtures and fittings but occasionally things do go wrong but and as superhost on other sites we take great care in our properties and of our guests, but I believe some people are out to get something for nothing through repetitive complaints.
Richard then decided to follow all of this up with abusive texts after I gave him a lower review.
Thanks Richard, a very classy touch.
