A lovely little cabin hidden away for a break away, and a place to reset, So close to the beach and Weymouth town too was also a plus. thank you to Tracy the lovely host who made us feel so welcome.

A garden house between fields and road

A small cottage with a lovely terrace in the countryside above the road at the edge of a field. Very sustainably run and beautifully furnished. A short walk to town and the beach.Tracy is a very pleasant host.

It's not that apparent from the map on the website that the property is close to the Old Sherborne road. Although it is shielded by bushes the road is unrestricted and noisy during the day and evening up to about 10pm. This reduces the enjoyment of the patio and cabin generally. You also need to drive when you go out as there is no footpath to nearby Charminster, unless you want to take your chances walking by the side of the busy Sherborne road.The cabin itself is cosy and set in nice countryside.
