Resting in the seaside town of Weymouth, along the Jurassic coast, close to local amenities and attractions, Stones Throw is a great hideaway for a family or group of friends looking to explore Dorset. Set over the first and second floors, the living areas of this property can be found on the first floor, alongside the garden. Settle down in the sitting room, a light and airy space with a TV and electric fire and plan the day ahead of you from the selection of stylish sofas.

On the second floor, freshen up in the bathroom, making the most of the bath with a warm soak amongst the bubbles, or a refreshing shower, before settling down into one of the two well-presented bedrooms, including a spacious double with tasteful décor and storage and a second bedroom with bunk beds ideal for children. This lovely property is settled into the seaside town of Weymouth, resting along the Jurassic coast of Dorset, where there are a great selection of tasty eateries, pubs, cafes and independent shops, as well as convenience stores where you can stock up on essentials. Take a walk along the esplanade to the pavilion, and picturesque harbour, visit the Sea Life Centre or explore the wildlife at RSPB Radipole Lake. For historic sites, visit Tudor House, the Weymouth Museum, or Northe Fort, or there is the option of enjoying the scenery and salty air at the local beach. Further from the property you will find a selection of golf courses, as well as fantastic beachside locations, including Lyme Regis, where there is a beach, aquarium, museums, and the option to explore the cliffs of the coast and see what fossils you can find within them, or simply enjoy the coastal walks. All of this and so much more with a stay at Stones Throw.

Great amenities. Nothing not to like

The shower was very poor in strength and difficult to get the right temp. A squeaky sign outside the lounge window was annoying. Perhaps a word with the shop owner as not your fault! Quite a lot of noise from the two pubs late at night. Positives: everywhere clean and well decorated. Beds very comfy.
