The cottage's decor and the provision of tea, coffee, and biscuits have been appreciated, although some minor issues with facilities and maintenance were noted.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The property is consistently described as clean and immaculate, with one report of dog mess in the garden suggesting room for improvement in outdoor maintenance.
The location is highly praised for being close to amenities, the harbour, and walking areas, making it an ideal spot for guests with pets or those looking to explore Weymouth.
Guests have found the beds and pillows very comfortable, contributing to a restful stay. The warmth of the property has also been noted, although a suggestion for a handrail indicates a potential area for enhancement.
The property is well-equipped, but feedback about missing items like a masher and chopping board, and a small dog escaping the garden, indicates that some attention to detail is required.
The provision of tea, coffee, milk, and biscuits is a thoughtful touch, though it should be noted that such gifts, while appreciated, are not guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
Weymouth 1.6 miles. The Nightingale is a beautifully-presented, semi-detached house located in the heart of Weymouth, in Dorset. Perched on the edge of Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and overlooking the coast of Weymouth Bay, this property is ideal for families and friends looking for a sunny, seaside holiday. Make your way into a homey sitting room, complete with plush sofas and a Smart TV for you to spend your evening in front of. Moving further into the property, you'll find a kitchen/diner well equipped with everything you need to make your favourite meals and breakfasts which you can either enjoy around the dining table or around the outdoor table in the pristinely-landscaped garden. Come back inside when it starts to get cold and warm up under the hot spray of the walk-in shower then head to bed in a soft double bed. You'll find so much to do in the seaside town of Weymouth with its endless supply of eateries like the Old Rooms Inn, an inviting pub with a waterfront terrace, The Cactus Tea Rooms where you can tuck into a lovely afternoon tea, and The Crusty Cob where you'll be able to pick up fresh pastries and bread for breakfast. Visit Nothe Fort, an open museum in a Victorian fort, walk up Weymouth Stone Pier to take breathtaking pictures of the bay, then end the day by cooling down in the water at Weymouth Beach. Drive up to Dorchester where you'll be spoilt for choice of museums with The Dinosaur Museum, Dorset Teddy Bear Museum with its collection of life-size and antique teddies, Dorset Museum and Art Gallery, and more. Head to Dorset Falconry Park with its displays of over 100 birds of prey, and end the day with a stroll and picnic through Borough Gardens. Then make your way to Bovington village to see over 250 animals at Monkey World - Ape Rescue Centre, walk through the five stunning, landscaped acres of the Walled Garden and stop for some tea at the patio café, and history-lovers will enjoy a trip to The Tank Museum boasting the world's finest collections of tanks and interactive activities. The Nightingale offers something for everyone.
The popular resort of Weymouth makes an outstanding year-round holiday destination, with a wide variety of attractions on offer, appealing to all tastes and ages. The glorious golden sandy beaches have excellent facilities for all kinds of watersports, whilst from the picturesque, bustling harbour you can take regular fishing trips. A short drive takes you to Portland Harbour, and the rugged “Isle” of Portland, linked to Weymouth by the dramatic Chesil Beach. Visit Dorchester, Thomas Hardy’s “Casterbridge”, only 7 miles away, or take a journey along the scenic coastal road and call in at Abbotsbury Swannery and Subtropical Gardens. Alternatively, just head down to West Bay - the views of the stunning Dorset Heritage Coastline are not to be missed!

Also a lovely smell of wood when you enter the property. Quiet location and 5 min walk (if that) to the harbour area. Walking distance to Weymouth shops, beach & Nothe Fort. Also a short drive to Durdle Dor, Lulworth Cove, West Bay & Dorchester if you want to explore a little further out like we did. Would definitely recommend this house for your stay in Weymouth.

The property was spotless and we lacked for nothing.It was a good location for either walking on the cliff or down to Nothe Fort and the harbour.There are two steps up into the property which would benefit from a hand rail for people with a mobility problem
