    “Really enjoyed our stay at Stanley House.”

    The views are fantastic, the beds are really comfortable. The enclosed courtyard very useful and the outside upstairs decking area a real suntrap . We can see updates and some refurbishment has taken place and that you are planning more. I think that 8 guests would be a bit tight with the top floor attic rooms being a bit smaller and head height low. The two lounge areas are lovely, maybe the sofas upstairs could do with some tlc. The location is great and would recommend.

    Thank you so much for your helpful feedback mr. Phillips I’m so pleased you had a lovely stay at Stanley house. I will speak to Dreams about updating the property description to ensure people are clear that the top two bedrooms are a little smaller and the head height a little reduced so that prospective clients are clear on this. Over the next two years yes I plan significant improvements to the property Indeed, I am starting on full sash window refurbishment in May and have engaged an Architect to help me secure permission to do improvements to the exterior following which I will be completing a full program of internal refurbishment in keeping with the Georgian period of the house over the next two years. I do hope to welcome you back to Stanley house at some point in the future and hopefully you will then see for yourself the enhancements I have made to make the most of this unique house and location. Thank you thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. Property Owner

The property

Stanley House is a beautiful, harbourside dwelling occupying one of the most desirable positions in Weymouth, just paces from Weymouth Sailing Club and the Lifeboat Station.

With impressive views from every window and with the sought-after addition of two parking spaces, this cottage offers the ideal escape for families and friends to make the most of.

Feel welcomed into the spacious living/dining room, where you can relax in front of the TV or delve into a good book while taking in your surroundings.

Move through to the dining area and get the family together around the table for a scrumptious meal cooked up in the well-appointed kitchen; the feature, antique petrol pump makes a great talking point as you sip your glass of wine and catch up on your day's adventures.

Climb the staircase with the help of the rope banister and find a large family bathroom with his and hers sinks, followed by another sitting room with spectacular, elevated views over the harbour, just what you need after a tiresome day exploring the local sights.

Enjoy a hot soak in the bathtub and fully indulge yourself with a glass of your favourite tipple afterwards as you admire the evening vistas over the waterfront.

The first of the bedrooms is also on this floor, while the second level plays host to the master room boasting a king-size with en-suite shower, whilst the third and final floor offers two smaller double rooms under the eaves.

If you manage to tear yourselves away from the incredible views and watching harbour life, then you are ideally located for exploring all the delights of this historic town.

Weymouth Beach is just a short rowboat ferry ride across the harbour and there are shops, bars, and restaurants all within paces of the front door.

Don't forget to try the local fish and chips, enjoy a hike through RSPB Radipole Lake, a haven for birdwatching, and a visit the Nothe Fort and Gardens to brush up on your history.

The wider region includes trips to Dorchester and fabulous walks and outdoor adventure in the Dorset AONB, a real treat for you and your loved ones in a wonderful part of the country.

All of this awaits at Stanley House.
