“A very and clean and comfortable holiday home with lovely views across to Portland.”

The quiet and clean beach was only across the road and down some wooden steps. We saw a beautiful sunrise! The property had all we needed with a lovely welcome pack on arrival and great walks from the door. Beds were very comfortable and white towels were soft.

“A lovely house, nicely decorated, very well equipped and in a good location.”

A short walk to the castle gardens and to small local beaches and a 20-30 minute pleasant walk along the old railway line into weymouth and, the other way, towards chesil beach. Friendly communication from the owners and an unexpected welcome pack with some chocolates and biscuits was well received. The whole house is in good condition. The twin beds downstairs are quite narrow. The double room is good and the master suite is very nice. There are sea views from the living area and from the master bedroom, and the kitchen is well equipped.

Jayne September 2024

“What a wonderful home, so cosy and well appointed - very handy having the parking spaces and the proximity to the sheltered, dog friendly beach is great and it’s ideal for paddle boarding.”

We will definitely return.

- Jayne, September 2024

Dear Jayne, thank you for your kind message, and yes, it is GREAT for paddleboarding! We certainly hope to welcome you again soon. Sue and Tim Property Owner

Thank you for this, it is much appreciated. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Property Owner
Tracey August 2024

“Absolutely lovely holiday home.”

We stayed here with our two children, 16 and 12 and had a great week. Location is perfect. About 20-30 minutes walk into Weymouth, easy access to the Rodwell Trail and walks to Portland and the South-West coastal path. The house itself is really well laid out, with a beautiful master bedroom and en-suite at the top of the house. The open plan kitchen and dining area is particularly well-designed for the times we ate in, fully equipped and with a good sized fridge freezer, fullsize cooker, and plenty of worktop space. We had good communication with the owners and there was also a lovely welcome basket waiting for us - thankyou! It was great to be able to walk over the road to the beach and have a swim. It’s not too crowded with soft sand and shallow water, perfect for paddling and swimming. Previous reviews mentioned noise from building works but this may have finished because we didn’t hear any during our stay. All in all, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Castle Cove view. It’s a perfect holiday home, and we will be back.

- Tracey, August 2024

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback, we are so happy you have had a great holiday at Castle Cove View. When we manage to get to the house, we love having the sandy beach so close by. We look forward to you returning in the future. Property Owner
Den July 2024

“Really nice property.”

Felt very fresh and clean when we arrived, had everything we needed. Lovely touch to have a welcome pack waiting for us, we all enjoyed that. Location is amazing. Path down to the beach 20 yards from the front door and a 20 minute walk into Weymouth. Fantastic master bedroom with ensuite and views overlooking the sea. We loved the outside seating area surrounded by palm trees and lovely early afternoon sun. Communication with the owners was all very good. Would definitely stay there again and highly recommend.

- Den, July 2024

Thank you so much for these lovely comments. We really do appreciate them. So glad you had a great time at Castle Cove and in Weymouth and we look forward to you returning sometime. Property Owner
Stuart July 2024

“Wonderful town house Very modern style Would recommend it to anyone The location is ideal next to the beach.”

Castle garden and a morning cafe who make great coffee located in the park Short walk to the town centre.

- Stuart, July 2024

Thank you for your lovely feedback... we couldn't agree more, the cafe up the road is great! We hope to see you again soon. Property Owner
Amy July 2024

“A beautiful clean, modern town house situated literally across the road from a secluded sandy cove which is ideal for swimming or paddleboarding.”

Welcome pack on arrival was the best we've ever had, including crisps, chocolates, biscuits, a bottle of prosseco and a bag of treats for the dogs. Tea, coffee, sugar and milk were also there on our arrival. Great location for many attractions and a fish and chip shop, pub and shop within a short walking distance. Would definitely return if staying in this area again.

- Amy, July 2024

Thank you so much for your great comments, we very much value them. We hope to welcome you back sometime in the future. Property Owner

It would have been nice to have a bigger TV in living as it was very small for size of room and we like to be out all day but home in evening the TV in bedroom was bigger suggest a swap

- Susan, June 2024

Thank you for your useful suggestion. It certainly gives us food for thought. Property Owner
Clare June 2024

“We've had a really lovely week at Castle View.”

The weather was fantastic so we went swimming and out on our two kayaks most days. This is a wonderful area. The house is very comfortable and had everything we needed. It was lovely to arrive to a big box of treats and they were much appreciated! We took the dog up the road to the pretty Sandsfoot Castle gardens regularly and enjoyed a coffee and pastry from the little cafe there. There are two points of access to the beach literally opposite the house. A private key was provided to open big gates to a slipway that is only used by very local neighbours, who said it was safe to store store our kayaks on the grass at the top of the slipway. This was very convenient, and completely safe. The public access is adjacent and is more winding with a few steps, but both bring you out onto a beautiful sandy little cove. The sea is clear and has flat sandy access to the water. It's a dog friendly beach all year round. Ideal for swimming especially at high tide, but the water doesn't shelve so it would be great for little people too. We walked over the hill to Weymouth - about a 45 minute pretty walk. Had a lovely brunch at Billy Winter's beach bar & diner (opposite Chesil beach) on the causeway to Portland. Also had great gluten free fish & chips from the Cod Fathers chip shop next to the Co-op only a 5 minute walk away. Castle Cove is a little gem and we hope to return!

- Clare, June 2024

Thank you for your lovely feedback, you highlight many of the advantages of this spot. Everyone benefits from the committed volunteers who help keep the little beach clean, and as you say, the sea is lovely and clear too. We hope to welcome you back soon. Property Owner
Peter June 2024

“Lovely house, literally across the road from the beach.”

The private parking space was handy too (enough for two cars). The gated private access to the beach and private gated garden area across the road to chill out was also very nice. Close to amenities, local cafe, pub, co-op and chip shop (very nice) were all within 5 - 8 min walk. Only a 5 - 10 min drive to get into the Brewers Quay or the main town or try the local walking trail, Rodwell trail, etc. House had good views of the sea from 1st and 2nd floors. Nicely decorated, all mod cons, washing machine, combi boiler, cooker, showers, bath, 2 x wc's, tv in Lounge and bedroom. We had no issues at all everything worked fine. The welcome pack was a nice touch and very moorish. Clean bedsheets/towels, etc, even had wash machine tabs, soap, cleaning clothes, washing up liquid, cleaning spray, tea towell and loo rolls, The place had everything. Not quite 5 star, but deffo 4 star. We would definitely stay again, and would happily recommend this accommodation. Thank you. 8-)

Jeanette May 2024

“Had a lovely stay at Castle Cove.”

The house was beautifully clean and smelt very fresh when we arrived. The welcome basket was very much appreciated. The location is fantastic; the close proximity to such a lovely beach was wonderful. The only minor complaint was the single bed was a bit narrow for an adult, but this didn’t spoil our stay.

- Jeanette, May 2024

Thank you so much for these lovely comments and we are so glad that you enjoyed your stay at Castle Cove View. We do understand that the single beds are a bit narrow for an adult, but we felt that space to move around the room was the priority (and the room is often used by children). We do hope to see you again. Property Owner
Julie February 2024

“A gorgeous light and spacious house.”

Really close to a small beach and within easy reach of both the town and Chesil beach. The house was well equipped and a welcome pack from the owners was very much appreciated. We would definitely stay here again if we were visiting the area.

- Julie, February 2024

Thank you so much for these great comments, so glad you enjoyed the house and location. We hope to welcome you back to Castle Cove View in the future. Property Owner
Susan December 2023

“This was the second time we have stayed in this property with our extended family.”

House had everything we needed for out stay and is warm and comfortable. The location is excellent, walk into town either via the Rodwell Trail which runs behind the house or along roads that follow the coast and brings you in to the Old Harbour. The sheltered beach a minute over the road from the property was used every day but us in December and is the real icing on the cake for our group. Lovely quiet location as well.

- Susan, December 2023

Thank you for your lovely feedback and we are so glad that your party had a happy stay. As you say the proximity of the beach and Old Harbour is one thing that we find so special. We look forward to welcoming you again soon. Happy, Healthy New Year to you all. Property Owner
Rosemarie December 2023

“We had the most fantastic stay, the house had everything you need.”

The location was outstanding, the welcome pack was greatly appreciated & well stocked with all kinds of goodies. We wont hesitate to re-book & would recommend it to everyone. Alfie gave it 10 out of 10 and lots of woofs. Fantastic!!! Happy & prosperous new year!! Rosie

- Rosemarie, December 2023

Dear Rosie, Thank you so much for your very positive comments and for taking the time to comment, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Let's hope 2024 brings glorious weather and that you make it to Castle Cove again too! A Happy Peaceful Year to you as well and our Ruby says woof! Property Owner

John September 2023

“Great place to stay for visiting Weymouth.”

Short 15-20 min walk into Weymouth either on Rodwell Trail or around headland via Belle View Rd. We made full use of private access down to the beach which is 1 min away from the front door. Good sandy beach which shallows very slowly. Accommodation is well maintained and has everything you need. We will be booking it again which says it all.

- John, September 2023

Thank you so much for these very kind comments and we are glad you had a lovely stay. We look forward to seeing you again at Castle Cove View in the future. Property Owner
Tammy August 2023

“The cottage was in the perfect location, well equipped and clean.”

Our welcome pack on arrival was such a pleasant surprise, and we had a lovely handwritten letter too, letting us know about a few local bits...we felt so welcome. Personal contact was made by the owners, which gave us the feeling they were happy to help if necessary - this was very handy on check out, as I'd left my sunglasses and was able to send a text to ask if I could go back and grab them, which was responded to within minutes. The personal touches made the holiday so special and I can't thank Sue and Tim enough for providing such a wonderful base for our lovely holiday. We would happily return if we ever visited Weymouth again! Thank you!

- Tammy, August 2023

Thank you so much for your lovely comments. We think Castle Cove View is special and love it when we can get to stay there. We hope to see you again sometime. Property Owner
Charles August 2023

“We hadn’t appreciated, when booking, just how close the house is to the sandy cove!”

Perfect for us with our daughter and two young grandchildren. The house was clean, comfortable and well equipped. We loved the open plan kitchen/dining/living room where we could be together with the children playing while we prepared meals etc. - and the bonus of sea views (sadly for the owners now partly obscured by new builds although we were pleased with sight of the sea!). It was lovely to be welcomed with a card and welcome pack, along with colouring packs for the children - very much appreciated! A great holiday in a perfect house! Thank you!

- Charles, August 2023

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback and that you enjoyed your holiday in Weymouth. We think the house is in a great spot and we look forward to you returning to Castle Cove View. Property Owner
Sally June 2023

“We loved staying and feel certain that we will come back.”

Such a good area so close to the beach. Wonderful walks. We enjoyed Weymouth immensely, such a very interesting area to visit. We were blessed with very good weather too. We need to come back to see more things! Our dog also had a wonderful time.

- Sally, June 2023

Thank you so much for your very positive comments. We love the area as well, it has something for everyone. We look forward to you returning in the future. Property Owner
Judith May 2023

“We all really enjoyed our first time in Weymouth.”

The house was well equipped and in a fantastic position just a five minute walk to the lovely Castle Cove beach. We could abandon the cars and made good use of the cycle/ footpath to get about. A big thank you for the welcome pack and help from the owners returning our granddaughters comforter. The amazing weather just finished the holiday off.

- Judith, May 2023

Thank you for your lovely comments; we are so glad you had a lovely time. Phew, so pleased we found the comforter too. Property Owner
Sarah April 2023

“The house was generally OK, but our stay was tainted by the down stairs area.”

I booked this house as I understood that it was under new ownership and was expecting it to be have been upgraded. The toilet /shower room, back garden and back double room are in dire need of a deep clean and repair. The toilet seat was far too small for the basin so didn't sit correctly. There was mould/mildew and dirt round the dated shower cubical. The back garden/yard needs a good clean and tidy up. The back bedroom cupboard/wardrobe was extremely dirty on the floor round the chest of draws, it looks like it hasn't been touched for years.

- Sarah, April 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We are unsure where you got the idea that it was under new ownership and up graded, however as you can see from our previous visitors, there have been very few complaints. We accept that the garden could have done with some attention, for which we apologise. We have now tidied the garden and patio and it is looking good. As regards the mould/mildew in the shower and the cupboard, we have spoken to the cleaning team and it is all sorted. If the space is not ventilated it is sometimes hard to keep it as fresh as we might like. Property Owner
Susan March 2023

“Well equipped property with a lovely welcome pack.”

Great location with scenic walks along the coast and easy access to the town.

- Susan, March 2023

Thank you so much and we are glad you had a lovely time. Property Owner
Theodora December 2022

“This property is beautifully located.”

It was glorious to watch the sun rise on clear winter mornings. The house was comfortable but quite cold during the day. I think the property would be wonderfully suitable for a summer break. For the winter the heating needs to be adjusted and a wider range of TV channels that offer a film channel would be great. However we were between houses and we were able to decompress.

- Theodora, December 2022

Thank you for taking the time to feedback to us. We are sorry that you found the property cold (it was an unbelievably cold snap wasn't it?) however we wish you had overridden the heating and used the two extra radiators provided. We find when we do that, we can get the temperature up and make it cozy. It is helpful to know though and we have reset the basic ambient temperature for future guests. As regards the TV channels, most of our guests seem to use NETFLIX and other providers when they stay. Otherwise, yes, you are reliant on the normal channels. You also marked the cleaning down, although you were thrilled when you arrived, I hope that you did order the cleaning throughout your 2 week stay, we leave it to our guests to do that if they wish. Property Owner
Natalie September 2022

“Had a lovely stay in Castle Cove View September 2022.”

Property nice and clean, and everything in good working order. Close to a nice quiet beach and the coast path. Lots of nice country pubs a 10-15 minute drive away (The Fat Badger, The Lugger, The Kings Arms Portesham - all dog friendly).

- Natalie, September 2022

Thank you for your great feedback. Glad you enjoyed Castle Cove View, we love it when we stay. Thanks for info about dog friendly pubs. Property Owner
Karen August 2022

“This was a lovely house in a perfect location.”

We had a great week here. House was lovely and clean and beds were fresh and comfy. Kitchen was well equipped with plenty of utensils etc . To just walk across the road to get to beach was great and the beach was so safe for my grandchildren it was perfect .

- Karen, August 2022

Thank you for your very kind comments. We love the fact that the beach is 'right there' too! Hope to see you again. Property Owner
Sonia August 2022

“Lovely accommodation with one of the best equipped kitchen I’ve encountered.”

The location is superb. The owners were really helpful and the welcome pack was amazing.

- Sonia, August 2022

Thank you for your lovely feedback and glad you liked the welcome pack! Property Owner
Ray July 2022

“Lovey house, perfectly clean.”

Lovely welcome gifts and wine which was very much appreciated. The building work just up the road was no problem and they made very little noise during our stay Its a good 20 minutes walk to the harbour around the coast way and through Nothe gardens but well worth doing for the views and scenery. Would definitely recommend this property and will book again if we go to Weymouth again

- Ray, July 2022

Thank you for this super feedback. We are so pleased you had a good time and completely agree that the walk to town via Nothe gardens is worth it. Looking forward to welcoming you again. Property Owner
Diana July 2022

“Property is in a wonderful position and we had great views across the bay .”

The house was well equipped and the beds were so comfortable I'm thinking of buying the same mattress. The welcome hamper was a wonderful surprise. Very minor issues I think the shower screen in the upstairs bathroom needs replacing very grungy at the bottom and short hosepipe on the outside tap would be useful.

- Diana, July 2022

Thank you for your very positive comments and glad you had a good stay. Yes, the mattress is very comfortable and when we stay we always sleep well. It was on our list to replace the screen in the upstairs bathroom and the hose on the outside tap is a very good idea. Property Owner
Miriam July 2022

“Very comfortable and well equipped property, great view from first floor living room and above.”

Had to park vehicle on public highway after the second night as the birds made such a mess of the car, would not come off at a car wash. Only disappointment was lack of recycling as had to take to amenity site.

- Miriam, July 2022

Thank you for your lovely comments and we are so pleased you enjoyed the position and views. We have explored different avenues to sort the recycling and it is too complicated to manage. Like you, we take it to the recycling in town. The birds are sometimes a pest, but it's hard to predict; often it is fine. Property Owner
Jane June 2022

“Had a fantastic stay at Castle Cove.”

The house is well equipped and comfortable. The location is excellent with beach facilities on the doorstep and a lovely walk into Weymouth/Portland causeway. The building works going on nearby was noticeable but I knew about that when I booked. The little road that the house is on is also quite busy but didn’t find it a problem. Would definitely stay again. Thanks for a lovely break.

- Jane, June 2022

Thank you for your positive feedback and that you enjoyed your stay at Castle Cove View. We look forward to you staying again. Property Owner
Jane April 2022

“A perfect place to stay.”

The property was bright and airy and clean. The house was situated close to all the places you would want to visit when staying in Weymouth, Chesil Beach, Portland Bill, Corfe Castle… I could go on! The beach was a real bonus. So close and so clean. Really handy that we could take the outdoor chairs down to the beach too. That was an unexpected bonus at the house. I and my family would definitely recommend Castle Cove View.

- Jane, April 2022

Thank you so much for your very positive feedback and recommending Castle Cove View. We love the property and always enjoy the time when we are able to visit. Glad you were able to make the most of the sandy beach below the house. Property Owner
Hannah April 2022

“Just back from a wonderful stay at this lovely house.”

An amazing welcome basket when we arrived, the house was spotless and the location incredible.

Karen February 2022

“The house was brilliant, spotless!”

We had no issues with the TV. The hamper was extra special and a lovely touch. Thanks for the warning about the building site as it was noisy and congested at times, glad we were out of season otherwise it would have been a major issue. The only issue we had was the amount of bird muck we had on the car each day from parking in the allocated spot. We had to clean the car each day so we could see to drive.

- Karen, February 2022

Thank you for your comments, and we are glad you found the house clean and welcoming. We are sorry you were there when the building work was so busy. Hopefully the more major work will be over soon. The developer is working fast to get it done, but of course it is all out of our control..... as are the birds too! It seems to depend when we are there - perhaps the coming Spring made them more annoying! We are sorry they were such a nuisance. Property Owner
Helen December 2021

“Lovely location, property lovely and clean and well appointed with facilities.”

Great for our party of 4 and 2 dogs with the beach opposite and walks at the back of the property. Great New Year with a winter swim thrown in

- Helen, December 2021

Thank you so much for the positive feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed it and were able to enjoy a swim too - very brave! We hope to see you return sometime soon. Property Owner

- Stephen, October 2021

Duly noted, thank you. We love the location of Castle Cove View as well! Glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
April September 2021

“The following is intended as suggestions for improvement rather than complaints as we were very satisfied with the property, especially as we know the area.”

There are three areas which would benefit from attention: 1. The TV in the upstairs bedroom did not work.The owners are aware but this needs attention. The main TV was served by Freesat and the program selection was inadequaute. We would suggest investment in one of the new Sky Glass sets which do notmrequire an external dish but are internet connected. 2. The windows were badly in need of cleaning, both inside and out. We appreciate that with the building work in Old Castle Road there is a lot of dust about but again this needds attention. 3. The groundfloor shower has signs of mould which need attention. I was able to remove some but it may need fresh application of sealant. Otherwise the property was of the high standard we have always had from you and we look forward to seing you again soon!

- April, September 2021

Thank you for your valuable feedback and pleased you enjoyed your stay. We have passed your comments over to the owner who will be addressing all your issues raised. We look forward to welcoming you back to Dream Cottages again soon. Property Owner
Patrick August 2021

“TV reception poor in lounge with no BBC.”

In bedroom TV not working.. Only one toilet roll per bedroom and one black bin bag not enough for weeks holiday. The location was brilliant, beach on doorstep. We had a great holiday and would recommend.

- Patrick, August 2021
Christine August 2021

“Wonderful views from the house, and brilliant location.”

Family could walk over to the quiet, private beach with bare feet to swim in the bay. Perfect family holiday.

Kate June 2021

“I stayed at Castle Cove View for a week early June with my family and 2 year old son.”

The house completely exceeded my expectations, it was beautifully decorated and exceptionally clean throughout with soaps, cleaning products and dishwasher tablets provided. The view from the lounge window across the sea towards Portland is beautiful. The bedroom on the top floor is huge with a lovely en suite and space to put up a travel cot. There was a stair gate on the middle floor which was really helpful for us. We cannot fault anything about the property thank you so much Sue and Tim.

- Kate, June 2021
Jennifer April 2021

“We loved Castle Cove.”

Everything was excellent from the stylish decor to the comfy bed and forceful shower and the plentiful supply of kitchen equipment. The views across to Portland from the first and second floor were lovely and the pretty courtyard a sun trap in the afternoon. A nice pub round the corner and moments from the coast path as well as a short walk to the old harbour with plentiful pubs and restaurants makes it an excellent location. Having dedicated off road parking is also great.

The property

A superbly located townhouse in the popular coastal town of Weymouth with views over the bay and within moments of a beautiful sandy beach.

The property is set over three floors with a generously sized, open plan living, kitchen dining area on the first floor, complete with patio doors and a Juliet balcony showcasing the splendid views towards Portland from the 2nd floor and filling the space with wonderful, natural light.

The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need to cater for your party, cooking up a delicious meal to enjoy together at the dining table before retiring to the comfortable sofas to watch a movie or begin a family fun games night.

The three bedrooms are split across the property, a twin room (2' 6" beds) and double can be found on the ground floor along with a bathroom consisting of a walk in shower, basin and WC, and a king size is located on the top floor boasting spectacular sea views and benefiting from an ensuite with bath, shower over, basin and WC.

The enclosed rear garden is accessed via the ground floor hallway and is a spacious patio area, perfect for a spot of alfresco dining or simply relaxing at the end of your day with a glass of wine whilst planning your next day’s itinerary.

Across the road from the property is a gated private communal garden with a well-kept lawned area with flower and tree borders, complete with a private slipway perfect for launching boats and paddles boards and providing direct access onto Castle Cove beach.

Just two-minutes’ walk from the front door is Sandsfoot Castle, an iconic ruin overlooking Portland harbour and surrounded by picturesque gardens where you can sit and relax while the children look for fish in the pretty pond.

The Rodwell Trail, formerly a railway line, is just moments away and provides a charming walking or cycling route into the town centre in one direction and to Portland in the other.

Weymouth town centre can be reached within an easy 20 minute stroll where you can discover many bars, cafes and restaurants where you can tuck into tasty fish and chips or a traditional Dorset cream tea.

The attractive Georgian esplanade is lined with tourist shops and attractions to keep the whole family entertained from donkey rides, pedalos and amusement arcades.

Wander along the old historic harbour to The Nothe Fort and enjoy a picnic in the glorious gardens or search for marine life in the shallow rock pools before treating yourself to a delicious ice cream from the café or kiosk.

Castle Cove View is the perfect base for a family or group of friends looking to make a memorable holiday on the coast and revel in all that delightful Dorset has to offer.

About the location

CASTLE COVE

Weymouth 2.1 miles; Dorchester 8.8 miles; Lyme Regis 28.5 miles.

Castle Cove is a firm favourite with locals, sitting alongside the Rodwell trail area, Castle Cove Beach is usually uncrowded, and offers safe bathing from its gently sloping shoreline. There are two main beach areas, Castle Cove, new steps to the beach opened early in 2019, and Sandsfoot beach, both with soft golden sand and the vibe of the best kept secret. Sandsfoot castle is just two minutes’ walk from the beach where you will find castle ruins, pretty, award-winning gardens and a small café, offering snacks, drinks and ice-creams. Accessed off Old Castle Road in Weymouth, this area is a real treat for those who want to be away from the buzz and bright lights of the traditional Weymouth Seafront, and yet close enough to venture there when they choose. When you are on the beach you could be forgiven for thinking you are miles from town, and yet you are only within easy reach of the old Harbour and access to Weymouth town centre. If you want to know where the locals would recommend you spend your beach days, then Castle Cove and Sandsfoot beaches are it.

Please Note: Twin room has 2'6" beds
