We loved it! Especially loved the small beach a short walk away! And all the extra detailed walks and information books helped us lots! Thanks again for having us!
Everything was absolutely lovely. Really nice comfortable property and closer to everything we wanted. We would definitely come again. Thank you so much
House was exactly as described home from home, great location for exploring the area. Was our first time in Weymouth but will definitely be coming back
It was very easy (with Google Maps' help) to access and enjoy several National historic sites. This was a great central location to find nature and history in any direction! The cottage itself was perfect, too. My only wish was traveling when it would be a bit warmer to enjoy the backyard!
This is a very comfortable flat, with a great location for exploring the area. Very easy access to the walking trail, which is perfect for runs or coastal walks. We greatly enjoyed our stay!
