The property is excellent for people who are seeking some quite and would like to stay in short driving distance from Weymouth/Dorchester and want to enjoy what the area has to offer. The garden surrounding the property is gorgeous and a friendly doggo might welcome you if you are lucky enough. Karen made sure to provide in time all the details required on how to find and access the property, along with the parking space. It was probably the most recently renovated/ well kept and clean property i have had the chance to stay in the last 3 years. I will definitely keep an eye on it for my future visits at jurrasic coast.
