It serves as a hub for recreational boating, with numerous pleasure craft, yachts, and fishing boats moored along the quayside. Visitors can take leisurely walks along the promenade, enjoying the scenic views and watching boats come and go. The harbour is also home to Weymouth's iconic lifting bridge, known as the Town Bridge, which spans the entrance to the inner harbour. The bridge opens periodically to allow boats to pass through, creating a fascinating spectacle for onlookers. With its picturesque setting, lively atmosphere, and historical significance, Weymouth Harbour is a delightful place to visit, whether you're seeking a leisurely stroll, a taste of fresh seafood, or a glimpse into the town's maritime heritage. The cottage is well situated for exploring the local area, and lies within easy reach of the The Jurassic Coast UNESCO world heratige site, and is just 5 miles from the county town of Dorchester.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy

Very pleasant place, centrally situated close to restaurants and pubs and yet tranquil and undisturbed. Clean, spacious with every facilities needed and still very "British", as we like it. Perfect for a family with two kids or for two couples. Can indeed recommend this apartment for a weeklong stay. We got around by bus & train but a car shouldn't be a problem, lots of parkings in the surroundings.
