Weymouth Whimsy

Just minutes from the beach, this colourful terraced home makes a cheerful base for a British seaside escape. Inside, the kitchen-diner sets the tone — full of personality and perfect for laid-back breakfasts — while the cosy living room and two comfy bedrooms (a double and a twin) promise restful evenings. Out back, the little courtyard is just the spot for your morning coffee or a sundowner after a day on the sand. With Weymouth’s harbour, shops and seafood spots all within easy reach, you could happily leave the car behind — though if you do take to the road, the wild beauty of the Jurassic Coast awaits.

Home truths:
*There’s a Nespresso machine in the kitchen, but you’ll need to bring your own pods.
*You’ll also need to bring firewood, kindling and matches if you plan to use the wood-burning stove.
*There are steps up to the bathroom. It might not be the best option for those with limited mobility.
*The twin room can be set up as a super-king on request — just let your host know in advance.
*There’s no dedicated parking, but on-street parking can usually be found on nearby roads.
*This home is short on wardrobe space, so we'd recommend packing light.
