description
Weymouth self catering accommodation: Charming traditional stone cottage at the heart of the original fishing village close to harbour and marina.
The cottage has a comfortable double bedroom and bedroom with bunk beds on the middle floor and a twin bedroom on the top floor. Good size lounge and dining area, tastefully decorated, leading to a well-equipped kitchen. Outside, there is a large paved garden, ideal for evening barbeques and to enjoy a glass of wine with the catch of the day!
A perfect base to explore the seaside town of Weymouth, the dramatic Portland peninsula, World Heritage Coast and Dorset countryside. The harbour, Brewer’s Quay, bistros and bars are a short walk away and the Nothe is nearby offering gentle walks, stunning views, Newton’s Cove for swimming and the pier for fishing. Excellent shopping facilities in easy reach and the town centre, main seafront and beach are just over the town bridge.
The owners aim to make visitors feel relaxed and at home to ensure they can make the most of their holiday in Weymouth. To this end the cottage and its facilities are good quality, well maintained, attractive and comfortable. This approach is underpinned by a commitment to ethical and sustainable sourcing. Fair-trade furnishings and environmentally friendly furniture, appliances and products have been provided where possible.

how to find our Weymouth self catering accommodation
We are 10-15 minutes walk from Weymouth’s train and bus stations. how this holiday makes a difference
|
The owners of the cottage are committed to fair-trade and sustainability. Furniture, curtains, bedding, towels, other textiles and some kitchen equipment is fairly-traded ensuring those in the Global South receive a fair wage and other community benefits. Fairtrade tea and coffee are provided, and guests are greeted with a Fairtrade bottle of wine!
Other furniture, for example beds, are sourced in this country either by local craftsmen or worker-owned co-operatives. Some chairs are ‘re-claimed’ and re-upholstered locally. Many products have been purchased for their recycled content (eg glassware, stationery), organic content (eg bedding, mattresses) and FSC accreditation (eg garden furniture, beds, trellis, wooden spoons!).  Recycling facilities are provided (glass, paper, plastics, card, food). Energy use is reduced through low-energy light bulbs, A rated appliances and wind-up torches. Renewable energy is supplied by ‘Good Energy’. A water meter has been fitted to encourage water efficiency. We encourage our visitors to travel to Weymouth via train or coach, if convenient and promote many local attractions accessible on foot, by bus (an open topper to Portland!) or by train. |
Tourism can be good and bad for destinations & local people. We carefully screen every holiday against our criteria for responsible travel. 'Look behind the brochure' to find how each holiday makes a difference (see left). We don't claim to be perfect - there is no global accreditation - but we've led the way since 2001 and screened 1000's of holidays. We invite every traveller to write a review about their experiences and responsible tourism. This valuable feedback is sent to the people who run the holidays. We keep a very close eye on it and take off holidays that don't live up to our standards. |
