Upwey, located in Dorset in the South West of England, is an intriguing cottage that can accommodate up to 5 guests. Situated just 4 miles north of the bustling town of Weymouth, Upwey offers easy access to the historic old harbour, Nothe Forte, and sandy beaches. The town also boasts a variety of pubs, cafes, and restaurants for visitors to enjoy. For those seeking outdoor activities, the surrounding rolling hills provide numerous walking routes, including the South West Coast Path.
Within a 10-mile radius of the cottage, guests can explore popular attractions such as the lighthouse at Portland Bill, Bowleaze Cove, Chesil Beach, Dorchester, and the picturesque village of Abbotsbury. The cottage itself features a country-style kitchen with modern amenities, an open plan lounge/diner with an inviting open fire, and three cozy bedrooms - a single, a double, and a king-size bedroom with an en suite WC. The first floor has areas of restricted head height, adding to its character and charm.
Outside, a narrow path with a chalk stream running alongside leads to a courtyard garden with a patio area offering countryside views and the soothing sounds of the stream. Guests can relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings, but should take care due to uneven surfaces and the proximity of the stream. Ample roadside parking is available in front of the property, subject to availability. Upwey provides a comfortable and convenient base for exploring the beauty of Dorset and the South West coast.
