Fisherbridge Cottage

About this property

Enjoying a fantastic location within the coastal village of Preston, in Weymouth, Dorset is this lovely stone-fronted, detached cottage, Fisherbridge Cottage. Welcoming seven guests to relish an idyllic seascape, Fisherbridge Cottage boasts close proximity to a wide range of amenities, including three pubs and two convenience stores which are just moments away, a bright and airy interior, as well as an enclosed garden and off-road parking guaranteeing a homely and stress-free stay. The beach at Bowleaze Cove is an easy walk from the cottage, while the gorgeous sandy beach at Weymouth and the bustling harbour with its selection of restaurants and shops are a short drive. Cross the threshold to discover a thoughtfully-appointed sitting room, embellished with a woodburning stove and Smart TV as well as nautical themed décor throughout. You are guaranteed to truly inhabit the peacefulness of a coastal retreat here. Kick-back and relax as the designated chef prepares a feast in the fully-fitted kitchen, to be enjoyed at the dining table that can be extended to seat up to eight, as you toast to a fabulous holiday over a bottle of fizz, or two. Take advantage of the handy dishwasher and make washing up a distant memory, whilst a washing machine and tumble dryer guarantees your holiday wardrobe remains feeling fresh. When the sky grows dark, retreat to a sumptuous family bathroom and indulge a long soak in the tub or complete your evening skincare routine in the master en-suite shower room ahead of sinking into a plush double bed to rejuvenate before another day of exploring. From your doorstep, you’ll arrive at a whole host of family-friendly attractions, including the sweeping sands of Bowleaze Cove, Nothe Fort – Weymouth’s historic sea fort, Sandworld, a unique collection of sand sculptures, and the SEA LIFE Centre Weymouth, where you can expand your knowledge of marine life. The Jurassic Coast offers some stunning walks. You can walk from the cottage to the coast path at Bowleaze Cove where you can carry on to the Smugglers Inn at Osmington Mills or enjoy a walk on the coast around the lighthouse at Portland Bill, just a short drive away. Further attractions include the hill figure of King George III cut into the limestone of Osmington Hill dubbed Osmington White Horse, as well as Lodmoor Country Park and the National Trust owned Max Gate, the former home of Thomas Hardy which can be located in Dorchester. Travelling towards Salisbury, enjoy a tour of the Salisbury Museum, bask in the magnificent architecture of the Salisbury Cathedral, or relish a picnic on the grounds of Harnham Water Meadows. Or head towards Poole and experience pretty Lulworth Cove, Corfe Castle and the beautiful beach at Studland Bay. Experience all of this and more at Fisherbridge Cottage.

The beautiful beach resort of Weymouth is only one mile away from Preston, a little seaside community with a variety of shops and great pubs.
