“Have been back here a few times as it is perfect for us as a family”
Mrs Andrews January 2020

“This is a lovely property, and the surrounding area is fantastic - will definitely be on our return to list.”

A little light on cooking dishes but that didn't spoil it for us as thankfully we took some of our own.
Miss Bradshaw November 2019

“Beautiful cottages in a quaint village.”

The cottage was of very high standard. Very spacious, clean and situated very close to the sea side town of Weymouth. Would certainly recommend this property and I was very pleased to have stayed here and I will definitely be making a booking for next year. I am a regular visitor to Dorset and this accommodation is by far the best I have stayed in.
Mrs Legg September 2019

“The only downside was checkout at 10.”

00 which I found a bit early for 6 people to get ready and eat breakfast. Would have liked a little longer but the stay was superb and loved the quietness and the lovely area.
Mrs Robinson August 2019

“Everything I needed was available I wasn’t expecting the welcome pack everything from washing liquid to tin foil The area was quiet ideal for visiting the local area.”

My family had two of the cottages next to each other, the children enjoyed popping next door!
Mrs Street July 2019

“Lovely setting- Upwey is a charmingly quiet village, with pleasant walks and the cottage is ideally situated to explore the coast.”

A peaceful courtyard and garden to the rear were ideal for our little ones to play safely. Inside the cottage is airy, bright and modern and four adults, 3 children and a dog had plenty of space to chill.
Mrs Woodward March 2019

“Lovely holiday, cottage spacious and had everything we could need, private garden which was brilliant for our dog, close to Weymouth but quiet location with some lovely walks, highly recommended.”
Mr Stone February 2019

“Lovely stay in a wonderful village.”
Mr Mitchell September 2018

“Our family rented three of the five properties in this development one for long weekend the other two for week each for wedding.”

Families arrived from Alaska, Pennsylvania and Glasgow this was a real jewel find it was truly perfect in every way, fabulous size of properties for gathering facilities perfect and what a great location for seeing the surrounding area we will definitely return.
Mrs Kitchen August 2018

“We had a very good week in Casterbridge but we would only recommend it if you were prepared to accept the dog hair covered rug and the dog smells both in the bedrooms and downstairs.”

this was a shame as the cottage was in a lovely area and well situated for coast and country. We would also like to see a clothes airer and more cooking equipment for people who do not eat out all the time. We were surprised that there were no cleaning materials provided as we like to leave a cottage as we found it, and keep the kitchen and bathrooms clean during the week. We were also surprised at the lack of a pint of milk on arrival as we have found in all other cottages we have been in over the last 40 years.

“Fantastic family cottage”

We have just spent a long weekend here with two teenagers. Smart tvs and hairdryers in every bedroom are brilliant for families. Two very good sized bathrooms. Very well equipped kitchen. Light and airy open plan layout. We are already planning another stay!

“Billiant modern cottage - great facilities - great location - wonderful wifi!”

Just spent a brilliant week here in this new modern cottage. Great location for our visit to walking the coastal paths - in fact very pretty walks straight from the door. Very close to Weymouth and Dorchester with their excellent restaurants and entertainments. Lovely facilities and very well layed out accommodation which worked really well for 4 teenage girls and my wife and myself. They had their own rooms and we had a lovely separate double room with excellent en suite. Kitchen and lounge layout works really well with plenty of room to cook and eat altogether with lots of light and double height open plan spaces. Kitchen well fitted and stocked with equipment. Lots of well lit space outside so very easy for our dog. Plenty of parking. There is a fibre wifi with more than enough bandwidth to entertain all of us with films and games during some stormy weather. The owner Helen was immediately responsive to any enquiries. We had a great time and would certainly recommend this place to anyone. We will certainly be going back.

About the location

UPWEY

Dorchester 5 miles; Weymouth 4 miles.

The picturesque village of Upwey lies just four miles north of Weymouth, nestling beneath the Dorset Ridgeway, and takes its name from the shallow chalk stream, the River Wey, which bubbles up here from an underground spring. Upwey is well-known for its Wishing Well, where George III once sought the benefits of the natural spring water. It is now a delightful tea room, serving lunches and traditional cream teas. There are a number of footpaths leading directly from the village to miles of unspoilt countryside, and close by is the market town of Dorchester, Thomas Hardy’s ’Casterbridge’. An easy drive or bus ride takes you to the popular seaside resort of Weymouth offering visitors glorious golden sandy beaches, excellent watersports facilities and a bustling harbour. An attractive village location and an ideal place to escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
