“It was the perfect place to stay.”

We stayed on a group of new barns. Parking for two cars. Six homes built on at horseshoe - each with a small garden with barbecue and seating and a large area around. The house was well designed for us. Large living area with kitchen, dining table and sofas and tv, with two bedrooms and bathroom on the ground floor and one bedroom and bathroom upstairs. All spacious and well equipped. From the house, there are lots of footpaths and Weymouth is a few minutes away with all its shops. ...

“We spent a very enjoyable week at Casterbridge- A good base just outside Weymouth to explore the Jurassic coast and the lovely beaches.”

Great communication with the owner Helen. Well equipped modern cottage and dog friendly with excellent wifi. Definitely recommend and would return.

“The Casterbridge is a beautiful, modern, spacious accommodation in a lovely setting with a lovely communal garden.”

We went as a family of 6 adults and had a really good holiday. Because of COVID the check in was 5pm and check out was 9am. However there were aspects of the cottage that definitely needed more attention ie the cooker. Overall fantastic experience. Would definitely recommend and hopefully will return.

“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.

These five wonderful holiday homes are grouped around an attractive shingled courtyard and are the perfect base for couples, families or friends who wish to enjoy all that Dorset has to offer.

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.
