Sparrows Nest

Sparrows Nest stands on a residential road two miles from the walking routes that thread along the Jurassic Coast. Weymouth's harbour and beach lie a short drive away, along with Dorchester's museums and historical sites; Poole Quay and Athelhampton House are also within easy reach. The cottage itself is a semi-detached property with three bedrooms—a double, two singles, and another single—and one bathroom with a bath and shower. It sleeps five and is yours alone for the duration of your stay.

Downstairs, the living and dining room connects to a kitchen equipped with an electric oven, gas hob, microwave and dishwasher, plus a separate toilet. Upstairs are the bedrooms and bathroom. A garage houses a washing machine, tumble dryer and freezer. The enclosed garden has a patio with furniture, a bike store for exploring on two wheels, and parking for one car on the drive; additional spaces are available on the road. One dog stays free. Electricity and bed linen are included in the rental; gas central heating covers the colder months. The patio has a drop to one side, so take care there. No smoking inside.
