Art-Filled 2-Bed, Suntrap Garden, 2 Min to Beach

An art-filled coastal home two minutes from Weymouth's beach, with a walled suntrap garden and hand-painted murals by my sister throughout. It's a house with a bit of soul — five years of slowly layering it with the things that actually matter: a deep bath for long soaks, soft bedding, fast Wi-Fi, proper wine glasses, and the small thoughtful touches that make a stay feel easy. A base for sea swims, coastal walks, Sunday roasts, or a slow weekend with nowhere to be.

Home in Winterborne Whitechurch

No.3

No.3 is a self-contained property which was the extension of the original farm cottage built in 1907, now part of the hosts’ residence (number 4). It has it’s own separate access off a quiet unclassified road leading out of the village of Winterborne Whitechurch with off-road parking. The property has been adapted to provide all the comforts for a quiet enjoyable stay but public transport is infrequent so a car is recommended.
