  • "Would have appreciated a bedside lamp in all of the bedrooms — not just the master — and in the lounge area too."

    Not everyone wants to have overhead lights on in the evening when they are relaxing.

  • "We are just returning from a week's holiday in 16 Wakeling Island."

    We had a such a lovely stay with our 4 children thoroughly enjoying all of the facilities and sports' equipment on offer. It was great having such easy access to the canal to make use of our own paddle board too. The house was super clean with everything we needed for our stay enabling us to cook for our family for the duration. Owing to the un favourable weather and also the excitement of the England football matches we were also delighted to make use of the comforts of the living area, games and TV screen. We really enjoyed the walks and exploring the wildlife. All in all, we really enjoyed our trip.

    Dear Andrew I’m really glad that you had a lovely time at Agua de Plata. Hopefully you will want to return soon. Best wishes David Property Owner

  • "Beautiful house in a very tranquil environment, house had everything we needed for our stay, close to some of the most beautiful areas of the country."

    The resort had a lovely gym and pool that we were able to use and the coffee bar made some amazing cocktails. The lady at the bar was very polite and happy to help with anything

About the location

DORCHESTER

Weymouth 7 miles.

A trip to Dorset is not complete without visiting the market town of Dorchester, with its Roman roads, museums and a wide selection of pubs and restaurants. Enjoy a scenic walk around Maiden Castle, the largest hillfort in England, or visit the County Museum which has a room devoted to Thomas Hardy, born just two miles away in Bockhampton. Just seven miles away are the glorious gently shelving beaches and picturesque harbour of Weymouth, and the rugged peninsula of Portland, linked to the mainland by Chesil Beach, part of the breathtaking World Heritage Coastline. In fact, you’ll find yourself so intoxicated by Dorset’s magic spell, you won’t want to return home at the end of your stay!
