• "A very and clean and comfortable holiday home with lovely views across to Portland."

  The quiet and clean beach was only across the road and down some wooden steps. We saw a beautiful sunrise! The property had all we needed with a lovely welcome pack on arrival and great walks from the door. Beds were very comfortable and white towels were soft.

• "A lovely house, nicely decorated, very well equipped and in a good location."

  A short walk to the castle gardens and to small local beaches and a 20-30 minute pleasant walk along the old railway line into weymouth and, the other way, towards chesil beach. Friendly communication from the owners and an unexpected welcome pack with some chocolates and biscuits was well received. The whole house is in good condition. The twin beds downstairs are quite narrow. The double room is good and the master suite is very nice. There are sea views from the living area and from the master bedroom, and the kitchen is well equipped.

• "Absolutely lovely holiday home."

  We stayed here with our two children, 16 and 12 and had a great week. Location is perfect. About 20-30 minutes walk into Weymouth, easy access to the Rodwell Trail and walks to Portland and the South-West coastal path. The house itself is really well laid out, with a beautiful master bedroom and en-suite at the top of the house. The open plan kitchen and dining area is particularly well-designed for the times we ate in, fully equipped and with a good sized fridge freezer, fullsize cooker, and plenty of worktop space. We had good communication with the owners and there was also a lovely welcome basket waiting for us - thankyou! It was great to be able to walk over the road to the beach and have a swim. It’s not too crowded with soft sand and shallow water, perfect for paddling and swimming. Previous reviews mentioned noise from building works but this may have finished because we didn’t hear any during our stay. All in all, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Castle Cove view. It’s a perfect holiday home, and we will be back.

  Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback, we are so happy you have had a great holiday at Castle Cove View. When we manage to get to the house, we love having the sandy beach so close by. We look forward to you returning in the future. Property Owner

• "Really nice property."

  Felt very fresh and clean when we arrived, had everything we needed. Lovely touch to have a welcome pack waiting for us, we all enjoyed that. Location is amazing. Path down to the beach 20 yards from the front door and a 20 minute walk into Weymouth. Fantastic master bedroom with ensuite and views overlooking the sea. We loved the outside seating area surrounded by palm trees and lovely early afternoon sun. Communication with the owners was all very good. Would definitely stay there again and highly recommend.

  Thank you so much for these lovely comments. We really do appreciate them. So glad you had a great time at Castle Cove and in Weymouth and we look forward to you returning sometime. Property Owner

  Welcome pack on arrival was the best we've ever had, including crisps, chocolates, biscuits, a bottle of prosseco and a bag of treats for the dogs. Tea, coffee, sugar and milk were also there on our arrival. Great location for many attractions and a fish and chip shop, pub and shop within a short walking distance. Would definitely return if staying in this area again.

• "We've had a really lovely week at Castle View."

  The weather was fantastic so we went swimming and out on our two kayaks most days. This is a wonderful area. The house is very comfortable and had everything we needed. It was lovely to arrive to a big box of treats and they were much appreciated! We took the dog up the road to the pretty Sandsfoot Castle gardens regularly and enjoyed a coffee and pastry from the little cafe there. There are two points of access to the beach literally opposite the house. A private key was provided to open big gates to a slipway that is only used by very local neighbours, who said it was safe to store store our kayaks on the grass at the top of the slipway. This was very convenient, and completely safe. The public access is adjacent and is more winding with a few steps, but both bring you out onto a beautiful sandy little cove. The sea is clear and has flat sandy access to the water. It's a dog friendly beach all year round. Ideal for swimming especially at high tide, but the water doesn't shelve so it would be great for little people too. We walked over the hill to Weymouth - about a 45 minute pretty walk. Had a lovely brunch at Billy Winter's beach bar & diner (opposite Chesil beach) on the causeway to Portland. Also had great gluten free fish & chips from the Cod Fathers chip shop next to the Co-op only a 5 minute walk away. Castle Cove is a little gem and we hope to return!

  Thank you for your lovely feedback, you highlight many of the advantages of this spot. Everyone benefits from the committed volunteers who help keep the little beach clean, and as you say, the sea is lovely and clear too. We hope to welcome you back soon. Property Owner

• "Lovely house, literally across the road from the beach."

  The private parking space was handy too (enough for two cars). The gated private access to the beach and private gated garden area across the road to chill out was also very nice. Close to amenities, local cafe, pub, co-op and chip shop (very nice) were all within 5 - 8 min walk. Only a 5 - 10 min drive to get into the Brewers Quay or the main town or try the local walking trail, Rodwell trail, etc. House had good views of the sea from 1st and 2nd floors. Nicely decorated, all mod cons, washing machine, combi boiler, cooker, showers, bath, 2 x wc's, tv in Lounge and bedroom. We had no issues at all everything worked fine. The welcome pack was a nice touch and very moorish. Clean bedsheets/towels, etc, even had wash machine tabs, soap, cleaning clothes, washing up liquid, cleaning spray, tea towell and loo rolls, The place had everything. Not quite 5 star, but deffo 4 star. We would definitely stay again, and would happily recommend this accommodation. Thank you. 8-)

• "Had a lovely stay at Castle Cove."

  The house was beautifully clean and smelt very fresh when we arrived. The welcome basket was very much appreciated. The location is fantastic; the close proximity to such a lovely beach was wonderful. The only minor complaint was the single bed was a bit narrow for an adult, but this didn’t spoil our stay.

  Thank you so much for these lovely comments and we are so glad that you enjoyed your stay at Castle Cove View. We do understand that the single beds are a bit narrow for an adult, but we felt that space to move around the room was the priority (and the room is often used by children).

  House had everything we needed for out stay and is warm and comfortable. The location is excellent, walk into town either via the Rodwell Trail which runs behind the house or along roads that follow the coast and brings you in to the Old Harbour. The sheltered beach a minute over the road from the property was used every day but us in December and is the real icing on the cake for our group. Lovely quiet location as well.

  Our welcome pack on arrival was such a pleasant surprise, and we had a lovely handwritten letter too, letting us know about a few local bits...we felt so welcome. Personal contact was made by the owners, which gave us the feeling they were happy to help if necessary - this was very handy on check out, as I'd left my sunglasses and was able to send a text to ask if I could go back and grab them, which was responded to within minutes. The personal touches made the holiday so special and I can't thank Sue and Tim enough for providing such a wonderful base for our lovely holiday.

  Perfect for us with our daughter and two young grandchildren. The house was clean, comfortable and well equipped.

• "The house was generally OK, but our stay was tainted by the down stairs area."

  I booked this house as I understood that it was under new ownership and was expecting it to be have been upgraded. The toilet /shower room, back garden and back double room are in dire need of a deep clean and repair. The toilet seat was far too small for the basin so didn't sit correctly. There was mould/mildew and dirt round the dated shower cubical. The back garden/yard needs a good clean and tidy up. The back bedroom cupboard/wardrobe was extremely dirty on the floor round the chest of draws, it looks like it hasn't been touched for years.

  Thank you for your feedback. We are unsure where you got the idea that it was under new ownership and up graded, however as you can see from our previous visitors, there have been very few complaints. We accept that the garden could have done with some attention, for which we apologise. We have now tidied the garden and patio and it is looking good. As regards the mould/mildew in the shower and the cupboard, we have spoken to the cleaning team and it is all sorted. If the space is not ventilated it is sometimes hard to keep it as fresh as we might like. Property Owner

• "This property is beautifully located."

  It was glorious to watch the sun rise on clear winter mornings. The house was comfortable but quite cold during the day. I think the property would be wonderfully suitable for a summer break. For the winter the heating needs to be adjusted and a wider range of TV channels that offer a film channel would be great. However we were between houses and we were able to decompress.

  Thank you for taking the time to feedback to us. We are sorry that you found the property cold (it was an unbelievably cold snap wasn't it?) however we wish you had overridden the heating and used the two extra radiators provided. We find when we do that, we can get the temperature up and make it cozy. It is helpful to know though and we have reset the basic ambient temperature for future guests. As regards the TV channels, most of our guests seem to use NETFLIX and other providers when they stay. Otherwise, yes, you are reliant on the normal channels. You also marked the cleaning down, although you were thrilled when you arrived, I hope that you did order the cleaning throughout your 2 week stay, we leave it to our guests to do that if they wish.

  We had no issues with the TV. The hamper was extra special and a lovely touch. Thanks for the warning about the building site as it was noisy and congested at times, glad we were out of season otherwise it would have been a major issue. The only issue we had was the amount of bird muck we had on the car each day from parking in the allocated spot. We had to clean the car each day so we could see to drive.

  Thank you for your comments, and we are glad you found the house clean and welcoming. We are sorry you were there when the building work was so busy. Hopefully the more major work will be over soon. The developer is working fast to get it done, but of course it is all out of our control..... as are the birds too!

  There are three areas which would benefit from attention: 1. The TV in the upstairs bedroom did not work.The owners are aware but this needs attention. The main TV was served by Freesat and the program selection was inadequaute. We would suggest investment in one of the new Sky Glass sets which do notmrequire an external dish but are internet connected. 2. The windows were badly in need of cleaning, both inside and out. We appreciate that with the building work in Old Castle Road there is a lot of dust about but again this needds attention. 3. The groundfloor shower has signs of mould which need attention. I was able to remove some but it may need fresh application of sealant. Otherwise the property was of the high standard we have always had from you and we look forward to seing you again soon!

A nice pub round the corner and moments from the coast path as well as a short walk to the old harbour with plentiful pubs and restaurants makes it an excellent location. Having dedicated off road parking is also great.
