Sandcastles Reviews

Leslie
The most beautiful house so close to the sea. Everything you needed and more. Everyone loved it especially the hot tub. Dream holiday. Thank you to Simon our host
Great house , location , everything you need was provided, would happily return.
Carole
Our weeks stay at Sandcastles was amazing, the house was very clean, well furnished and spacious. The house was perfect for the 7 of us, my children enjoyed the hot tub and the amenities were top notch. Simon was very friendly, polite and helpful, we will certainly be back again!
We had the best week at sandcastles it was beautiful from start to finish. The house itself was perfect for us all. We will definitely be back and would recommend this house to everyone. The location is perfect. Nice touches with robes flowers milk and cleaning materials. The only thing I would suggest is a highchair a plastic wipe down one from ikea would save loads of mess from little ones.
Amanda
We loved our stay and all had a great time the house is beautiful and in a perfect situation for visiting Dorset, the south west costal path and for Weymouth both the beach and town. blackout linings added to bedroom curtains, may be an idea, not a complaint just a fine tune Enjoyed our stay even though it was wet and windy we were warm and cosy
This property was fabulous! Very spacious and spotlessly clean. Very easy booking process with Dream Cottages, and good travel directionsparking recommendations. The owner was very friendly he called to check everything was okay and has been so helpful in posting back keys we left behind.
Verity
Lovely house, well equipped, bunk bed mattresses were a little lumpy and the bathroom doors could use some locks, but we had a fabulous time. The hot tub was very well maintained, everything was catered for that you dont normally get in a holiday let. Just a wonderful property. Thank you
Lauren
We stayed here for a new years holiday. The house is absolutely beautiful and perfectly situated. It's fantastically equipped and they really have thought of everything to make you stay as easy and pleasurable as possible. We would book again without hesitation. I cannot rate this high enough!
Sandcastles is a spacious , clean and comfortable house for all ages . Well equipped with all you need for a week stay in Weymouth. Ideal position for the beach and town. Hot tub was a bonus !!!! We will definitely recommend this holiday property to all our family and friends
josephine
We had a lovely holiday at Sandcastles, the house was very comfortable, very clean, and everything we needed was provided, plus extra's which were very much appreciated, like Flowers, Wine, Milk etc when we arrived.
Lovely home spotlessly clean and very well equipped, would have liked to stay longer
We have had the best time on holiday at Sandcastles. The house is absolutely lovely, very spacious, clean and has everything you need! The hot tub was a very welcome bonus to relax in at the end of a busy day with a glass of fizz. The flowers, prosecco and milk were a very thoughtful touch. We found some lovely places to eat, the Dorset burger company, the Gloucester and the George all superb! We met Simon as we were leaving he was lovely, thank you for a fabulous memory filled family holiday home, we will definitely be returning
Sandcastles is an immaculate and luxurious home from home. The decor and furnishings are of a high quality and the owner has equipped the house with everything you could possibly need for a relaxing stay. The location is ideal for the town and seafront and we had more than enough space indoors for 5 adults to live in comfort, and the garage was a great bonus with room for car, roof box and large inflatable dinghy. Couldn't have asked for anything more.
Lesley
We have just enjoyed a wonderful holiday at Sandcastles. The flowers, bubbly and milk were a nice welcoming touch. It was really clean and well equipped, although kitchen wise a large chopping board and salad bowl would have been welcome. Broadband was efficient and the car parking for 2 cars worked well for us.
We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at sandcastles, it was very clean and well ... We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at sandcastles, it was very clean and well equipped, the only negative would be that the mattress in the two double bedroom s could do with being replaced
Property was very homely and comfortable. Loved the kitchen and the brightness of it. The only down side was there are only 2 chairs for outside. There were 4 of us but we did have 2 chairs of our own to use. Seating 9 outside would be quite difficult. Massive bonus having the garage for the car as parking close by anywhere is impossible. . We had a perfect stay and would definitely go back. Theres plenty of everything in every room.
Our family had a lovely stay at Sandcastles. The location was very convenient and the fact that we could park in a locked garage was a bonus. The house itself is well equipped with plenty of towels and extra throws for the beds, which we needed as the weather was chilly last week. There is a plentiful supply of crockery, however, we would have been grateful for some large pasta bowls and a few more egg cups. The bedrooms and bathrooms served our purposes well, but the towel rail in the 1st floor main bathroom wasnt connected to any power and, with a lack of hooks, we found it was difficult to get our used towels dry. We all enjoyed a few sessions in the hot tub which is in a covered area in the courtyard garden. All in all, we would recommend Sandcastles to families. There is plenty of room for two families of four. Thank you, Simon, for a very nice stay.

Dorset Teddy Bear Museum - DT1 1JU
about 6 Miles
This family orientated museum is dedicated to Teddy Bears both old and new Edward Bear and his family of people sized bears are one of the main attractions.  You can buy teddy bear gifts from the quaint shop including top notch brands.  The Steiff Teddy Bear and Merrythought bears are very popular.  Open 7 days a week all year round (except 25th and 26th December) this is a perfect all weather place to visit.
Kingston Maurward Gardens and Animal Park - DT2 8PY
about 7 Miles
Kingston Maurward Gardens and Animal Park is a magical place to visit with grand gardens and plenty of animals to meet.  From goats and ponies to alpacas and pot bellied pigs this attraction is excellent value for money.  You can feel free to explore the grounds too which are especially lovely on sunny days.  You will see majestic floral displays, stone terraces, a temple and even a lake.
Monkey World - BH20 6HH
about 11 Miles
Monkey World is not only a local attraction but the work they carry out is amazing.  Rescuing and rehabilitating monkeys and assisting governments around the world to stop the smuggling of primates are just some of the purposes of the centre. You get to see the primates themselves many of which have become famous from appearing on the TV show Monkey World - a documentary about this place. Open year round we think this is one of best attractions in Dorset and you even get the chance to adopt a monkey if you choose.

The perfect place to visit on a rainy day this large Sealife Centre is currently offering 2 tickets for £15.00 when you book online.
