The property's location is frequently praised for being close to the harbour, town, and amenities, while also offering a peaceful setting. Its convenience for both dog walks and access to local attractions is highly valued by guests.
Guests find The Pines comfortable, often describing it as a home away from home. Some guests, however, have mentioned that the sofas and mattresses could be improved, suggesting a slight deduction in the comfort score.
The property is well-equipped, but there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as problems with the hot water, TV reception, and bathroom sink. These comments indicate that while facilities are generally good, there is room for improvement.

About this property
The Pines is a modern two-bedroom end of terrace property, situated in the highly sought-after residential area called "The Maltings", which was built on part of the former Devenish Brewery site. The location is an ideal holiday base to explore Weymouth's harbour and beach. The property lies within a three-minute walk of Newton's Cove with its fascinating rock pools that children love to explore at low tide. From here, you can walk all the way around Nothe Gardens and Old Fort, then back along the harbour and into town. The fashionable Hope Square and harbour area with its varied choice of eating venues is a four-minute walk from the house and leads you onwards on your way to the hub of Weymouth town centre and the Georgian promenade. The main sandy beach with its shallow waters invites young children to splash around and make sandcastles while the sea gently laps on the soft golden shore.
Weymouth offers entertainment for all ages; the Pavilion features shows during the summer season and the beach with its various attractions will keep your children amused from dawn to dusk.
This well-presented property has the advantage of a large patio and stepped garden area (toddlers will require supervision) and is perfect for families, couples or those with pets due to the rear garden being fully enclosed. Ascend six steps to the delightful deck and spend some time just sitting and relaxing or reading a book in this suntrap spot.
The ground floor living space is very comfortable, you can relax on the sofa after a long day's exploring, and open the patio doors to the garden whilst listening to the birds singing outside. Rustle up a delicious meal in the adjoining kitchen, which could be eaten alfresco on the patio table and chairs.
Upstairs, the master bedroom with king size bed looks out over the peaceful rear garden, and boasts a TV in this calm, light space.
It's a lovely holiday home for families with children and/or pets to enjoy.
The ever popular resort of Weymouth makes an outstanding year-round holiday destination, with a wide variety of attractions on offer, appealing to all tastes and ages. The glorious golden sandy beach with its shallow waters provide excellent facilities for all kinds of watersports, whilst from the picturesque, bustling harbour you can take regular fishing trips. A short drive takes you to Portland Harbour, and the rugged “Isle” of Portland, linked to Weymouth by the dramatic Chesil Beach. Visit Dorchester, Thomas Hardy’s “Casterbridge”, only 7 miles away, or take a journey along the scenic coastal road and call in at Abbotsbury Swannery and Subtropical Gardens. Alternatively, just head down to West Bay - the views of the stunning Dorset Heritage Coastline are not to be missed!

Well situated with short walk to harbour and other amenities close by. The only downside is the surrounding paths, with a lot of weeds making the area look very unkempt, whereas the property was perfect.

We had a lovely stay at the pines We holiday every year in Weymouth & stay in a different home every time but we would definitely stay here again well equipped, lovely garden , area perfect for dog walks, the hamper & fresh milk in the fridge was a lovely surprise we normally stay on the harbour but parking is a real issue now & limited dog friendly stays so The Maltings is a fab alternative so close to everything , private parking was a real bonus especially as my elderly Mum holidays with us , we will definitely stay again
