Overview
Description
Sydenham Cottage, WeymouthA charming 18th-century cottage in the heart of Weymouth, just a 2-minute walk from the old harbour, award-winning beach, restaurants, cafés and local attractions. Sydenham Cottage has been lovingly refurbished to a high standard, combining stylish interiors and modern comforts with the character and charm of a traditional Weymouth cottage. Perfect for families, couples or friends, the cottage is ideally situated for enjoying everything Weymouth and the Jurassic Coast have to offer. Step outside and you are just moments from the sandy beach, picturesque harbour and lively town centre, while the dramatic cliffs and beautiful countryside of the Jurassic Coast and Dorset Downs are within easy reach.
A Home Away From Home
The fully equipped kitchen opens into a bright and welcoming breakfast room, which leads through to a private, enclosed walled courtyard — the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee or relax with a drink in the evening. A useful storage shed is also provided and stocked with beach essentials, making it easy to head off for a day beside the sea.
Sleeping Arrangements
The cottage is arranged over three floors and comfortably accommodates families or groups of friends.
First floor:
* Spacious king-size bedroom with its own en-suite bathroom
* Stylish family bathroom
Second floor:
* Comfortable double bedroom
* Cleverly designed bunk room, suitable for both adults and children
* Cosy children’s den, providing a fun space for playing, reading or watching TV
The children’s den is a particular favourite for younger guests, giving them their own little hideaway while adults can relax downstairs.
Historic Character
Dating back to the 1800s, Sydenham Cottage retains many of its original features, giving it plenty of character and charm. Guests should be aware that this is a genuine period property, so you will find creaky floors, steep staircases and some low ceilings. These features are an important part of the cottage’s character, but the property may not be suitable for guests with limited mobility.
Guest Access & Parking
Sydenham Cottage is tucked away on a quiet pedestrian lane of just seven characterful cottages, offering a peaceful setting despite being right in the centre of Weymouth.
Luggage Drop-Off
There is no vehicle access directly outside the cottage. However, you can briefly stop nearby to unload luggage before parking your vehicle.
Allocated Parking
Your stay includes one secure, allocated parking space, located approximately:
* 6 minutes’ walk from the cottage, or
* 5 minutes’ drive
The parking area is accessed through a gated entrance. The gate key is kept inside the cottage, so you will need to enter the property first to collect the key before moving your vehicle to the parking space.
Important Information
To help maintain the peaceful atmosphere of Sydenham Cottage and respect our neighbours, we ask guests to note the following:
* No hen or stag parties or similar celebrations
* Strictly non-smoking
* No pets
* No BBQs anywhere on the property
* Due to the property’s historic design, there are steep staircases and some low ceilings. Please take particular care with young children and guests with limited mobility.

Close to the beach and habour
By Daisy on 01-Jul-2026We had a lovely stay at Lina’s beautiful house for my mother’s 80th birthday. The house was spotless, comfortable and had everything you would need. It was also handily located minutes away from Weymouth’s lovely beach and lots of restaurants, shops and attractions which were great for the kids and the adults. Lina was a brilliant host and provided loads of information at the start and was extremely helpful and responsive throughout. Little extra touches like the toy whales waiting for the kids in the bunkbeds and the welcome pack including biscuits, tea and some milk in the fridge were the icing on the cake and really made us feel welcome and settle in fast. Would highly recommend for a peaceful seaside break and thank you Lina for everything!
Close to the beach and harbour
By Tom on 01-Jun-2026Beautiful cottage in a very convenient location. The beach, town and harbour are all within easy walking distance. We used the parking permit provided to park on the nearby roads and always found a space within reasonable walking distance. The cottage is extremely well finished and very well equipped for a family with young kids. Lina is an excellent host and quick to answer any queries. Would definitely stay again!

By Mark on 01-Jun-2026Roomy comfortable cottage, well decorated and spotless throughout. Great location, a stone's throw from the bustling harbour and its restaurants and pubs and less than a 5 minute walk from the beach. Lina provides everything a family would need.

By Kayley on 01-May-2026Where do I start?! We had the most perfect stay at Lina's place. The location could not have been better - we stayed with a 2 and 6 year old, and having everything you need so close by was brilliant - you're at the harbour or the beach in minutes! The house is beautiful - gorgeous coastal decor, tonnes of character amd really well equipped. Logistics were all so straight forward too and Lina made everything so easy - directions, check in, parking, & some great recommendations for local eats. Lina was attentive and responsive to requests/queries - it really felt like home away from home, she's honestly thought of everything! A firm favourite for a family staycation - we'll definitely be back!

By Kirsty on 01-May-2026Great bolt hole right in the centre of Weymouth- very comfortable stay in a well equipped cottage. Our children loved the bunk beds and watching TV in the mornings in the loft room.

By Lucinda on 01-May-2026Could not recommend this place more! Great location moment from the sea and the detail in the house is lovely. Lina was a great host, making sure we were all set and we loved the touches like coffee, chocolate and biscuits! Thanks so much and we will be back
