The space This is a small brick built building set on a hill at Shortlake Farm just to the south of the village. It is built on the site of a WWII gun battery, and commands panoramic views over Weymouth & Portland, and out across the English Channel. It is located just off a quiet no-through-road, up a gravel track, and is surrounded by pasture. From the cottage, you can find The Smugglers Inn, and a couple of small shops, which are approximately just a 5 minute, walk away. The walk to Shortlake Farm's private beach takes just 5 minutes or so across the fields. The property can sleep up to 7 guests (one double bed in the main bedroom, one bunk bed and a pull out in the conservatory and a double bed in the Shepherds Hut). Outside is a small patio area with a hot tub and table and chairs which overlooks Weymouth Bay, and continues beyond onto grassy fields. The pictures speak for themselves - 180 degree plus uninterrupted views over the surrounding sea and coastline. Around the property are fields belonging to the farm where we graze sheep and occasionally cattle. Well-behaved pets are welcome at Shortlake Cottage, and guests can borrow a dog from Eweleaze Farm for the day. Please note that unless specified, we will make up the double in the main bedroom.
