We enjoyed a relaxing weekend at Southdown. The house is just on the edge of Lodmoor RSPB Reserve and it was lovely to walk around the Reserve in the early evening. The hot tub was really clean and the house was comfortable and really well equipped.

(4 adults, 4 kids, Easter weekend, 2026)A fantastic property with stunning views across the nature reserve to the sea and the island or Portland - all from the comfort of the hot tub! Well equipped kitchen, two bathrooms, driveway parking (for more than 1 car!) and easy to drive into Weymouth town centre for more fun.Great walks through the reserve and around the area to explore. Hosts were quick to respond and very helpful. This place ticks all the boxes and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

very satisfied with all aspects of the property, everything you need is provided for. wonderful location overlooking the RSPB All the information you need is in the welcome folder. Jodi and Simon are the ideal property managers, they leave you alone but are only a phone call away if you need anything. Would definitely stay there again.

It is a beautful house. Location is stunning, looking over the RSPB nature reserve. The bedrooms are spacious and the beds are very comfortable. The communication with Simon was in general excellent. The house is about 15 mins walk from the local shingle beach and about 25 minutes walk from Weymouth. Unfortunately, there were a number of issues that made the stay a little uncomfortable and frustrating. The fully equipped kitchen has no dishwasher. One of the the 4 induction hobs did not work the entire week and finally the 3 hobs had very little power. The kitchen chairs were broken and we needed to ask for new ones. The 2 of the seats in the lounge were broken. The chair had a hasty repair job and the sofa leg kept bending inwards whenever someone sat on it - both dangerous. Neither bathroom had working locks. The shower head upstairs did not fit the holder and kept falling off while in use. There was only 1 hand towel for the whole house. There were no hooks in the house so we could not hang up towels to dry or hang up wet coats. We spoke with Simon about the issues and he was very responsive. He procured new chairs (arrived the next day). He repaired and placed new locks and brought new hooks for bed and bathrooms. However, the lounge seats, broken cooker and no dishwasher remained an issue, especially for my elderly parents. Hopefully these issues are resolved for the future. Check out time miscommunications also did not help the matter.
