4 of us stayed for a week with our 2 dogs. The house had absolutely everything needed for a comfortable stay, and was spotlessly clean. Dog beds, bowls and treats were supplied, and the garden was safe and secure for them. Communication with the owner was excellent, and clear directions and instructions made for a hassle free check-in and out. Would recommend this property without any exception.

Perfect coastal base
Great place to use as a base around Weymouth and Jurassic Coast. The house met our needs, and there was a handy dog secure park on-site. Fantastic views of the coastline from the higher viewing points. Pop into Dorset Shellfish for freshly made seafood dishes. They even dress the lobster for you. Lidl is just round the corner if you need to stock up. Thanks for a lovely stay Melissa.

Clean and spacious
The house was clean and had everything we need but the double bed was one of the most uncomfortable bed we had every slept in we woke each morning with sore ribs and bad back we then moved into the two single beds which were ok. The bath is so shallow that the only soak you could do would be a foot soak sat on the edge. Even with these problems we found the house was worth the money

All you need
Stones throw is a beautiful property all you need is there and items for your dog, treats bowls blankets a lovely welcome package wine milk cake can not fault property or owners. The garden is small but I thought it was just right unfortunately we never had the weather to appreciate it in the summer I could imagine sitting out there and enjoying it it was so peaceful and quiet. The area around property is quiet with plenty of places to take your dog for walks a nice fenced off area were we let our boy have his freedom he loved it.I would definitely recommend this property its spotlessly clean and well equipped thank you Mellissa

Stones Throw is a very clean, well equipped modern house, that is within easy reach of many local attractions. It is within easy reach of Weymouth too. The property itself is well maintained and is extremely well equipped, even with such items as kitchen towel, foil and cling film! We would definitely recommend a stay at this property; we thoroughly enjoyed our week there.

Just a perfect house, all you need for a relaxed stay, welcoming, clean, lots of information.
This was such a lovely and easy rental, from booking, arriving and checking out. The booking process and information was clear. Communication was excellent and the house was ready, very clean and lovely welcome gifts, having tea, coffee and milk made it easier to settle. Good parking, and lots of information of activities, walks, restaurants. Facilities in the house made self catering very easy. It was easy to keep cool on the hot days and cosy on the cold days. Just absolutely lovely, brilliant host. I would certainly book again.
