“LITTLE GEM IS A LITTLE GEM”

Reviewed 30 May 2023

We have just come back from staying at this property. Wow, lovely apartment with views, immaculate. Nice patio to sit out on and run of the garden. Plenty of lovely walks with Rodwell trail right on the doorstep, you can walk from Weymouth to Portland along this trail. Lovely gardens 50 yards award with a small cafe selling, drinks, pasties, cakes and ice cream. Jon and Linda were lovely and nothing was too much trouble. Have no problem in recommending this apartment.

“Great for sailing events”

Reviewed 21 Aug 2022

Originally booked Little Gem for its proximity to Castle Cove SC, however we were really pleased to open the door to a top quality home for the week. It was very clean and well equipped providing a great base for the beach and sailing club access. It included a beautiful garden with BBQ/outside oven and decking area with a lovely sea view. Our favourite item was the outside shower accessed without walking through the property, perfect for a day on the beach or sailing. The hosts were very accessible and helpful. We appreciated the little touches like leaving choccy biscuits, play station with games and the offer to use the off street parking. Excellent choice for sailing club events or exploring the local beach, Chesil or short walk into Weymouth. The host were easily accessible and very helpful… recommended !

“What it says on the tin!”

Reviewed 22 Aug 2021

The property is called Little Gem - and it certainly is just that! Everything you need along with a lovely sea view and short walk down the hill to the nearest beach. Love the area - the walks and little coves along the coast. Hosts are welcoming and friendly- on hand if you need anything. Weather not perfect - but this is Britain
