Folder needs updating. Local pub is closed. Nearest one is 25min. Walk away. Some other details in the folder need checking. The glass around the decking could also be put around the hot tub to.

Our stay at the Old Boat House was nothing short of amazing! Absolutely everything you need, from kitchenware to outdoor toys for the kids. The views are mind-blowing, the local people are awesome, and the number 11 open-top bus from the lighthouse (5 minute walk away) into Weymouth is a must for sight-seeing. If you want a peaceful getaway with incredible views all around, then I highly, highly recommended. Can't wait to go back!
