Lives in Weymouth, United Kingdom
Hi, I'm Mat! I live in Weymouth with my wife Laura and my two children. We moved to Dorset 13 years ago and fell in love with the area. We want to share the best of Dorset with as many people as possible. We have three properties - The Stables, Harbour Hope and Granary Cottage. I love being an Airbnb Superhost and we can't wait to welcome you to our lovely places in Dorset!
