Location

Nothing

The cottage was amazing and in a great location. Lovely hamper on arrival was an added bonus 😀

There was nothing to dislike

Excellent holiday home and location. 100% book there again. I would like to thank the owners for letting their wonderful home to me and my family.

Nothing.

The house is lovely, spacious and comfortable.

The previous stays rubbish was still in the garden, this wasn't an issue for our stay as it rained all week.so didn't use the garden but had it been nice weather this would have been unpleasant. No dishwasher, despite saying there is and even in instructions in the house. Due to a very noisy location we hardly slept all week, left feeling more tired than when we arrived.

Location was great, cottage was comfortable. Bigger than expected. Lovely hamper on arrival. Overall a great holiday.

Blinds don't work properly so don't cut out the light so gets light very early. Bit noisy with the road right outside. Don't notice during the day but with no double glazing upstairs it was louder. Most windows don't open so warm in hot weather. We were not left a tea towel so unable to dry dishes.

Fantastic location right by the Harbour and an easy walk across the bridge into Weymouth and to the Beach. The Property was very clean and well presented and a lovely welcome box awaited us. Having a bathroom on each floor next to the bedrooms was a bonus and the property had great facilities, plenty of utensils and kitchenware to allow us as a family of five to eat there and was lovely and warm during a chilly spell. Lovely little courtyard for sunny days but we did not get the chance to use it. Bennets Fish and Chips just 5 minutes away was great and we had a lovely drink the opposite side of the Harbour in The Ship Inn. Able to walk along the harbour and up to Nothe Fort and see both sides of the peninsula. A great base to explore along the Dorset Coast and a lovely drive from there to Charmouth only 50 minutes away with lots of stops along the way to take in the magnificent coastal view.

Although in a fabulous location the property was a little noisy as it is between pubs and a couple of small restaurants and there was quite a bit of noise from passers by late evening. Early morning was quite noisy with refuse collections at the pubs etc and there is construction work started at the end of the road at Brewers Quay. Unfortunately I had seen a review from summer 2022 that said a lot of the venetian/slat blinds did not work well in the property and light was an issue in the bedrooms and I am sad to say this issues does not seem to have been addressed. Most of the blinds upstairs did not work and we had to hand flatten each slat to give us all a chance of some privacy and some light blocking but the bedrooms are very bright on a sunny morning and from a street lamp opposite at night. But as we were up and out early and tired by the end of the day it did not spoil our enjoyment too much just a shame its been noted and not sorted previously. Parking is not available at the property but we found a long stay car park behind Brewers Quay for around £9.20 for over 6 hours parking and only a 5 minute walk away.

lovely place very easy to find , super comfortable.

could have been a little bit cleaner hard water in the kettle and on shower heads. I also couldn’t get the tv to work in the bedroom
