Blue Ensign Cottage

The location of the cottage was excellent, it was clean and tidy, everything was just amazing.

Nothing.

We would have liked the property a lot more had it been clean. It is in a good location albeit some potentially seedy goings on in the house opposite (men coming and going constantly) and it has some nice design features

It was absolutely filthy. Where do you start? Probably the beds as this was what upset us the most. We were a group of four middle aged ladies and every bed in the house smelled musty other than the top pillows which smelled freshly laundered. The rest of the bedding smelled old and as if it had been slept in before. We believe whoever prepared the house thought changing the top pillow case would trick us into thinking the beds had been changed but the top pillows were such a stark difference to the rest of the bedding, it didn’t. Additionally there were no mattress or pillow protectors and the thinnest of bottom sheets so no protection from whatever bodily fluids had passed down into the mattress. Upon inspecting one mattress there were all manner of stains. Really unpleasant. One of our group runs a holiday park and was shocked at the state of the place. All of the brass light switches had sticky finger prints, the skirting boards were covered in months worth of dust, the cushion covers on kitchen chairs were disgusting. The microwave had all sorts of crud on the inside of the door. The coffee machine had stale coffee water in base and used capsules. The draining board made me gag as it had dried food all over it. The top double room had dust on the mirror so deep my friend wrote her name in it (she forgot to photograph that but did photograph bottom of TV stand next to it which you will see was the same). The stores had not been vacuumed and there were bits all over it. The en-suite was appalling. Despite having a hygiene wrapper over toilet seat (which was broken and slipped) there was a poo stain on side of seat and dust on the pedestal. The shower in en-suite was absolutely minging. In addition to them having gaffa taped the mold to hide it, the door frame was laden in long hairs which blew at me whilst using the shower. More hairs on the base of shower.

Our stay in this house was great! The house is beautiful and very well equipped. Super near the beach and nice pubs and restaurants by the harbor. Jonty and Sophie were great, communication with them went smoothly. Highly recommend.

Just two quite small things: toilet seat is a bit loose in one of the bathrooms, gas bbq was a bit dirty.

Full of character and close to amenities

Nothing

Location amazing. Kitchen had plenty of cooking utensils .cosy A Xmas tree was up and lit when we arrived for our Xmas break which was lovely Very comfortable stay would stay again

Lots of stairs if you struggle with stairs

Communication was fantastic. Quirky house right in the centre of Weymouth .. very comfortable 👍

Lovely house in a great location. Hosts are nice people and great help.

excellent location, property had a very homely feel about it. The kitchen area was a lovely area to spend family time in with our family of 8, our little girl loved the toy and game corner. Would definitely stay again.

couldn't reset the clock on the cooker (buttons wouldn't work even though we googled how to) to work the ovens. managed to cook all the breakfast on the stove but would've been a lot easier with the use of the ovens. No big deal though.....

Great house! Great beds!

Only thing we found hard with babies and older people was stairs.
