"Lovely comfy accommodation, a real home from home."
Great location near to all the local attractions. We felt the owner had really thought about everything that you need for a relaxing break. The welcome goodies were much appreciated and the parking facilities meant we could safely leave our car to enjoy the walks.

"A lovely terraced house in a quiet location just a short walk from the sea."
The owner provided everything for self catering, including a bottle of wine. A stroll along the Rodwell Trail takes you to two small beaches and further on into Weymouth, though we never made it past the cafe and gardens! Beds and sofas were comfortable, nice new garden chairs and table which we enjoyed in the afternoon sunshine. An excellent choice for us and our four legged friend.
Thank you for your kind comments and so glad you enjoyed your time in the cottage. Property Owner

"We really enjoyed our week at Jay cottage, it was clean, in a good position for Portland and Weymouth."
It was nice to be able to walk our dog down to the sea in the morning and to know he was secure in the garden. Parking is at the top of my list when booking and it was easy here. We loved our week and we have it on our list to return.
So glad you enjoyed your time at the cottage and it would be lovely to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner

"We stayed with my sister in law, who is very fussy and she declared that the house was immaculate, and she could not find any fault (which is a first)."
The house was a lovely place to stay and with easy access to visit other places. We would highly recommend it
That is great to hear and thank you for that feedback. Property Owner

"Cosy house in a great location and very well equipped with everything we could possibly need."
Very comfortable beds with good quality bed linen and plentiful towels. Only very minor issues we found were that some of the internal doors were squeaky and could do with some lubrication. Bedside light bulbs in second bedroom not working. We enjoyed our week at Jay cottage very much and would not hesitate to stay again.
Thank you for the feedback and those issues will be address as soon as possible.So glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

"Fab little cottage in a prime place for the Rodwell Trail with a lovely walk in to Weymouth!"
The cottage is well equipped with everything you need and there are plenty of books and games too. The beds are so comfortable you are guaranteed a good nights sleep. The garden is enclosed so your fur baby should be safe wandering about. Not a huge garden but it is fully enclosed which was great! The is a lovely pub about 15 mins walk from the cottage along a busy main road and well worth a visit! There is also local convenience stores and a Tesco Express opposite the pub along with some takeaway’s (Chinese, fish & chips). The owner of the cottage was very helpful and responded to my emails quickly. We would definitely go back!
Thank you so much for taking the time to give such positive feedback - it is much appreciated. So glad that you enjoyed your time in the cottage. Property Owner

"We came back to Jay Cottage for a second time this October as we enjoyed it so much last year!"
It's so convenient for the beach, walking and access to buses to get out and about. Oscar the dog was very at home again, and we'd certainly look to return in future.
So glad you enjoyed your second holiday in Jay Cottage - would be wonderful to welcome you back for another holiday. Property Owner

"Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic."
We have had a brilliant holiday the best in England Infant. Everything you could wish for. Comforts, scenery, sea view and beach 2 mins walk. Loads to do like boat trips, lovely walks, crabbing was fun and can’t forget the fish n chips and ice cream. Everything you need is there supermarket 10 mins drive, weymouth is a lovely town centre where you can pick up gifts and treat yourselves. Make sure you leave enough room in car to bring everything back! House itself has everything from bedding to towels to treats left from owners I would highly recommend it to everyone but please leave us a week or two to book next year. Thank you for the best holiday ever.
Thank you for the very kind review. I am so very pleased you enjoyed your stay and am always delighted to welcome back guests. Property Owner

"Lovely cottage on the outskirts of Weymouth, very clean, comfortable with modern facilities and in a quiet location."
About a 2 minute walk to the shoreline and 30 minutes into town via a pedestrianised pathway. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed Weymouth and the cottage and the pair of us would happily stay here again.
Great news and it would be lovely to welcome you back another time. Thank you for the feedback. Property Owner

"The house was spotless, The welcome pack was a lovely thought and the bedding and towels were of the best quality."
The heating was easy to change and very welcoming a couple of days. The area the house is situated is residential and very quiet and an easy drive to numerous places. Hope to return this year if not next year. Would definitely recommend property. Sheila and Bob Pursglove

"We had a very enjoyable few days in this very clean, comfortable, warm, well equipped house."
BUT, when we booked a walk- in shower was paramount, and indeed was detailed as one of the facilities. Soon after booking we were informed that the walk-in shower had been removed and replaced with a bath with shower over. Hm!! Not good, very inconvenient. I notice that on the website the narrative has been changed but the images still show a very nice walk-in shower. Nevertheless, the house is well located for the Rodmell Trail, good dining venues and access to the principle places of interest. Recommended.
Thank you very much for taking the time to give feedback. We will endeavour to get the image updated as soon as possible. I am very pleased you enjoyed your time in Weymouth. Property Owner

"Very well equipped , super clean , warm and nicely situated ."

"An excellent location to explore the Jurassic Coast."
Easy parking and good internet connection. Nice hot shower. The place was clean and tidy and we enjoyed our stay there. We were here during the start of the cold spell in March and the heating did struggle to keep the house warm but were also reluctant to leave the oil heater on for any length of time because of energy costs. Good to see plenty of recycling going on. Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door are only about thirty minutes away.
Thank you for taking the time to give feedback. We will certainly look at ways of keeping the house warm during colder periods. Property Owner

"Found the house very cold especially after a day out with the grandchildren heating set really low didn't find it comftable or welcoming just very basic kitchen wasn't particularly clean cups had stains in cupboards needed good clean and something splashed all over the mirror in there inconvenient to open table and bring chairs in from lounge no radiator on in small bedroom so cold in there and what can I say about the floorboards upstairs !"
! Plus my dog wasn't impressed by the lack of rug downstairs on a slippery floor also garden we felt was bit of a hazard
Thank you for providing us with feedback on your stay and we are very sorry you felt the cottage did not meet your expectations. We take great pride in offering a holiday cottage equipped and cleaned to a high standard. We take all feedback very seriously and will be reviewing all the matters you have brought to our attention as a matter of urgency. Property Owner

"We had an enjoyable stay at Jay cottage."
Had fun feeding the garden birds, even rearranged the feeders as the pigeons had learned a trick of emptying the feeders. A useful local shop and bus service were close by.
I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay and thank you for taking the time to give feedback. Property Owner

"We really enjoyed our stay at Jay Cottage."
It was great to be so near to the sea, and we were comfortable and cosy. Oscar the dog was very happy, too! We'd certainly book again.

"The picture on your site shows a walking slower on arrival the shower is now a bath and overhead shower with screen , as my wife has some mobility issues this made taking a shower and heeded help , i am disappointed that the picture are not actual of the facilities."
We would not have booked this accommodation if it showed a bath , also the toilet was leaking from the waste soil pipe ,
Thank you for your feedback and the time taken to bring these matters to our attention. I apologise for that mismatch between the images and description and I will ensure that this is rectified as soon as possible. An additional grab rail will be installed to assist guests in the future when using the bath. Any leakage will also be investigated and repaired as a matter of urgency. Property Owner
-
"It was a lovely property very clean and the added extras were very nice, i would like to say that maybe an extra hand rail going up the Stairs and a hand rail to hold on to when having a shower would be good."
But other than that great.
Thank you for your feedback. Comments and suggestions are taken very seriously so thank you for bringing this to our attention. We shall look into your suggestions. Property Owner

"Excellent little house in a very good location, everything you could possibly need from a holiday home and more."

"Great little property with great situation only 3 minutes from Smallmouth Beach."
. Nice welcome pack with a bottle of wine. Everywhere was exceptionally clean on arrival. The second bedroom is very small for a double bed (no wardrobe), but as there were just 2 of us it was fine. Hope to stay at the property in future.
I am glad you enjoyed your stay and thank you very much for your feedback - it is very much appreciated. Property Owner

"Lovely little house in a residential area."
Kitchen was well equipped and a comfortable size, it felt like cutlery, glasses etc had been chosen with care. There was a radio with good quality sound in the kitchen which I used a lot and books and games in the lounge which I would have tried if I hadn't brought my own stuff. Comfortable beds and it was lovely and quiet. I didn't use the garden, not the right time of year but the dog had a sniff around in the mornings. Can imagine it would be nice to have a drink outside sitting at the table or on the bench on a summer evening. Lovely area for a holiday plenty of beautiful countryside and things to do. Would recommend.
-
"A lovely place to stay, short walk to the Rodwell Trail and Chesil Beach and only a few minutes drive to Town."

"Everything was there what we needed."
Lovely cottege would recommend it, in a good location looking over Portland Harbour.
-
"We were disappointed in the cottage the kitchen had to be cleaned be for we could even use it."
The bath room needed a deep clean .all so dog hair in all the rooms including the bedrooms. Very overlooked and because it's on an housing estate very noisy.
Thank you for your feedback. We do take feedback comments very seriously. Your comments and scores are very out of character for the property 'I am shocked and very sorry that your holiday experience did not turn out as you wanted. The property was thoroughly cleaned for your arrival. The property is situated in a residential area occupied generally by the elder generation and completely out of character to experience significant noise. Property Owner

"Nice little house but needed a few home comforts."
Difficult to eat at the table as the room was so small & there was just 2 of us. The shower needed a deep clean and the patio area needed a good clean too. On a plus side very comfy bed & lots of fresh fluffy towels. We were out all day so didn’t matter much to us but a family of 4 would struggle here with the limited space. Hi

"Great location - very close to Portland and to Rodwell Trail for access to Weymouth."

"A lovely high spec cottage, with sea views and not far from the town."
We would highly recommend this accommodation.

"A lovely little house in a quiet neighbourhood, but only minutes from the sea and with excellent walks for our little Shih Tzu!"
Good allocated parking to the rear of the property, directly opposite the rear garden entrance. Very well equipped with modern furniture and white goods, good wi-fi, nice outdoor seating in the rear garden which catches the afternoon sun. Local shop with good range of food, newspapers, etc just a few minutes walk away. If needed, Diane in No 7 opposite is very helpful. All in all, this property was a very good find!
-
"Beautiful clean cottage in wonderful scenic location."
Arrived to milk, wine& biscuits is a very nice touch. We have a greyhound dog so garden not ideal for him but would be fine for a smaller dog! Highly recommend

The property
Just a stone's throw from the beautiful Weymouth Harbour, in a quiet residential spot, Jay Cottage offers a wonderful Dorset holiday home for a family of four.
Enjoying glimpses of Chesil Beach from one of the bedrooms, this terraced house has two bedrooms, and is within easy reach of all of Weymouth's beloved attractions and town centre.
Choose to park up on the driveway or in the off-road space to the back of the property, before entering into the porch area, handy for any wet gear or watersports equipment.
Be welcomed into the spacious sitting room where two sofas present a stylish space to relax in after a busy day, with a TV for entertainment.
A high-gloss fitted kitchen is home to all you need including an electric oven, microwave, electric hob and a fridge/freezer, so you can rustle up delicious family meals when you're not dining out, to be enjoyed around the dining table in here.
Open up the patio doors which give the kitchen/diner an abundance of light, and make use of the pretty enclosed garden, let your canine-companion stretch their legs and sip your morning coffee here.
Retire each evening to one of the two charming double bedrooms, with one offering glimpses of Chesil Beach, and both served by the shower room which has a large shower enclosure.
Weymouth has been a popular choice of holiday destination for many years and is bursting with fun-filled activities; discover a world of underwater creatures at Weymouth SEA LIFE Adventure Park, with over 2,000 creatures including otters, sea turtles, penguins, and plenty of fish, it's a great day out and even has a Splash Zone play area for children in summer.
Delight in the sights of the brightly coloured beach huts, golden sands and safe shallow waters of Weymouth Beach, often named in the top ten beach destinations in Europe, it's not hard to see why!
The wonderful esplanade that runs parallel to the beach is perfect for leisurely strolls or bike rides, with gorgeous views out to the Jurassic Coast, and it also connects the Lorton Valley Nature Park to Radipole Lake Reserve, making it a great way to explore too and see some wildlife in their natural habitats.
Don't miss a visit to Nothe Fort, an impressive Victorian-built fortress, made to protect Portland Harbour and home to a network of underground passages, it's rich in history and also affords wonderful views over to Portland and Weymouth Bay.
The property is only 5 minutes away from Smallmouth beach - a small enclosed beach perfect for paddle-boarding, kayaking or paddling.
From here you can see the windsurfers and kitesurfers using the harbour where some of the water events of the 2012 London Olympics took place.
The OTC Watersports Centre is also a 5 minute drive away, located right on the water’s edge and caters for windsurfing, kitesurfing, wing-foiling and stand up paddleboarding.
On Portland the working lighthouse can be climbed and the visitor centre explored before enjoying lunch at the Lobster Pot which has beautiful views over to the Jurassic coast.
Walkers can delight in hopping onto the South West Coast Path for more coastal scenery while staying active, or for a more relaxed jaunt head along the Rodwell Trail.
Other things not to miss include SandWorld to see the creative sculptures carved and give it a go yourself with the help of some tools and friendly staff, the Isle of Portland, the 18-mile long Chesil Beach, fishing at Weymouth Harbour, and lots more.
Enjoy a stay at Jay Cottage with your loved ones for some unforgettable Dorset memories!
