• "Hi. Found boiler not working about 8oclock."

  Followed your fault procedures and had to wait till Monday before engineer called after I went to the dream cottage office. After freezing for 2 nights it was not good to hear the call out man could have been with us in 5 minutes if you could be bothered to contact him Don’t think I will use you again. Have been to poppies many times and always supperb

  Mr Kelly, we were sorry to hear of the problem encountered and took the matter up with Dream Cottages, They tell us that you did not contact the emergency line which would have had the matter resolved quickly as we invest in 24hr boiler and heating emergency cover for this very eventuality. We hope that you will give Poppies and Dream Cottages another chance, Yours truly Phil Morgan Property Owner

  The cottage is spotlessly clean, with all the facilities that you would need. It’s a shame we were t there for longer to make use of everything on hand. The location can not be beaten & having private, gated parking is a bonus. We will be back x

• "Property was as described."

  Very thoughtful welcome bottle of milk in the fridge upon arrival along with a Dorset welcome pack (which is always appreciated thank you). We enjoyed our stay in Weymouth as usual and previously we have stayed at Melanies (next door) and another Sykes property on Greenhill. The one thing we didn't like about the property was the double bed in the main bedroom (we're 5'11 and 5'7 and of average weight). My wife and I did not have comfortable sleeps and towards the end of the stay (due to it's size and the soft mattress) I swapped beds with my 10 year old daughter as the kids had two single beds in their room. So long story short I think the main bedroom bed should be upgraded to a kingsize, with a better mattress, if at all possible. Other than that we enjoyed our stay and the property has everything you could need and is a great base for Weymouth & Portland exploring.

  Thank you for your feedback, we plan to upgrade the double bed this winter for season 2025 Property Owner

• "We had no hot water for most of the week, the beds were uncomfortable and stained!"

  Not the best so will not be returning. Stayed in far better which were cheaper. We sadly made a mistake with this one.

  Apologies for the delayed response to your feedback, we have been awaiting an explananation from Dream Cottages. We invest in a 24hr emergency boiler and central heating support contract which DC should have enabled immediately you had a problem. I have spoken to the emergency company who tell me that they changed a faulty valve. You should not have been without hot water as there is a back up of an immersion heater. The beds were not stained but the protective mattress covers were slightly grubby and we have now changed them. The beds are scheduled to be replaced and upgraded this coming winter ready for 2025. Thank you for your feedback. Mr Morgan Property Owner

• "Only minor issue was using the TV."

  Originally it would not select TV from the source list it kept looking for the TV box/hub. Getting the TV on was hit and miss. Then noticed Digital TV was switched off in the source list, added it in and used that for basic tv. Much better from there in. Casting to the TV from Apple or Android was the best way to view other stuff. Also WiFi code needs updating in the folder. We still had the correct one from last time we stayed. We had another fantastic time at Poppies and Weymouth as we have had before. Poppies is the ideal place for us an excellent place to stay. Sure we will be back in the future.

  The hamper that was left for us on arrival was great and a really nice touch. The property was spotless and very modern , we could not fault it. It was a lovely property to come back to and relax after a day on the beach or exploring Weymouth. We cant wait to return. We absolutely love Weymouth and this property is the best we have stayed in for sure.

• "Popped is a wonderful place to stay."

  It's very well placed, and having car parking is great. The decor is lovely and the whole house is light and airy. The only problem we found was that we had to clean the shower drain of a lot of accumulated hair which was preventing drainage -before we could have a first shower. Not a pleasant task. However this would not prevent us from recommending Poppies as a wonderful place to stay and we will definitely be returning.

  It was very clean and very nicely furnished. The only observation was no towel in the downstairs loo so we used one out of the spare unused bedroom. The Dorset Happy Hamper and pint of milk was much appreciated. We highly recommend this property. 5Star. Thank you.

• "This was definitely one of the best holiday properties we have stayed in."

  The house is kept to a high standard, extremely well equipped and excellently situated. A particular thanks for the buckets and spades which we found under the stairs! Like others we were frustrated by the unavailability of recycling facilities but we appreciate this is beyond your control and will be contacting Dorset Council separately about this.

• "We were very pleased with the property overall."

  Just a couple of points - the shower needs a good clean around the base. We were disappointed not to be able to recycle waste, although we understood the instructions that the let was treated as a commercial property. In these days could not a case be made for environmentally friendly domestic waste disposal on holiday lets?

  Very comfortable. Well equipped kitchen. Only negatives were that the heating was off when we arrived at 5pm so the house was freezing cold, and no tea bags or milk so we couldn’t even warm up with a cup of tea! Not a very warm welcome.

• "Overall the cottage was cleaned to a good standard but unfortunately they failed to do any dusting."

  We arrived at 5pm to find the cleaner had left her car in our space and did not collect it until 5.50pm which was not acceptable and we had to park in the visitors space instead. There needs to be a washer dryer especially when we had young children staying and the weather was not hot enough to effectively dry the clothes on the airer outside. The rug in the lounge needs to be secured as it is a tripping hazard We we’re confused by the arrangement of both bedrooms. Surely the double bedroom should have better storage, our grandchildren ended up with a large wardrobe, chest of drawers and tv which was totally unnecessary. The mattress protectors were badly stained and both mattresses need to be replaced as they both dip in the middle. It would be helpful to have clothes hooks on the back of the bedrooms and bathroom doors.

  From reading the previous guests reviews it seems this jumper has been hanging around for a while. Perfect location for local restaurants and pub but it can get a bit noisy when the neighbours come staggering back. The fridge had a lot of water inside and the freezer was "sort of out order". The sofa and bed was very comfortable and the TV was a good size. Also free Netflix courtesy of Alison :) Dreams cottages were very helpful when we had to delay our holiday due to Covid.

  Your service is impeccable and the whole booking experience is faultless. Poppies, as was Melanies 3 years ago and Dolphin last year was spotlessly clean, the facilities and equipment available is amazing never having to request anything special to meet our needs. The location is amazing, the weather was outstanding, I do realise the Dream Cottages cannot do anything about that but this is the third year of good weather. The accommodation is ideal for getting about Weymouth and Dorset, it's roomy and quiet.
