"Thankyou for a wonderful short stay in your beautiful property."
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

Very impressed, extremely well equipped, clean and comfortable cottage, thoroughly enjoyed our stay would highly recommend to anyone considering holidaying in Weymouth

"Nice cottage with all you need,close too harbour/ town, with secure parking"

"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

Lovely house to stay in, great location, very clean and comfortable and with ease of parking made this a good holiday looking to come back in near future To help with your bookings I would recommend you add downstairs cloakroom to your house description as this was an added bonus for us

"We loved the new lounge furniture, very smart and comfortable."
And we loved the new tv once we worked out which remote controls to use! As ever it was a home from home .
-
"What a beautiful place very clean everything you need was catered for can't wait to go again."
We went to wrong entrance and property senior moment! But they we so helpful thank you. Linda

"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.

We have holiday in the brewers quay for a lot of year's and can't fault a thing always have had a relaxing time shame to see some of the pubs and cafes have closed down but in all a fantastic break will be back next year
-
"This was our second stay at Poppies, it was nice to see the new lounge furniture and the chairs with the footstalls we’re particularly comfortable."
The overall cleanliness of the property was good and it was lovely to have a welcome hamper and milk on arrival. There was an issue with the microwave and the fridge but these was sorted straight away. Overall a very comfortable stay and amazing weather.
-
"The property was amazing , the location was superb too."
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.
-
"The property was exactly what we expected."
The lady who came midway through to change the bed linen was very nice and friendly. She even took time to tell us about local attractions. We have booked with Sykes cottages many times and hope to continue.
-
"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.
-
"Please put some darker curtains up in both rooms I was awake at 5 every morning because it was too bright"
-
"Poppies is a perfect place for up to 4 people to enjoy a relaxing holiday but ..."
Poppies is a perfect place for up to 4 people to enjoy a relaxing holiday but with everything within a short walking distance
-
"This is an excellent property in a very convenient position withy private parking in a gated community."
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.
-
"The only thing we could find fault with , was the quilt could have been thicker on the main bed."
Need a thicker one for the winter. Fantastic house ! we have stayed before and shall return!
Dear Graham Thank you for your comment, there are winter quilts in the wardrobe drawers, we will amend the visitor notes to this effect. Best regards Phil Morgan Property Owner
-
"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?
-
"We booked the cottage very lastmin, all was fab."
The cottage is in a great position tucked away but near the harbour. Just one small thing, could do with a better mattress on the double bed.
-
"Poppies is our home from home!"
We’ve been coming for years and it’s very comfortable. Love it.
-
"Perfect as always"
-
"Lovely cottage in a super location near the harbour."
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.
-
"Disappointing not to have sky package anymore and sofa is not very comfortable"
-
"We have been to Poppies in Weymouth many times, and it is still as enjoyable and comfortable as ever."
Highly recommended.
-
"Just a problem with the step to the door so high had a job to get out."
The rug in the lounge was such a slip hazard it moved all the time
-
"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.
-
"We had a fantastic time at Poppies."
The place was spotless and the bedrooms were a decent size. It's in a great location, we didn't need to use the car all week. We will definitely be back!
-
"Great to finally get back to Weymouth."
Really good time had by all and Poppies is a very handy and good base to use. Our third visit to Poppies and we would come again.
-
"Cleaned to a decent standard except for a random jumper that was left next to the sofa."
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.
-
"The house was really nice comfortable and clean, right in the heart of the harbour."
Really good to have a parking space right outside the house. Could probably benefit from a better sign outside as we struggled initially to find it, as it's not visible and behind some electric gates but all good
-
"As there was a jumper left behind the chair the living room had not been thoroughly cleaned."
However this in no way spoilt our holiday. Home from home!! The location was just perfect and parking a bonus.
-
"Our second visit to Poppies."
Everything perfect. We will be back.
-
"It would be good if on the i-players on the smart tv you had a code to put in rather than having to make your own account."
-
"TV made need re-tuning as a lot of channels missing, other than that perfect stay."
-
"We had a lovely week in poppies, we have stayed here loads of times, lovely ..."
We had a lovely week in poppies, we have stayed here loads of times, lovely house the only downfall is the shower is a bit small and the water does not come out very quick, also you could do with blackout curtains in the bedrooms, but we would stay there again we stayed here in July and September
-
"Home was excellent and location of property was great."
-
"Poppies is a lovely holiday home and we found it very conveniently situated close to Weymouth's amenities but quietly located."
We had two issues regarding the heating which were immediately rectified by the Dream cottages staff whose office was round the corner from us. We've been using Sykes for a number of years and have always had milk provided (even cakes and scones at some places) and spare toilet rolls and refuse sacks were left too, however these were NOT provided in this property.
-
"We have stayed at poppies before very nice,clean and good quiet location ..."
We have stayed at poppies before very nice,clean and good quiet location accommodation is well equipped, sky tv is useful, but the shower is a bit small and not very powerful, but are staying he again in June and July and September, so very good thank you
-
"Pilot light was "off" and extremely difficult to re-light."
Drying clothes an issue in wet weather, a washer/dryer would be a great help. Unnecessary use of plastic bags in All the waste bins in the house. Location superb and the house was "fitted out" to a high standard.
-
"It was ideally located, close to the town, and the beach, both of which we were able to walk to."
Very clean accommodation, everything that we needed, including a downstairs toilet. We all enjoy Weymouth, and would go back to Poppies.
-
"The second time staying at beautiful Poppies cottage."
Fabulous location, perfect home from home. Extremely near to all the pubs and restaurants around the beautiful harbour and the parking on site is a massive plus. We've been holidaying with Dream Cottages for at least 15 years and all of the cottages we've stayed in are to a high spec. We're looking forward to our return visit next year.
-
"The front steps are a little bit high for anyone with mobility issues."
-
"Dream cottages always gives us a dream holiday."
Every property we have booked has always been spotless and comfortable.
-
"We continually come back to Poppies as it has everything we need for a perfect holiday cottage also it is so convenient for walking to town and the seafront and many other lovely walks - perfect for ‘us pensioners’ !"
( Particular thanks to Sally and Phil for the lovely Easter Egg which they left for us - it was so kind of them and we really enjoyed sharing it - thank you again )
-
"Location was perfect."
-
"Nothing to say ."
The number of times we have stayed at poppies speaks for its self,it’s just perfect
-
"A lovely property in an excellent location - central for everything."
The property itself was extremely clean and tidy and very well equipped. We will certainly be returning to Poppies. Stayed July 2018
-
"This is our third year with Dream Cottages and have never found any problems and never found the ned to complain about anything."
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. Love it, if we return to Weymouth again we will definitely choose Dream Cottages to find our accommodation. 10 out of 10 for everything. Stayed July 2018
-
"Very nice stay, ideal location for harbour side of the town."

"Yet another lovely cottage, (our 10th booking with you,) Poppies was spotless, very comfortable beds and everything one needs."
In a super location close to heart of harbour and restaurants etc. Lovely to leave the car behind gates while you enjoy the town. Will be back again. Thank you - stayed May 2017
-
"Excellent cottage, comfy beds and the kitchen well equipped for any meal that needs to be prepared."
This is a home from home cottage well situated for any tourist attractions or just leaving the car behind for walks nearby. Very clean and warm .Useful to have books DVDs info leaflets and the "Weymouth " jigsaw fits just right on the coffee table for a winter stay! Walking distance of local supermarket etc. We have used dream cottages for over 10 years and found the service excellent and a high standard of holiday homes. See you in June! Stayed March 2017
-
"The booking process was very easy, the staff at dream cottages were very friendly and helpful, and Poppies was an extremely nice place to stay."
I have travelled to Weymouth a lot for work and this is the first time I've used a holiday let rather than a hotel. I should have done this much sooner as the overall experience was better than a hotel. Stayed November 2016
-
"Great Accommodation Excellent Location Definitely recommend - stayed October 2016"
-
"Beautiful property in a really good position near the Harbour, Brewers Quay, beach and shopping where we have stayed several times before."
This February it was all newly redecorated again, with new luxury bathroom and every ammenity that we could wish for---plus gated parking! Stayed February 2016

Pleasant surroundings, and peace of mind for parking, and staying at Poppies made it feel like home from home. Stayed August/September 2015

The property
Poppies is a mews style two bedroom property in Kellaway Court, Weymouth.
This holiday cottage cleverly combines characterful features and stylish considered interior with contemporary touches that bring the property up to date, while losing none of its original charm. The contemporary décor of red and grey colours, in the sitting room is a perfect place to sit back and relax as a family, playing games or chill after a busy day.
The modern kitchen with bar table and chairs allows you to sit and chat whilst preparing a snack to eat.
Heading upstairs you will find two airy and light bedrooms.
This property is just a stroll from the harbourside, where you can sit and enjoy a drink in one of the many restaurants or pubs.
Or maybe sit on the harbour wall with fish and chips and enjoy a spot crabbing with the family.
The property is situated in Kellaway Court; a, gated development on an area which, for many years, was used for brewing beer.
Whilst beer is no longer brewed, this this location many of the historic buildings remain and add to the character of the Quay.

About the location
BREWERS QUAY HARBOUR
Dorchester 8.7 miles; West Lulworth 15.8 miles
Brewers Quay is the old Victorian brewery situated at the heart of the harbour, in Weymouth, Dorset. Much of the grade II listed complex and surrounding brewery buildings date from the late 1800 early 1900’s and many have stones inlaid commemorating their construction year. This area is now a popular destination with many restaurants, café and bars, creating a vibrant culture, where you can relax with a drink and watch the world go by. Tucked away down the harbourside streets, you will find original Tudor harbour buildings, estimated to have been built in 1600 and well worth a visit, with a very interesting history to share. You will also find the Weymouth Museum, with some incredible exhibitions, and the harbour is also home to the lifting bridge, where you can watch the luxury yachts head out to sea, and then walk over the bridge to the town's winding streets of boutique shops and the seafront esplanade and beach. There is more to this seaside town than meets the eye; Brewers Quay is a much-loved holiday destination in Weymouth!
Note: Allocated parking in electronically gated area.
