  • "It was a charming place to stay with our young family and pooch."

    So handy for getting to town and seeing Weymouth. The cottage owners were very attentive and supportive before and during our stay. I will definitely be back as we had a lovely time :-)

  • "Comfortable, cosy, and very well-equipped place to stay."

    Only about 3 min from the seafront, but slightly tucked away, making it quiet at all times. The bed and sofa were comfortable, shower was hot, and tv worked well. The kitchen had everything needed for self-catering. Although the nearest permit car park is 10 min away, we never had any problems parking close for loading/unloading.

    thanks for your kind feedback it is so much appreciated. we hope to see you again soon Property Owner

  • "We enjoyed the cottage."

    It was really comfortable and an easy short walk to the promenade and harbour. The parking is a ten minute walk away but increased my daily steps! The internal stairs are steep so aren’t suitable if you are not fully able bodied but we found them fine . Beyond that it’s a good choice in a convenient location.

    Thanks for your kind feedback it is very much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again soon Property Owner

    Walking distance to the beach and town. Excellent facilities - it had everything a family of 4 would need. We really enjoyed our stay - thank you very much.

  • "Very conveniently located, stones throw from the train station, centre of town and the beach."

    Nice comfortable place. We knew about the parking and the parking permit for the local carpark the other side of the station was really handy. I'd counter the previous review from someone of a possibly... delicate disposition... yes, a couple of streets back from the main sea front, like a lot of UK seaside towns, it's perhaps not the best looking neighbourhood, but it is by no means unsafe as previously stated, it's absolutely fine. Would happily stay there again if going back to Weymouth.

    thanks very much for your kind feedback. it is much appreciated. hopefully we will see you again Property Owner

    We had to contact the owners due to an issue with the plumbing while we were there but it was very quickly dealt with and didn’t impact upon our stay at all. No complaints, happy to recommend!

    thanks for your kind feedback.. glad you enjoyed your stay.. we will always try our very best to help guests with any problems. hopefully see you again Property Owner

  • "The cottage was comfortable and included every facility but the area it is situated in was terrible, which is why we have downgraded our response."

    The streets were covered in litter, fly-tipping and weeds growing as high as shrubs. In many respects we did not feel safe walking out especially at night as there were people hanging about the streets in the vicinity of the cottage. One you walked up the road towards the seafront things were much better. This is our second booking with Sykes and we had a problem with the first property and the outside, we also have another booking coming up in 3 weeks and when we were in Weymouth we did consider cancelling but reading the reviews on the next booking we are considering continuing with it although we shall look at the reviews again more closely. I am agreeing to publish our feedback because I think its only fair to prospect hirers.

    thanks for your feedback. we are very sorry you have not been happy with both your last holidays .we have never had any complaints about the area the cottage is situated in before ,in fact the feedback for location of the cottage has been a positive one .we are glad you found the cottage comfortable for your stay hopefully problems you said are a one off Property Owner

  • "Great location and a comfortable place to stay in."

    Quiet, lovely décor, spacious and the 2 car parking permits made it very convenient as you can park for free in Waymouth's car parks including Lodmoor's Country park so saved some money. I actually parked next to the house overnight as from 6pm to 9am it is ok with the permit but can also park in any car park at any time for as long as you want but it is a 10 min walk so with two little ones on my own would have been a bit more difficult but not impossible. There are some things that I would recommend taking: there was only one tea towel (need more as there is no dishwasher), no sugar, salt or any herbs/spices if you are planning or cooking and there was no washing up liquid or pegs for drying wet clothing (but there is a washing line outside!). The outside sitting area is very tiny. Warning: it is impossible to contact Sykes Holiday Cottages and I would suggest to the owner that maybe there is an email address if someone has an enquiry as we got very frustrated trying to find out about the car permit. We really enjoyed our stay in the cottage, it is perfect for Weymouth area.

    thanks for your kind feedback and constructive comments. the extra tea towel is an excellent idea and will be implemented for the next guests.we do have complimentary tea , coffee, sugar, but feel with salt etc with them being left open could get contaminated. there should be washing up liquid and pegs provided,so will have a word with cleaning team about that. the courtyard is advertised as small but can still fit a table and 4 chairs. we are sorry about you not being able to get in touch with Sykes cottages and will have a word about that. in future we will email the guests a week before their stay.with details about cottage and how to contact us. thanks again for your constructive comments and with what we are going to implement through your recommendations we hope to see you again Property Owner

    All the appliances are new and the beds are comfortable and the bathroom warm and cosy. Although there is no parking outside, the car was safe and the cottage is central for a walk to the shops, to Bowleaze Cove where you can get a nice coffee and walk the dog or up to Nothe Fort where there is a dear little tea shack and marvellous views of the harbour. . I would definitely make a return visit to Saddlers Cottage.

  • "Location was good for access to beach, shops and restaurants."

    We parked at Lodmoor with the pass provided by the owners, as there is crazy golf and go karting there which is ideal for any young people in your party and provides a pleasant walk across the seafront. You can also park at the Swannery if you choose. There is one hour parking in the streets close to the property so this was sufficient to load and unload our belongings. The owners were very helpful in letting us know of a local food fair in Weymouth, which we visited during our stay. We had a great time.

  • "On arrival it was a nightmare to drop off our belongings as the property was tucked away in a corner on a one way system."

    We had to access another property before we could get to the rental property to be greeted by no cats or dogs sign which wasn’t particularly friendly. The courtyard/outside space was tiny and we certainly did not sit out in it as there was no space and needed weeding. We could not even lock the outside gate so had to stand and watch the dog outside so she couldn’t escape. The house seemed tired and because of no natural night apart from a sky light at the back of the house it seemed dull. I was constantly having to clean the bathroom as blue fluff was everywhere from new towels obviously not washed before. Going by all of our socks the flooring was dirty and when I spilt water on the floor in the kitchen when wiping this up it was confirmed the floor was dirty. I’ve stayed in many holiday cottages and always left good reviews and never left a poor one but we had to be truthful, we would usually have been reluctant to leave unfortunately we were all glad to be going back to our home. For what we were charged it was simply not worth it and wished we’d gone for other places that were much better equipped. The upside Dorset is a lovely place and would love to visit there again sometime.

    Thanks for your feedback on our property and your stay . On the listing it does say the property's access is through the adjacent property and unfortunately, we cannot tell them to remove the dog sign which is on his bench.. But we welcome dogs because we have one ourselves We know parking is not perfect which is why we have purchased a parking permit for all our guests Our outside gate will be checked as we were not aware it did not work thank you for letting us know but we do have a maintenance team whose number is in the guest book and can be contacted and could have been sorted for you.. Yes, the towels are brand new as is everything else in the property and have been washed. We will inform our cleaning team/ maintenance about your comments on the kitchen floor, and yard as cleanliness is of paramount importance to us Property Owner

  • "Great property and great facilities."

    Had everything we needed with good Wi-Fi for working and watching our own firestick/tv channels. Also, everything you need in kitchen (dishes and utensils etc) was brand new. The only slight downside is the lack of parking (explained in property description) for loading/unloading but that’s the flip side to being in the centre of town and being able to walk to nearby beach and amenities. The owners kindly left a parking permit for local long-stay car park so easy to get the car for trips outside the town itself. Overall, this cottage was a lovely surprise and we really enjoyed our week away. Thank you!

    Thanks very much for your kind feedback. Glad you enjoyed your holiday Hopefully you'll stay again Property Owner

The property

Situated in the popular holiday destination of Weymouth with easy access to Dorchester rests this two-bedroomed abode, Saddlers Cottage, new to Sykes for summer 2023.

With proximity to local shops and pubs, outside patio area with furniture and generous living space Saddlers Cottage welcomes families or groups of friends as well as two well-behaved dogs for a memorable stay.

Enter through the shared access to the living area complete with Smart TV for relaxing with a film, continuing into to the kitchen/diner which is equipped to host dinner for four guests.

Head up to the king-size bedroom or twin bedroom to find all the essentials you’ll need, including a bright bathroom with full-sized bath, ideal for a long soak after a busy day exploring.

When you’re ready to get out and about there’s plenty of activities to have a go at and various places to explore, including open sandy beaches offering watersports and a lively harbour to sample local eateries against the backdrop of the picturesque seaside.

The catch of the day could be yours for those fishing enthusiasts if you take a boat trip out from the harbour, with pretty views of the coast too it’ll be a day to remember.

For a different way to explore the seafront take ride on the Weymouth Land Train with iconic views of the historic harbour and bridge.

If you’d like to explore the sandy beaches from a creative perspective take a trip to see the spectacular works of sand art at the Sandworld Festival, with café and refreshments and play area for under 5’s it’s ideal for a family day out, including the dog.

There are more adventures a little further afield in Portland Harbour or visit the rugged Isle of Portland, with its museum and castle you can indulge in a bit of history followed by a visit to the lighthouse for that real coastal experience.

Enjoy everything Dorset has to offer and more by booking Saddler Cottage.
