• "Anvil House is a lovely property in a great location."

  It is very quiet, but only minutes away from the lovely harbour and even closer to the coast path going west towards Portland.The welcome pack was an unexpected and delightful surprise.

• "We found Anvil House to be supplied with everything we could want, from equipment and utensils to furniture and bedding, with information on "how-to-use", "where-to-go" and "what-to-do",both for indoors and out."

  The "Welcome" items were much appreciated, as were the spacious wardrobes which easily accommodated all our clothes and luggage. The interior has been finished to a high standard (and quite recently, to judge from appearances). The allocated parking space was generous and convenient to hand, and the house is within moderate walking distance of shops and supermarkets, and an easy stroll to the Nothe Fort one way and to riverside pubs in the other. We enjoyed the experience and rate it the best venue we have come across in several years of using this holiday style.

• "We loved the hamper on arrival and how clean the house was!"

  There was everything and more than we needed to make our stay comfortable, so close to the sea and so close to public transport that we used buses and trains to get around, only used our car a couple of times!! Would highly recommend Anvil House

• "Couldn't fault anything, very quiet neighbourhood with an easy walk into the harbour and town."

  Car parking was a bonus and we used public transport to visit Dorchester, Bridport, Portland, Poole and of course we enjoyed the many walks around Weymouth.

  Reviewed by Fred5.0★Apr 2024

• "Anvil House is a convenient location for our walking holidays."

  The property really requires an outdoor washing line as the small airing racks provided are inadequate for drying swimwear, swim towels, wet raincoats and over-trousers etc. The racks are too small and unstable to use outdoors and the tumble drier is inappropriate for such items. Apart from this significant problem, the property is comfortable and well equipped. The 'Happy Hamper' and pint of milk received on arrival were lovely. Thank you. The team at Dream Cottages were very quick to sort out the rapidly dripping kitchen tap that we reported on arrival.

• "We loved the soundproofing, and never heard any noise from either side."

  Nor was there any traffic noise or rowdy behaviour in the area. The house was well appointed and the location for beach, town, and harbour was excellent. The furnishings and curtains were good, and plenty of coat-hangers too! The range and quality of equipment provided were very good. One negative was lack of shelves and storage space generally. Although the house was small, some shelves and/or bigger drawers/cupboards for clothes, toiletries etc. would have been useful, especially in the bathroom.

• "Very comfortable and in a good location for our walking holiday."

  Have booked again for next year but REALY COULD DO WITH AN OUTDOOR WASHING LINE OR ROTARY LINE please. We were very worried on arrival to find the key safe left open and house keys falling out. Reported this immediately to the nearby Dreams office as anyone could have gained access. Found some food left in kitchen cupboards and peanuts dropped on the lounge floor, clearly not noticed by the cleaner!

• "Excellent place to stay."

  Very comfortable, clean and tidy. Everything you need for a stay. Just one problem for us was that we are not familiar with tumble driers and there were only very basic instructions apparently available. Therefore we were reluctant to use that facility which was a shame.

• "The settee was very uncomfortable and cold."

  The house was cold and needed tea strainer and oven gloves. The bedroom net curtain kept falling down. The main bedroom smelt bad. The area was really run down and the path closed and brewers Quay decapitated. Really disappointing and should have been mentioned in listing. The house was cold small and dark. No blind on kitchen door so not private and garden gate didn't feel safe or private. No washing line. Trailer parked by my vehicle and I heard them shout your going to hit it. So had to go and ask them to be careful and move vehicle as they needed to access house there this went on for 2 days so had to move van which was inconvenient and cost money. Tv kept pixalating as scart lead loose and limited channels. Dusty and dated in general. Disappointed.

  Sorry to hear you did not enjoy your stay at the house. I always take customer feedback seriously but do not understand why the house was cold as there is a thermostat in the lounge to alter the heating. Also surprised you said the house was dated as the pictures on the website accurately reflect the style of the house. A new bathroom was installed four years ago and a new kitchen in March 2020. There is no net curtain on the kitchen door as it is an internal door leading into the utility room. The garden has fences high enough either side to ensure privacy from the neighbouring properties. One property path does pass the back of the garden so they can view the garden when accessing their house by the back garden. Brewers quay has three good quality restaurants/cafes and one of the nicest pubs in Weymouth. I will pass on your comments about the dust and lack of oven gloves to the cleaning company Property Owner

• "Supplementary heating would be good in the wet and windy Autumn days that we had, as the central heating was switched off during the “summer season” ."

  Also the towel rail should be on a separate heating circuit to the central heating as it only heated up when the central heating was switched on in the winter time. Otherwise it was in a good location near the town and well equipped.

  It is disappointing to hear that the house was not warm enough for you. I can confirm that the heating is never switched off during the summer months but that I leave the thermostat on low so that people can adjust the heating to their own level of comfort. I can only assume that a previous holiday maker had switched off the heating at the control panel in the kitchen. There are instructions in the house information folder in how to adjust and turn on & off the heating. Also the house is four minutes walk from the Dream Cottages office and I am sure a staff member would have popped up and turned on the heating for you. I hope you enjoyed your stay despite the house not being warm enough for you”. Property Owner

• "Absolutely fantastic location and really well equipped holiday house."

  My mum, daughter and I had a wonderful week here. Our only gripe was the cleanliness. Having spent what we felt was a lot of money on the accommodation we ended up cleaning the property and washing up much of the crockery before we fully unpacked. The tumble drier had not been emptied of water and fluff. After we’d cleaned however the accommodation exceeded expectations and I would recommend this property as the pros greatly outweighed the teething problems.

  I am mortified that the house was not in a clean condition when you arrived as this is the first complaint about the house cleanliness we have ever received. I have contacted you directly to apologise. I have spoken to my cleaning contractor who confirmed that this was not our regular cleaner and I have asked for this person not be used to clean the Anvil House again. Property Owner
