Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
"Lovely little town house short walk from the harbour."

"The location of the property is really good."
Unfortunately the neighbour opposite on frequent occasions had very load music playing early and late at night. We did speak to them about this and it was turned down
Both gardens need a great deal of attention. The back garden is very overgrown and not pleasant to sit in. Also the levels of the garden are so uneven and a trip hazard. The accommodation was fine and the bedding was very good. One of the base cushions on the sofa moved and we noticed there was a lot of crumbs and dust collected which hadn't been cleaned. One more thing we felt that the mats on the steps to the front door were dangerous.

Good location near the north harbour area only a short walk to the bars, restaurants and beach. One small improvement - the towel rail in the shower room was not working so it was rather chilly in this room, when showering.

"On initial arrival everything looked good and clean on the surface unfortunately after being there about an hour we noticed food crumbs and dog hair between the cushions on the settee, also my dog lost her ball under the cooker which had a 4" gap under it when I retrieved the ball I was horrified to find mouldy bits of food that had obviously been there some time."
Also outside the backdoor was a smelly rubbish sack left from the previous people I then noticed an accumulation of dust around the base of the double bed and even worse underneath. On the Sunday we notified sykes of our findings and the dust and dirt issues was rectified that day but the rubbish was not picked until Thursday which had attracted quiet a few flies so on this occasion the cleanliness fell short, also the garden needs some maintenance.

It was in a perfect location just 5 mins walk to the harbour side.
Fenders was clean and comfortable and has the most beautiful cottage garden which was a little sun trap.
We would definitely stay there again.
The cottage was also perfectly located for a beautiful dog walk over the fields overlooking Nothe Gardens.
Many thanks for letting us stay in your beautiful cottage.

Could replace the master bedroom side tables with much smaller ones to fit in a king size bed.
The TV set up is poor and needs updating.
Great location.
Thank you for your valuable feedback and pleased you loved the location of Fenders. The owner takes all feedback on board and has now ordered a new sofa to make their guests stay more comfortable. We look forward to welcoming you back to Dream Cottages again soon.

"The property needed a new dose of TLC."
Location and most facilities were adequate.
However the main settee was basically on its last legs and needs replacing.
Beds were comfortable , wet room interesting, galley kitchen , great for 1 person in the kitchen.
However we did enjoy our stay and would return to sunny Weymouth.
Thank you for your valuable feedback and glad you enjoyed your stay. The owner has now ordered a new for her guest’s comfort and the property will be spruced up over the winter. We look forward to welcoming you back to Weymouth again soon.

Short walk to anywhere. Near to the town and harbour on one side and the sea and Nothe Gardens the other! Excellent dog exercise park about 5 minutes away too with beautiful views! Cottage comes with a parking permit for some carparks although we mostly parked in the road the cottage was on. Very useful having 2 toilets (one upstairs, one down) and the wet room was great. Extremely comfortable cottage (mattress was excellent!) and is much larger than it appears from the outside. Beautiful cottage style garden was a bonus and a real suntrap! Would definitely recommend staying here and we hope to again!

"Cottage looked a lot bigger than it was on the video on your website."
Kitchen very cramped only one person could be in at one time and for a family like us who do all our meals normally very uncomfortable. Location was spot on and the garden would have been nice if it were not so overgrown. Bushes needed a good trim, washing line couldn’t turn as got stuck in bush. No broom, did not want to use a large hoover every time. Having been with Dream Cottages for 10 yes plus most time at least twice a year, did not think this cottage was anywhere near as good as some we have had and definitely not worth the money we paid. Sorry.

Where you’ll be staying
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!
