• "This was our third visit to the cottage after a 11 year break."

  The cottage had been redecorated and kitchen revamped since our last stay and it looked much better. The welcome box was lovely to find and a pint of milk which was great. The cottage is ideal for exploring the harbour, nothe fort and Newtons cove all within 5 mins or so walking.Our stay was comfortable but we did find the walls between the cottage not great soundproofing! A few negatives, pillows are in real need of being replaced on the main king size bed, totally worn out and pillow protectors on the twin beds were stained. A bread board is needed in the kitchen. Our big negative point is lack of recycling. We resulted in taking cans, plastic and glass to the recycling bins on the sea front. Local Asda had no banks for cans, glass or plastic. We've stayed in many cottages and recycling has always been part of the cottage's instructions. Apart from that we love Weymouth and would stay again at Footsteps.

• "We love all the cottages but the en-suite shower in Footprint is much too small."

  I'm under 5ft tall and size 14 but I struggled with it. A second handrail on the stairs (in all cottages) would be helpful for less mobile visitors. We've already booked for next year!

• "We had a great stay at Footprint as it provided all that we needed."

  The kitchen was a good size and well stocked, although a pizza cutter would have come in useful. The bed in the main bedroom was comfy and it was great to have a parking space though it is was quite tight.

  Thank you for your feedback and we are pleased that you had a good holiday at Footprint. I have now replaced the pizza cutter, thank you for drawing it to our attention. The dream office do have the authority to get such replacements should needs be, so another time, do contact them if you feel something is amiss. Kind regards, the owners Property Owner

• "Lovely property with the perfect location for the harbour."

  Great house and size for us as a family of 2 adults and 2 6 year olds. Property had everything we needed. It was clean enough but under the furniture had not been cleaned very well. Having said that we would stay again and they gave us a beautiful welcome pack which was very much appreciated when we arrived late at night on our first day.

• "‘Footprint’ is ideally situated for all the amenities and attractions in Weymouth, with only a three minute walk to the harbour."

  Facilities within the property are excellent and the welcome pack was much appreciated. I am sure we shall be back in future years.

• "Lovely property very clean and in lovely quiet location."

  If I had to make one criticism it would be the lack of anywhere to put all your toiletries, no shelving, no cupboard or toothbrush holder in the en-suite, other than that everything was great.

• "Footprint is a lovely holiday let in the private Shirehorse mews block."

  We have stayed in the adjoining property several times over the years-this was our first stay in Footprint. We were very kindly moved by the owner having booked in Goliath which was unavailable due to building work on a nearby house. Footprint was generally scrupulously clean and really well maintained. We have a few points we wanted to raise to improve the experience -the pillows were desperately poor and some of the pillow protectors were stained-surely these should have been replaced-and the main mattress was very worn, lumpy and really uncomfortable . It is a shame that the mattress and pillows let down what is a superb property-we find this is a general issue with holiday lets that the mattresses and pillows are not being renewed when they are clearly worn out.

• "We have stayed at the cottage on a number of times, the cottage is brilliant, comfortable and everything you need and an extra bonus it has car parking."

  It is always clean and well kept. The only thing was that one off the mattresses in the twin room has seen better days, some springs popping through. We are definitely booking again. Would not stay anywhere else in Weymouth. We had a brilliant holiday

• "This is not in the property but out side the little pillar outside the front."

  door the capping stone was loose and came off the top and cut one off us on the leg so this needs looking at we stood it down the side of the pillar so no one else would get hurt but the property its self was 100% ok and will look at booking again

• "The property was not clean the floors were very dirty the carpets were covered with dogs hair."

  The kitchen was falling apart and some of the pans you would not want to use.

  We are disappointed to see that you gave Footprint such a low score. We try to check the property between guests if we can to see if there are any obvious issues that we can attend to. I did go to Footprint to try and check in good time before the arrival time of 4pm but you were already there. It is a shame you didnt mention the issues to me then or even contacted the agency afterwards as they could have arranged for a cleaner to attend again to clean the floors hoover the dog hair and perhaps tighten any loose kitchen doors and clean any pans. I do carry spares and could have changed any when I was there. Also the agency have the authority to purchase something specific if needs be. We will certainly check the kitchen on our next visit as we do not quite understand what you mean when you say it is falling apart. We hope your next holiday wherever it may be will be an enjoyable one. Property Owner

• "I have used Dream Cottages for holidays since 2013, a number of times in the Brewers Quay area of Weymouth."

  Once again they amazed me with the quality and cleanliness of the accommodation. The property, located in a gated Muse, is well appointed and has everything you need for a great self-catering holiday, or just to use it as a base whilst exploring the area. Covered parking opposite the property is an added bonus too. Pubs and restaurants are 5 minutes away in Hope Square and even more a minute or two further, to the harbour, or 10 -15 minutes to Weymouth town centre and the beautiful beach, (a smallish section by the Pavilion and amusements is dog friendly all year round). The property's master bedroom on its third level, has a very comfortable king-size double bed. There is plenty of storage space in the bedrooms and the master has the added bonus of an on-suite bathroom, albeit getting into the corner shower could be a bit of a tight squeeze for some! That said there is a further bathroom opposite bedroom 2 with a bath with hand shower over, and a cloakroom toilet downstairs. The kitchen as with the lounge and rest of the property is excellent. One slightly negative point is that in the description of the property, whilst it mentions a small patio to the front, it fails to mention there is no garden. As a dog owner, this could be a problem if you don't want to let your dog roam around the courtyard area. However 5 minutes and less than half a mile away along Newton's Road, overlooking Newton's Cove and Portland, is a lovely, safe, cliff-top open space to exercise your four legged companion. Alternatively, a lovely stroll can be had through Nothe Gardens, again a few minutes away. Whilst during my stay there was construction work taking place opposite Shire Horse Mews and also nearby, long term renovation work to the listed buildings of the old Devenish Brewery, neither caused an issue during my stay. Would I stay at this property again? Definitely yes, and use Dream Cottages for my next booking? Most definitely.

  the only thing which lets the place down a bit is the vacuum cleaner. it does not do a good job of picking up hair from carpet i tend to bring one with me i know some people won't even pick a hoover up while they there but i don't i prefer to hoover every day on the whole a very nice property

• "Very enjoyable break in Weymouth staying at Footprint and to be clear from the start, we were happy enough with the property, but there are a few things for anyone proposing to book, as well as the Letting Agents (Dream Cottages) to bear in mind, we think."

  Firstly, the booking in time of 4.00 pm is very late in the day in our opinion, we contacted Dream Cottages to ask if it could be any earlier to be told No, as they couldn't say when the Cleaners would be finished and they needed the parking space...fair enough, but I then asked if we could be updated and advised via text when it would be available, only to be told that the Cleaner's don't contact anyone booking...again fair enough, so I asked if they would be able to contact Dream Cottages and then they, in turn, could contact us, but this was apparently not an option. Note to Dream Cottages, how about a bit more communication with those booking to update booking in times, seeing as booking in time is so late in the day? To add insult to injury, other families who were staying at adjacent properties managed by Dream Cottages simply turned up early and were allowed into their cottages as the Cleaner was finished by much earlier in the afternoon it transpired! Secondly, there was a lovely little Welcome pack of milk, tea, coffee, biscuits, jam and chocolate, lovely touch...but , there are absolutely no cleaning products in any of the Bathrooms and WC in the property at all. Never experienced a lack of such simple hygiene requirements in any other property we have booked. Come on Dream Cottages, sort that out immediately! Then there is the parking, it is brilliant to have parking attached to a property which is so close to Weymouth harbour, but be advised, it is a very, very tight space indeed. The people parked next to us had a large 4x4 and did struggle at times, fortunately our car is only medium sized, however, it was still a delicate bit of parking along with a very tight squeeze to get out of the car door against a wall, and I am certainly not oversize, shall I say. The property itself is very good, excellent smart tv, a good sized kitchen with everything you would need on holiday, but there is a complete absence of information concerning local attractions so do your own research, plus the second Bedroom would certainly not be suitable for 2 adults, and finally, the shower in the En-Suite is one of smallest I've ever experienced, although on the plus side, the pressure was brilliant. This is probably the lengthiest review I've ever done for a holiday rental, but, we felt that the enigmas of Footprint just had to be pointed out. We loved Weymouth and Dorset to bits by the way, it was our first visit and certainly won't be our last, but we'll probably find another property to stay at next time. One final ps, The Red Lion pub is a 10/10 for food and beer in our opinion

• "We have not used Sykes since our last stay in Weymouth in 2019, we did book for 2020 but due to lockdown the booking could not be fulfilled, they handled things very badly re no refund and I vowed never to use them again, however we decided to give them another chance as they did eventually refund me in full for what I had paid and they did apologise, it was a battle to get reimbursement but they resolved things to my satisfaction and I believe everyone deserves a second chance."

  We have stayed in this area previously in a different cottage, “ Footprint “ was perfect re location etc and facilities, Dream Cottages ( part of Sykes ) are very helpful and have a wonderful team, it’s also great to have there office less than a 5 minute walk away, to summarise would I use Sykes again ? Yes I would as we had a great time. We would definitely stay at either “Footprint “ again or the next door property “ Reaver “ depending on which had availability for the dates we require in 2023.

  (Wi Fi was a bit hit and miss ) This cottage is advertised as suitable for 4 persons but in my opinion you would need to be very good friends or a small family as the second bedroom is quite small and compact. The cottage is very close to amenities shopping and dining out will not be a problem if you don’t wish to cook. We took our dogs and you should be aware there is no private garden for them to use just shared facilities but on the other hand there is private car parking. We enjoyed our stay but unfortunately would not visit again as it didn’t suit our needs.

  Although the location never fails we were extremely disappointed with the general condition of the property . The floors had clearly been hoovered but not mopped, the kitchen floor was particularly dirty. There were tea stains on the skirting by the bin in the kitchen and most rooms had sitting dust in areas such as skirting boards and tile trims. Also the matresses have clearly seen better days , not comfortable at all.
