"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.

"The property was not as clean as other years the pillar out side the property ..."
The property was not as clean as other years the pillar out side the property is still broken and fall on some one we did report this last year we had a good holiday and would stay in foot print again

"Amazing as always"

"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.
-
"The only issue is the parking bay was too tight for my vehicle."
Everything else is fine with the property.
-
"Lovely cottage and so very comfortable and clean."
Coastal path, harbour,sea, pubs,eateries and main shopping area all within walking distance could not have wished for a better place to stop, in a tucked away quiet spot outstanding.
-
"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 front door lock has been changed as i mentioned on my last visit."
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

"Footprint is an excellent location near to all the amenities of Weymouth."
The cottage had everything we needed and was very comfortable to stay in. The covered parking for the car was also a bonus. We loved it and will be staying again in the future .
-
"We had another lovely stay thank you and we shall book again"
-
"So sorry we had to put key back thru letterbox, as we couldn’t find code."
Only complaint was several doors difficult to open, but the gentleman in the office came over and took care of that. 10 o’clock is a little early to vacate, but overall a good time had by all, even nice neighbours!
-
"Footprints is a lovely place to stay everything is sparkling clean and very comfortable."
. It is an ideal spot for walking to the harbour around town and to the beach, all on the flat. Having private parking was an absolute bonus. We have already booked to stay again. Thank you
-
"It was lovely - clean and practical."
My only gripe was no leaflets or visitor book with good suggestions and local walks. We don't all have smart phones! But great location, comfortable. Thank you for the welcome pack and sorry to leave our shopping - we meant to take it with us!!
-
"Excellent property."
Very comfortable, clean, tidy, well equipped with a real home from home feeling. Wouldn’t hesitate to book Footprint again and will be returning as soon as possible.

Lovely cottage in great location, parking a bonus , everything you could need for a week away, only issue was the beds ,sadly so uncomfortable
-
"Great holiday the location is a way from the town but you can walk it no problem ..."
Great holiday the location is a way from the town but you can walk it no problem we did every day there is pubs near by and takeaways you get no noise parking out side the door we could let the dog out and she was safe due to the gates each end our 6 year old grand daughter loved it also she was safe to play out side it was so good we have booked for 2023
-
"Stayed here in July and as soon as we walked into the property we felt at home."
The layout is superb for a short holiday. Ideal for all local amenities and a short walk to bars, restaurants and the quay. Being gated suited our situation with dedicated parking and had no problems at all. Would certainly go back in the future.

"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.
-
"Amazing cottage,stayed here a couple of times now will definitely be back soon ."
Close to harbour life and town .
-
"Once again a lovely place to stay ."
Very clean.Good location
-
"Lovely, well equipped property in a great location."
The main bedroom was really nice although the shower cubicle was quite small. The second bedroom would be a very tight fit for two adults but fine for two children. We would definitely stay again.
-
"Lovely cottage, very clean, comfortable and had everything you need."
Great location. I stupidly left my iPad there but the great staff there sent it back and it arrived the next day. I was very impressed and very grateful. The bed was very comfortable and overall we had a fantastic stay. Would definitely stay there again.
-
"Lovely accommodation - enjoyed our stay!"
-
"It was quiet but also had extremely convenient access to the town shops and restaurants and also pleasant walks for our dog."
Interior of the cottage was beautifully decorated and the bed was luxuriously comfortable. Lots of cutlery and crockery and everything we needed. Easy a access to local beauty spots too. We met the owner and he was friendly and helpful. Would thoroughly recommend this cottage.
-
"Excellent property in a great location: 3 minutes walk from the old harbour and easy walking to Weymouth town centre and the beautiful sandy beach."
-
"Great location, very convenient."
Dedicated parking space a bit tight for space, especially if next door occupied.
-
"Yes we stay for two week and we love it Yr book need update because ..."
Yes we stay for two week and we love it Yr book need update because there different instructions in book that did not match untitled But did fine the settee are bit low not good for older people but I would stay again
-
"The house was located very close to weymouth town centre so i had no need to use my car ."
We was 5 min walk from the nothe gardens and fort the house was very comfortable with a large living/dining room. the main bedroom was large but the smaller bedroom was a bit small with two single beds. but overall it suited ours needs 100%
-
"Comfortable cottage ,clean and had everything we needed."
(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.
-
"We was very suprize as it had been updated."
It was all gray and silver. looked really nice. new carpets plus laminated floors down stairs. Gone was the leather furniture it really was nice to stay with the dog. will deff be booking it again.
-
"Cottage very clean ."

"The cottage was very clean, had everything you could need for a self catering stay."
Very peaceful setting and only minutes away from the harbour and town centre. Ideal location for exploring round and about. Would definitely stay here again
-
"We had a lovely stay, it was very clean."
Seems to have a radiator valve problem in the sitting room but apart from that we were comfortable and close to the heart of Weymouth. I wouldn’t hesitate to book there again.

Lovely property, very well located near all amenities - small issue with the valve on the radiator in the single bedroom - despite turning off the radiator was still red hot and son didn't like the window open as it went onto the car park
-
"Only thing that surprised us was that the TV didn't have all the freeview channels, otherwise we loved it"
-
"The cottage was excellent and comfortable everything we needed was there so close to harbour and town centre having a parking space was terrific would recommend footprint to all my family and friends will definitely be back thanks for great holiday ."
-
"I most enjoyed the location of the cottage very close to harbour and shops pubs ..."
I most enjoyed the location of the cottage very close to harbour and shops pubs and restaurants the only downside was the front door it has only got a dead lock on it and only one key not very safe for accidents or fires
-
"We have stayed at many Dream Cottages properties in the past including previous visits to Footprint."
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.
-
"This is a lovely cottage is a secure location, ideal for a relaxing break."
The harbour & town are within walking distance.
-
"The front door requires some attention when it's windy it blows right through the large gaps around the door especially the bottom."
-
"Fabulous time at Footprint everything you could ask for and more hope to return soon"
-
"Lovely accommodation and location."
Only drawbacks - ADSL internet is poor and parking space is small, you would not fit a big car into it.
-
"Best holiday let we have used, excellent letting agents, cannot fault in any way."
Very happy
-
"I have stayed in Footprint for years now that and Reaver are our favourite ..."
I have stayed in Footprint for years now that and Reaver are our favourite cottages handy for shops and Quay etc and we feel safe and secure
-
"The cottage is in a quiet but very convenient location for pubs and restaurants it's also close to the town and beaches you don't need to use your car which as it's own private parking place under cover and secure."
-
"We had a fantastic relaxing break for my Birthday at Footprint."
Weymouth is like our 2nd home we have been visiting for the past 18 years and for the last 3 years we have booked two holidays a year with Dream Cottages. The cottages we have stayed in have been wonderful and Footprint was no exception close to great places to eat and drink and even in the winter close to the beach for a blustery stroll.
-
"Good, well equipped cottage in a great location right next to Brewers Quay."
Also provided reserved secure parkng space which is a big bonus in the Harbour area. We have stayed in other nice Dream Cottages over the years but this is our first time in Footprint but we will definitely look to return. Stayed June 2018
-
"Very cosy and clean cottage."
Had everything you needed, you do not have to use your car everything within walking distance and liked the secure parking. Hope to go back in 2018.

The property
Situated in the exclusive and gated development of Shire Horse Mews, Footprint is a conversion from the original stables used by the Devenish Brewery in Weymouth.
Boasting a stylish lounge and a master bedroom with en-suite, this mews cottage is very comfortably appointed and well equipped.
It is light and airy and is warm and cosy for winter holidays, and is perfectly located for summer breaks. A short stroll away is ever-changing Brewers Quay area with cafes, restaurants and XV century Tudor house.
Just a few minutes' walk away is Newton’s Cove offering a lovely promenade walk and pebble beach which leads to Nothe Fort and Gardens, the perfect place for a picnic on a sunny day.
Weymouth's golden sands lie only about a 15 minute walk away from the property.
A brisk walk along the quayside to collect your morning paper will start the day well. Weymouth is a perfect location to lots to entertain and explore.
Whether you like walking or driving and visiting places, you will find a lot of destinations to choose from nearby if you decide to leave the beach behind.
You can visit beautiful Durdle Door and Lulworth cove which can be easily reached either with car or a bus, or you can choose to walk on the stunning clifftops following the South West Coast path.
It’s a challenging 16-mile walk, but very rewarding.
There are plenty of pubs and restaurants to finish your day with a tasty meal in Weymouth, with every type of cuisine available.
Venture along the coast to the east and visit the beautiful historic village of Abbotsbury with its Swannery and Sub-tropical gardens.
There are various attractions in the village with small shops and beautiful village streets, and with a visit to the Children’s Barn and St Catherine’s Chapel you can spend the whole day there, perhaps topped off with a tasty cream tea. Sleeping up to five people this lovely property will help you to relax and enjoy the delights of Weymouth and the surrounding area.
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!
