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.

We found the cottage very comfortable clean and ideally situated, the only fault is that in the kitchen there was no cupboard space to put any food, but we will be booking the cottage for next year, the out side space was ideal

The property was clean, cosy and homely and had everything we needed. The bed was really comfortable and there were plenty of hangers to hang all of our clothes. The location was perfect, being just a short walk from the harbour. We loved our stay here and wouldn't hesitate to book this cottage again.

"Great location, very clean and comfortable."
We had a lovely break thank you. Well equipped. My only suggestions would be to consider providing bin bags and perhaps some basics eg. Salt and pepper. It would also be nice to have somewhere to store food. We also mentioned to dream cottages about the wooden bar over the gate: this either needs to be removed or a mind your head sign/padding installed as my husband hit his head on it. However these are minor points and the cottage is overall great.
Glad that you enjoyed your stay at Kingfisher Cottage and thank you for
taking time to provide feedback. Apologies regarding the bin bags, this must
have been an oversight as they are usually provided. I take all of your
points on board and hope to welcome you back in the future

We couldn’t have asked for a better week weather wise and the house was just perfect. A lovely, quiet area and parking is a bonus. Just a short walk into Brewers Quay for the harbour and a further ten mins over the bridge and into town.
The house was so clean and the furnishings made it very homely. Beds were really comfortable and plenty of towels left. Fully equipped for all our cooking needs and it was lovely to use the conservatory and garden in the nicer weather. It’s a real sun trap out there in the afternoons! Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

"Very clean and comfortable."
Ideal size for a family of four. The area is very quiet and only 2min walk to the coastal path with lovely views out to sea.
The house has everything you need if you need to cook and even in October the conservatory was warm enough to eat in. The house was also warm and rarely needed the heating on. Beds were very comfy and we were provided with plenty of towels. Park at the back of the house and walk through the back gate into the house for unloading the car. We would definitely stay here again when visiting Weymouth.

"We were very impressed with Kingfisher Cottage and can only make 2 minor observations."
It would be helpful if a small hand towel was left in downstairs toilet. Also, one day we had difficulty with key box outside front door with keys inside We informed Dream Cottages who did fix the problem which appeared to be the large back door key was too large for the box and was jamming it closed. I would suggest that only front door key was left in box. But overall we enjoyed our holiday even though it was cut short by 1 day due to rail strike.
I'm really pleased that you enjoyed your holiday. Thank you for your feedback which I fully take on board. Apologies regarding the key, it should not have been in the key safe and is usually kept indoors.

"The house is amazing, just what you need for a very enjoyable holiday."
The only down side was the kitchen it is so well stocked with everything you could possibly need it leaves very little cupboard space to put food if you want to cook. The big fridge freezer has a very useful water cooler built in which came in very useful on the very hot week we had.
The decked area out the back makes a great place to sit of an evening and chill as the sun goes down.
The house is well placed with a short stroll down to the harbour and the town with its amazing beach just 10 minutes further.

Also in the kitchen and conservatory some of the wooden flooring doesn't meet well, trapping your feet if not careful.
