  • "Generously sized property."

    Nicely decorated and spotlessly clean. Has all the amenities and facilities that you could want and all well maintained. Busy (as you’d expect ) during the day but falls silent around 22:00. Lovely to receive communication from the owner just prior to our visit, shows that they care. Street Parking during the day is limited but a space usually becomes available mid to late evening

  • "Beautiful cottage, excellent location next to the harbour."

    This was our third time staying here, and we’ve just booked to return next year. The new owners have been so welcoming and have renovated the cottage beautifully, it was immaculately clean and is perfect for our needs with 2 young boys who call this their ‘holiday home’. Weymouth is one of their (and our) favourite places. Looking forward to returning next year.

    I like Weymouth a lot and I would love to stay at this property again and of course the sunny weather helped us enjoy our holiday even more. 10 out of 10.

  • "The cottage is delightful and the location, right by the harbour, is wonderful, provided one is happy to park on the road, sometimes nearly 1/2 mile away."

    The facilities are good and with two large bedrooms and two bathrooms, it works well for two couples. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and found the cottage clean and comfortable. The only things that marred our stay were the mattress, which was springy and uncomfortable, and the key box, which was very difficult to open and even harder to close.

    Thank you, Stuart, for your feedback. As new owners of the property who took charge after your holiday, we have already closed it to bookings for 5 weeks, changed the cleaning company and are currently painting and refurbishing it. Property Owner

The property

Harbour Tales is located adjacent to Brewers Quay in Weymouth and is a generous cottage set over three floors, ideal for a family or a group of friends looking for a coastal getaway to Dorset.

Be welcomed into this quaint cottage, discovering a contemporary kitchen/diner with ample amenities to cater to your culinary needs, whilst guests enjoy a wonderfully prepared meal and discuss the plans for the next day.

Three bedrooms await your relaxation, serviced by a bathroom and shower room, including a double and on the second floor there is a further double and twin room.

Located in one of the most picturesque and favoured areas in Weymouth, a few paces from the front door is the old harbour where you can enjoy a lazy afternoon watching the flotilla of fishing boats and yachts come and go or watching the children try their hand at crabbing.

In and around Brewers Quay there are numerous restaurants, coffee houses and pubs where you can enjoy a meal alfresco while bathing in the sun.

The town centre with its usual high street shops and cinema is a leisurely stroll away, as is the award winning long and sandy main beach with its shallow bathing waters.

Pretty Newton's Cove favoured by locals and children alike, the Nothe Fort and gardens with its coastal walk is nearby; a favourite with the locals and those seeking a quieter location.

Walk along the Dorset Heritage Coast and fossil hunt at Chesil Beach, or enjoy the scenery at Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens and swannery.

From here, head over to the seaside town of Lyme Regis where guests can explore the selection of independent shops, try out local produce, learn more about the Jurassic Coast at the local museum and even try out fossil hunting along the dramatic coastline.
