"Enjoyed our 2 week stay at Quay Cottage."
It was really comfortable and the kitchen had every item you needed. Bed in main bedroom was very comfy and bedroom was large with lots of storage. Courtyard was an added bonus as our first week was hot and sunny and nice to sit outside after a day out. Location is good although I think mention should be made in the description of the property of the steep approach to the property as some elderly guests may struggle with this. Would definitely recommend this lovely cottage to friends/family

"House was dirty and hadn’t been cleaned."
I have already sent a review. Also had numerous phone conversations with yourselves about the house but issue not resolved. Very disappointed. I’m sure the owner of the property would be mortified by how unclean it was.
Thanks for your feedback. As the owner, please accept my apologies that the house cleanliness wasn't up to standard this time. I understand from Dream Cottages, who manage the cleaning, that they sent a cleaner the next day to rectify the matter and hope this resolved things satisfactorily. I understand that the phone call situation was more convoluted than usual with Dream Cottages as it was out of their regular office working hours. Property Owner

"Had a wonderful stay at Quay Cottage."
A spacious and comfortable place to stay which was very well equipped and so convenient to Weymouth town, beautiful walks and local facilities. Thank you!
Glad you had a wonderful stay. We also think the location is spot on being both central yet in a quiet spot. Property Owner

"A very enjoyable stay at quay cottage, very well equipped, clean & in a good location, lots of toys, books & DVDs for my two grandchildren to enjoy."
If you are not travelling by car the public transport is excellent we went to lyme Regis for the day & it's very good value , just one mention I asked Sykes did the cottage have a hairdryer they said no but in fact it has two . We were lucky with the weather and had a great holiday, thank you
Glad your grandchildren found the cottage well equipped for their needs :). Re hairdryer, Yes we try to leave everything someone might reasonably expect plus more at the cottage - there hasn’t been a means to convey details like hairdryers being there historically - we will ask Sykes if there is a way we can now capture such information.

"Excellent property."
Ideal location as I prefer that side of the harbour. Excellent pubs just a few minutes walk away and Weymouth still has proper pubs unlike many places. Parking OK also. Beds and bedding very good quality. Very comfortable and also very quiet.
Thank you for your kind review. Glad you appreciated the house and its location - we think it’s in a sweet spot too! Property Owner

"Quay Cottage is a lovely place to stay."
We have stayed here twice and would stay again. It is in the perfect location to make the most of Weymouth. Close to local shop, Chinese, and the lovely Chapelhay Tavern. It's five mins walk from town centre, beach, The Nothe Fort and Asda & about ten mins to station. Beds are comfy and the shower is fantastic.
Thank you for choosing to stay with us again. Glad you love both the house and Weymouth itself. Have just put in a new wireless speaker gadget in the lounge so there will be a new ‘toy’ to play with next time. Property Owner

"We have been to Weymouth many times and came for Christmas with our 14 and 11 year olds in Dec 2023."
The cottage was a perfect base for our holiday. The cottage was immaculate, the kitchen spacious with all we needed to cook Christmas dinner, the bedrooms were incredibly comfortable and the location was ideal for easy walks to the harbour and other attractions.
Many thanks for your kind words. Glad you chose us for your special Christmas stay and that you had a fabulous time. We’d love to welcome you back again when you are next in UK. Property Owner

"An excellent property in an ideal location."
Parking is a problem but we did manage to park very near to the cottage. The facilities are excellent and the rooms are spacious and very comfortable. We've had a lovely stay. Thank you.
Glad you really enjoyed your time at Quay Cottage. On parking it’s a shame the council stopped parking permits 2 seasons ago which would’ve helped but nonetheless will update guest book this winter with some tips re nearby places to park. Property Owner

"We were pleasantly surprised when entering the house."
It’s spacious and has everything that you could possibly want. A pretty little courtyard which we didn’t get to enjoy because of the weather. Not far to walk to town and beach. One little niggle, the bathroom door wouldn’t close without some force, so we didn’t shut it, wasn’t really a problem for us. Parking was a bit of a problem, couldn’t always park by the house. Even so we would definitely recommend staying here.
Glad you enjoyed your stay and found the area conveniently located. Will look into the door- being wooden the doors do expand/contract somewhat seasonally. Property Owner

"Property was exactly as described and the layout and presentation was excellent."
Superbly located on the quiet side of the town but a 5 minute walk to the bridge into the mail town and access to buses going all over Dorset. A local Londis a 3 minute walk away stocked everything needed. And Hope square offered the Red Lion for food and drinks with other restaurants near bye.
Thank you for your kind comments. Glad you had a fab time. We love the location too - quiet yet a stones throw away from the centre. The Londis is indeed super convenient as you found out. Hope to see you again. Property Owner

"Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home it met all of our expectations, I believe we left it in the condition that we found it and we would certainly look to book it again may be next year."
Thanks again. Pete
Hi Pete, Many thanks for your kind comments. Glad everything met with your approval and we would love to welcome you to come to stay again. Thank you! Property Owner

"We were 3 ladies on holiday for a week."
The cottage is absolutely perfect for us. A bedroom each and plenty of living space. So close to the harbour, the town, the station and wonderful walks along the beach. Although there is no on site parking, we had no problem finding a parking space on the road nearby. This was our second time at Quay Cottage and would definitely come again.
Pleased you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for your repeat custom. Next time you stay you will see we will have updated the kitchen and the lounge TV. Property Owner
-
"A very welcoming property, very clean and tidy."
All facilities were more than adequate. The extras were way above what is normally provided. We would definitely book again. The parking was not an issue, we were able to park within a 100yds every day.
Glad you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the extra touches. Look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner
-
"We could have done with a clothes line."
It would be good if in future you could provide one
Thanks for your feedback. We have provided tumble drier and airer options and given your note have additionally now installed a retractable washing line in the courtyard should anyone want to make use of that option too.:) Property Owner

"Absolutely loved this cottage Location was excellent, spacious and comfortable ..."
Absolutely loved this cottage Location was excellent, spacious and comfortable Parking could be a headache but we managed to find space in the surrounding streets with ease, Definitely recommend this property
-
"Fantastic cottage just off the Quay."
We absolutely loved our stay. Being able to walk into Weymouth without looking for parking space was so much easier than in previous holidays.Having no permit wasn't an issue as we managed to park either opposite the property or a little further along the road. Would definitely recommend.
-
"Amazing property."
Everything you could possibly need. Great set up for children. Loved the play room and stair gates and having child friendly plates and cutlery was a massive bonus. So close to town and all amenities could be reached within 5-10 min walk. Managed to park outside the property most days but could become expensive if needed to use the car park. Fantastic will be booking again for sure.
Glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you back. Pleased the provision for children was useful for you - have recently put in some more children's books. :) Property Owner

"The cottage provided a comfortable stay."
Excellent self catering facilities with excellent array of kitchen utensils. We were aware very quickly of a quantity of black hairs throughout the property. Especially noticeable on the tiles, sink and inside cupboards in the kitchen, the stool in the bathroom and throughout our stay we kept finding them. We did wonder if they were cat hairs but we specifically chose the property as it was a no pets property, due to my husband’s animal allergies so could not see how they could be cat hairs. After a good clean I seemed to clear the main offenders but this did make us feel uncomfortable and concerned at the level of cleanliness at the property and if in fact pets had been present in previous stays. With a little more attention to detail on cleaning this would easily be 5 stars for us as everything else was such a high standard. The accommodation size is excellent. The amenities are excellent. The double bed was very comfortable and after a clean up we had a very enjoyable stay. Parking permit was very welcome as the parking outside the property is limited. We were very impressed with Sykes Cottages reservations team.

"Brilliant find!"
Quay Cottage is an amazing property - the photos didn’t do it justice! It was beautifully decorated & furnished, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable. Everything you could possibly ever need was in the kitchen, and it was refreshing to have nice glasses in a holiday house too ;) The location was great - perfect for exploring the area, but also quiet. The parking permit was a brilliant option to have, although we lucked out every day and managed to park right outside. We will definitely stay here again. The service and communication from Dream Cottages (Ian) was excellent too.
Glad you had a lovely stay and loved the property. We think its a sweet spot too in terms of close proximity and tranquility. Property Owner
-
"The cottage was absolutely perfect for us."
We were just a few minutes walk to the harbour and the town centre but quietly tucked away in one of the little streets. Although the cottage only has on street parking we didn’t find this a problem. We will definitely come again
Glad you enjoyed your stay; look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner

"The cottage is lovely but whilst not openly dirty the four poster bed needs a good clean, the frame was very dusty."
Underneath the radiators on the window sills cobwebs! The garden rear yard needs a good sweep and the sills wiped down Nothing that spoilt our stay but does need some attention Finally the key safe would not open on our exit and needs replacing. Having spoken to your people We left the cottage concerned about security!

"Loved it and extend our Gratitude to the amazing staff in the Weymouth office :)"
-
"Quay Cottage was beautiful, the pictures on the website don't do it enough justice!"
The house has a luxury feel especially in the bedrooms. Perfect location to be just outside the hustle and bustle whilst only a 5 minute walk to everything the beautiful town has to offer. We were so lucky with the weather and the garden space was a perfect little suntrap all day. The parking permit meant we didn't need to worry about our car all week or the stress of driving as we used the train and bus to go on our adventures!! Thank you Dream Cottages for a fantastic place to stay. We would DEFINITELY return.
Glad you enjoyed your stay and enjoyed the decor etc. Look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner

"Quay Cottage is lovely."
Great location. On a quiet street, only a few minutes walk down the hill to the beautiful harbour and under 15 minutes walk through the shops to the beach. House is larger than it looks from the outside with fresh decor, well resourced kitchen, nice bathroom and comfy beds. Parking is in short supply on the street but ok for dropping off luggage etc. We then used the parking permit provided for nearby car parks in Nothe Gardens which was a good alternative. Overall perfect house for our family holiday.
Glad you enjoyed your stay. It is a big a bit like a tardis and spacious. Decor even fresher now - kitchen is being given a fresh look for 2023! Property Owner

"Essential a second key is made available, we had to return late one evening so family had to stay up to let us in."
The alternative was to lock them in which is no alternative for obvious reasons.
Thanks for your custom. We listened - A second key is now provided. Property Owner
-
"A last minute booking, and what a find!"
Quay Cottage exceeded our expectations. It was wonderfully located just a few minutes walk from the Harbour, town and seafront, with lots of restaurants and bars. The Cottage had everything we needed for a self catering holiday. It genuinely catered for all our needs. The beds were extremely comfortable and that master bedroom had a luxury feel to it...very stylish! The cottage was spotlessly clean throughout. We would absolutely recommend Quay Cottage Thank you
Really glad you had a lovely time. We do like to maintain the property to a high standard and had changed the mattresses so its nice to see it is noticed and appreciated. Property Owner
-
"Fantastic property in perfect location."
Very close to harbour. Would definitely recommend and will be booking again at some point in the future.
Glad you had a great stay. We look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner

"Cleanliness could do with more attention."
Lots of dust and cup coasters found behind bed.
Thank you for your comments. We have clarified in the house welcome book that any cleanliness issues should be raised immediately with Dream Cottages who provide the cleaning service for us and they will address. Property Owner
-
"Lovely Cottage in a quiet area very close to the Harbour, well equipped, spacious with lots of extra touches (especially the toy room in the attic our Granddaughter loved)."
Position of Cottage being above the Harbour ( lovely views from the Loft) means the road up is steep & may be unsuitable for people with walking difficulties, not a problem for us, good for working of the fish & chips !
-
"Very little to fault with it: comfortable, clean, very good location (on the borderline between the fun part of Weymouth and a rather undesirable area) and very easy to live in."
The only minor issues were: 1) For a house of five people, there really needs to be a spare key. 2) The kitchen was very well equipped but a couple of pans might need replacing. 3) The welcome pack is not clear about what guests should do with recycling.
Glad you enjoyed your stay. Thanks for your notes and they have been followed up on. Have added a spare key, pans and oven trays we check and replace as required annually. Recycling is more awkward in Weymouth than many other areas - some options in the book are noted and emerging options will be added as the book is renewed annually but there is no easy trade waste option for recycling.

"The cottage was fantastic in every aspect."
We had an excellent holiday and the cottage only helped in that experience.
-
"Lovely cottage in a great location."
Really spacious and absolutely everything had been thought of. Could not fault in any way; a real home from home. Centrally located for walking to the harbour, town and the beach and the parking permit was great, with parking not too far away and could be used at other car parks around the area.
-
"Cottage was delightful, bigger than expected and extremely well equipped."
Everything had been thought of. The property is in a really lovely part of Weymouth and so conveniently situated. A perfect choice.
-
"Lovely clean and comfortable cottage."
Everything you could need in there. Lots of space for the 5 of us. Close to the heart of Weymouth. Only a couple of minutes walk down to Brewers Quay or the Chapelhay steps for the town bridge. 5 minutes walk to the beach. Had a fantastic time. Our only regret is we couldn't stay longer. Would definitely recommend this place.
-
"The house was lovely and comfortable."
We had to rewash a few glasses, cutlery and plates I think they had been in the dishwasher but had all white marks and food left on them. I prefer to wash by hand anyway. Would highly recommend this house.
Thank you for your kind comments. We have since replaced all the wine glasses and tumblers as they indeed the prior sets started to show signs of dishwasher use. Property Owner
-
"Really comfortable house for a family of 5, exactly as described."
Cleanliness very good, everything you would need. Felt like a home from home to us. Great location in Weymouth, short walk to everything.
-
"Excellent couldn't fault it, everything we needed and more."
Lots of extra little touches. I do think the courtyard could do with a tidy but up that's all.
-
"Very spacious cottage, great to chill and relax."
Loved the four poster bed. Enjoyed sitting in the Courtyard late afternoon in the Sun. Great position in Weymouth loved being so close to the Harbour.
-
"Quay Cottage and the service Dream Cottages provide is second to none."
The cottage it self has a home away from home feel. The location of the cottage is great, with a 2 minute walk to the harbour and a 10 min walk to the beach. We parked the car up on Saturday and didn't get back in it till we left the following Saturday. This was the 3rd time we've stayed in Quay Cottage and would highly recommend the cottage and booking through Dream Cottages to anybody. We are just gutted we won't be re booking for next year as we are getting married but hoping to return 2021.
Thank you for your repeat custom. Hope your wedding went well in the end given covid etc. Look forward to have you stay again. Property Owner

"Great cottage, so close to the harbour and town."
2nd time of staying at the cottage and will be sure to book again soon! Everything is there, home from home feeling. Clean and tidy from the moment we walked in the first day. Dream Cottages are a great company to book through and would highly recommend them to anyone. Thank you for a wonderful week in Quay Cottage. Made some wonderful memories whilst staying in Weymouth, including the surprise proposal from my man on the beach mid-week. We will be back again soon as Weymouth and Quay Cottage hold some very special memories for us. Stayed May 2018

"We really enjoyed our stay at Quay Cottage."
It was ideal for a family of five especially with the extra room at the top of the stairs. The only addition which would make the cottage even better would be an extra toilet. But thank you for making our stay in Weymouth great - Stayed July 2016
