"House great."
Only problem the outside lights didn't work. They would trip the breaker for the boiler. Have booked for next year already.

"Really lovely property."
Close to Weymouth. Stunning decor and very comfortable furnishings and bedding. Really need more hooks on back of doors, dishes for cereals etc as ones available are too shallow. Bedrooms desperately need mirror or dressing table, nowhere to sit and no suitable mirrors except for dressing where there's one in hallway. But as other comment mentioned, spoilt out stay as dark early and outdoor back lights trip every time try and use them and plunged into darkness indoors and TV etc goes off. This made holiday this time of year difficult with the dogs as pitch black outside and picked this house purely for location and secure garden which we couldn't use after 4.30pm. Few fixes and would be 5 star

"Had a lovely stay and will definitely try to stay here again, if/when we return to the Weymouth area."

"The Chocolate Box is beautiful."
Modern with a luxury outdoor seating area. There is parking for two cars. The walk in shower is excellent and the bedrooms spacious. The third floor twin room is stunning. The property is highly maintained and very clean. We loved the USB socket. Whitby is a short walk away using the footpath to the right of the property. Easy slow 10 min walk away and there is an Asda two mins away. Central property in an ideal location.

"Had a lovely stay at the Chocolate Box."
We come to Weymouth every year and this is by far the best property we've stayed at. The layout has been well thought out. Perfect location. Just a 10 min walk to harbour, pubs and shops. Loved it so much we've already booked next years holiday here
Thank you so much for your kind comments Property Owner

"We have stayed at many cottages and this is one of the best."
Very clean on arrival. Great location for walking into Weymouth and quiet residential area. Garden secure for dogs . Our only small grumble was the lack of cleaning materials. Upon arrival there was just washing up liquid and anti bacterial spray, the lack of any cloths or tea towels made the first evening a challenge. We will however return and have booked our next stay already.

"This was our first stay at The Chocolate Box and it won't be our last."
We have thoroughly enjoyed our first family holiday with our 9 month old granddaughter.The property was exceptionally clean and the most comfortable holiday property that we have ever stayed in. The modern decor, furniture and fittings were all high quality and made it feel like home from home. The bedsheets and towels were lovely, clean, crisp and white. Ensuite, family bathroom and downstairs toilet had been thoroughly cleaned. The outside space was very secure and very pretty at night with the outdoor lighting. Location was fabulous, great for walking to the Quay via alley down the street(turn right out of house), you then have access to the sea, old harbour and Weymouth Beach, turn right and up the walkway, leads you to the coastal path and Northe Fort gardens. The house is set in a quiet residential street and sea views from the third floor. We would love to come back here again, it was super and all of us had a great holiday.

"We loved our stay at The Chocolate Box."
This was probably the most clean and comfortable holiday property that we have ever stayed in. The decor, furniture and fittings were all spot on, lovely quality and real home from home. The bedsheets and towels were lovely, clean, crisp and white. The outside space was very secure and very pretty at night with the outdoor lighting. Location was superb, great for walking the dog, access to the sea, old harbour and Weymouth Beach (but in a really quiet residential place). If I was being highly critical I might suggest a few more Pyrex dishes and perhaps a few more pans for cooking with as I did struggle cooking for a family of five. But apart from that we would love to come back here again, it was super
Thank you for your feedback. We have taken your suggestion on board and will rectify this Property Owner

Beautiful house in a very quiet location, ideal for us as a family of 6 with a dog (who loved the outdoor space) only slight issue we had was the outside bin only being emptied once a fortnight as it was full when we arrived

"Chocolate box, what a lovely Stay, Lovely quiet area."
Garden Was so lovely. We sat outside at night with the lights Lovely place to sit and chat and eat a meal together. Great place for a dog so secure The house had everything you needed. The beds were so comfortable and it was very clean. We will definitely recommend this house to anybody. And you never know we will be back one day. I would actually say it's more than 5 stars.
Thank you so much Property Owner

"Lovely stay at The Chocolate box, everything about this house is top class."
....lovely quiet location but just 10 minutes walk to the Quay and a lovely walk around the nothe gardens and sea front. Fixtures and fittings, settees, beds, garden furniture, wardrobes etc etc are all top notch. Nicely furnished and everything thought of. This was our 2nd stay and the addition of the en-suite was a lovely surprise.
Thank you for a lovely review. We wanted to achieve a home from home feeling Property Owner

"Lovely house."
Beautifully clean and warm. We particularly noticed the cleanliness as we are not dog owners and are quick to notice dog hair! Beds comfy, showers worked well and kitchen well equipped. There were certainly enough cooking pans etc to have a Christmas meal! If there is to be any negative comment it would be that the oven was unusually small - so it was just as well we had a turkey crown! We were pleasantly surprised that a small Christmas tree and other Christmas decorations were set up. It was in fact the best house we have rented for years.
Thank you so much for your positive feedback. We strive to make it as home from home as possible Property Owner

"Very nice house, comfortable, in a quiet location, yet within walking distance of the town centre and sea front."
My only small criticism is that there is a lack of cooking equipment sufficient for a group of five adults and a child. There are few cooking pots, and those provided are small in size. Perhaps the owner could purchase some more larger cooking pots. This minor point aside, the house was excellent, and I would like to return for another holiday.

"We had a lovely break at The Chocolate Box, the house was very comfortable and we were lucky enough to be able sit outside under the lights on an evening in October!"
We parked up our cars outside the house on Monday afternoon and didn't use them until leaving on Friday, everything is easily accessible by foot. Great pubs, cafes, restaurants & beaches just a short walk
So pleased you enjoyed your stay. We try to make the chocolate box, home from home for everyone. We are so lucky that everything is walkable Property Owner

"We really enjoyed our stay in your property everything finished off so beautifully it felt like a home from home ."
The outside area was lovely. Everything that we needed was there .Didn't want to leave thank you for our enjoyable holiday

"Very nice property would love to stop again"

"We had a lovely stay at the chocolate cottage."
Nice quiet street. Could have done with a dryer. Has we had to wash towels. If the weather was hot. Obviously wouldn’t need a dryer. But the weather wasn’t the best to dry the towels. When we got there some of the glasses needed washing. Also a dish had all porridge left in the bowl. I know that was obviously the previous guests that put it away with our washing it. I phoned about the washer door wouldn’t open. Some one came out quick. I would stay there again. Just hope the weather will be better. We have been coming to Weymouth for 7 years the chocolate box is the best house we have stayed in.

"Lovely house in a great location, quiet residential street, but only 10 minutes from the quay."
Well furnished and equipped and appliances were top notch. All in all a lovely property, in an excellent location, I'm sure we'll be back.
We’re so happy you enjoyed your stay. We really want everyone to feel like they are at home, as soon as they walk through the door Property Owner
-
"We enjoyed our stay very much, we would certainly recommend to others and would not hesitate to return (and hope to)."
Just a couple of recommendations: a second lamp in the lounge to allow reading and to create a more cozy feel, plus to avoid using the main light, also some proper cereal bowls (rather than the picnic ones we had to use).
-
"The property is excellent, very comfortable, and a great location as it's a 5 minute walk from the house to the harbour and Town Centre, Ideal for dog owners as the back garden is fully enclosed."
The only problem we found was the garden electrics would always trip the power and in doing so would trip the upstairs lighting, one of the switches to the left of the rear double doors is not operating correctly which may be causing the problem.
Thank you for your feedback, we have only just seen this. We will get on to this straight away Property Owner

We had beautiful stay i feel a bbq and patio heater would really be a huge benefit to enjoying the well kept coirt yard
-
"Beautiful property everything you need."
I recommend adding to the description that there is a washing machine as this may put people with young families off. I know I was nervous with a 4 month old thinking how am I going to wash her muslin cloths etc. Also the garden is beautiful feels part of the house another room, however, it would benefit from the cleaners giving it a sweep, wipe over and brushing the cob webs away. Also a foot stall in the living room to make it more comfortable to relax.
-
"Only Perhaps more cusions on the chairs in the garden."
larger Dinning plates and a coffee table in the lounge otherwise perfect. Thank you
-
"Loved the chocolate box only 7 minutes to the harbour lovely quite road"
-
"Property is well presented and fully equipped for your every need."
Patio area was really nice and with the outdoor lighting made the evenings a really relaxing time. Really close to the harbour/town and I suggest if your walking you turn right out of the property and then left down the alley and then turn right at the bottom and follow round, this takes about 7 mins…Overall I would stay here again as the experience was great and value for money…
-
"This property is ideal for a family stay."
I can honestly say that the standard of everything was A1. There was all you could possibly need and of a quality to be proud of. Cleanliness and decor superb. A quality home from home and well appointed. Would recommend to anyone
-
"The Chocolate box is a fantastic house, everything has been thought out well."
We thoroughly enjoyed are stay, in fact, we didn’t want to leave! If i were to say anything negative, and this is really searching for something, the bed frames on the top floor, do stick out a bit. so if your walking back to bed in the dark, you may walk into it once or three times!
