  • "What a wonderful little cottage the nightingale is."

    .we have stayed in many cottages around the maltings area over the years and the nightingale is by far the best…very clean and cosy, we felt at home from the first day..everything we could possibly need was there and the dog loved the large garden..also being able to park right next to the cottage was a big plus for us..next time we’re in Weymouth, will definitely be back..thanks again for a lovely relaxing week…

    Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. It really warms my heart to hear how much you enjoyed your time at the Nightingale! Thank you again and I hope you’ll visit again soon Property Owner

  • "We had a lovely two weeks in the nightingale, it had almost everything you needed, except there was no casoral dishes for cooking and no toast rack, we also reported that the extraction fan over the cooker was making a terrible noise, on the day we arrived, so we were unable to use it for our stay, we reported it to Sykes cottage did not get a reply, other than that we had a great stay here."

    Many thanks for your feedback. I’m so sorry that the extractor fan didn’t get sorted out - I will look into that for you. I’m glad you had a happy stay. Very best wishes Jane Property Owner

  • "The Nightingale is a lovely little house and very well located."

    It took us about 10 minutes to walk from it into Weymouth. The beds were so comfortable, maybe the best I have ever had away from home. There was an issue with the tap in the sink in the bathroom, we received a call to tell us about it. it wasn't anything major, and nice to be notified. The area was very peaceful and easy to find. The only thing that would be an advantage would be a downstairs loo. All in all a great holiday. Thank you

  • "Lovely, clean and well decorated property with a safe enclosed garden for our dog."

    Also a lovely smell of wood when you enter the property. Quiet location and 5 min walk (if that) to the harbour area. Walking distance to Weymouth shops, beach & Nothe Fort. Also a short drive to Durdle Dor, Lulworth Cove, West Bay & Dorchester if you want to explore a little further out like we did. Would definitely recommend this house for your stay in Weymouth.

    That’s lovely feedback. Many thanks and I’m so pleased you enjoyed your stay Property Owner

    Lovley property which is close enough to all the local amenities, clean tidy and fully equipped would definitely recommend it to friends and family

  • "Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Nightingale with its interesting art and craft decor."

    The property was spotless and we lacked for nothing.It was a good location for either walking on the cliff or down to Nothe Fort and the harbour.There are two steps up into the property which would benefit from a hand rail for people with a mobility problem

    Many thanks for your feedback Anthony. I’m so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

  • "Home was cosy, well presented and a great walking distance from Weymouth Harbour."

    Beds and pillows very comfortable. Heating was very easy to navigate. Sachets of tea, coffee, milk and biscuits were nice to see. Great garden but maybe need to check for dog mess between renters, as there were a few piles which had turned mouldy. Not everyone picks up their dogs mess :( One toilet roll for 3 nights for two adults not great.

    Hello June I’m so pleased that you found The Nightingale cosy, comfortable and in a great location. I’m so sorry about the dog mess in the garden. The grass is cut every two weeks and I can only think that it had happened within that period. I believe the loo roll and other bits are just there for your comfort on arrival. We’d be very pleased to find out (apart from the dog mess) what let the rating down? I strive to provide a 5 star experience and am so sorry you didn’t feel it deserved that. Looking forward to your further comments. Very best Jane (the owner) Property Owner

    Just a couple of thoughts, there were 3 potato peelers but no masher and a chopping board would have been useful.

    Hello Susan. I’m so pleased you enjoyed your stay. We have put a potato masher in the house now. Apologies it wasn’t there initially and thank you for your feedback. Property Owner

    The place was immaculate warm cosy , The bed was so comfortable and we both slept well . So many walks in the area for our dog also the bonus of a lovely garden . One criticism we have a small dog and he manage to escape out of the garden (Top right hand corner) after that we kept him on a lead .we loved it so much have booked again and will return in a couple of months

    Hello Pauline. I’m so glad you had a comfortable stay and enjoyed your holiday. I’m sorry to hear about your dog escaping… I will fix that hole as soon as I can. I’m sorry that the facilities let the rating down a little... May I ask how we could improve on this please? And I’m delighted that you’ll be returning!

The Nightingale is a beautifully-presented, semi-detached house located in the heart of Weymouth, in Dorset.

Perched on the edge of Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and overlooking the coast of Weymouth Bay, this property is ideal for families and friends looking for a sunny, seaside holiday.

Make your way into a homey sitting room, complete with plush sofas and a Smart TV for you to spend your evening in front of.

Moving further into the property, you'll find a kitchen/diner well equipped with everything you need to make your favourite meals and breakfasts which you can either enjoy around the dining table or around the outdoor table in the pristinely-landscaped garden.

Come back inside when it starts to get cold and warm up under the hot spray of the walk-in shower then head to bed in a soft double bed.

You'll find so much to do in the seaside town of Weymouth with its endless supply of eateries like the Old Rooms Inn, an inviting pub with a waterfront terrace, The Cactus Tea Rooms where you can tuck into a lovely afternoon tea, and The Crusty Cob where you'll be able to pick up fresh pastries and bread for breakfast.

Visit Nothe Fort, an open museum in a Victorian fort, walk up Weymouth Stone Pier to take breathtaking pictures of the bay, then end the day by cooling down in the water at Weymouth Beach.

Drive up to Dorchester where you'll be spoilt for choice of museums with The Dinosaur Museum, Dorset Teddy Bear Museum with its collection of life-size and antique teddies, Dorset Museum and Art Gallery, and more.

Head to Dorset Falconry Park with its displays of over 100 birds of prey, and end the day with a stroll and picnic through Borough Gardens.

Then make your way to Bovington village to see over 250 animals at Monkey World - Ape Rescue Centre, walk through the five stunning, landscaped acres of the Walled Garden and stop for some tea at the patio café, and history-lovers will enjoy a trip to The Tank Museum boasting the world's finest collections of tanks and interactive activities.
