"Second stay here, this time stayed at upper butchers cottage, last time lower butchers cottage."
Upper cottage quieter from road noise, and well equipped in large island kitchen and beautiful views across the hills and farmland. Owners are lovely people , alistair and janet , who accomodate anything you need . Nice little garden areas on a nice sunny day is a sun trap. Central to dorchester and weymouth beach only 10 mins drive or bus from door to door. Would highly recommend as base for anglers 15 mins from chesil beach. Will return next year as love these cottages.

"Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Upper Butchers Cottage as did our two small dogs."
Very clean, spacious and comfortable. Lovely enclosed garden with seating to enjoy the sunshine. Apartment is well equipped and a very comfortable bed. Small shop across the road is very convenient and a regular bus (every 20mins) into Weymouth and Dorchester. We visited both village pubs and had good meals and the Sunday Lunch at Upwey Wishing Well was excellent (recommend).

"I had the most enjoyable stay at Upper Butchers."
Everything was spotless, airy and light. I was overwhelmed by place. The kitchen was very modern with everything that I needed. The living room was spacious, with a very comfortable sofa. I think that it was the best Sykes holiday accommodation that I have been to! The location is fabulous for all I wanted in the area - and there is plenty to see and do. The owners were very friendly and helpful.

"We had the most wonderful stay!"
Everything was exactly as described and more! The place is very comfortably furnished and the bathroom has the best shower I’ve ever used! Kitchen is very well stocked with all you can need for a self catering stay. Our hosts were very welcoming and helpful. Best of all was the fabulous view! Within easy travel distance to weymouth town, grocery store, pubs and restaurants. We loved our time here and will definitely plan to go back

"We stayed for Christmas this property is very very good Very relaxing break ..."
We stayed for Christmas this property is very very good Very relaxing break The owners are very close by and any thing you require is not a problem

"The cottage is lovely and the window seat with great view was very relaxing We felt very much at home and it was immaculate spotlessly clean and comfortable We enjoyed experimenting with the steam oven very quick and easy to use only problem is its made me want one for home !"
-
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage and was surprised that it is so spacious for just a cottage for 2."
However an idea would be to perhaps provide a little welcome pack for your guests as this is something many cottages provide now and is much appreciated and just adds that finishing touch
-
"Upper Butcher's Cottage is a little gem."
It is a very comfortable, well equipped, everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Alistair and Janet, the owners, are very friendly and welcoming, if you have any problem are very quick to put things right however small.
-
"Excellent and lovely owners."
Very good situation.
-
"Very clean, comfortable, light and well furnished."
Comfortable bed . Hot, powerful shower. Well equipped kitchen with modern appliances and knives that actually cut! I don't have any negative comments. For those who like a rest from driving, there are bus stops for Weymouth and Dorchester only minutes away. Keen gardeners should visit The Island Nursery for well kept plants and delicious cake - the perfect combination.

"We have just left upper cottage, what an amazing place, owners supper friendly made to feel very welcome."
The cottage itself has made our holiday, just perfect. Highly recommended for accommodation and area. We will be back. Thank you so much.
-
"Lovely cottage with lots on the door step, could have not touched the car all week."
Location was fantastic with shops , pubs and coast nearby.
-
"We were very pleased with the accommodation."
We loved sitting at the table in the big window in the lounge and looking out at the wonderful view. Very comfortable bed, for a good night's sleep. Shop across the road, very convenient and friendly staff. Very dog friendly place. People in Weymouth are very friendly and greet you, while out and about. We have already booked to go back to the lower cottage next year to do some more exploring of this wonderful area.
-
"Excellent apartment, ideally situated for Weymouth and surrounding area."
Very stylish bathroom and kitchen with all mod appliances. Great views from lounge window. Spotlessly clean, fitted out to a very high standard. Very friendly hosts. Ideal having a parking spot. Well stocked shop opposite, bus stop 50 yards away. Highly recommend and wouldn't hesitate to book again when visiting Weymouth.
-
"A surprisingly spacious apartment, having a good sized lounge with panoramic views over the hills surrounding Weymouth."
Highly recommended. The friendly owner of the property and his wife are extremely helpful. Best of all, where is a delightful ‘open all hours’ village shop right opposite the property for all the essentials one needs during your stay. Who could ask for more?
-
"Mainly very pleased with a lovely cottage ,be autiful views & a convenience store just across the road."
We would have liked a tea pot & some cerial bowls very minor problem!The local Pub was friendly &typical grub menu--- but only served food 3 nights a week. Buses to Weymouth run frequently. The Wishing Well is a must to visit especially if you enjoy Dorset Apple Cake--- the best I have ever tasted! Lovely garden area, For relaxing & safe for dogs
-
"The cottage was very comfortable, spotlessly clean and the view was fabulous from the lounge window."
While we stayed there sadly our dog got very ill and had to be put to sleep. The owners, Alastair & Janet were so very kind, caring and understood the pain we were going through. You could not wish to meet more genuine people so we would not hesitate in going back to them. Jim & Lorraine Walsh

"A lovely comfy apartment which gave us a good base from which to explore."
The garden was a real bonus. Highly recommended
-
"We had a simply brilliant break, the owners could not have been more helpful, what a lovely couple."
The cottage it's self was exceptionally clean with all that you could possibly want for a week away. (fridge/freezer a bit small though). Location is perfect for all the beaches you need, major supermarkets only a 3 minute drive away. For great meal out over looking the distant sea try the Fat Badger. Dave Emma and the Yorkies.
-
"Really enjoyed our stay at Upper Butchers Cottage, the owners were very friendly and helpful."
The kitchen and bathroom is a bit dated, but it all works fine and was sparkling clean. 42” LG smart TV with great connectivity is always a bonus, and the view over the Dorset hills is spectacular. The road is not particularly busy and since the bedroom is on the back, even with all the windows open at night it was surprisingly quiet. The garden is sunny till about 8pm in high summer which enabled us to use our own BBQ for some meals.
-
"The cottage was great lovely and clean."
The owner was very friendly. Would rather have a dishwasher than a washing machine, but that's just my preference. Would be good to have a bigger fridge even for just 2 people. Lovely views from the lounge window very calming. Would definitely come back.

"We had such an amazing week at Upper Butchers Cottage!"
The location was absolutely perfect for exploring Dorset and the cottage itself was spotless and super cosy. We were very lucky with the weather all week so made use of the enclosed garden! We really enjoyed sitting out on the deck chairs for a few hours in the evening after walks along the beach. Beach towels & dog towels provided which I thought was a lovely touch! We also loved the big window in the living room, the view is so nice and we enjoyed a cup of tea looking out on a morning! We visited Bowleaze Cove, Weymouth, Ringstead Bay, Lyme Regis, Dorchester, Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove, West Bay, Chesil Beach and Portland during our stay - all within an hour drive and all stunning places! It was our first holiday with our puppy Archie and everywhere was so dog friendly - it was great! We can highly recommend a few places to eat during your stay: - The Lookout Cafe at Bowleaze Cove for a top breakfast! - Lulworth Cove Inn - great little sun spot and really good food! - The Bell Cliff cafe at Lyme Regis - amazing views! Perfect stop for a coffee! - The cafe on Portland island does a delicious cream tea. - Lyme’s Fish Bar in Lyme Regis for fish & chips! - All the cafes/restaurants along the Harbour in Weymouth are lovely! Such a nice spot to sit for a drink or a bite to eat. We went to Custom House Cafe & Quayside Bar - both really good! We are quite honestly so upset to be home! The owners are also lovely! Very friendly and kind and we had a good chat with them :) I can’t recommend this beautiful cottage enough, we felt right at home all week and Archie really enjoyed himself too! I’m sure we will be back again!

"A brilliant holiday stay situated in the perfect location for the all places we wanted to visit."
It was clean and comfortable. Beach towels were a nice touch (but we had brought our own) as were the binoculars so we could look at the wildlife from the large window in the living room which had stunning views. The owners and their pets were incredibly friendly and made us feel welcome. The shared garden was lovely to relax in on a sunny afternoon. I highly recommend.
-
"The cottage is full of character and the views from the lounge were fabulous."
The cottage was lovely and warm and the facilities were very good. The garden, even in winter was a delight. During warmer weather it would be a joy to sit outside and have a meal. The owners were very friendly and on hand if we needed anything. Definitely recommend.
-
"Everything just as the description states: Beautiful accommodation with an amazing view."
Secure shared garden with ample seating Own parking spot Close to local bus network with easy access to Weymouth & Dorchester General convenience store directly opposite & pubs within 10-15 mins walk (Royal Standard & Ship Inn) Visit to the Upwey Wishing Well (around a 20-30 stroll) is a must, amazing lunch & cakes If you like exploring Durdle Door is beautiful, although the climb isn’t for the faint hearted! Too many things to mention but we will be coming back again to sample even more

"The hosts are fantastic and we wish them great success in the future!"
They couldn’t be more welcoming or helpful. The property is a wonderful mix of original and modern features, with really nice furnishings. It’s a very clean, comfortable, stylish and relaxing space.

About the location
UPWEY
Dorchester 4.5 miles; Weymouth 4 miles.
The picturesque village of Upwey lies just four miles north of Weymouth, nestling beneath the Dorset Ridgeway, and takes its name from the shallow chalk stream, the River Wey, which bubbles up here from an underground spring. Upwey is well-known for its Wishing Well, where George III once sought the benefits of the natural spring water. It is now a delightful tea room, serving lunches and traditional cream teas. There are a number of footpaths leading directly from the village to miles of unspoilt countryside, and close by is the market town of Dorchester, Thomas Hardy’s ’Casterbridge’. An easy drive or bus ride takes you to the popular seaside resort of Weymouth offering visitors glorious golden sandy beaches, excellent watersports facilities and a bustling harbour. An attractive village location and an ideal place to escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Please note: There is a flight of steps leading up to the front door of the property.
Please note: There are two steps from the living room down to the kitchen.
Please note: The garden is shared with the below property.
