Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
"Lovely cottage and well furnished and maintained for guest comfort."

"Cozy, well equipped & thoughtfully presented cottage."
Everything as described on Sykes. We stayed here for the Jurassic Coast Mighty Hike & enjoyed a lovely week. Welcome hamper & fizz was a lovely treat, thank you. We previously stayed in Troopers Cottage in Frome with the same owners, so we had reassurance that the cottages are a high standard. We weren’t disappointed. We enjoyed walks around Weymouth, Isle of Portland, The New Forest, Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door. Recommended & would stay again. Thank you.
I'm delighted you enjoyed your stay at Kingeswic Cottage so much Michelle. Thank you for your kind review. You are most welcome at Kingeswic or Troopers Cottage any time, Anna

"Had a wonderful stay and Anna was great sorting any problems we had."
Place was great, loved the hot tub and would definitely use again if we come back. 5 stars all round and enjoyed the welcome hamper too.Only thing I would add is that there is a better place to park (as there is aways parking). If you park on shrubbery lane just after the school there is a cut through to the high street called collins lane. 2 min walk to house max. Thanks again anna for being a super star.
It's great you had a such a wonderful time Geoff! The parking tip is helpful, I'll add it to the details. We hope to see you again soon, Anna

"We had a lovely stay at Kingeswic cottage."
It’s was beautiful cottage and we were very comfortable there. On arrival the cottage was clean and presented beautifully with a sweet little hamper in the kitchen.
Unfortunately dew to the bad weather we didn’t get the chance to use the hot tub but it did look very inviting. The garden was pretty and dog friendly.
If I had to find a fault, with my arm being twisted, it would be that we could get the grill to work properly. Everything else was prefect.
Thank you all for a wonderful holiday xx

A quick 10-minute drive into Weymouth town centre, the addition of the hot tube is brilliant, being out there under the stars listing to the sea was amazing we will be staying here again.
Thank you for such a kind review Martyn, you have really captured the feel of Kingeswic. Not many people realise just how special the hot tub is on a cold winter's night. Looking forward to welcoming you again, Anna

Kingeswic cottage is very comfortable clean and has everything you need. The hot tub was great especially after long walks. We had a super welcome pack waiting for us when we arrived, which was a lovely surprise.
The only downside was the parking. Often we had to park several minutes away from the property but this wasn’t a problem.

"What can I say."
It is a fantastic cottage, very clean, everything and more than you could ever need. Felt like home from home. The hot tub was used everyday, was like having a good massage after a long day site seeing. Parking was ok (up the hill opposite). Loved the well established garden and the seagulls kept us company. My dog settled in well, plenty of places to roam and investigate.
To top it off was the lovely welcome hamper and milk in the fridge, also not forgetting the the hot tub salts. Highly appreciated. I would return regularly and will be recommending Kingswic Cottage to my family and close friends.

"The cottage was lovely."
The welcome hamper was very inviting. The beds were comfortable and the hot tub was much enjoyed. We had a lovely holiday. However, there was a definite doggie smell in the living room, which did diminish as the week progressed with proper ventilation. Prior to hoovering the the living room carpet, to try to get rid of the smell, "the Hetty" needed emptying. The carpet under the rug was covered in what looked like long black doghair. The two living room throw spent the week in a plastic bag as they were malodorous. This failure to clean up after dogs could have had dire consequences for anyone with an allergy to dog fur.
Thank you for your comments Olive . I'm glad you enjoyed your stay but sorry you had some concerns. We will address the points you raise today, Anna

The only thing we found is that the fencing of the garden at the bottom isn’t very secure for dogs."
Also no baby gate to stairs to stop dogs going upstairs which wasn’t a problem for us as ours know not to but I think it would be helpful. Loved it. Thankyou so much

"Firstly thank you for providing all accurate information."
One thing I think that would benefit your future clients is if people realise how close the proximity to the beach really is! It's brilliant, it's just straight up the hill around the corner and down the lane. I couldn't really tell how close even on Google maps and I couldn't understand what East Fleet and West Fleet was until we got to the beach and could understand that Chesil was directly across the stretch of water. Our pup absolutely enjoyed it all as much as we did. We brought his crate with us so he could sleep in it at night as he normally does. The garden was a fabulous bonus, I can't tell you how many properties we looked at that didn't have a stretch of garden or grass. Your cottage ticked everything we needed and the garden was an essential. The bed was super comfy, bathroom was spot on. We didn't intend on staying in for dinners and took some of your recommendations for eating out with the dog being allowed too. Thank you and we would love to return. Kind Regards Marie Rich and Pup Motley

Coffee machine and treats on arrival lovely too :) We walked along the Rodwell trail to Weymouth, my only comment is on Weymouth itself - there is a lot of traffic and busy roads. We enjoyed the more scenic walk the other side to Billy Winters but the children really liked the sandy beach at Weymouth. BTW back door and bathroom tap a bit stiff!
