Dog Friendly Cottages in Weymouth

What our customers say about their holidays

  I have used Dream Cottages for holidays since 2013, a number of times in the Brewers Quay area of Weymouth.

  Once again they amazed me with the quality and cleanliness of the accommodation. The property, located in a gated Muse, is well appointed and has everything you need for a great self-catering holiday, or just to use it as a base whilst exploring the area. Covered parking opposite the property is an added bonus too. Pubs and restaurants are 5 minutes away in Hope Square and even more a minute or two further, to the harbour, or 10 -15 minutes to Weymouth town centre and the beautiful beach, (a smallish section by the Pavilion and amusements is dog friendly all year round). The property's master bedroom on its third level, has a very comfortable king-size double bed. There is plenty of storage space in the bedrooms and the master has the added bonus of an on-suite bathroom, albeit getting into the corner shower could be a bit of a tight squeeze for some! That said there is a further bathroom opposite bedroom 2 with a bath with hand shower over, and a cloakroom toilet downstairs. The kitchen as with the lounge and rest of the property is excellent. One slightly negative point is that in the description of the property, whilst it mentions a small patio to the front, it fails to mention there is no garden. As a dog owner, this could be a problem if you don't want to let your dog roam around the courtyard area. However 5 minutes and less than half a mile away along Newton's Road, overlooking Newton's Cove and Portland, is a lovely, safe, cliff-top open space to exercise your four legged companion. Alternatively, a lovely stroll can be had through Nothe Gardens, again a few minutes away. Whilst during my stay there was construction work taking place opposite Shire Horse Mews and also nearby, long term renovation work to the listed buildings of the old Devenish Brewery, neither caused an issue during my stay. Would I stay at this property again? Definitely yes, and use Dream Cottages for my next booking? Most definitely.

  This was our third visit to the cottage after a 11 year break.

  The cottage had been redecorated and kitchen revamped since our last stay and it looked much better. The welcome box was lovely to find and a pint of milk which was great. The cottage is ideal for exploring the harbour, nothe fort and Newtons cove all within 5 mins or so walking.Our stay was comfortable but we did find the walls between the cottage not great soundproofing! A few negatives, pillows are in real need of being replaced on the main king size bed, totally worn out and pillow protectors on the twin beds were stained. A bread board is needed in the kitchen. Our big negative point is lack of recycling. We resulted in taking cans, plastic and glass to the recycling bins on the sea front. Local Asda had no banks for cans, glass or plastic. We've stayed in many cottages and recycling has always been part of the cottage's instructions. Apart from that we love Weymouth and would stay again at Footsteps.

  Footprint is a lovely holiday let in the private Shirehorse mews block.

  We have stayed in the adjoining property several times over the years-this was our first stay in Footprint. We were very kindly moved by the owner having booked in Goliath which was unavailable due to building work on a nearby house. Footprint was generally scrupulously clean and really well maintained. We have a few points we wanted to raise to improve the experience -the pillows were desperately poor and some of the pillow protectors were stained-surely these should have been replaced-and the main mattress was very worn, lumpy and really uncomfortable . It is a shame that the mattress and pillows let down what is a superb property-we find this is a general issue with holiday lets that the mattresses and pillows are not being renewed when they are clearly worn out.

  We absolutely loved our stay at Norden Cottage.

  This is a characterful cottage set in a scenic and tranquil location but within easy reach of amenities and a great base to tour round this spectacular area of Dorset. The cottage is very well equipped and the sun trap garden was a great space to relax in after a day out touring. It’s also very doggy friendly with walks across beautiful countryside right opposite the cottage and doggy treats included in a generous welcome pack including milk, tea, coffee and biscuits. Osmington is a lovely village to stay in and this was a fabulous cottage situated on a picture postcard country lane surrounded by hills and near to the coastline. We’ve had an amazing holiday here and we hope to return again soon.

  A lovely house, it has all the facilities you need like a home from home with some nice personal touches.

  The garden and furniture were perfect for an evening drink and breakfast. It’s a 20 min walk to the main beach, Asda was a 5min drive,but with a great Londis shop around the corner for the extra bits was a bonus. Off road parking is tight for 2 mid sized cars, but some spaces at times on the front, the only thing to look out for is the gravel off road parking area is used as the local cat tray ! not much you can do about it, but worth a quick scan of the area before venturing out especially with children. On the whole a fabulous comfortable reasonably priced place to stay and would highly recommend it for families and couples.
