The location of the cottage is perfect being 30 seconds from the old harbour. The cottage itself is clean and comfortable. Already booked for next year! Thank you x

Great location , car parking area always a bonus . All rooms were clean , very good size bedrooms , comfy living room ,kitchen and utility area . The small garden area is great when the sun shines . There has obviously been a damp issue in the hall area , and some of the ceilings have old water marks but I know how difficult they are to paint/ deal with . My only issue was the increased noise due to the new bar - most nights you could hear shouting , and drunk individuals up and down Cove St . Beyond 11 pm As we have stayed here before we know itâs this bar and not the Red Lion or the Old Rooms . There was even one person banging on every door with an umbrella late night .

The area is very striking and lively. Having parking beside the cottage is such an advantage. The cottage is well appointed and a small courtyard garden (paved not grassy) was very well used by the family - sitting outside for most meals. All of Weymouth is within walking distance including the two and beach. Much better than our best expectations.
