The location is highly praised for being close to the harbour, restaurants, and the beach, with the added convenience of a parking space. Some guests noted it can be a bit noisy with neighbours returning late.
Guests frequently mentioned the comfort of the beds and sofas, and the property being a peaceful retreat. A few comments about the shower size and water pressure suggest minor room for improvement.

About this property
Poppies is a mews style two bedroom property in Kellaway Court, Weymouth.
This holiday cottage cleverly combines characterful features and stylish considered interior with contemporary touches that bring the property up to date, while losing none of its original charm.
The contemporary décor of red and grey colours, in the sitting room is a perfect place to sit back and relax as a family, playing games or chill after a busy day. The modern kitchen with bar table and chairs allows you to sit and chat whilst preparing a snack to eat. Heading upstairs you will find two airy and light bedrooms.
This property is just a stroll from the harbourside, where you can sit and enjoy a drink in one of the many restaurants or pubs. Or maybe sit on the harbour wall with fish and chips and enjoy a spot crabbing with the family.
The property is situated in Kellaway Court; a, gated development on an area which, for many years, was used for brewing beer. Whilst beer is no longer brewed, this this location many of the historic buildings remain and add to the character of the Quay.
The ever popular resort of Weymouth makes an outstanding year-round holiday destination, with a wide variety of attractions on offer, appealing to all tastes and ages. The glorious golden sandy beach with its shallow waters provide excellent facilities for all kinds of watersports, whilst from the picturesque, bustling harbour you can take regular fishing trips. A short drive takes you to Portland Harbour, and the rugged “Isle” of Portland, linked to Weymouth by the dramatic Chesil Beach. Visit Dorchester, Thomas Hardy’s “Casterbridge”, only 7 miles away, or take a journey along the scenic coastal road and call in at Abbotsbury Swannery and Subtropical Gardens. Alternatively, just head down to West Bay - the views of the stunning Dorset Heritage Coastline are not to be missed!

Change round of bedrooms works better too. No doubt we will book again. So handy for the harbour and Weymouth town centre and with easy parking. No need to worry about being able to park when you travel out for the day.
