  Blythe cottage Location of the house is great for those without a car - walking distance to train station, local beaches, shops, cafes and lots of places to eat out.

  The house is in a quiet area just next to a quiet pebble beach where local swimmers gather. Weymouth beach is busy but nice - they have a fun fair on the beach, nice sand and swimming too. You're able to hire chairs and windbreaks etc quite cheaply. Felt restful and peaceful but also local things to do if you're interested. House is really lovely - nicely decorated with well equipped kitchen for cooking. Recycling is only possible taking it to local centre so probably not viable unless you have car. Bathroom is downstairs. Stairs are all quite narrow and steep so something to bear in mind if you have mobility issues. Would be suitable for couple, group or family but note that one of the bedrooms leads to another if privacy would be an issue. No streaming accounts pre-given on TV but can sign into your own streaming accounts. Nice garden, but with the sea so close by that's definitely the main draw! Couple notes: toilet seat doesn't currently fit so that needs some attention from the owners/management company. Also, couldn't see that there were any summer (low tog) duvets provided (although may have missed them) - didn't affect us as weather wasn't that warm, but in hotter weather other options would be helpful. There is underfloor heating on the ground floor which we had to turn on as it got a bit chilly, but bear in mind if takes about 3-4 hours to heat up and even then it's only in certain areas. There is a gas fire which we couldn't figure out but to be fair we're not super familiar with them. All in all we had a lovely stay!

  A lovely family home with plenty of space. Equipped with everything you would require on a family break. We took food but if you require a supermarket, the nearest one is Seaton about a 10 minute drive away. There is a lovely pub called The Masons Arms but you need to book well in advance if you require a table inside. Outside tables are issued on a first come basis,and there is outdoor heaters if you think you may get cold. We did eat outside and the food and service was good. Would recommend. The only downside to staying at Hamilton House is the parking. You have to park outside the property in quite a small road and the House next door is rented out, so if 2 cars need to park, it would be very tight. Luckily for us the house was not occupied. The house is just a 10 minute walk to the pebble beach which has a café and tables to sit at. There are also lovely walks to take from here along the coastal path. From Branscombe you can easily drive to Lyme Regis, Sidmouth and Seaton. If you go to Seaton there is the lovely tram ride to take, which if the weather is good, is worth to do. We had mixed weather, but still managed to enjoy our stay.

  This is a lovely cottage close to the centre of Weymouth.

  It looks like it’s been recently painted/refurbed, with lots of quirky little touches. Beds are comfortable and kitchen it well equipped, although more tall glasses needed . Nice size dining table. It was nice and clean. Nice views of sea just outside front door. Quiet location. The parking situation is a bit of a pain, parking is 5 minutes walk from cottage to carpark and the pavement situation in between is not the best, so bringing bags plus children back and fourth was not ideal. Be warned the stairs are very steep and the landing area very tight. So you have to be quite mobile and the set up did make me nervous with 4 year old. However my 8 year old, loved the loft space. The only toilet/shower is downstairs. Shower is fine but the toilet seat was awful. It was broken and incorrect fit for toilet, so kept throwing you off/sliding about. The sofa is uncomfortable and could do with some investment. Easy to get into town and close to Nothe Fort, nice watching the swimmers from the small bay at bottom of stairs.

  We had the pleasure at staying at Blanche Cottage for three nights in September.

  Arriving by train from London, it was an easy walk through town to get to the cottage. We found the location was perfect for topping up on groceries from the small grocery store a five minute walk away or catching one of the tour boats a six minute walk away or watching the fishermen or the ocean swimmers, a 30 second walk away. The cottage had been beautifully restored with a state-of -the-art kitchen and appliances and lovely furnishing throughout. We had read about the steep stairs to the bedrooms but we are spry 77 year olds and had no problem, however if you have bad knees, or toddler-age children, this cottage might not be ideal for you. The only bathroom is on the main floor and the bedrooms are all upstairs. The beds were very comfortable with high quality bedding and décor in both bedrooms. We didn’t need or use the top floor bedroom. The welcome tray of teas and coffees and cookies were most appreciated. In summary, a lovely place to stay on our Weymouth holiday.
