  Our stay at the dairy cottage was perfect, the cottage itself was absolutely beautiful.

  Every room was very clean and very well maintained. We were worried about the WiFi having read previous reviews, but we had no issues at all - 4 of us were all connected and the WiFi was still very quick. There was work going on at the new cottage next door, but it was no interruption at all. They were very quiet each day and we didn’t even realise they were there! We were provided with tea, coffee, biscuits on arrival, as well as given essentials of washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, new bin liners, etc. which made it super easy to tidy up after ourselves before checking out. Accessing the cottage wasn’t ideal in a small, low car. The tracks to and from are slightly rocky and bumpy so can be a difficult drive for quite a low car. We found that the easiest and least bumpy way to access the cottage would be to head towards Abbotsbury - as you leave the cottage, turn right and head up the steep hill - the track is just over a mile before hitting the main roads! Luckily, we saw a review on here to explain about locating the cottage by spotting a green sign. Perhaps a bigger sign with the name of the cottage on the track would help other people find their way easily. Our only feedback would be the security of the garden for four-legged friends! We took our small cockapoo with us on our holiday. The garden itself is absolutely gorgeous and one of the reasons why we chose the cottage was that it mentioned it was enclosed and secured for dogs. We would agree that if you have a medium/large sized dog, this would be the case. However, the two garden gates and the 3 fence panels to the right side of the property are high enough for a little dog to escape under, which our dog did. Luckily we saw him creep under and were able to catch him, however we then had to secure these little gaps ourselves. Other than that, our stay was absolutely fantastic and we had a lovely time. We would definitely stay at the dairy cottage again. Thank you.

  We last stayed at Wey Cottage a couple of seasons ago and liked its location and space very much.

  We found it in need of some attention this year. A member of the maintenance team came as we moved in on the Saturday to begin our holiday and said that the previous occupants had left a substantial burn/melt mark on the twin bedroom carpet and that he would be back midweek to place a rug over it. This didn't happen and we covered it with a towel for the duration of the holiday. A couple of the touch operated lamps were faulty and flickered when used. Scatter cushions in two of the bedrooms need a good wash as do the scatter cushions in the living room area. A couple of these are quite worn. Although there is a dishwasher we chose not to use it as there is insufficient crockery and cutlery to make it viable ( only 5 forks in cutlery drawer but larger quantity of other items). There is a large damp patch on the the kitchen dining area wall adjoining Mackerel Cottage next door. We alerted Dream Cottages and maintenance visited. They told us it was an 'historical issue' and that they would investigate next door. Having said all of this, we did have a wonderful holiday in Weymouth but wouldn't book Wey Cottage again unless there is a degree of refurb.

  Excellent holiday home.

  Lovely rural location which was very peaceful (don’t be put off by the ‘working farm’ description!), although worth saying it’s quite a long fairly bumpy track to get to the house. Very easy key collection from key box. Every room was very tastefully decorated, with all the facilities you could want and very clear instructions for all of them. We have a toddler so were very pleased to have a highchair, cot and stairgate all provided, and it was very helpful that there is a door at the bottom of the stairs that you can close too. Very nice garden and outdoor seating area, although it was a bit too cold to enjoy that fully. Comfy beds and pillows, good shower, and lovely to have local biscuits, coffee and milk on arrival. (Tea bags and instant coffee also provided.) Only suggestions would be to make one of the bathroom doors less stiff as it was very difficult to close, and the directions could be slightly improved, I.e specifying the road name for one of the final turnings approaching from Dorchester (Litton Road) and the fact that the last turning is signed for Ashley Chase Estate Office.

  The house was great for our week long stay.

  Good sized bedroom, comfortable bed, enough drawers and hanging space. Good sized shower cubicle and shower worked well. Stairs aren't as bad as the advert makes them sound. Decent sized living room, tv, dvd player, wifi all worked well. Two seater settee, good dining table and two chairs. Kitchen is quite small but perfectly usable. Gas cooker, fridge freezer, microwave, kettle, toaster, pots and pans. The house is well decorated and presented, and was very clean and we'll maintained. Nice and bright sitting out area to back of house with table and chairs. Parking outside was not an issue, if a space was not available outside the house there was always a space further down the street or just around the corner, not more than 30 seconds away. Lots of shops and supermarkets nearby, very handy. We thoroughly enjoyed the house, it felt nicely homely. You can clearly tell that the owner has put in a lot of effort to make the house feel nicely enjoyable. And thank you for the packet of biscuits and brewing bits and pieces, after a five hour drive that was appreciated. Definitely recommend.

  We had a one week holiday in Weymouth, having not visited the area before and it exceeded our expectations, with it being better than Cornwall and Devon in our opinion.

  We spent half the time in Weymouth itself and three days on day trips to other good attractions in the area. The accommodation itself was perfect and equally important is in a perfect location from where the key parts are readily walkable. It is literally only five minutes walk from the south side of the harbour which is the best part of the town with its pubs and eateries. Cross over the bridge and the northern side of the harbour is then joined onto both the shopping area of the town and also the long esplanade, sandy beach and beautiful scenery out to sea. Also on the doorstep of the property is the enchanting Northe park. The only possible item of criticism I could find is that it does not state that the allocated parking space is on a steep slope which some people may not be comfortable with. Other than that, it is a great little property in an ideal location.
