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.

  We had a great holiday at Bramshurst, a very modern and warm property in lovely grounds.

  Also the location is excellent for touring the area, and the village itself very pretty and convenient for both Dorchester and Weymouth. We were at first a little taken aback by the 'minimalist' nature of the accommodation, e.g. we are used to finding local books and magazines, DVDs and more info on local attractions in a cottage (families might also expect some toys or board games). That wasn't important to us, but we would have appreciated a broom, mop etc and a few cleaning supplies, and especially more crockery as the provision of just four mugs, plates etc means a lot of washing up or running the dishwasher! Finally we felt that the property handbook needed to be more detailed - for example an explanation of the Velux windows which opened automatically (and loudly!) without warning.

  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.

  This was a nice modern house it was an mezzanine style house with curtains to cover the balcony.

  The house had lots of amenities, including a washer/dryer, dishwasher, small washing line and BBQ! We also had a mini welcome pack which was really helpful (a few dishwasher tablets, cloths, bin bags, washing up liquid, hand soap and a pint of milk in the fridge, plus even doggie biscuits and dog bags.) It was a nice touch and much appreciated! I would say if you were planning on eating in most nights there is no cupboard space to put the food, we used the worktops but ate out nearly every night so it wasn't a problem. The double bed in the upstairs bedroom was quite small (width wise), however there was also a fan which kept us cool. Overall a very enjoyable week, great location not to far from anything, peaceful too, plus off road parking.
