Brewers Quay is the old Victorian brewery situated at the heart of the harbour, in Weymouth, Dorset. Much of the grade II listed complex and surrounding brewery buildings date from the late 1800 early 1900’s and many have stones inlaid commemorating their construction year. This area is now a popular destination with many restaurants, café and bars, creating a vibrant culture, where you can relax with a drink and watch the world go by. Tucked away down the harbourside streets, you will find original Tudor harbour buildings, estimated to have been built in 1600 and well worth a visit, with a very interesting history to share. You will also find the Weymouth Museum, with some incredible exhibitions, and the harbour is also home to the lifting bridge, where you can watch the luxury yachts head out to sea, and then walk over the bridge to the town's winding streets of boutique shops and the seafront esplanade and beach. There is more to this seaside town than meets the eye; Brewers Quay is a much-loved holiday destination in Weymouth!

We enjoyed the views over the harbour from the front bedroom. The bow sash window is a wonderful feature. We found everything about the decoration and furnishing of this quirky, cosy, stylish home delightful. It has been a great pleasure to stay here. The kitchen is spacious with a large gas hob, ovens and grill. There is plenty of room in the fridge and freezer. We enjoyed using some of the wide range of kitchen utensils, table ware and glassware. It was great to have a bathroom with a roll-top bath, walk in shower, large basin and stylish furnishings. We sat out for lunch one day in the garden at the back of the cottage and enjoyed the garden, garden furniture and statues in the borders. One of the benefits of staying in Weymouth is the easy access on the bus or train to explore other places in and around Dorset. We visited Bridport and West Bay, Lyme Regis and Portland on the bus and Dorchester on the train for its Wednesday Market Day. We walked to Portland Bill making use of the Rodwell Trail and swam in the sea at Church Ope Cove. A perfect holiday.

The mattress is a lumpy and tries to push you out of the bed with your partner in it and every time you move the big creeks it just needs a little bit of work and it would be a lovely stay Lovely views from the bedroom over the harbour

Right in the buzzing town of Weymouth, we just walked down to the shops and fantastic beach everyday. We were very near food shops too. Found it very easy to leave the car and get the bus ( service excellent) to visit places. The cottage had everything we needed and the view form the main bedroom was just amazing! Thankyou
