About this property
Enjoying the coastal location of Brewers Quay Harbour in Dorset is this marvellous, mid-terrace cottage of Little Tern. A fantastic base for a family of four to explore the nature-rich and attraction-packed Dorset coast, Little Tern is equipped with a designated parking space, making it an easy task to get around. Head inside the charming property to be taken in by a delightsome sitting room, where two sofas rest in front of the TV; an ideal spot for post-beach relaxation. The kitchen/diner is a stylish yet practical space, with shaker-style cabinets offering an array of integrated appliances, including a handy washer/dryer and dishwasher. Once the foodie of the group has rustled up a tasty meal, enjoy it at the dining table or out in the garden, where a raised terraced area makes for a fantastic alfresco dining area! As the day winds to a close, head upstairs to find two lovely bedrooms, the first being a double featuring ample storage and tasteful décor, and the second comprising a twin with coastal touches. The bathroom is close by, a stylish room with metro tiling and monochrome fittings, and is where you can sink into the soothing suds of the bath at the end of the day. There are plenty of amenities resting a stone's throw away from the property in the Victorian brewery of Brewers Quay Harbour, including the famed restaurant of The Galley Bistro; additionally, The Rodwell Trail, Nothe Fort and Weymouth harbour are just moments away. Travel a little further into Weymouth, a bustling town offering plenty to do, including its green spaces of Lodmoor Country Park and Radipole Lake, its glorious beaches and range of family-friendly attractions. Why not travel further inland to Dorchester, the county town of Dorset which enjoys access to the Dorset Sunflower Trail and the remains of Maiden Castle, whilst also hosting a handful of marvellous museums, including The Roman Town House. Spend some time in the outdoor havens of the Dorset AONB or West Dorset Heritage Coast, or venture to the Isle of Portland and West Lulworth for more coastal fun and gorgeous sights; there is so much to see here! A memorable stay awaits at Little Tern.
Brewers Quay Harbour is a picturesque, harbourside location that is popular with tourist all-year-round. With a selection of restaurants and bars on offer, you're certainly well-catered to! The George Bar and Grill is a point of interest and is a perfect place to enjoy a cold drink after exploring the shops and attractions that surround the harbour. Nothe Fort and Sandsfoot Castle are just a few of the attractions that await those who come to Brewers Quay Harbour.

Nicely furnished and comfortable. Sykes were also very helpful when we go locked out.

Double bed was nice and comfortable but our other guest thought the single bed could have been better. We had some difficulty with the front door lock. We found it difficult at times to enter the property. We were surprised to find no hair dryer there as we thought this would be standard equipment. But all in all lovely property in a nice position. We enjoyed our stay would recommend & would return.

Unfortunately a few days into our holiday the washing machine broke down but a quick phone call to Dream Cottages office and the matter was dealt with promptly and efficiently so much so that the following morning a new machine was delivered and fitted. Dream Cottages maintenance man Piers Campbell was extremely friendly and efficient and is undoubtedly an asset to the company since in these days of booking everything on the Internet he may well be the only person that holiday makers have any interaction with. If, in the future, I have another holiday in Weymouth I will be happy to book with Dream Cottages.
