Spindrift is a well-regarded holiday rental in Weymouth, praised for its cleanliness, superb location, and spaciousness. Guests appreciate the secure parking and quiet setting, with easy access to local amenities.

The property is generally well-equipped, though some maintenance issues and an ant problem were mentioned.

The property is consistently described as clean and tidy, with multiple guests affirming its cleanliness. Only a minor issue with ants was reported, but it seems to be addressed.

The location is highly praised for being fantastic, quiet, secure, and within easy walking distance to local attractions, making it an ideal spot for guests.

Comfort receives mixed reviews. While some guests found the beds comfortable and the property spacious, others were dissatisfied with the living area seating and the hardness of single bed mattresses.

Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen and plenty of space. However, some guests experienced issues with TV connectivity, unstable dining chairs, and a lack of mirrors, which suggests room for improvement in maintenance.

There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the host, so it is not possible to assess this category.

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 had a problem with hot water and heating but this was quickly sorted by some nice friendly staff.would have liked a hanging rail in 2nd double bedroom .right in heart of the town parking was a big plus.

  • Brenda

    The kitchen was well stocked with equipment , we could not ask for more. This is situated in a nice quiet area not far from the harbour and its facilities and easy to walk over the bridge into town or beach. Great to have the parking space so near . We would thoroughly recommend this property and would love to come again (sadly already booked for the same week next year) Regards Brenda Ward

    Would have liked a radio in the living area to listen to music and a pizza cutter. Another parking space would have been great. That apart a great place to stay would recommend it as a very nice place to stay plenty of restaurants and pubs in a short walk.
