What our customers say about their holidays

  The location of Nuke in the quiet mews, coupled with the sheltered parking across from the house, is very secure and absolutely perfect.

  We have stayed in these cottages several times, but this was our first visit to Nuke. There were issues (in no particular order): The fridge/freezer is unserviceable and should be replaced because it is switched down to 'low' by the cleaners and takes a couple of days to return to proper freezing temperature. Milk was going off within 24 hours, the freezer was solid with ice but ice-cream would melt in 12 hours. The dishwasher is a tad temperamental; sometimes it works and sometimes it decides to go on holiday for 8 hours. The sitting room television is similiarly temperamental; it has a very limited number of terrestrial channels and will not always change channels, it just freezes. The heating programmer is new but there are no instructions to go with it; somebody from Dreams had to come out 3 times to get it working properly. The extractor fan in the downstairs toilet it not working. The second bathroom, with the round bath, is unusable by an adult, although it might be fine for a 5-year old. It is too shallow for a grown up. There were dirty utensils in the kitchen which had not been properly sorted and cleaned; we found a saucepan with an inch of oil/grease in the bottom of it, used for frying something, some time ago. Cleaners should have dealt with it. Downstairs corner-shaped sofa is extremely uncomfortable, it is too big/deep for normal sized adults and the cushion arrangement is wierd. There was only one clock in the whole house, over the door between the kitchen and sitting room. Fortunately, and aware that we had to be out of the cottage by 10am, we had brough a couple along, together with our mobile phones. On the plus side, the pillows were excellent (not always the case in these cottages and I bring my own as a precaution). We do this holiday break twice a year but it was sad to see Weymouth looking so uncared-for and the season had clearly already ended for a number of premises along the harbour.

  Nuke is a beautiful house , all of the rooms are decorated to a high standard and the furnishings are good .

  We spent an enjoyable 2 weeks there . The en suite and seperate bathroom were very useful . However the place was let down by some niggling attention to detail. Firstly the kitchen has a microwave and dishwasher but all of the crockery had labels on saying they were not microwave or dishwasher safe ! Secondly the internet connection is very poor and mostly unusable so having a smart TV in the main bedroom to watch netflix/on demand is pointless . I contacted Dream Cottages to enquire/complain about the internet access , they contacted the owner who said that it was standard broadband. If I was paying for broadband where the speed varied between 0.5 mbps and 9 mbps ( mostly 0.2 mbps to 1.00 mbps ) then I would be asking questions of the provider. I couldn't see a router in the property so maybe the broadband service is a shared connection and is only usable if nobody else in the adjoining properties is using the service. Thirdly as we were resident for 2 weeks we found a note in the kitchen advising that a linen change and property refresh would be carried out on the Saturday of the 2nd week . We were asked to leave the key in the key-box. We did this and upon returning found that the linen change and refresh had not happened . I went round to the Dream Cottages office , it transpired that as the property was a Friday to Friday let that the refresh should have been done on the Friday but as we hadn't left the key it couldn't be done . We were given a choice of having the towels/linen replacements dropped off within the hour if we wanted to change the bedding ourselves or wait until the Monday to have the linen change and full refresh . We opted for the do it yourself option. A small issue was the velux windows in three of the rooms , the blinds were very difficult to close/open and there was no advice in the welcome book on how to use them .These niggles did have an effect on our overall enjoyment of the stay .

  Although we had a lovely holiday in Weymouth we would not stay at Brewers House again.

  Parts of the property could do with being updated and the beds were very soft (personal preference I know). There were issues with both sets of neighbours and we constantly felt like we were being watched. We had some music playing in the garden (not loud) and because it was a windy day one neighbour asked us to turn it down as it was carrying in the wind. He also told us he was having some work carried out on his property and that there would be noise (of which there was) but luckily we were out during the day so we avoided this. The other neighbour questioned the light which was left on in the garden, of which was on when we arrived. He asked us to turn it off, he stated it was quite a simple task, and if we needed assistance we could give him the keys and he would pop in whilst we were out during the day to do it for us! In fact you could not turn the power to the light off without turning the power to the garage door off, and as we were using the garage it was on the majority of the time We did turn the power off in the evening to turn the light off but it was supposed to be a sensor light of which the sensor wasn't working otherwise it wouldn't have been on all the time.

  The property is ideally suited on the ground floor as my husband can not do stairs.

  And next to the harbour to sit and watch the world go by. However, the apartment should be listed accommodates 3 as there certainly isn’t enough room in either bedroom for 4 people. The angle of the wardrobe in the double room is so close to the bed you cannot walk past it without bumping into it. Ventilation is poor as the window is set deep into the ledge so you have to bend your upper body to reach the handle. We slept in the twin room, not bad apart from the mould spots on the nets. There were cobwebs hanging from the ceiling in the kitchen/living area. The kitchen is totally devoid of basic utensils and not very clean either. The shower cubicle is so small you cannot turn round once you are in there, even children would have difficulty using it. Totally inadequate and not fit for purpose. We were so disappointed as we have always booked our holidays through Dream Cottages and their properties, apart from this one, have always been first class

  Amazing apartment with views that were totally captivating. Its perfect location meant we were able to enjoy walks along the front and get back for a warm cuppa and still continue to enjoy the view of the sea. The beds were comfortable with plenty of storage in the bedroom. Bathroom was beautifully finished although the shower cubical was a little snug, but there is a beautiful bath with hand held shower head. Kitchen was lovely and main living space was made extra special with the view- sofas were a little low but perfectly comfortable for enjoying the view with a cuppa. Draw back slightly is the stair case up to the property as steps are steep but the view makes it worth every step! The parking in front of the garage is really useful but our top tip would be to reverse on to it. We had a wonderful week, and would highly recommend, especially if you’re someone who enjoys a dip in the sea! We hope to be back.
