“The old cottage was expensive for the week but we know it’s down to the high demand due to the COVID situation.”

It was comfortable & suited our needs.

It was comfortable & suited our needs.

“After many happy stays in Dream Cottage properties, our stay in Old Brewers Cottage was really disappointing.”

We have come to expect and rely on the high standards that we have enjoyed on our recent holidays with our dog. The whole property was dirty and downstairs in particular, very smelly. The stairs and landing carpet is worn and smelly and the stench from the front room carpet, settees and cushions was disgusting. We tried putting our own blankets over the settees, so that we could sit there but even with this, we could not use the room due to the stench. Even after spraying air freshener, we were unable to use that room for the duration of our stay. The location of the property was great and clearly there has been effort made at some point to make it comfortable. What a shame that for a little more investment (new carpets, thorough cleaning of the kitchen and updating the shower, mold on walls etc) it would be a great place. The blinds in the front room were broken and bent as well as the back bedroom blind. The kitchen was dirty, washing up bowl appeared to be years old and worn. When taking a plate out of the cupboard, it was dirty and this generally reflected the whole kitchen. Food on and down the side of the cooker. Downstairs toilet seat dirty. On reading the reviews that other customers have left in the Guest book in the house, the carpet in the front room, in particular, has been mentioned several times, but nothing has been done - a real shame. Unfortunately, this has made us consider if the standard we have come to expect from Dream Cottages has been reduced as it was not reflected in the price we paid to stay in this property. It's a shame to have to write a negative review but it would be positive to see ours and other peoples comments (in the Guest book) being listened to and or the price actually reflecting the level of comfort available in this cottage. If Dream cottages are putting their name to this property, then surely there has to be a process whereby these issues are dealt with.

“Cottage is in an excellent location but in desperate need of some modernisation and general up keep….”

. not worth the money we paid for a week, stayed in 5 star accommodation in north Devon for much less.

- Mrs Simner, August 2021
Mr Dalby August 2021

“Fantastic location but quite basic but practical but for the money we paid I think people will expect a higher specification.”

Some small improvements like new blinds (they were broken in the main bedroom and lounge), a clean carpet in the lounge, a stain free quilt in the main bedroom. The mirror in the main bedroom on the dressing table isn’t balanced so doesn’t work as a mirror. As I say just little things that we think should have been sorted before the peak season began. We did not use the washing machine and In the guest book people had complained about that. We love the area but would not return to that particular cottage as for £1600 for a week it is overpriced. We would use Sykes again for this area in the Hope that this was just a one off that had been overlooked.

Ms Gomm July 2021

“We greatly enjoyed our stay!”

A lovely location which was easy to drive out for day trips - and to also enjoy the harbour and beach.

Langford July 2021

“Cottage is in an excellent location, minutes walk from brewers quay”

- Langford, July 2021
Mr Corns June 2021

“Relaxing week spent in the ideal location”

- Mr Corns, June 2021
Mr Brownsill June 2021

“A fantastic location & a great stay , however, sadly lacking in comfort, a previous review in the guest book back in 2019 suggested a new sofa was needed, it still absolutely is, the lounge reminded me of my daughter’s student house, very basic , carpet fraying in places and new sofa badly needed.”

The garden furniture was rusty and a chair was broken and the file in the cottage asks guests to wash the grills if bbq is used, the bbq looks like it’s held together by rust and was lying on its side on the patio. Although the cottage was really clean, there were a number of hairs on the quilts white duvet cover , so that promptly went in the washer and out onto the washing line. I do have photos to back this up . I understand that covid staycations has pushed prices up but at almost £1200 for a week at the beginning of June was excessive for the actual house

- Mr Brownsill, June 2021

Thank you for your valuable feedback and glad you enjoyed your stay. The owner is having new sofa’s arriving on the 26th June and will be providing new garden furniture for guests to use. The BBQ will also be removed, and carpets will be replaced at the end of the season. We look forward to welcoming you back to Dorset again soon. Property Owner
Mr Simon April 2021

“Having stayed at the cottage in October for approximately £75 per night we thought we would return for a three night stay in April, by which time the price had risen to c.”

£200 per night and £275 per night if we wanted to extend the stay by two more nights (to fill a bookings gap). Our choice of course to pay the £200 per night but disappointed to find no basics like salt, pepper, or anything like that that you really dont want to be having to do a shop for on your first day of your holiday. Also no wood for the fire (although when we phoned, the management company delivered some promptly). For that sort of rental we would expect a basic welcome pack, and certainly non-perishable things like salt and pepper. So while the cottage itself was lovely and well-situated, we felt it was let down by the lack of care as above which for that price should be standard. Dave and Sally Simon

- Mr Simon, April 2021

Thankyou for your feedback. I am sorry there was no wood on your arrival, I am pleased we were able to provide it so promptly. Unfortunately due to the ongoing COVID situation we are unable to leave any welcome pack or non-perishable food in the property. We look forward to welcoming back to Weymouth soon. Property Owner

The property

Old Brewers Cottage is a Victorian terraced cottage situated close to the Old Harbour in Weymouth. The beautiful Nothe Gardens and Newton’s Cove, a little beach area and promenade with stunning views, is virtually on the door step. The property is cosy, comfortable and perfect for couples or a small family looking for a holiday home close to the town centre yet still away from all hustle and bustle of the town. The property accepts two well-behaved dogs, so your furry friends can join you on holiday too.

Make sure to use the best of the property and use the BBQ stored in the shed in the patio area.

Unwind with a cold drink and enjoy a lazy afternoon in the sunshine or snuggle up in the sitting room with a book near the wood burning stove and drift off to sleep. Weymouth is full of activities for you to choose from.

Walk around Brewers Quay, with its alfresco restaurants, cafes and friendly pubs, perfect for lunches and dinners.

Pay a visit to Weymouth’s museum, Tudor House and little quirky shops with souvenirs to take home. Just beyond is the picturesque harbour with its colourful boats, traditional harbourside cottages, and more places to eat.

You can take a fishing boat trip on the quayside or a sightseeing tour along the Jurassic coast towards Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door or the Isle of Portland. You may choose not to use your car when staying at Old Brewers Cottage, but if you should choose to go further afield you'll find a whole host of attractions, activities and places to explore - from Abbotsbury Swannery to skiing at Warmwell, and the beautiful Kimmeridge bay and Chapman’s Pool are just along the coast.

About the location

BREWERS QUAY HARBOUR

Dorchester 8.7 miles; West Lulworth 15.8 miles

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!

Note: max 3 people. Note: small step down to the kitchen.
