Mr Kelley
October 2021

“Disappointing not to have sky package anymore and sofa is not very comfortable”

- Mr Kelley, October 2021
Mrs Channell September 2021

“We have been to Poppies in Weymouth many times, and it is still as enjoyable and comfortable as ever.”

Highly recommended.

- Mrs Channell, September 2021
Hillyard August 2021

“Just a problem with the step to the door so high had a job to get out.”

The rug in the lounge was such a slip hazard it moved all the time

- Hillyard, August 2021
Mr & Mrs Edwards August 2021

“Overall the cottage was cleaned to a good standard but unfortunately they failed to do any dusting.”

We arrived at 5pm to find the cleaner had left her car in our space and did not collect it until 5.50pm which was not acceptable and we had to park in the visitors space instead. There needs to be a washer dryer especially when we had young children staying and the weather was not hot enough to effectively dry the clothes on the airer outside. The rug in the lounge needs to be secured as it is a tripping hazard We we’re confused by the arrangement of both bedrooms. Surely the double bedroom should have better storage, our grandchildren ended up with a large wardrobe, chest of drawers and tv which was totally unnecessary. The mattress protectors were badly stained and both mattresses need to be replaced as they both dip in the middle. It would be helpful to have clothes hooks on the back of the bedrooms and bathroom doors.

- Mr & Mrs Edwards, August 2021
Mr Ryan July 2021

“We had a fantastic time at Poppies.”

The place was spotless and the bedrooms were a decent size. It's in a great location, we didn't need to use the car all week. We will definitely be back!

- Mr Ryan, July 2021
Mr Wood July 2021

“Great to finally get back to Weymouth.”

Really good time had by all and Poppies is a very handy and good base to use. Our third visit to Poppies and we would come again.

- Mr Wood, July 2021
Mr Farrow July 2021

“Cleaned to a decent standard except for a random jumper that was left next to the sofa.”

From reading the previous guests reviews it seems this jumper has been hanging around for a while. Perfect location for local restaurants and pub but it can get a bit noisy when the neighbours come staggering back. The fridge had a lot of water inside and the freezer was "sort of out order". The sofa and bed was very comfortable and the TV was a good size. Also free Netflix courtesy of Alison :) Dreams cottages were very helpful when we had to delay our holiday due to Covid.

- Mr Farrow, July 2021
Fillary July 2021

“The house was really nice comfortable and clean, right in the heart of the harbour.”

Really good to have a parking space right outside the house. Could probably benefit from a better sign outside as we struggled initially to find it, as it's not visible and behind some electric gates but all good

- Fillary, July 2021
Mrs Cooke July 2021

“As there was a jumper left behind the chair the living room had not been thoroughly cleaned.”

However this in no way spoilt our holiday. Home from home!! The location was just perfect and parking a bonus.

- Mrs Cooke, July 2021
Mr Dutton June 2021

“Our second visit to Poppies.”

Everything perfect. We will be back.

- Mr Dutton, June 2021
Mrs Ottey May 2021

“It would be good if on the i-players on the smart tv you had a code to put in rather than having to make your own account.”

- Mrs Ottey, May 2021
Mr Joyce October 2020

“TV made need re-tuning as a lot of channels missing, other than that perfect stay.”

- Mr Joyce, October 2020
Miss Clee September 2020

“We had a lovely week in poppies, we have stayed here loads of times, lovely ...”

We had a lovely week in poppies, we have stayed here loads of times, lovely house the only downfall is the shower is a bit small and the water does not come out very quick, also you could do with blackout curtains in the bedrooms, but we would stay there again we stayed here in July and September

- Miss Clee, September 2020
Mrs Clayton August 2020

“Home was excellent and location of property was great.”

- Mrs Clayton, August 2020
Mrs Gurney March 2020

“Poppies is a lovely holiday home and we found it very conveniently situated close to Weymouth's amenities but quietly located.”

We had two issues regarding the heating which were immediately rectified by the Dream cottages staff whose office was round the corner from us. We've been using Sykes for a number of years and have always had milk provided (even cakes and scones at some places) and spare toilet rolls and refuse sacks were left too, however these were NOT provided in this property.

- Mrs Gurney, March 2020
Miss Clee December 2019

“We have stayed at poppies before very nice,clean and good quiet location ...”

We have stayed at poppies before very nice,clean and good quiet location accommodation is well equipped, sky tv is useful, but the shower is a bit small and not very powerful, but are staying he again in June and July and September, so very good thank you

- Miss Clee, December 2019
Mrs Parsons September 2019

“Pilot light was "off" and extremely difficult to re-light.”

Drying clothes an issue in wet weather, a washer/dryer would be a great help. Unnecessary use of plastic bags in All the waste bins in the house. Location superb and the house was "fitted out" to a high standard.

- Mrs Parsons, September 2019
Mr Pullan August 2019

“It was ideally located, close to the town, and the beach, both of which we were able to walk to.”

Very clean accommodation, everything that we needed, including a downstairs toilet. We all enjoy Weymouth, and would go back to Poppies.

- Mr Pullan, August 2019
Mrs Cowley July 2019

“The second time staying at beautiful Poppies cottage.”

Fabulous location, perfect home from home. Extremely near to all the pubs and restaurants around the beautiful harbour and the parking on site is a massive plus. We've been holidaying with Dream Cottages for at least 15 years and all of the cottages we've stayed in are to a high spec. We're looking forward to our return visit next year.

- Mrs Cowley, July 2019
Mr Haldenby June 2019

“The front steps are a little bit high for anyone with mobility issues.”

- Mr Haldenby, June 2019
Mrs Channell May 2019

“Dream cottages always gives us a dream holiday.”

Every property we have booked has always been spotless and comfortable.

- Mrs Channell, May 2019
Mrs Jacomb April 2019

“We continually come back to Poppies as it has everything we need for a perfect holiday cottage also it is so convenient for walking to town and the seafront and many other lovely walks - perfect for ‘us pensioners’ !”

( Particular thanks to Sally and Phil for the lovely Easter Egg which they left for us - it was so kind of them and we really enjoyed sharing it - thank you again )

- Mrs Jacomb, April 2019
Mr Chapple April 2019

“Location was perfect.”

- Mr Chapple, April 2019
Mr Kelley April 2019

“Nothing to say .”

The number of times we have stayed at poppies speaks for its self,it’s just perfect

- Mr Kelley, April 2019
Mrs Pat Bennett Sep 2018

“A lovely property in an excellent location - central for everything.”

The property itself was extremely clean and tidy and very well equipped. We will certainly be returning to Poppies. Stayed July 2018

- Mrs Pat Bennett, Sep 2018
Mr Clive Ingleby Sep 2018

“This is our third year with Dream Cottages and have never found any problems and never found the ned to complain about anything.”

Your service is impeccable and the whole booking experience is faultless. Poppies, as was Melanies 3 years ago and Dolphin last year was spotlessly clean, the facilities and equipment available is amazing never having to request anything special to meet our needs. The location is amazing, the weather was outstanding, I do realise the Dream Cottages cannot do anything about that but this is the third year of good weather. The accommodation is ideal for getting about Weymouth and Dorset, it's roomy and quiet. Love it, if we return to Weymouth again we will definitely choose Dream Cottages to find our accommodation. 10 out of 10 for everything. Stayed July 2018

- Mr Clive Ingleby, Sep 2018
Mr Brian Rogers Mar 2018

“Very nice stay, ideal location for harbour side of the town.”

Stayed March 2018

- Mr Brian Rogers, Mar 2018

Mrs Davis Jun 2017

“Yet another lovely cottage, (our 10th booking with you,) Poppies was spotless, very comfortable beds and everything one needs.”

In a super location close to heart of harbour and restaurants etc. Lovely to leave the car behind gates while you enjoy the town. Will be back again. Thank you - stayed May 2017

- Mrs Davis, Jun 2017
Mr & Mrs Lynn Waterrman Apr 2017

“Excellent cottage, comfy beds and the kitchen well equipped for any meal that needs to be prepared.”

This is a home from home cottage well situated for any tourist attractions or just leaving the car behind for walks nearby. Very clean and warm .Useful to have books DVDs info leaflets and the "Weymouth " jigsaw fits just right on the coffee table for a winter stay! Walking distance of local supermarket etc. We have used dream cottages for over 10 years and found the service excellent and a high standard of holiday homes. See you in June! Stayed March 2017

- Mr & Mrs Lynn Waterrman, Apr 2017
Mr Damian Kennedy Nov 2016

“The booking process was very easy, the staff at dream cottages were very friendly and helpful, and Poppies was an extremely nice place to stay.”

I have travelled to Weymouth a lot for work and this is the first time I've used a holiday let rather than a hotel. I should have done this much sooner as the overall experience was better than a hotel. Stayed November 2016

- Mr Damian Kennedy, Nov 2016
Mrs Lorraine Davis Oct 2016

“Great Accommodation Excellent Location Definitely recommend - stayed October 2016”

- Mrs Lorraine Davis, Oct 2016

The property

Poppies is a charming two bedroom mews style property in Kellaway Court, Weymouth.

The stylish interior of this holiday cottage cleverly combines characterful features with contemporary touches that all bring the property up to date, whilst losing none of its original charm. The sitting room with its grey and red contemporary décor is a perfect place to sit and relax as a family, playing games and having fun.

The bright kitchen with bar table and chairs allows you to sit and chat whilst preparing a bite to eat.

Upstairs you will find two light and airy bedrooms, a double and a twin.

This property is just moments from the harbourside, where you can sit and enjoy a drink in one of the many pubs or restaurants.

Or maybe sit on the harbour wall and enjoy a spot of crabbing with the family.

The property is situated in Kellaway Court; an attractive, gated development in an area which, for hundreds of years, was used for brewing beer.

Whilst beer is no longer brewed in the location, many of the historic buildings remain and add to the character of the Quay area.

Centrally located Poppies, like its sister cottage Melanie’s is sure to be one of our most popular holiday cottages in Weymouth.

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: Allocated parking in electronically gated area.
