“Another stay in Poppies where you just feel so at home.”

Always really clean and welcoming. Great attention to detail, and the welcome pack is very….. welcome!

Sonia September 2026

“Poppies is situated on the South Harbour area, safe and quiet area, even with the construction works at Brewers Quay.”

House is clean , comfortable , well equipped , comfy beds , has everything you need . Upstairs can be warm especially on sunny days. Outside there is a nice seating area , we have stayed here a few times and always found it be comfortable and no issues at all .

- Sonia, September 2026
Alan August 2026

“Great place to stay only two minor problems one the drainer is to small for the plates and cutlery needs a larger one.”

Beds are comfortable but creak on the metal frames. Everything else is brilliant and comfortable. Would recommend it to anyone with parking outside the door.

- Alan, August 2026
Rebecca August 2026

“Overall, it was a good experience and a great location.”

The property had all the required facilities. The parking was an added bonus, as you can walk to the harbour or town within a short time. The only downside was the Quay Brewery construction works across the road, which started before 8am every morning. There was no mention of this when we booked.

- Rebecca, August 2026

This is a long term redevelopment, largely complete, during your stay some external work commenced without the local community being advised.Noise has not been an issue since commencement. Dream cottages with hindsight could warn of the possibility upon booking.We live opposite #2 and have not been disturbed. We apologise for the lack of advice concerning the works, now scheduled for completion in 2027 Kind regards Phil Morgan, owner. Property Owner
Annette August 2026

“Have stayed at poppies about 7 times now and it never lets us down, always very clean and so comfortable, in fact we are already booked up for next year.”

- Annette, August 2026
Sandra June 2026

“We have happily holidays at poppies for many years,sometimes three times a year,and it has always suited our families needs.”

We had hoped to continue coming for many years to come. Each year we book our main holiday for June or July so we were shocked to see that the price for 2027 has increased by almost 50% compared with 2026 we initially thought this must have been a mistake as there appears to be no justification for such a significant increase in fact some facilities have been reduced over the years such as sky tv which was previously provided. We checked with dreams cottages and found the pricing to be correct. It is with great sadness that we have decided our long association with poppies has regrettably come to an end.We have made many wonderful memories over the years and are genuinely disappointed that the price increase has made it impossible for us to continue holidaying with you Sandra & Robert Pratchett

- Sandra, June 2026

We apologise for the slow reply, we were away until the 22nd. We have not initiated any price increases of the size pointed out by you. We did complain last year that our income had not risen for 5 years, yet occupancy was steady, our expenses had risen substantially. We will ask Dream to meet with us to discuss the pricing anomalies that have arisen between similar properties as well as 2027/2026. I suggest you check prices late 2026 as Sykes may have reduced them as a result of demand and our meeting. You are a valued customer of long standing and we hope to see you again. Yours sincerely Phil Morgan. Property Owner
Stewart May 2026

“Poppies was one of the best holiday homes we have booked.”

It had everything you would want. The only thing preventing a five star revue was the shower wasn't ideal for larger built people. But would certainly come again

- Stewart, May 2026
George May 2026

“Unfortunately we had to endure a member of dream cottages staff using the back door that is very close to the back door of poppies and it would slam behind her and her dog every morning, so had to call in to the office to mention door slamming etc the girl in reception apologised saying it was a fire door , left it at that and that was on Wednesday and all was okay until the following Wednesday when we came back to poppies for a little while in the afternoon this door started slamming two or three times and eventually this young woman came out from the fire door with a big grin on her face and slammed the door whilst having a big grin on her face.”

It's a shame really because we have been going to poppies for many years and enjoyed it, but this ruined it for us and so we won't be back.

- George, May 2026

We have a long standing agreement with DC senior management not to use this door except in emergency. We shall take this up with them in the strongest terms.I apologise for their unacceptable behaviour. Phil Morgan Property Owner
Janet May 2026

“We loved our stay at Poppies, such a lovely property and in a super location.”

The inside of the property was very bright and airy and spotlessly clean. We would happily make a return visit. The secure parking was a real bonus.

- Janet, May 2026
Barry April 2026

“Another lovely holiday in Poppies, it really is a home from home.”

Loved the addition this year, of grab rails outside the front door. And the massive new tv was a surprise!

- Barry, April 2026
Nigel February 2026

“Another great holiday at Poppies.”

Great base for Weymouth and surrounding area.

- Nigel, February 2026
Dawn January 2026

“Poppies is a lovely property.”

Very clean and comfortable and a great location. A couple of very minor observations. The front door needs attention as it was sticking and a bit tricky to open. Not a good property for anyone with mobility issues as the steps to the property are very deep. A rail would help. The pull cord in the bathroom needs lowering a little as I couldn’t reach it. The welcome pack was great together with the pint of fresh milk.

- Dawn, January 2026

Thank you for the feedback, we intend to install a hand rail for this season, The recent wet weather swells the door, it will dry out, we will ask DC to lengthen the pull chord. Best wishes Phil Morgan Property Owner
Pam October 2025

“It is a lovely property in an ideal location and beautifully presented we had problems with the heating at first it turned out to be the temperature controller and worked fine after we put some new batteries in it.”

We found the steps to the front door very awkward and will certainly make it easier when the handrail is installed other than that we had a lovely holiday again Bob & Pam

- Pam, October 2025
Debbie September 2025

“We love the property we have stayed many times, very comfortable only a couple ...”

We love the property we have stayed many times, very comfortable only a couple of things, the shower is a little small and the chairs in living room are a bit uncomfortable but overall very good location and will probably stay again

- Debbie, September 2025
Neil August 2025

“Poppies was lovely cleaning, tidy and well appointed.”

The only criticism is that the shower was not very powerful which was disappointing as I look forward to a reviving shower each morning. The water in the bathroom sink was slow to drain but suspect it just needs a bit of unblocking.

- Neil, August 2025

Thank you for your feedback, we will gat the shower and drain checked out. The shower is meant to be pump boosted but is not a 'power shower' we will look to upgrade when next replaced. Property Owner
Annette August 2025

“We have stayed at Poppies 4/5 times now and it never lets us down the cleanliness is always spotless and the furniture is so comfortable along with the beds.”

Sandra June 2025

“We had a wonderful 3week stay at poppies, yet again everything was perfect loved the change around of bedrooms, weather was glorious cannot wait to come back, I agree with your other visitor step is a bit awkward when you have dodgy knees .”

But we loved it there anywhere Sandra & bob

- Sandra, June 2025
Paul May 2025

“Another lovely holiday in an excellent house.”

The changes made have made Poppies even better. The only improvements that we can think of are to possibly add another step outside the front door as it is a bit of a problem for those with a mobility walker getting in & out Or a handle by the door is another option

- Paul, May 2025

Thank you for your positive feedback, regarding impaired mobility access, we will seek permission to install a handrail when the season is over. Phil Morgan Property Owner
Gillian May 2025

“Poppies is a real home from home.”

Beautifully decorated and furnished. Everything is provided to make your stay comfortable.

- Gillian, May 2025

Thank you for your kind remarks and we hope that you return yet again. Phil Morgan Property Owner
John April 2025

“Along with my wife we have holidayed with Dream Cottages in nearly all the properties in Kellaway Court, its a lovely quite place near to the Quayside, with free parking, personally I think one of the best arears in Weymouth.”

Poppies is an exceptionally well appointed, accommodation, where you want for nothing, the condition of the property & facilities are excellent (second to none) I honestly can not fault the place or think of any improvements, it's a real pleasure to holiday there. Subject to booking conditions hopefully in the not to distant future if I can book another holiday I'LL BE BACK.

- John, April 2025
Jean April 2025

“Wonderful quite unique property to stay in, ideal location, private off-road parking a godsend, will definitely be booking again.”

- Jean, April 2025
Ian March 2025

“We are regular visitors to Weymouth, but first time in this cottage.”

Very pleased with the property and facilities and hopefully will be back again soon.

- Ian, March 2025
Nigel February 2025

“We always love staying at Poppies.”

Change round of bedrooms works better too. No doubt we will book again. So handy for the harbour and Weymouth town centre and with easy parking. No need to worry about being able to park when you travel out for the day.

- Nigel, February 2025

Thank you for your feedback on the refreshed bedroom layouts which include a new king size bed. We look forward to welcoming you again. Property Owner
Dennis October 2024

“Hi. Found boiler not working about 8oclock.”

Followed your fault procedures and had to wait till Monday before engineer called after I went to the dream cottage office. After freezing for 2 nights it was not good to hear the call out man could have been with us in 5 minutes if you could be bothered to contact him Don’t think I will use you again. Have been to poppies many times and always supperb

- Dennis, October 2024

Mr Kelly, we were sorry to hear of the problem encountered and took the matter up with Dream Cottages, They tell us that you did not contact the emergency line which would have had the matter resolved quickly as we invest in 24hr boiler and heating emergency cover for this very eventuality. We hope that you will give Poppies and Dream Cottages another chance, Yours truly Phil Morgan Property Owner
Tracy September 2024

“Lovely stay in poppies cottage .”

Very comfortable, clean.very safe behind gated area. Stayed many times in cottages rented off Dream cottages.

- Tracy, September 2024
Gillian August 2024

“Thankyou for a wonderful short stay in your beautiful property.”

The cottage is spotlessly clean, with all the facilities that you would need. It’s a shame we were t there for longer to make use of everything on hand. The location can not be beaten & having private, gated parking is a bonus. We will be back x

- Gillian, August 2024
Paul August 2024

“Property was as described.”

Very thoughtful welcome bottle of milk in the fridge upon arrival along with a Dorset welcome pack (which is always appreciated thank you). We enjoyed our stay in Weymouth as usual and previously we have stayed at Melanies (next door) and another Sykes property on Greenhill. The one thing we didn't like about the property was the double bed in the main bedroom (we're 5'11 and 5'7 and of average weight). My wife and I did not have comfortable sleeps and towards the end of the stay (due to it's size and the soft mattress) I swapped beds with my 10 year old daughter as the kids had two single beds in their room. So long story short I think the main bedroom bed should be upgraded to a kingsize, with a better mattress, if at all possible. Other than that we enjoyed our stay and the property has everything you could need and is a great base for Weymouth & Portland exploring.

- Paul, August 2024

Thank you for your feedback, we plan to upgrade the double bed this winter for season 2025 Property Owner

Richard June 2024

“Nice cottage with all you need,close too harbour/ town, with secure parking”

- Richard, June 2024
Pamela June 2024

“We had no hot water for most of the week, the beds were uncomfortable and stained!”

Not the best so will not be returning. Stayed in far better which were cheaper. We sadly made a mistake with this one.

- Pamela, June 2024

Apologies for the delayed response to your feedback, we have been awaiting an explananation from Dream Cottages. We invest in a 24hr emergency boiler and central heating support contract which DC should have enabled immediately you had a problem. I have spoken to the emergency company who tell me that they changed a faulty valve. You should not have been without hot water as there is a back up of an immersion heater. The beds were not stained but the protective mattress covers were slightly grubby and we have now changed them. The beds are scheduled to be replaced and upgraded this coming winter ready for 2025. Thank you for your feedback. Mr Morgan Property Owner
Melvin April 2024

Lovely house to stay in, great location, very clean and comfortable and with ease of parking made this a good holiday looking to come back in near future To help with your bookings I would recommend you add downstairs cloakroom to your house description as this was an added bonus for us

- Melvin, April 2024
Gillian April 2024

“We loved the new lounge furniture, very smart and comfortable.”

And we loved the new tv once we worked out which remote controls to use! As ever it was a home from home .

- Gillian, April 2024
Linda April 2024

“What a beautiful place very clean everything you need was catered for can't wait to go again.”

We went to wrong entrance and property senior moment! But they we so helpful thank you. Linda

Nigel February 2024

“Only minor issue was using the TV.”

Originally it would not select TV from the source list it kept looking for the TV box/hub. Getting the TV on was hit and miss. Then noticed Digital TV was switched off in the source list, added it in and used that for basic tv. Much better from there in. Casting to the TV from Apple or Android was the best way to view other stuff. Also WiFi code needs updating in the folder. We still had the correct one from last time we stayed. We had another fantastic time at Poppies and Weymouth as we have had before. Poppies is the ideal place for us an excellent place to stay. Sure we will be back in the future.

- Nigel, February 2024

We have holiday in the brewers quay for a lot of year's and can't fault a thing always have had a relaxing time shame to see some of the pubs and cafes have closed down but in all a fantastic break will be back next year

Linda August 2023

“This was our second stay at Poppies, it was nice to see the new lounge furniture and the chairs with the footstalls we’re particularly comfortable.”

The overall cleanliness of the property was good and it was lovely to have a welcome hamper and milk on arrival. There was an issue with the microwave and the fridge but these was sorted straight away. Overall a very comfortable stay and amazing weather.

- Linda, August 2023
Michael August 2023

“The property was amazing , the location was superb too.”

The hamper that was left for us on arrival was great and a really nice touch. The property was spotless and very modern , we could not fault it. It was a lovely property to come back to and relax after a day on the beach or exploring Weymouth. We cant wait to return. We absolutely love Weymouth and this property is the best we have stayed in for sure.

- Michael, August 2023
Kevin July 2023

“The property was exactly what we expected.”

The lady who came midway through to change the bed linen was very nice and friendly. She even took time to tell us about local attractions. We have booked with Sykes cottages many times and hope to continue.

- Kevin, July 2023
Kate June 2023

“Popped is a wonderful place to stay.”

It's very well placed, and having car parking is great. The decor is lovely and the whole house is light and airy. The only problem we found was that we had to clean the shower drain of a lot of accumulated hair which was preventing drainage -before we could have a first shower. Not a pleasant task. However this would not prevent us from recommending Poppies as a wonderful place to stay and we will definitely be returning.

- Kate, June 2023

Robert Clive March 2023

“This is an excellent property in a very convenient position withy private parking in a gated community.”

It was very clean and very nicely furnished. The only observation was no towel in the downstairs loo so we used one out of the spare unused bedroom. The Dorset Happy Hamper and pint of milk was much appreciated. We highly recommend this property. 5Star. Thank you.

- Robert Clive, March 2023
Graham November 2022

“The only thing we could find fault with , was the quilt could have been thicker on the main bed.”

Need a thicker one for the winter. Fantastic house ! we have stayed before and shall return!

- Graham, November 2022

Dear Graham Thank you for your comment, there are winter quilts in the wardrobe drawers, we will amend the visitor notes to this effect. Best regards Phil Morgan Property Owner
Matthew October 2022

“This was definitely one of the best holiday properties we have stayed in.”

The house is kept to a high standard, extremely well equipped and excellently situated. A particular thanks for the buckets and spades which we found under the stairs! Like others we were frustrated by the unavailability of recycling facilities but we appreciate this is beyond your control and will be contacting Dorset Council separately about this.

- Matthew, October 2022
Dawn October 2022

“We were very pleased with the property overall.”

Just a couple of points - the shower needs a good clean around the base. We were disappointed not to be able to recycle waste, although we understood the instructions that the let was treated as a commercial property. In these days could not a case be made for environmentally friendly domestic waste disposal on holiday lets?

- Dawn, October 2022
John August 2022

“We booked the cottage very lastmin, all was fab.”

The cottage is in a great position tucked away but near the harbour. Just one small thing, could do with a better mattress on the double bed.

- John, August 2022
Gillian May 2022

“Poppies is our home from home!”

We’ve been coming for years and it’s very comfortable. Love it.

- Gillian, May 2022
Dennis March 2022

“Perfect as always”

- Dennis, March 2022
Claire February 2022

“Lovely cottage in a super location near the harbour.”

Very comfortable. Well equipped kitchen. Only negatives were that the heating was off when we arrived at 5pm so the house was freezing cold, and no tea bags or milk so we couldn’t even warm up with a cup of tea! Not a very warm welcome.

- Claire, February 2022
Dennis October 2021

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

- Dennis, October 2021
Gillian September 2021

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

Highly recommended.

- Gillian, September 2021
Teresa 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

- Teresa, August 2021
Linda 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.

- Linda, August 2021
Gary 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!

- Gary, July 2021
Nigel 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.

- Nigel, July 2021
Stephen 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.

- Stephen, July 2021
Ben 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

- Ben, July 2021
Margaret 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.

- Margaret, July 2021
John June 2021

“Our second visit to Poppies.”

Everything perfect. We will be back.

Debbie 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

- Debbie, September 2020
Michelle August 2020

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

- Michelle, August 2020
Carolyn 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.

- Carolyn, March 2020
Debbie 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

- Debbie, December 2019
Malena 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.

- Malena, September 2019
Darryl 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.

- Darryl, August 2019
Graham 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.

- Graham, July 2019

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 & 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

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.

Note: Fayre In The Square (usually late May Bank Holiday weekend each year) and Wessex Folk Festival (usually first weekend of Jun each year. These fantastic free festivals see the harbour and Hope Square closed to traffic. With live music, entertainment and stalls throughout the weekend. This may cause some inconvenience due to some road closures and parking restrictions. Should you require any further assistance or clarification on this please do not hesitate to contact us.

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.
