“Fisherbridge cottage is a superbly comfortable and equipped "home" for a holiday around Weymouth.”

The Kitchen/ diner is Really well set out with Quality utensils throughout. Parking was not an issue (and we had 2 SUV's) we just put one in the large garage. 3 good pubs within walking distance. There was nothing not to like with this and we may even return in the future. Thank you so much to the owners.

Joyce May 2026

“Wonderful holiday cottage, beautifully furnished, immaculate, everything provided you need, generous welcome pack.”

The settees are not as comfortable as they look unfortunately, and the key box is awkward to open and close, but we can’t fault anything else. Really enjoyed our stay, thank you.

- Joyce, May 2026

Hi Joyce - thank you so much for taking the time to write us a review, we really appreciate it. So glad you had a nice time; we hope you will consider returning again. Thank you for your helpful comments about the keybox - we will look to get a new one installed that’s a bit easier to open. Best wishes, Shona and Ian Property Owner
Alison December 2025

“A lovely comfortable property in which we felt very at home.”

The kitchen had everything you could need, the Christmas decorations were a nice touch and everything else was as listed. The cottage is well situated close to local pubs and buses into Wemouth. We enjoyed being able to walk to the coastal paths and to come home to a cosy fire.

- Alison, December 2025

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you revisit sometime in the future. Thank you also for leaving the house so tidy. Much appreciated. Property Owner
Jean October 2025

“We loved our stay at Fisherbridge Cottage.”

The house is wonderful, beautifully furnished and extremely comfortable. Everything was as described, if anything even better than the photos. The owners bought a travel cot as they knew we needed one and they were very helpful in all their communications. We would definitely recommend to others.

- Jean, October 2025
Phil September 2025

“A beautifully situated cottage, everything you need for a lovely holiday, facilities and welcome pack excellent.”

Local pubs and shops, 15 minutes to Weymouth beach by car or via Holiday camp walking. Would highly recommend this cottage for all ages, though if I do too much, may never get to book it again. Plenty of information on the cottage, as well as surrounding attractions left to peruse. Thank you to the owners for a fantastic week away.

- Phil, September 2025

Thank you so much for such wonderful feedback. It means a lot to us that you enjoyed your stay and that you have taken the time to leave a review. Hope to see you again sometime. Cheers Shona & Ian Property Owner

Karen May 2025

“Everything was fine but could do with renewing the mattresses they were very soft and use to a firmer mattress also parking for two cars is very tight and not alot of outside space when neighbours van is parked right on edge of your cottage spaces.”

Enjoyed our stay their and have stayed their twice now.

- Karen, May 2025
Daniel September 2024

“Couldn't find any oven gloves”

- Barry, September 2024
Julie August 2024

“Had a lovely stay with family, very comfortable and well equipped accommodation.”

The only suggestion I would make is a 'mind your head' sign at the bottom of the stairs not just visible to people descending. I also think the steepness and shallowness of the treads should be mentioned in the main cottage details.

- Julie, August 2024

Thank you so much for your feedback. We are so glad you had an enjoyable stay. And appreciate your note re the stairs and sign. We will add another sign visible when ascending. Hope to see you again in the future. Property Owner
Denise August 2024

“Overall our stay was very comfortable, the property was very well equipped with everything you could possibly need.”

The welcome pack was a nice touch and very useful. Be aware of the stairs as they are quite steep, no problem for younger people but as grandparents we had to to take extra care on them. Likewise the driveway being on a slope could also be tricky for us. That said no major problem. Our party arrived in two cars one of which we parked in the garage, where it stayed as we used the buses, as the stops were very close. As the weather was good the grandchildren also made good use of the garden. Thank you.

- Denise, August 2024
Paul July 2024

“The property was lovely & clean, kitchen & dinning area was the best part of the house.”

It would have been nice to have more pint/big glasses as we didn't have enough for our size party. The ensuite bathroom was very small & when you were drying yourself you had to open the door to give yourself more room. The master bedroom door didn't shut properly either. The directions to the property weren't great and it was difficult to find. The drive was very steep & when you take 3 cars you have to park one on the steep drive to the right of the property. The road is also a busy road & unfortunately we had to reverse out on to the main road & we had to watch the person reversing out on the main road which isn't ideal. It would have been nice to have had a larger t.v in the lounge as the 32" provided was difficult to see from certain seats; it needed to be bigger for a party of 7. Finally, you might want to consider replacing the kettle as we had to redo several drinks because of scale/residue in the cups.

- Paul, July 2024

Thank you for your comments which we take seriously. I'm sorry you didn't find the house large enough to suit your party but hope you enjoyed your stay nonetheless. We will make a note in the listing about the steep drive since this has been mentioned a few times. We are looking at buying a new larger TV for the house, and have now purchased a new kettle and large beer glasses for the property. If you have called us on the numbers provided during your stay, we would have been happy to provide those for your visit and also send someone to sort the master bedroom door which we weren't aware didn't close. Thank you again for bringing these points to our attention. Property Owner
Stephen July 2024

“Lovely cottage and a perfect location.”

The very steep drive to the main road was a shock but we managed. A spare set of keys would have been handy as sometimes we had to hide them in garden. But overall satisfactory

- Stephen, July 2024
Janet June 2024

“Beautiful property, very clean and well presented, we love it.”

The only comment I would add is possibly a stairgate or similar device could be fitted at the top of the stairs as they are quite steep if you have a young family. Otherwise perfect.

- Janet, June 2024

Thank you so much for your feedback. So glad you had a lovely stay. We will take on board your comments re a stairgate and get one fitted. Hope to see you again sometime at Fisherbridge Cottage! Property Owner
Hugh June 2024

“A wonderful place to stay!”

The property is well-equipped, comfortable and very clean, with a pleasant garden as well. Location is convenient for the bus into Weymouth and walking distance to a couple of decent pubs.

- Hugh, June 2024
Robert May 2024

“The property is absolutely lovely.”

It’s obvious that the owner has spent time and money making this property immaculate. There are 4 lovely bedrooms. The downstairs is spacious with a large living space and a huge kitchen dining area. There are doors from the kitchen dining out onto the patio and garden. I particularly valued the amenities and facilities which the property provided - dishwasher, washing machine, garage, downstairs WC, 6 chair dining table, outdoor garden seating area with table and chairs, parking, 3 x WCs 1 of which is en suite, hoover to name a few. I would happily return to the property again, this is the 5th time we have stayed on a Sykes cottage in Dorset and this was the best. Rob

- Robert, May 2024

Thank you so much for your lovely comments. We would love you to stay again. Thank you also for leaving the property so clean. Much appreciated. Property Owner
Claire May 2024

“A brilliant week at fisherbridge cottage.”

Very central to visit many places within an hour. Went to lyme regis, weymouth, Bournemouth, sandbanks and lulworth cove. Cottage is well equipped and perfect for a family of 6. Parking on the slope a bit tricky so used the garage and the space opposite. Garden was great for a barbecue. Used the log burner on our wet day.

- Claire, May 2024
Francesca March 2024

“A delightful property with gorgeous interior design detail.”

Absolutely gorgeous cottage, spotlessly clean and a lovely welcome pack when we arrived, we used the lovely log burner fire, such a lovely place and the neighbour was sweet too, would definitely recommend and book in the future

Annie March 2024

“A lovely cottage in a very convenient place for buses etc.”

All the linen and towels were high quality and was great to be provided with plenty of loo rolls, kitchen roll, wood for the burner etc A very well equipped kitchen so we didn’t eat out, preferring to enjoy the lovely light kitchen and cosy living room with the wood burner.

- Annie, March 2024

Thank you so much for your lovely positive comments Annie. We are really pleased that you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again in the future. Property Owner

Lisa December 2023

“The cottage was very clean, tidy, well presented and plenty of kitchen items to use.”

Beds were very comfy too. We has a great stay, 7 of us in total with 3 small children. The stairs were very steep so would recommend a stair gate, but we blocked this with our suitcases to ensure the kids did not fall down if they got up at night. Parking is steep and limited but no issue really especially with the garage. We all had a great stay, location perfect too for ease to get to places. Thank you. Lovely pre Xmas break and the cottage had lovely Xmas decorations too which was a nice touch....and we had our own elf on the shelf that visited us so the kids were over the moon with 'snowflake'

- Lisa, December 2023
Claire October 2023

“The property suited our requirements perfectly.”

We were on holiday with family to celebrate my husband’s 60th birthday. The lounge felt cosy, especially with the log burner in use, but also offered plenty of space for everyone. The kitchen diner was lovely. Often whoever was cooking was joined by everyone else sat round the table chatting and enjoying the bright space. The bedrooms were comfortable and all had plenty of storage. The garage, accessed from the utility, was brilliant as it allowed us to get our 5 month old granddaughter in and out of her car seat in the dry! Having one car in the garage also created more space for our other car to park in front of the property. We had a wonderful week and thoroughly enjoyed staying at Fisherbridge cottage. It’s one of the best places my husband and I have stayed in and we’ve been renting Sykes properties for several years. The location was great for visiting Weymouth and Dorchester. A special mention for the garden centre at Poundbury which looks amazing with all their Christmas displays. Definitely worth a visit.

- Claire, October 2023

Thank you so much for your lovely review. It means a lot to us. We are so glad you had an enjoyable stay and hope to see you again sometime. Thank you also for leaving the property so clean after your stay - always much appreciated. Property Owner
Peter October 2023

“Beautiful property.”

It would be nice to have the following. Paper towels, some dish towels, and basic provisions. We only had 3 small rolls of toilet paper. No extras on site.

- Peter, October 2023
Kathryn October 2023

“This property was everything we expected it to be and more.”

It is comfortable and spacious and beautifully presented .The guest information book was very useful, right down to operating instructions for all the kitchen appliances, log burner and heating. Many thanks to the property owner for the welcome pack, and we hope to return sometime in the future. We definitely recommend this property as not only is it lovely, its location is ideal for being not too far from places of interest and the beach.

- Kathryn, October 2023

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We are delighted you enjoyed your time at the cottage and would love to see you back again some time :) Property Owner

“Beautiful cottage, everything we could have wanted was available and more Would return again”

- Andrew, August 2023
Steve August 2023

“We stayed for a week and the cottage was fantastic.”

We had 7 adults and 1 child. Plenty of room for everyone and a very high spec of finish. This is the best cottage I have stayed in. If I return in a large group to the area this will be the first place I look to see if it is available.

- Steve, August 2023
Sarah July 2023

“A lovely property, very clean, kitchen equipped to a very high standard with plenty of everything needed.”

Some nice touches on arrival, such as slippers and bathroom products. The welcome pack of items left on the kitchen table was lovely, as was the pink Prosecco in the fridge! The location was great for us, as was the very handy Spa shop over the road. We enjoyed our stay very much and would definitely return to Fisherbridge Cottage if we were in the area again in the future.

- Sarah, July 2023
Jade June 2023

“Enjoyed the stay at the cottage very much.”

Very clean and new facilities. The front door didn't open that well and might need looking at otherwise very pleased with the cottage.

- Karen, May 2023
Mary May 2023

“Great property well maintained with a high standard of cleanliness.”

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to stay again. As we were two families staying an extra set of house keys would have been useful but not essential.

- Mary, May 2023

Thank you so much for your positive review. It means a lot to us. Thank you also for leaving the property so clean and tidy after your stay. Much appreciated. Hope to see you again. Property Owner
Malcolm February 2023

“The property is beautifully presented and within easy access to all that Weymouth and the surrounding area has to offer.”

We did find that although the property lists a microwave there didn’t appear to be one unfortunately. Also the stairs to the bedrooms are steeper than some people may be used to, also the designated parking zone, although visitors could make use of the garage to park their car.

- Malcolm, February 2023

Hello. Thanks so much for your feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed the cottage and the area. I wish you had called the number provided so that we could have told you how to use the microwave. It's a bit confusing as the smaller of the two ovens is a combination oven and microwave. The instruction manual is in the guest folder, but if you've never used a combination oven/microwave before I can understand it would look like there wasn't a microwave there. I take your points about the parking. The space at the side of the garden is steep but there is also a space opposite the cottage. However, it's not clearly labelled as parking for Fisherbridge Cottage so we will correct that! Best wishes, Property Owner

“Excellent. Beautifully presented & well equipped accommodation with high grade appliances.”

Most important it is possible to be comfortable in bed at night. Lots of little touches which make a difference e.g. quality cookware & crockery, all items matching. Various small electrical appliances & little items like measuring cups.
