“We have just returned from a very relaxing week at Cockleshell Lodge in Weymouth.”

...

The Cockleshell Lodge is set in a quite location just off the sea front, but close enough to walk there in five minutes. We arrived in Weymouth by National Express who drop you off by the King Head Statue, which is the other end of the seafront, but it only took less then 30 minutes to walk to Cockleshell Lodge. The train station is even closer about 10 minutes away. When we arrived and opened the front door, we thought there had been a mix up. Cockleshell Lodge is like no other, it’s like walking into someone’s home, you expect to find someone sitting watching the television. I mean this in a very positive way. It is spotless throughout and has a vey friendly/home feel about it. As I say every room has been cleaned to a very high standard. There was a great welcome basket waiting for us, with bread (very tasty) eggs etc. There is a great information booklet regarding the property and everything local, including telephone numbers. There really is nothing negative to say about Cockleshell Lodge. We would easily return there and highly recommend it.
Mr Kinzel May 2019

“The location was spot on, with a parking space and just a few minutes stroll to the Esplanade, nice and quiet but near to walk into Weymouth centre and near to roads leading to other places.”

The welcome hamper was the best we have ever received, bread, eggs, butter, milk and shortbread biscuits.
Mr Smith May 2019

“We had a really great time in Cockle shell lodge in Weymouth, everything we needed was all there for us.”

including a really nice hamper the owner Sharon had thought of everything, the lodge was nice and clean and it was really cosy and it was right near to the beach love Weymouth . Jan and Clive xx

“Excellent service from Dream Cottages throughout.”

Lovely accommodation, a real home from home. Lots of personal touches including a welcome basket of goodies, books, dvds and lots more. Highly recommend!!
Ms Harris April 2019

“Loved the closeness to all Weymouth’s facilities.”

Cottage was clean and comfortable and pleasant to stay in. Highly recommend this little gem!
Mrs Tubbs April 2019

“The bungalow was cold, I followed instructions to turn on heating system but it didn't work.”

I was tempted to return home on Wednesday but persevered till Thursday. The bottom of the shower door was gruby, the toilet roll holder was broken, there was a chip in the toilet seat and was stained, there was hair in the sink plug hole. The cooker hob needed a clean as did the washing machine controls and the kitchen draining board. The welcome pack was a lovely idea, shame mayo, tom sauce and coffee sachets were all out of date. As for Weymouth itself lovely place to visit.

Many thanks for your feedback, we have fed your comments back to the owner in order to maintain our property standards. Your views are as valued as your initial booking so that we can keep providing the best UK holiday experience. Owner relations
Mr Hampson March 2019

“The welcome pack was very much appreciated, it was clean, our concerns for the owners would be the cracks in the courtyard wall as the tree from next door may be an issue.”

It had one two seater sofa which wasn’t that comfortable to sit on, would recommend two, two seater sofas and not two single chairs. However these are very minor observations as the overall cottage was , cosy, warm, well decorated, very homely and superbly positioned for the local beaches, bars , restaurants etc. Overall an excellent holiday was had and will be using this accommodation again in the near future. We have already recommended this to our friends.
Mr Glover March 2019

“Cottage exceeded our expectations in all ways including size.”
Mr Chris Phelon

“We have had a fantastic holiday.”

Brilliant location and Cockleshell Lodge was perfect for our needs, so nice to come home to after a day out. Home from home with added sunshine. We would love to come again. Stayed August 2017.
Mrs Amy Potter

“Really simple easy booking, all information needed provided.”

Loved the house, easy to find following the directions, perfect location: quiet road but only 2 minute walk to centre of beach/resort. Plus off road parking right outside the front door. Bigger than expected, really good condition and thoughtfully kitted out (really appreciated the tea and milk on arrival). Would definitely stay here again. Stayed June 2017

Mr Ian Slym

“The cottage was in a perfect location for us, a few minutes walk to the sea front and town which meant we could leave the car parked and walk.”

Although not much to look at from the outside, when you went into the cottage it was quite roomy and very well maintained. We felt very comfortable in the cottage and did not have any problems all week. Stayed July 2018.
