Day Cottage

This is a nice basic cottage in a very good position for the beach and centre of Weymouth.

There is a need for better attention to the housekeeping. Some of the surfaces in the house had not been wiped clean properly. Most of the kitchen equipment was well worn some needs replacing, the chopping boards cannot be cleaned effectively they are so well used, the saucepans were dust and any I used needed to be cleaned before use. Both frying pans had very loose handles. The cooker needed cleaning before use. There is a very shallow step in the kitchen which needs highlighting as it is a trip hazard. There was no food waste in the kitchen and stale food and other items in the outside bin, so we did not use it. The real difficulty was the parking. We knew we could not park outside but it was often a long way to look for a space, the street is a cul de sac and very narrow so even turning the car was difficult. As we left on Saturday we had problems loading the car because there were more residents cars in the street. It's fine if you want to walk to the beach and town every day but if you want to travel further afield or need to use the car as we do it a real pain.

great location close to town and beach

Well presented cottage, warm and well equipped, comfortable beds and good quality bedding and towels.

The shower is extremely difficult to turn on and off and the bath overflow is not sealed so had to be careful using it. A doormat by the back door would make it easier to keep clean with dogs. The parking is a big drawback - nearest parking is a good 10 minute walk away. But conveniently placed for the beach and the town and although the area is a bit run down it's an easy walk to get anywhere.

Had a nice stay at Day Cottage.

It is cosy and well presented, comfortable and has clearly been recently refurbished. It was spotlessly clean.Kitchen is fairly well equipped. We managed to find on-street parking about 10 minutes walk away but found it helpful that you could park for an hour outside for loading/unloading. Problems with shower/bath were very quickly sorted when reported. The area is a bit mixed but ok and it’s a short walk to the beach, which was great for our dog to run and play on! Only little bit of feedback to the owners is that leaving one small loo roll in the property for four people staying for a week is a bit stingy! Don’t expect loads but a spare would be nice!!

We stayed at Day Cottage for a girls weekend away.

We drove there and parked on a residential street, about 7 mins walk away - for free. Then for the rest of the weekend we walked everywhere. The beach is a few minutes walk away and the town centre about 10-15 minutes. We felt very cosy in the house, and had all we needed. We had 4 adults and found the beds comfortable and cosy. The lounge is really nice to sit in and have after dinner drinks. And the courtyard is a perfect place to sit on an evening - weather permitting. Weymouth itself is a classic and charming British seaside town, the beach is great and would be great with kids(will be returning with them). Would recommend day cottage and Weymouth and hope to return.

The location of the house is great.

Near to town and in easy walking distance. Nice touches regarding games etc.The TV had numerous channels. This was great on a rainy day. However, may be greater attention is needed to completing tasks in the house. The freezer was over frozen. The pipes were very poorly painted by the fridge. The floors were just about clean. The shower had grim about the edges. The back yard had dead and new weeds. In essence greater attention to detail will elevate the property. We would not recommend the property because we did not think the property commanded the price for what was actually delivered.

The sofas are extremely uncomfortable and one is broken.

General cleaning was ok but I had to clean the bannisters as they very sticky and the top one was black with dirt. Shower is need of a deep clean. I vacuumed sofas on arrival and departure. The whole house is lovely clean painted walls Back courtyard area is lovely and nice to relax with a coffee. The street the house is in was very dirty and not welcoming at all. A parking permit would be a nice addition

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Day Cottage.

The location is perfect, very close to the beach but in a quiet mostly residential street where the locals are very friendly. The posh coffee machine was greatly appreciated! The cottage was very clean and the fixtures and fittings are to a high standard, it had everything you could possibly need. Only small gripe is that the rugs in the hallway and Living Room are badly stained and need cleaning or replacing. A Visitor's Book on the table in the alcove would be a nice addition as you can leave useful details for other guests such as restaurant recommendations etc. Otherwise please don't hesitate in booking this lovely cottage.

We really enjoyed our stay, had everything we needed thank you.

Loved the fact we had the courtyard/garden area and an outside tap for cleaning the

We had a wonderful stay at Day Cottage.

It was clean, comfortable, modern, well equipped and ideally located. If there were to be a bonus you could add, it would be a parking permit. We found the walk to our car each day a little frustrating. Overall, a lovely place!

This was a great property with everything as it said on description.

Double bedroom could do with either a chair or another chest of draws as felt a bit sparse. More possibly storage in the bathroom would be useful maybe a cabinet on the wall. A coffee machine is quite common in self catering places and would be a nice addition. Overall though an excellent property, good location and we would recommend this property to others.

Very comfortable property.

Problems with the shower was rectified the same day.

The cottage was comfortable, well equipped and clean.

Enjoyed our stay very much. Only down side was the neighbour shouting at her kids most mornings, the one behind. Also there was no hair dryer, first time we have stayed in a property and there is no hair dryer.
