“We were very pleased with the cottage itself, but disappointed with surrounding area as it was on the edge of a housing estate.”

However, the location for shops, beach and getting around was ideal.

However, the location for shops, beach and getting around was ideal. The loo seat and stair gate weren't fixed properly and I wasn't able to get through to customer services when I tried to call on the first evening to mention it. Apart from those issues, the cottage was perfect for our needs and we would visit again.
Mrs Thouless September 2019

“Query over a spare key that was resolved efficiently by the team.”

Lovely cottage
Mr Lawson July 2019

“The distance to the beach is greater than 10 minutes, especially if you want the dog friendly areas.”

Fridge is very small for 4 people. The beds in the twin room were very uncomfortable. However Cottage was well equipped, an outside dining table and chairs plus BBQ would have been nice for the price.
Mrs Taylor June 2019

“On arrival we found the key system easy for us to enter, once we got in we were not expecting to find the rubbish left from the last holiday makers and were disappointed at first sight.”

once we were in the house we found it very well equpped. the house was very well decorated and furnished lovely and was very impressed. i found the bathroom was the best features of house though its a shame there is no photo of this in the discription. i would like to point out that it was very warm in the house and uncomfortable at times. the heating came on if you had the back door open and the thermostat was set to high, there was a operating guild to it but i didnt find it my place to change. The house is situated overall in great place with all amenities within good walking distance. close by is lidl,sainsburys, morrisons and a tesco express. also lovely little chinese takeaway and indian takeaway. even though we had a car we did notice that the bus service in and around weymouth were very good. all in all it was a great holiday and would definitly stay here again.Lastly i would like to point out the Dreams cottages were very helpful and came out on the day to remove the last holiday maker rubbish

“The property was in the middle of a council housing estate and on a road which was obviously a cut through.”

(Saw two accidents right out side the street door). We would NEVER had booked this had we known the location. Also very expensive for what it was.
Mr Edwards April 2019

“Had a great time at the cottage.”

It was clean and comfortable for 4 of us, but a bit further out of Weymouth than expected. Spent the first day hunting for the dishwasher as the cleaners had left dishwasher tablets, but alas one was not found!
Ms Jill Allen

“The Coachman's House was a first class holiday cottage, everything about it was excellent, we couldn't find fault on any aspect, it was clean, spacious and had an abundance of utensils and appliances even down to a bag of ice cubes in the freezer for an end of the day G&T!”

! All round an absolutely outstanding holiday. Stayed May 2018
Miss Alison Watts

The property

This delightful cottage is a real hidden gem for a small family or couples, located around half a mile from Weymouth's glorious sandy beach.

Steeped in history, it was once as a toll collection point, still retaining lots of beautiful original features blended elegantly with modern comforts.

With a private walled garden that catches the sun, a modern kitchen, spacious dining room, and cosy garden facing lounge, this cottage is sure to steal your heart.

It’s brilliant for dog lovers as you can bring up to three dogs to the house.

RSPB Radipole lake is a short walk away, so you could walk your pets in the morning and in the evening not going too far away from the property and still getting a glimpse of nature inside of the town. Only a brisk ten-minute walk to the sea front and town, it's ideally placed for enjoying Weymouth's Georgian seafront, restaurants, cafes and bars.

If you feel like exploring further afield, Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove are a short 20-minute journey, and you are ideally located for access to Monkey world and The Tank museum.

Venture deeper to the countryside and you will find a county town of Dorchester with beautiful iron-age Maiden castle – from which views to all sides are splendid.

Sheep are freely roaming there, so make sure to keep your dogs on a lead. After an exciting day out retreat to The Coachman's House and relax in this quiet historical oasis.
