    “Great location!”

    Very quiet. By Newton's Cove/Nothe/The Harbour. Great to have a parking space. Thanks for the hamper! Found the photos of the house slightly deceiving as the bathroom is very tight and the bedroom with single beds and the main bedroom is very tight. There is hardly any floor space. Found the bathroom dirty. Floor, basin and bath not clean. Shower pole fell off wall and shower was so powerful it soaked floor and ran out after five minutes which wasn't great after swimming in the sea. It took ...

    Very quiet. By Newton's Cove/Nothe/The Harbour. Great to have a parking space. Thanks for the hamper! Found the photos of the house slightly deceiving as the bathroom is very tight and the bedroom with single beds and the main bedroom is very tight. There is hardly any floor space. Found the bathroom dirty. Floor, basin and bath not clean. Shower pole fell off wall and shower was so powerful it soaked floor and ran out after five minutes which wasn't great after swimming in the sea. It took ages to heat up for the next person to have a shower. There was only one tiny shelf in the bathroom. More shelves are needed. Heated towel rail only worked when heating was on. No window in bathroom. No chest of drawers or storage in single beds room. All the storage is in the main room. Need more hangers in main bedroom. No leads for PS3 in lounge. Everything is wooden. Not practical in case of spillage. Didn't see pasta bowls or dishwasher tablets in kitchen. Would have been helpful to have had a list of what you have in the kitchen. Previous reviewer requested pasta bowls so thought there weren't any. No washing manual. No desert spoons only soup spoons. Hot water runs out very quickly. Utility room reeks of mould! Loose paving slab in garden.

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!
