“My husband, son and daughter in law and 2 granddaughters age 10 and 13 had an absolutely amazing holiday in Weymouth made all the better by staying at Barley Mews.”

Upon entering the property we were delighted with everything. It is light and airy, spacious, clean and finished to a very high standard and we couldn't ask for more. The location was perfect with lots of eating places close by and only a short walk to the beach. The added bonus was the games room which we all enjoyed immensely. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending Barley Mews and look forward to returning

“Fabulous accommodation for our family.”

Bedrooms and on suite facilities were great and the games room was a real hit with our kids. 2 mins from all the facilities at Brewers Quay. Parking facilities were a real bonus. Thank you for a fabulous holiday. Geraint Evans

“Barley Mews is a lovely property in an excellent location.”

Unfortunately, there was a real issue for us with the several low wooden and also plastered beams on the first floor. We were warned about the ground floor low ceilings but not upstairs ( the site description does not mention these). Four of our guests were men of 6’ or over and they managed to sustain a couple of nasty head knocks each upstairs ( and downstairs) throughout the week. When we arrived, the fridge was not clean ,the toaster was broken and the downstairs toilet was dirty and the TV didn’t work as it wasn’t receiving a signal from the aerial. I contacted Dream Cottages who dealt quickly with these problems although the TV was never sorted as someone was going to come with a new code and never did. As far as the kitchen is concerned, for a property of this size and for potentially 9 guests, it is lacking in some basic cooking utensils e.g.it has only one very small (and well- used ) frying pan. There were no egg cups ( Dream Cottage staff brought some of these round). The rug in the larger of the downstairs bedrooms smelt very musty and had to be put in the games room. None of the cues for pool had tips on the ends so the game could not be played. The ceilings downstairs are just too low for adults to use the games anyway. We were disappointed to find a ‘welcome ‘pack of only 1 tea towel, 2 dishwasher tablets, 3 tiny guest soaps, 1 jcloth and 2 big bags. There bathrooms had no complementary toiletries at all. I could have brought these necessities with me of course had I been forewarned. It was a pity to immediately have to go shopping on arrival. I would like to say again what a lovely holiday property this is and with a little more care and thought , would be an all- round success. I cannot however recommend it for just adults of normal and above height. It is quite stressful to be constantly taking care as to avoid a concussion.

“Fantastic house, perfect location.”

Would definitely return.

- Mrs Sharpe, May 2019
“Excellent accommodation!”

Spacious, well equipped and comfortable. Would be happy to return to Barley Mews.

- Mrs Buxton, April 2019
“Great property - quiet but central location - great specification and clean!”

- Mr Martin, March 2019
“A wonderful place to stay - just round the corner from the sea.”

Amenities on the doorstep. Would definitely return.

- Mr Gannon, January 2019
“We had a lovely weekend despite the awful weather and although we stayed in mostly Barley Mews had a fantastic games room where we spent lots of time laughing, also nice quiet space on top floor for reading.”

The cottage was extremely comfortable, warm and spacious. It’s in a good location, everything is in walking distance. We were 8 adults, the bedrooms all have king size beds and plenty of space. We will definitely be returning and would recommend it to family and friends.

- Mrs MacDonald, December 2018
“My wife and I rented this house for a week and were joined for the weekend by family, making a total of 6 adults and two children.”

It was an ideal choice being so close to the harbour and town centre yet quiet and peaceful with two parking spaces. The conversion from brewery mews is very well done and the quality of furniture and fittings is impressive. All beds were comfortable and the bedding good quality. The bathrooms are modern and in pristine condition. The first floor open plan kitchen, lounge and dining area is where most time is spent and it works very well. Plenty of space and a well equipped kitchen. Downstairs is an unusual feature of a games room. We didn't make a lot of use of it but we can imagine a family with older children loving it. It is hard to find fault and the same is true of the Dream Cottages agency which is about 3 minutes walk from the house. Very good service right from initial contact. This part of town is really interesting and there are lots of good pubs, restaurants and walks, right on the doorstep. We would happily return and have no hesitation in recommending it.

“5 Barley Mews is a lovely holiday home, the kids particularly loved the games room and also the contemporary layout with separated living areas.”

The house has been well developed from its industrial past with plenty of interesting features and has been appointed to a very high standard. it is located in a great area in the old harbour side of town which is quiet but only seconds walk from the main town area. it was our first UK holiday renting a house (4 kids 10, 12, 14, 16) and we will definitely be doing it again! Stayed August 2018.

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!
