“We loved the location of the property, being just a few minutes from the harbour.”

There were also some good areas for dog walking nearby. The residential area in which it is based seemed very nice and we met some friendly locals. Off road parking was great, nice big space. Lovely touch to have some milk and treats for us and the dog left for us on arrival. ...

There were also some good areas for dog walking nearby. The residential area in which it is based seemed very nice and we met some friendly locals. Off road parking was great, nice big space. Lovely touch to have some milk and treats for us and the dog left for us on arrival. The property itself was very nice, quirky features and pleasant rooms. Great amount of space and facilities such as a dishwasher and washing machine were great. The spiral staircase is a real feature of the property but it was an issue for us with a small puppy. We were aware of it in advance from other reviews but it could be made clearer in the listing as it could also be a problem for families. A gate to block off the stairs would have been fantastic for us. The listing could also perhaps be clearer in respect of the patio area, which is at the front of the property and not enclosed.

“The description of the property is very misleading as it says "Patio garden with furniture" There is no garden at all - and what is actually meant is an open front off road parking space which has 2 seats at the front door.”

This is not suitable for letting your dog out at night as you have absolutely no garden space at all. There is a great dog walking park 3 minutes away which was fantastic but I was expecting somewhere to let the dog out before bed. So felt very disappointed that there was no garden. The rest of the property as was described with lovely cream team provided on arrival. I do think the description should be amended so people with dogs don't expect a garden or outside area.

“Great house in a great location.”

Walking distance to harbour, beach, shops restaurants/bars. The master bedroom's bed is uncomfortable but a lovely room as are the other two bedrooms. Plenty of seating in the lounge and the kitchen is well equipped. We were a party of 2 adults, two boys 21 and 17 and a labrador dog and there was enough space for us all. Handy off road parking directly in front of the house accommodated a LWB crew van. Small, pleasant front garden with seating. A fantastic dog friendly open green area a 3 minute walk away. A decent section of the beach is dog friendly. There are lots of surrounding areas to visit but we chose to spend the week close by so parked the van on arrival day and it didn't move until departure day. Weymouth is a great coastal resort and you will not be disappointed with the house or location.

“The house is in a great location, 5 minutes walk from Brewers Quay.”

It is spacious and clean and well equipped. The spiral staircase is a bit steep but not a problem if you are careful. Having a parking space is a great bonus. I would recommend it as a place to stay

“Great location.”

Can't control the heat on the shower, too hot. Not sure if it leaks, looking at the kitchen ceiling

“A really well equipped, comfortable and peaceful cottage.”

Thoughtful welcome pack and generous provision of all essentials. Location fantastic for central Weymouth and excellent walks from front door. Dogs loved it too. Didn’t have to drive anywhere! Highly recommend.

“Great location.”

Facilities were excellent and clean. Well looked after house with everything you could ask for. Well equipped kitchen and bathroom, spacious rooms and bedrooms. Easy to find location with an excellent folder of info about local things to do and technical house related stuff. Tiny criticism is that the smaller bedroom could do with a curtain to block out any early morning sunshine and a radio in the kitchen would be good (for those of us preparing food). If that is the only thing I can think of to criticise then it must be good. Previous comments about uncomfortable beds and radiator in the bathroom not working have been resolved. The spiral stair is fine and not an issue. Great stay and great mini break had by all. Nice touch with the scones on arrival. Thank you!

“Generally everything was very good.”

Location is good for exercising dogs and for walking in to town. I rated the comfort a bit low because the double bed was quite small and that gave us trouble sleeping - that is not obvious from the listing. The shiny wood of the spiral staircase was a little precarious in stockinged feet and matting would have been preferred - I know that sounds picky and matting would be harder to clean but that and the size of the double would stop us booking again. It would also be nicer to have a consistent set of cutlery as well rather than a random collection including old ivory handles. A decent set is available from Ikea for £15 so not a big outlay: https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/dragon-24-piece-cutlery-set-stainless-steel-90091760/ The towel rail in the bathroom didnt get warm and I couldnt turn it on. I know I should have reported that to give the opportunity to fix it but we didnt want the intrusion (apologies!) Generally the kitchen was well equipped and I was impressed with the inclusion of a pestle and mortar - my salsa verde would have been a bit trickier without that :-) I dont want to give the impression that this is a bad review because it isnt intended to be - The place was clean and functional and in a good location. It was a little bit quirky but good for pet owners to holiday at

“Everything was totally perfect.”

Can't wait to stay again next year. Was very sad to come home.

“We found everything perfect except the beds were uncomfortable and the WFI was poor”

Mr Worster August 2020

“Really good property - clean, spacious and well located.”

Only issue we had was the noise from the neighbouring properties, particularly from above and during the night. Everything else was excellent.

The property

Brewers Retreat is a charming holiday home situated close to Weymouth’s historic harbour and town centre, making a brilliant base for a couple or family of four seeking an action-packed adventure in Dorset.

Offering guests an off-road parking space for one car, park up right outside the property and head inside to discover your quaint home-from-home.

Enter into a modest yet convenient porch area, leading into the sitting room where you can settle down with a good book for some quiet time after a day of family fun, or catch up on your favourite TV shows with your loved ones close by as you sink into one of the stylish leather sofas.

Head through into the kitchen/diner where you can find every essential needed to rustle up a tasty meal for all to enjoy at the dining table, the perfect social spot when you’re not out exploring the delicious waterside eateries of the local town.

Venture up the spiral staircase to the first floor to be greeted by the three inviting bedrooms; the master, consisting of a double with a bright and airy yellow interior, and two single rooms, one with a blue and one with a pink interior, making a lovely layout for a family of four to catch up on their rest.

Serving the bedrooms is a bathroom boasting both a walk-in shower and a bath, so you can choose how best to prepare for your day.

For all of your local amenities take a short stroll from the front door to be greeted by range of wonders; whether you’re seeking the simplicity of a local shop to gather up any last-minute ingredients or seafood restaurants serving all kinds of tasty treats, you can find everything to cater for your culinary requirements within walking distance.

Also in the town centre are a range of family-friendly attractions; spend a day at the SEA LIFE Centre discovering wonderful marine life such as sharks, fish, turtles and more, or get up close to the creatures for yourself by exploring the rockpools amongst the golden sands of the beach.

Spend family time together crabbing in the inner harbour followed by some traditional fish and chips, or explore the Georgian esplanade, lining the award-winning beach with its range of shops, eateries and attractions, making a pleasant way to while away the hours.

Visit the Isle of Portland for a truly scenic experience, or venture into Dorchester for even more eateries and fantastic shopping scene.

Brewers Retreat makes a beautiful base for a holiday to Dorset at any time of year.
