Harbour Catch Cottage

It a lovely place and had a lovely weeks hoilday at harbour cottage and will book for my next hoilday next years for about 2 weeks

As always everything was spot on

Harbour catch cottage was perfect it had everything we could possibly need , the little gifts and wine left were a lovely surprise, couldn’t fault any part of the cottage , had a problem with the front door lock sticking rang dreams and within an hr it was all sorted , we truly enjoyed our and we have already booked again for next year !

!

We had a lovely holiday in Harbour Catch Cottage, perfectly placed for both the beach and the harbour.

Everything was in the the cottage that you would need for a good holiday, nice touches including a bottle of wine and biscuits. Only downside was the settee could do with replacing as it was uncomfortable, but apart that it was perfect. Loved our holiday hopefully booking again for next year.

Ideal location, spotlessly clean and everything you need provided Highly recommended

Superb location very handy for beach pubs and restaurants.

Only slight problem is building work at rear of property..should be finished soon hopefully. Thanks..great stay

Fabulous cottage well presented and equipped with everything you need.

Also near all amenities pubs restaurants beach and great for dog walks

The position of the cottage is good, but the overall comfort of the house was not as expected.

The listing stated that there was a double and a single bed, but there were two double beds instead, and neither was comfortable. The pillows were flat and lumpy, and the quilt on one of the beds was very thin and did not fit the cover properly. There was no stair gate, despite this being listed. We also noticed an unpleasant odour in the lounge and kitchen area. We left three days earlier than planned as the stay was not restful. There was major building work behind the cottage starting at 7am each morning, and we had not been informed about this in advance.

Lovely cottage by the quay.

Perfectly placed for most amenities - beach, harbour side bars, Nothe Fort, bus stops, town centre, good walks. Cosy in winter.

This is a compact cottage right in the middle of the harbour-side action.

It is beautifully refurbished and decorated and just around the corner from the dock-side pubs and the main shopping street. There are plenty of attractions in Weymouth itself and local buses go to Portland and Lyme Regis, as well as a convenient rail service to Poole and Bournemouth. We had a great time there.

It was great property and a great location to get to all the thing we needed to get during our stay and we'll maintained and will be coming back next years because the experience was great so book again

We had a great holiday at Harbour Catch Cottage.

Front room very dark.

Required light on during the day. Garden area looks bigger in the photos but too small to sit out in a d always full of flies. Maybe due to building work behind. Parking difficult even with a permit. Had to drive around streets until someone came out of a spot. Location is fabulous and beds comfortable even though plows had seen better days

Lovely cottage great location will definitely be booking again

Thank you for a lovely stay in your beautiful little cottage.

Everything we needed for a comfortable stay. So close to all of Weymouths amenities, pubs, shops, buses, cafes! The welcome wine much appreciated too. Have passed your details on to friends already Thank you again

The cottage was cosy, very well equipped and excellent attention to detail.

Communication from Dream Cottages was faultless.

A well located property and nice house layout for a reasonably priced short stay but in need of a thorough clean throughout.

We liked it so much we have booked in for next year!

The accommodation suited us perfectly. Comfy bed. Clean bedding. Quaint and quirky little cottage. Old cottage and the start of the year is always a bit musty- but aired out quickly. Centrally located and although you can hear the clubs and pubs at night time it’s nothing a pair of ear plugs can’t resolve! Or just go to the party! The parking permit was a bonus and we had no problem finding a parking place in the area although parking is free from 6pm in public car parks, as far as I am aware. The kitchen was very well equipped, been in larger houses with much less - Thankyou to the owner who must be a cook! The little courtyard catches the sun in the morning ☀️ The only downside is the steep staircase inside but as long as no one with mobility issues books should be fine.

We stayed with our dog mid April in this lovely little property.

It's perfectly placed in Weymouth, around the corner from Harbour, pubs and the town. The only drawback is that the front bedroom does get noisy in the early hours from the nearby pubs, onto deliveries first thing in the morning. The washing machine is situated in a lock up in the back garden, as the kitchen is small but adequate for a holiday stay. Kitchen has small fridge with small freezer space at top, microwave, kettle, toaster etc. There are steep stairs up to bedrooms, but this is normal for old cottages. Beds are comfy. Shower is over the bath, attached to the taps, but powerful enough. A lovely stay, recommended.

Lovely location and comfortable cottage.

TV and shower could do with an upgrade. Apart from that all fine. Hope to return.

everything you need for a visit to the area, very quiet considering how central the property is with all amenities genuinely on the doorstep.

highly recommend this always popular cottage.

excellent property, the wine, biscuits, etc is a nice touch, will be back

We stayed over Christmas at this cottage, very clean and cosy, it can be a bit noisy out the front because of the pubs on the harbour, but the main bedroom very quiet, the bed is comfortable but a little bit small, shower is good but apart from the basket on wall I did knock it a few times, the tv needs updating not a smart tv only free view so nothing on over Christmas, but very lovely cottage

We’ve been coming to Weymouth for a number of years but this was our first post covid visit and the first time staying on this side of the harbour.

This compact cottage has everything you need and the welcome gift and tea/coffee tray is a lovely addition after a long journey. The location is fabulous and we didn’t need to use the car all week. Yes parking can be an issue but that’s Weymouth for you, it would be ideal if you could use the parking permit on the near by car park, but that’s just a suggestion and not a fault of the property. The house was absolutely spotless and warm and cosy. We have already booked for next year! A fab little place if you like to be close to the heart of everything- harbour, amusements and the beach.

I think there was a glitch with the cleaner, as the beds had been made but dustbin wasn't emptied and filled rubbish bags not disposed of.

Having said that, the cottage was really well equipped, the beds were comfy and the location was great. We've been to Weymouth many times but this was our first time staying in a cottage and I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was..

Really enjoyed out stay.

The cottage was fantastic. Lovely touch with the welcome gift. Needed it after the long journey and the problem we had to sort out with the permit. It was well equipped. Wanted for nothing. Plenty of towels. Comfy beds and pillows. Well situated. A bit noisy but that is what you get for staying in the centre. Good double glazing. Had window open at night. Had to close it due to local pub banging the lid down on bin every 5 minutes. The front door lock needs addressing, very stiff. Freezer box needs defrosting. Needed to keep my dog food pouches in. You will save your self some money there on bills. Soon got use to parking system. A bit annoyed that local residents taking up zone F spaces in Helen Lane without a permit. There are 3 of them. This needs to be addressed with the local authority. A thank you to the owner for getting us a new parking permit as there was know sign of one when we arrived. We were on a very tight budget and couldn't afford the parking fees. Big thank you to Dream Cottages for looking after us with this problem. We will be back.

Lovely property and brilliant location, really happy and would definitely consider returning / recommending.

We'd read past holidaymakers complaining about noise from a nearby nightclub at the weekend, but we didn't notice anything. The only thing that might need attention is the thermostat... it's not accurate and even turned down to 15C the heating came on when it was definitely a normal room temperature of around 20C. It didn't in any way negatively impact our stay, we just thought you should know.

Harbour Catch is the perfect spot for enjoying Weymouth, close to the beach and Harbour as well as shops and pubs.

The cottage us well equipped as nd beautifully decorated.

Lovely little pet friendly cottage with everything you need.

Loved the location & would definitely recommend to family & friends. Wouldn’t hesitate to return.

Our second stay at this lovely cottage.

Homely atmosphere and ideal location. Will definitely be back again.

A lovely cottage to stay in.

A great location near the Harbour & town although a little noisy at times but we were not put off by this as realise it’s a busy harbour with lots going on & after the covid pandemic it’s nice to see & hear people having fun & businesses busy.

We had a lovely stay at “Harbour Catch”, cosy cottage lots of trinkets about the cottage , nice to have a parking permit to use , great location for exploring Weymouth beach and the harbour, lots of pubs within a stones throw!

! Only negative we had to pay a full weeks supplement for the dogs when we were only there for 3 nights - maybe worth looking at a reduction for short breaks - otherwise could not fault the cottage

Stayed here March 2022.

This is a lovely little cottage, well presented, and clean. Washing machine is situated in an outside lockup, which personally, I would have removed the inside dishwasher to have machine inside, (but that's my own personal taste). Beds are very comfortable, kitchen well equipped.Shower over the bath does need replacing, which hopefully has been done by now, as very poor strength. The downside for us was, although it is an excellent location for harbour, pubs and shops, this is also a negative. As you are only across the road from the Ship Inn, and other pubs, it's very noisy late at night, with lorries and bin trucks starting up very early mornings. Maybe better windows would be an option.

Lovely cottage, would have scored 5 stars if they had provided feather quilts, Hate synthetic quilts

Lovely place and in a good location, just right for my father who is unable to walk far.

Comfortable cottage with great facilities and in a fantastic location.

Could do with a fan in the property for those super hot days with no breeze. Sadly a lot of noise Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights until 3-4am from a local pub/club. Great response from the contact person when the fire alarm batteries needed replacing - someone came and did it within a couple of hours and also called afterwards to check it was all ok. All in all, a lovely little place and would definitely consider staying again.

Harbour catch cottage fantastic location, cottage was spotless inside can't fault anything we will be definitely booking again Alison and Martin and our Dogs from Abingdon Oxfordshire

Our second stay, this time with daughter in law and baby grand- daughter.

Cot and high chair were very good quality and clean condition. Owners can’t be blamed for noisy revellers and drug users in the town but they do affect one’s stay in Weymouth. Apart from kitchen tap dripping and front door key stiff in lock nothing to report. A lovely cottage, thank you.

Wonderful cottage great location only slight problem is no allocated parking which is the local authorities fault not the owners

Harbour Catch cottage is delightful.

It is obvious that the owner takes great pride in the property as it is so beautifully presented. The finishing touches such as the little wooden cottages and holiday caravans on the shelving and the Weymouth related artwork on the walls show originality and individuality and the thoughtfulness of putting out a little handmade cottage gift with a bottle of wine and a handwritten welcome card for arriving guests is such a lovely thing to do. We absolutely loved the cottage and wished we had booked for longer….we went home very reluctantly! The comfort and cleanliness of the property is more than outstanding and the beds are very comfortable! The very close proximity to the harbour is perfect and it is also only a short walk to the seafront. We had no trouble parking (we were lucky enough to find one almost outside the cottage and had no reason to move the car during our stay) and there are plenty of the relevant zone permit spaces around the harbour and neighbouring streets. We ate out each day as there is plenty of choice around the harbour but you could very easily completely self-cater because the cottage is very well equipped. We will definitely be booking again - thank you for such a lovely place to stay

It was extremely noisy late at night and early in the morning which meant not much sleep ,apart from that fantastic

A lovely place to stay - excellent location, very comfortable & well equipped.

A beautiful, comfortable, home from home in the perfect location to be close to the harbour, beach and town.

The cottage is tastefully furnished and the owner's creations make the place an unique and amazing place to stay.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Harbour Catch Cottage.

Lovely homely accommodation in a superb location. Will definitely come again.

Beautiful cottage, close to all amenities

only one criticism, could do with new mattress, otherwise excellent

A little gem.

Loved it! Also impressed by Dream Cottages.

Parking is very difficult.

We could not find any spaces to use the parking permit, we looked every day and had to spend over 60 pounds for the 7 night stay in council car parks some a long walk from the house.

The parking permit can be useless on many occasions when the town is busy.

The permit is a joint user with the general public. You need to advise your customers of the difficulty, we have already had words with Dream Cottages.

I would advise a couple of things.

1) The stuff within the cottage is very basic, so take any food and drink you need. 2) Parking is very, very limited. Even with the permit, you have to hunt around for a space. We were lucky to find one in Helen Lane, but we left it there for the week worried that if we moved it, we'd lose it! 3) The courtyard, isn't really a courtyard. There's barely room to turn around. 4) The toilet seat needs fixing 5) The sink in the bathroom was blocked. However, it was a lovely cottage, Weymouth and it's harbour is amazing. There's loads of pubs within hopping distance.

The cottage was centrally located, well equipped and adequate for my needs.

Simple entry system. Acommodation was rather chilly at times but an electric heater helped.No other problems.Could you add directions from the railway station to your description of the property?

We booked very last minute and it would be good to have a quicker way to contact the team rather than just the phone line which has a long wait time.

. What about email or chat options? Also please tell the owner that the cottage was LOVELY BUT, in the master bedroom the mattress was VERY soft and gave us both bad backs... I would strongly advise they replace the mattress with a better quality one. Guests who don’t sleep well are not going to return!

We had a great week.

The location enables you to walk to all the many eating and drinking establishments in town. The convenience of just a short walk to take in the sights of Nothe gardens or the old harbour or the beach is so good. We will certainly come back to Weymouth again at this time of year when the crowds are gone and you can move around with ease.

Location is brilliant, everything in walking distance.

The house was small but sweet. Ideal for a weekend away but a week was too much and we couldn’t wait to get home. Few phone calls I made to dream cottages were completely unhelpful. Book to be independent because they won’t help. Parking - don’t expect it. I called when we arrived early to ask what the parking permit zones were and they couldn’t tell me. It’s parking zone F if you do book. Have a drive around because there will be nothing on Helens Lane it’s all private garages. The picture is misleading, the green garage next door in the photo isn’t part of the house at all. Parking zone F sometimes has some pay and displays. If you arrive early it’s probably best to pay if you can get a space and add the permit in once you’re in the house. You may have time to pull up, block the roads, chuck your things out and drive off before another car comes down otherwise it’s a hassle lugging everything round from wherever you get parked. Garden - what garden? It’s a small patio strip if you like pacing in the morning. Sofa felt old and dirty like you’d sit on it and get bug bites. Probably is clean enough but considering the house looks like it’s recently has a bit of new flooring and paint a few sofa is desperately needed. Main bedroom bed is a small double with a double bed topper, so you’ll feel like you’re falling out of bed every time. Worst weeks sleep and our bed was greatly appreciated when we got home. Pack your own pillows unless you’re not fussy about flat and cheap. Minimal facilities, assuming due to Covid but you’ll need tea, coffee, sugar, toilet rolls, hand soap, dish soap.. A small sample would have been a nice complimentary, but we did get a bottle of white wine complimentary- great when you’re pregnant and would prefer a cup of tea! Upon arrival, a glass was cracked, a plate chipped so I hope we won’t be accused for that. Overall, the only thing we were grateful for and enjoyed was having our dogs with us and the location was great with lots of dog friendly restaurants. If we decided to visit Weymouth again, I wouldn’t go to this house and I wouldn’t go through Dream Cottages.

Lovely cottage with lovely decor, extremely clean and a lovely gift left for us, the cottage was right in the harbour making it great for shops bars and restaurants and only a few minutes walk to the beach, a parking pass was in the cottage for us to use however there was no parking available so we had to use the pavilion carpark that cost us around £50 for the week, the only thing we had a problem with was the noise at night there seemed to be a lot of shouting and banging when the bars and restaurants closed until early hours however the windows did block a lot of the noise out it was just hot so we had to open them.

Cottage was lovely and comfortable, really clean, and really thoughtful of owner to leave us a welcome present, Would stay there again as so local to shops, sea front,

The cottage was very clean and well equipped.

Its central location also allowed us to enjoy all the activities Weymouth has to offer. In addition the welcome pack contained useful information about day trips out of Weymouth that was really helpful and made for some good days out!

Fabulous location restraunts ,bars,shops,beach all on door step .

Cottage was sparkling clean , beautifully decorated and furnished.absolutely loved it . Have already recommended to family and friends. Spent my special birthday here and I will never forget it. Highly recommend .I will definitely book again .thank you .

Harbour Catch cottage is a lovely little holiday home.

Cosy welcoming and comfy. The courtyard garden though is very small. We really enjoyed being right on the Quay side but also a few minutes walk the other way into town. The dog friendly beach is just around the corner. The only thing that marred our stay was parking! Although there is a permit supplied it is first come first served on the spaces available. This at the weekend especially meant riding around trying to find parking. Work on the harbour wall has also meant spaces are not available.

Cottage was very clean except for the rear outside area which needed a good sweep A good position near harbour parking can be an issue Ideal place as a base to explore the local area We were very comfortable

We enjoyed ur time in Weymouth.

Harbour Catch Cottage was very sweet and the general location interesting and fairly convenient ,however not really suitable for us. The information and description failed to state that the stairs were quite steep . we are in our 70’s. The double bedroom is very small. Good use has been made of space for clothes etc. But no room to turn around. Again ,we are over 70 and none too nimble. Kitchen space was limited too. Not equipped well. Lots of pans and baking dishes ,but not enough mugs/ cups once we’d had a cuppa and those cups were in the dish washer for example. No tea pot milk jug or sugar bowl. Nowhere to store our food, all cupboards filled with baking equipment! Dishwasher could not be opened as the nob of cupboard in the way, until we managed to swivel the dish washer asque PARKING! A big issue, especially on arrival. Procedure not clear in information as not sure which were the permitted areas. Not enough spaces any way. Beds and chairs lovely and comfy . T V and games and books etc. excellent. Happy time . Harbour very interesting. Lots to see and do. Good job we had our son with us to carry back and forth to car and to find somewhere to park and walk back to Harbour Catch Cottage

For our two week visit the cottage proved to be the perfect base for enjoying rambles on the coast and exploring the Dorset countryside.

On wet days, the cottage was comfy and cozy — and everything from pubs and coffee shops to a cinema and shopping are all on the doorstep. The cottage was well-stocked with good beds. All in all, a very nice stay.

Really fantastic cottage with everything we needed and in a great location

the property was very clean and comfortable and in an ideal location,the only down side for me that in the dark the picture of the property was not the same as the colour of the door on arrival with no name plate it was slightly confusing'also that the door to where the washing machine was had a rusty padlock on so couldn't be used,i would recommend the property and would stay there again .

Nice little cottage, local to all amenities. Stayed Jul 2018

We enjoyed our stay at Harbour Catch Cottage. Fresh and clean upon arrival. Perfect for the 3 of us. We had a BBQ in the courtyard on the last day. Central to town, pubs and beach. Great to chill. 99 flakes to die for - stayed August 2018
