“This was our 2nd visit.”

We love the location and spaciousness of the cottage. The views over the harbour are wonderful and there's a great pub (Red Lion) and coffee shop literally on your doorstep. The town centre and beach are a leisurely stroll away.

“Lovely property right on the harbour.”

Town and activities all in walking distance. So many places to visit short car ride away. Two front door keys would be useful. Thank you fir a lovely holiday.

“This was the second year we stayed in Harbourside Cottage and were very happy with the accommodation and its location.”

However we requested clean bed linen at the end of our first week, when we arrived back at the cottage at end of the day, we found that the beds had been stripped and the pillows and duvets left on the floor and pile of bed linen dumped in one of the bedrooms. we then had to set too and remake the beds. The whole experience did not live up to our expectations of Dream Cottages service. Peter Heath

- Peter, May 2025

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We're glad to read you were happy with the accommodation and it's lovely harbourside location. We're sorry to read the bedding was in a pile after the beds were stripped, this is not how it is meant to be left for guests. For mid-stay linen changes, it is standard for us to drop off the clean linen for the guests who request for it to make the beds themselves, I apologise if this was not communicated effectively to you. We'd love to welcome you back to Weymouth again! Dream Cottages Property Owner

“Amazing cottage in brilliant location”

“Although booking this cottage 8 months in advance, we were only told about the road closures affecting the property, due to the Wessex Folk Festival 10 days before.”

My party consisted of visitors from Canada and the Bahamas and travelling arrangements could not be changed at this short notice. This resulted in my guests, all aged over 75, having to carry their luggage through performers and visitors to reach the property with no offer of help from the stewards. In future it would be helpful to arrange for assistance to be made available during such events. However the accommodation was very clean and well presented with minor issues being resolved on the day by the team in the local Dream Cottages office. The location of the accommodation made our stay most enjoyable and would recommend renting the property to others, just not when the is festival on.

“Beautiful property in idyllic location.”

We found parking a bit like playing Tetris and had to park in Hope Square a couple of times. Property was not up to usual standard of cleanliness and was probably cleaner when we left! Decor a bit shappy and worn, needs some TLC. Bed on first floor exremely uncomfortable and this bedroom definitely not suited to taller adults.

“Harbourside cottage is in an ideal position right on the harbour.”

Lovely views from all the windows.As usual very comfortable and clean.Hope to book again in 2024. Les&Dawn August.12.

Dear Les & Dawn, so pleased that you enjoyed visiting Harbourside Cottage again. Hope to see you in 2024. Marc & Milly (Owners) Property Owner

“A lovely cottage in Weymouth Harbour.”

Tastefully decorated and well maintained. We had a parking permit for the local streets which enabled us to park right outside. We were there at the beginning of July so there were no parking issues. Not sure what it would be like in the main season, however there is a local car park at Nothe fortress that is a 2 minute walk away and the all day charge was £6 on an online app, which we thought was really reasonable as an alternative. For those who need it the Wi-Fi in the cottage was excellent and accessible in all rooms. Would definitely go back.

- Victoria, July 2023

Thank you so much for your feedback. We are so glad that you liked the cottage. Do come back and visit again - you would be most welcome! Marc & Milly (Owners) Property Owner
Sally June 2023

“An excellent property in a great location, well equipped and well managed.”

As life-long visitors to Weymouth, we believe the harbour side of town with the Nothe Fort, Hope Square and all the pubs and cafes much the best area in which to stay. We haven’t rated this cottage five stars only because every sound from the top floor en suite (shower, lavatory etc) was quite audible in the bedroom below, as was every tread on the creaky stairs. This did cause the odd sleepless night. It’s maybe not a big issue and one to be expected in old properties but we probably wouldn’t stay here again because of this.

- Sally, June 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased that you liked the property and its location so much. We will keep an eye out for the issue you mention, which we haven't encountered before. But, as you say, the cottage is old (over 200 years old!). And should you decide that you would like to stay again, you would be most welcome. Marc & Milly (Owners) Property Owner
Julie May 2023

“The location was terrific and the accommodation suited the needs of our party of 4 adults and 2 children perfectly.”

It was comfortable and attractively decorated and furnished. One minor fault - the handle on the inside of the sliding door to the shower room in the 1st floor en suite was missing.

- Julie, May 2023

Thank you so much for your lovely comments. We do hope that you will come and stay again. Marc & Milly (Owners) Property Owner
Edel February 2023

“Perfect property for our holiday.”

It's in a great location, right along the harbour, with everything you need close at hand - shops, pubs, places to eat. The house is very well equipped, and very comfortable. We felt quite at home there for the few days we stayed!

- Edel, February 2023

Thank you so much for your glowing feedback. We are so glad that you felt so at home and enjoyed your stay! Marc & Milly (Owners) Property Owner
Michael October 2022

“We stayed here for three weeks during October.”

House with really good views over the harbour. It's obviously an old building, but refurbs have been nicely done. The ground floor doesn't look its best with loads of black scratches, and that gives a poor first impression. I understand why it has been done that way, but having a kitchen and main toilet on a different level to the lounge didn't suit us.

- Michael, October 2022
David August 2022

“Brilliant property had everything we needed would definitely stay again Thank you”

- David, August 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay at the cottage. We do hope that you will come and stay again. Marc & Milly (Owners) Property Owner
Jason August 2022

“Our second stay at Harbourside cottage, Location is ideal and the size of the dwelling suits is great.”

However we do feel the overall appearance of the cottage is looking a little tired now, and whilst we had a great time some additional upkeep could improve this cottage. Weeds In the front and courtyard could be addressed.The courtyard is small but isn’t inviting to sit out and eat in the current condition and could be made much more welcoming with upgraded outdoor furniture. The cottage needs a freshen up and carpets could do with replacing, Decor and paint work could do with some attention also The top floor double room has the most uncomfortable mattress and you can feel every spring. Some simple fixes could make this cottage even better.

- Jason, August 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad that you had a great time. We have noted all your helpful points, which will take into account as we continue to improve the cottage further. We do hope that you will come back and stay for a third time! Marc & Milly (Owners) Property Owner
Peter July 2022

“We’ve stayed here well over 10 times, so clearly we like the property.”

The annoyance this year is that we were told that, unlike previously, a parking permit would not be supplied. At considerable inconvenience we travelled by train this year, and were unable to further explore the area by car. We then found out that a different permit was supplied so we could have used the car.

- Peter, July 2022

We are so sorry that you were not told about the new parking permit. Unfortunately, Dorset Council unexpectedly withdrew the previous permit that enabled guests to park both in Weymouth and around about (Chesil Beach etc). However, we now have a permit that allows guests to park right outside the cottage (rather than close-by at Nothe Gardens), which we hope is a welcome improvement. We are pleased that you have enjoyed staying at the cottage so often, and do hope that you will come and stay again. Marc & Milly (Owners) Property Owner
Brian July 2022

“A well equipped holiday let in an excellent position.”

The outside space let the property down as it was dirty drab and could do with some tlc. The inside was tired and probably needs a refurb. One parking place for a six persons let is not enough and future customers with more than one car should add another £40 per car onto their holiday costs. The key safe is a pain but dream cottages kindly provided an extra key which was very useful. Overall a good place to stay

- Brian, July 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased that you enjoyed staying at the cottage. We will take into account the points you have raised as we continue to make improvements to the cottage. We do hope that you will come and stay again. Marc & Milly (Owners) Property Owner

“Harbour side Cottage has the most amazing position with excellent views over the harbour and surrounding areas.”

Lovely spacious rooms with good quality appliances. Needs a little maintenance but all in all a lovely little cottage.

- Stephen, July 2021
Leslie July 2021

“A lovely cottage but in need of some decorating.”

But as the property had recently been sold we expect this problem will be dealt with.We do hope that this property will be let once again as we have stayed here many times.The only other comment is the cleaning was not as good as previous times.

- Leslie, July 2021
Denise July 2021

“Fabulous holiday cottage close to all amenities with a fabulous view.”

A very comfy holiday home with plenty of space with everything we needed. This is the second time we have stayed at this cottage and would definitely stay again. It has everything we could possibly need especially the parking space Thank you

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!

Note: Nearest pay and display parking is at DT4 8UD Nothe car park a few minutes walk.
Please Note: One parking permit available until 31/03/2026 for Harbourside Zone L subject to spaces being available and council renewal.
