Little Tern

It was a lovely place to stay,well equipped and a very comfortable bed and quality bedding.

Would recommend a stairgate at bottom of stairs to stop dogs,we had to make sure all doors upstairs were shut to make sure our pup didn't go on the beds or steal toilet rolls. The garden was totally secure but the gravel bed was like a pic and mix for our puppy,nightmare stopping her eating it.Only negative couldn't get standard TV channels on TV. Great location to walk into Weymouth in10 mins. Would stay there again especially as there was safe off road parking.

This was our third year at Little Tern.

So needless to say we were very happy with the accommodation. We find it very central for all our needs. Just on the right is a nice big green for dog walking & just down & across the bridge your in nothe Park. Very convenient for pubs/eateries in hope sq/ old brewery. & town/ beach close at hand.

We were told there were two parking spaces available.

On the second day, another car was parked next to ours? The stairs were a major irritation, they are seriously creaky! You could not use them at night for the fear of waking your partner up. I tend to get up first in the morning and woke my wife every time by going downstairs. Really need attention. Very noisy neighbours in number 45!!!

Lovely quiet and convenient location.

House comfortable and clean, kitchen equipment good, bed and bed linen really fab, also towels were lovely. We would definitely book Little Tern again. Just one complaint the television system was awful, neither of us could work out how to get channels 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 - maybe it was our age though that we couldn't work it out!!!!!

This little cottage is absolutely beautiful we stayed 4 nights in this little gem it's lovely bright and clean would highly recommend short walk into the harbour and town definitely will book again 4 people in our party and a dog and we all loved it

The directions to the property could have been better, they should have explained it was the 2nd turn off with odd numbers.

It’s not easy when you’re tired after a long journey, you need to have straightforward directions. We couldn’t get the key safe to work, it didn’t help it was only a couple of feet off the ground and half hidden by undergrowth. Your colleagues sorted it quickly with some WD40 but all of the locks in the house could do with a squirt! The house had a couple of cleaning issues, there was a deposit left in the toilet, really bad. The seal at the bottom of the shower screen was black with mood, not pleasant. However, the house was so well equipped, to have a teapot and milk jug was a huge tick for me. If we ever go back to Weymouth, we would certainly go back to Little Tern. One last point, please mention the fact that the South West Coast Path was so close to the property in the description, a huge selling point.

Very pleased with this accommodation everything was perfect really clean and had everything you could possibly want ,excellent

Just back from a wonderful stay in weymouth.

Little Tern was exactly what we expected, close to all the places we wanted to go, the dog walking field , newtons cove and the harbour etc Would recommend.

We holiday in Weymouth 4 times a year but this was the first dog friendly house we stayed in.

The property was clean and fresh with everything we needed. I would definitely recommend this property. Kevin from South Wales.

I have booked through Dream Cottages and Sykes, properties for a number of years.

They have all been of a very high quality in terms of cleanliness, decor, location, parking and price. I have stayed on "The Maltings" a number of times over the years, it's a great location for the bars and restaurants' of Hope Square and the harbour (5 minutes), Nothe Gardens and Fort, a leisurely stroll, and the beach (15-20 minutes)plus the over cliff field overlooking Newtons Cove and Portland (great for my dog) near the rear of the property. Very Dog friendly wherever you go, so a great location and base for your adventures. Little Tern is fabulous, spotlessly clean, well appointed with all the kitchen items you would need for your stay, with comfy beds and furniture and tasteful decoration throughout. Yes the back garden is a steep climb, but there are very sturdy hand rails leading up to the 2 terraced spots and a good sized private parking spot just to the front of the property. Just one hiccup during my stay: it turned rather cold at night and I suddenly realised the central heating was not working. Dream Cottages offices are a short distance from Little Tern, they dealt with the issue immediately, many thanks to them and again to Paul who promptly fixed the problem. Would I stay at Little Tern again? Definitely.

The house was a lovely little 2 bed and in a convenient location to the harbour and Nothe.

It didn't take us long to walk to the other side of the harbour. The fact that the house had a car parking space was an added bonus, part of the reason why I opted to book. There were enough plates and glasses, however did notice that there were no scissors, so ended up buying a pair of my own. There were a couple of chipped plates and glasses so you may want to check this out, just think with children and safety (especially if people have little ones). There were biscuits and coffee/ tea sachets left for us for arrival, however I do think for the money a small hamper box would be nice, like in other properties we've stayed in. My children complained all week about how uncomfortable the beds were and that they could feel the springs. Our double bed was hard and the pillows weren't the comfiest. In fact, I had a headache every single day when we were away and I'm pretty sure it was the pillows and bed that caused it

Grubby in places - lots of dust and some bits of old food (possibly old dog treats) under the bigger sofa.

Dirty mirror.

Another lovely break weather was a bonus just what we needed after a bad couple of months

A lovely place to stay.

Nicely furnished and comfortable. Sykes were also very helpful when we go locked out.

The property was nice and modern, clean & well maintained.

Double bed was nice and comfortable but our other guest thought the single bed could have been better. We had some difficulty with the front door lock. We found it difficult at times to enter the property. We were surprised to find no hair dryer there as we thought this would be standard equipment. But all in all lovely property in a nice position. We enjoyed our stay would recommend & would return.

1st class property and service.

Unfortunately a few days into our holiday the washing machine broke down but a quick phone call to Dream Cottages office and the matter was dealt with promptly and efficiently so much so that the following morning a new machine was delivered and fitted. Dream Cottages maintenance man Piers Campbell was extremely friendly and efficient and is undoubtedly an asset to the company since in these days of booking everything on the Internet he may well be the only person that holiday makers have any interaction with. If, in the future, I have another holiday in Weymouth I will be happy to book with Dream Cottages.

Lovely property in great location within walking distance of all that Weymouth has to offer.

We had a lovely stay.

However we did notice a few things that could be addressed. The clock in the kitchen was broken could do with replacing. Hot water was an issue we didn't have any for days until we had figured out that the switch in the cupboard in the other bedroom needed to stay on as it had been switched off when we arrived. The shelf in the bathroom one side was very loose needs attention. Recycling we want to do our part for the environment but could not find any Recycling bins anywhere. Could possibly let holiday makers know where they are located. Apart from the few minor issues a very enjoyable stay once again.

Should be call little gem, great location, good shower and a comfy bed

Nice decor and furniture Very poor lighting in kitchen and non existent instructions for appliances TV instructions didn’t relate to box installed Poor maintenance eg outside light only works intermittently,electric shower didn’t work keybox very difficult to close kitchen window didn’t open Garden very disappointing very steep you just look at a brick wall!

We didn’t enjoy our stay here

Overall very nice holiday cottage, not easy to watch TV by everyone , due to position of lounge furniture, both mattresses in single room ,if updated would improve the comfort of our stay at the Little Tern immensely.

A beautiful home from home.

Spotlessly clean. Perfect location for all amenities. My only very minor recommendation would be the TV. Normal channels We could not access. The garden was compact and steep however we knew that before booking so no surprise to us. Maybe have more comfortable outdoor furniture. Absolutely loved our stay, would highly recommend this little gem.

Lovely cottage close to the harbour and easy enough to walk into Weymouth Town centre or to the beach.

One of the best cottages we've stayed at .

Everything first class

A lovely house and great staff helped me when I locked myself out!

Unfortunately the outdoor space was not secure for my dog (or any dog) as one side of fence was just wire mesh, waist high. Otherwise a, great place but not for dogs.

Had a very enjoyable stay at little tern would recommend it although a bit small for 4 people and a labrador but enjoyed our holiday

First time staying in a cottage rather than static caravans and loved it!

Very clean and tidy and smelt lovely when we walked in. Great location for walking to the harbour and town and also for walking our dog in the field behind the property. Very quiet area too which was lovely. Would definitely return.

This house was perfect for what we needed it for - overflow from our house in Weymouth for our grown up kids and their partners.

Great location, really handy for dog walking on the field above the property or into town.

What a lovely cottage within a short walk of the Weymouth Quayside It was clean and tidy and very well provisioned for a holiday home.

Only small criticism is that the small lounge suites are a tad low and shallow for people over Hobbit size and for a winter break not comfortable sofa’s. We will book again all being said this property has been maintained to a very high standard by Dream Cottages. Many Thanks. Karen and Kevin

This is a lovely little holiday cottage.

It had everything we needed and the location was good. We especially liked the gate at the end of the garden as a quicker route to the dog friendly park - which had amazing sea views! There are plenty of places to eat nearby - we especially liked Cactus Jacks and Rockfish (both dog friendly). The cove art gallery is worth a visit too - beautiful local art. It was disappointing that a previous occupant had not adhered to the no smoking rule as this left the property smelling of cigarettes. The maintenance team did explain to us that the carpet and upholstery would be cleaned in the future.

We had a great holiday in this lovely cottage which is situated in a fantastic location near to the sea and harbour.

Little Tern is a lovely holiday home, tastefully decorated a nice newer cottage at The Maltings car parking space close.

close to Newtons cove for lovely walks and close to BrewersvQuay and Harbour. May be a TV in the main bedroom be nice add for the future for winter months.

Excellent property, very clean, everything there that was needed.

Short walk to the beach & brilliant field for walking our dogs 2 minutes away. Highly recommended.

Fantastic place to stay, its of high quality and has everything you need for a comfortable holiday.

Its location is also great and is within walking distance to the beach and harbour, we would definitely recommend and would go again.

Great, ticked all the boxes

Great location lovely and clean nice back garden.

Oh and the dog loved it

Great property and location and crockery etc was a really high spec and everything you needed for a comfortable stay.

As it's a dog friendly properly it would be great to have a bit more information for dogs locally. Had a thoroughly enjoyable stay and the property was great. Thank you.

Absolutely enjoyed our stay at Little Tern.

The back of cottage was a real sun trap. Everything was spotless and had everything you needed and more. It was nice there was a park just up the hill for dog walking especially in the morning. The one thing we would recommend is a non slip bath mat. We would definitely recommend Little Tern. Thank you.
