“Lovely cottage very close to all amenities and very clean”

- Mrs Imm, October 2020
Miss Kerr October 2020

“Melanie's Cottage was very well equipped and the location absolutely perfect (it's why we chose it!”

). However, the bed was very uncomfortable, pillows totally inadequate and not helped by a winter-weight duvet which, being duck down, was also heavy and over-warm. There was a lighter weight duvet in the bedroom cupboard but it was not packed in a proper bag so I had no idea whether it had been sanitised or not and was therefore not prepared to take the risk at a time when the Covid-19 pandemic is returning. So we went and bought a new, lighter weight duvet from Debenhams. The attitude of the local office staff was very unhelpful, they were not able to provide an alternative nor recognise that we should not have had to spend £35 on an essential item. Sleeping still made difficult though by the bright, yellow, street-type light right outside the bedroom window, which did not have black-out curtains. This has been mentioned in previous comments about this property, but still nothing has been done to address the problem. The one bathroom looks very good with its' walk-in shower - until you try to use the hand held shower and end up with a lake on the bathroom floor, no matter how carefully the shower is used. Kitchen is reasonably well equipped, it was nice to find the thoughtful provision of a hairdryer and tongs in the bedroom. However, there was no plug to the kitchen sink, and the television in the bedroom occupied the dressing table which didn't have a mirror or a chair/stool to sit on (we brought one upstairs from the kitchen). Weymouth and walking miles along the sea front, paddling in Sansfoot bay, was as always wonderful as always. Just so sad that many of the facilities were not functional due to the pandemic restrictions. We will be back, but not to Melanies.

“Have been using Dream Cottages for our annual Weymouth accommodation for many years and have never been disappointed.”

Melanie’s is in an excellent location and the fact that there had been extra cleaning made us feel safe on these unprecedented times. Just one thing - it would have been nice if the gas fire had been repaired so we could have a warm glow after a September evening out.

“We've stayed in Melanie's cottage several times over the years, lovely accommodation!”

Only a couple of things we found was the seating area out the front wasn't in great condition to sit outside, it was lovely weather for being out there. The only other thing was it was fairly hot & muggy during the night time so a use of a fan in each bedroom would benefit to circulate some air around. Other than that we thoroughly enjoyed Melanie's cottage & would highly recommend going there. Look forward to booking again! Thank you.

“A property with parking anywhere in Weymouth is a must, but to find a cottage in such a fantastic location is a real bonus, especially in such a buzzy location and in a gated environment.”

The property is small but adequate for 2 but for 4 especially adults may be tight especially round the table in the kitchen.

“We booked the 3rd week in August and to our surprise this was the week of the Weymouth Carnival, this contributed to the enjoyment of our vacation and will try again to select this week in 2017.”

We were blessed with absolutely amazing weather and really only used the holiday home for sleeping. There are so many fantastic restaurants situated in Weymouth that there is no need to waste time cooking yourself. This contemporary furnished and design holiday home is situated in the idullic, café culture of Brewers Quay and was spotlessly clean. The security of the complex takes away any stress of worrying about your posessions and car. My wife, son and I loved every second and shall return in 2017 with Dream Cottages - stayed August 2016

Mrs Pat Bennett

“Really lovey cottage, everything so convenient.”

Spotlessly clean. Loved it and intend to book again for next year.We have been coming to Weymouth every year since 1997 and always book via Dream Cottages. We have stayed in some lovely accommodation but the location of Melanie's cottage was fantastic, near to absolutely everything and great parking was a bonus. Stayed September 2016

“We really enjoyed our stay in Melanie's cottage which was welcoming and offered high standard of accommodation in an excellent location.”

We were also impressed by Dream Cottages. Booking was easy. A technical hitch with the house was dealt with swiftly and efficiently and had little to no impact on our holiday. Thank you. Stayed March 2016

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: Guests are required to bring their own cot linen.
