“We have stayed in Oyster Cottage several times and each time it gets a little shabbier.”

The blinds don’t work and are broken across the slats in the kitchen. The cutlery is mismatched, and we wanted a basic butter dish but there wasn’t one. The windows rattle and I appreciate it may not be possible for them to be replaced but maybe secondary glazing? The bathroom is tired and has black mould on the tiles and shower The mat for in the shower/bath is disgustingly dirty, mouldy and discoloured. Entry was after 5 pm, why? The cleaning was poor and lipstick stained cotton wool ...

The bathroom is tired and has black mould on the tiles and shower The mat for in the shower/bath is disgustingly dirty, mouldy and discoloured. Entry was after 5 pm, why? The cleaning was poor and lipstick stained cotton wool still on the floor. We probably won’t be back next year as prices are far too high for this standard of accommodation. Why have prices increased so much? This is a real shame as the cottage rooms and location suited us perfectly. Is it coincidence that standards are lower since Dream Cottages has been taken over by Sykes? However we still had a good time as we love Weymouth.

“We always find the staff at Dream Cottages very helpful and the office is well located for staying in the Weymouth area.”

“No t.v in the master bedroom as advertised in the photos.”

Also no dvd player in the house They don't leave any milk in the fridge for arrival nor tea bags or sugar, salt, pepper. Literally very minimal dishwasher tablets and soap. No hand towels in the kitchen. I Would not stay at this cottage again for these reasons. A few little touches would have made all the difference

“The cottage needed updating in a number of areas as follows cracked tiles in kitchen shower cubicle needs renewing Window sills and windows on upper floor need replacement In other words the cottage needs a general refurbishment.”

- Mr Bishop, June 2021
Mrs Powell June 2021

“Fabulous location.”

Very comfortable cottage with all facilities that you need. It was great to have mirrors in each room and a bathroom on each floor. Plenty of room for 6 adults to enjoy a stay. The parking space was a real plus. Will definitely return.

“We had a great stay - the cottage had been cleaned really well before our arrival and we could not fault it.”

Mrs Heath June 2021

“Had a wonderful holiday in Oyster cottage.”

Was very clean and had everything in it that you needed, and was in prime position for the harbour. Will definitely book again.

“Beautiful cottage, best we’ve stayed in.”

Perfect location, good quality facilities. Only disappointment was that we’d been told about a deep clean due to Covid. So many things (food left on top of fridge, fork under the bed, no soap in downstairs toilet) clearly a speedy sweep before we arrived. Having said that it won’t stop us booking again. But worrying in today’s times

“The best thing about the cottage is its location.”

A few steps and you are at the harbour, a short walk brings you to shops and the beach. You can also access the Nothe fort area which is lovely and peaceful. We found the cottage comfortable, nice and cool in the heat, and well equipped with everything we needed. We even loved the teeny tiny patio where we could sit out and have a drink / meal (just the two of us - no kids allowed!)

“Great cottage in a great location - will book again!”

Mrs Smith August 2019

“The cottage looked very good when walking through the door.”

Upstairs was good except the bedside cabinet in the large front room, my small grandson walked passed it and the drawer shot out and hit him on the head, it shot out many times during the week, this was due to the sloping floor which I can accept but the bed side cabinet and other furniture could have been leveled. The sitting room carpet was filthy, sand was ingrained into the carpet, it had obviously not been hoovered properly, we know this because when we tried to hoover it the vacuum cleaner was full to the top and stunk, we had to put a new bag in. When we emptied the rubbish bag from the kitchen, we followed the instructions in the owners book and tried to put it into the rubbish bin in the shed, this was full to the top and too heavy to lift out, so we emptied our rubbish in public bins outside the Old Rooms Inn throughout our holiday. We have booked with Dream Cottages for many years with few problems, your standards have definitely slipped, I hope this was just a one off situation. I look forward to hearing from you about this.

“We stayed at Oyster Cottage, 3 Cove Street, Weymouth.”

The cottage is excellent and in a brilliant location and this was our second stay there. There are two slight negatives, which we did not mention last time. One is that the bath is poorly designed with an overflow which doesn't work. We stayed in the property in 2018 and the bath leaked then into the kitchen below if the water level went higher than the overflow, which doubles as the plug release and is loose in its holder. The seal looked the same this year, so we did not use it. Secondly, the wifi signal in the cottage is very poor. With three children and a few rainy days, this was more noticeable in this holiday. It looks like there is not an exclusively designated wifi router in the cottage, but a booster, which suggests that more than one property is sharing the same wifi signal. Otherwise, all good. Many thanks.

“This was our third Christmas stay and our second stay in Oyster Cottage.”

We love Oyster Cottage, it is so cosy and comfortable and has everything we could want. At that time of the year cooking plays a big part in our holiday and therefore we were pleased last year to find such a lovely and well equipped kitchen. I am sure we shall be back!!

- Mrs Gilmore, Feb 2015
Ms Massey Aug 2014

“Lovely cottage in a fabulous location.”

It helps to be able to take a virtual tour prior to booking and the cottage lived up to my expectations. If I had to nitpick (and it is nitpicking) the only extra thing I could have wanted was a more user friendly outdoor space, but this minor detail would not prevent me from booking the cottage again, or recommending it to someone else. I didn't need to call upon your service whilst I was there, but it was comforting to know that you were on the doorstep. This was most probably our last family holiday and i couldn't have wished for a better experience.
