    “Beds were very hard not comfortable.”

    Memory foam mattresses would be better. A few marks on sofas. Damp on bathroom wall. Bath was not that clean needs grouting on edges to be cleaned or redone. Microwave grimy inside and there is a smell from it Mildew on blinds on top of stairs, and starting to get mildew or damp on blinds in bedrooms. Outside the property the window sills need repainting as the paint is flaking off, upstairs windows etc.

    Thank you for your feedback. Sorry to hear there were elements of the building which were less than satisfactory. We will go and check the cleaning issues, immediately, as they are new to us and have not been highlighted in previous excellent feedback. They fall short of standards we would expect. Windowsill maintenance is in the diary, once the dryer weather arrives. I hope you managed to enjoy your Spring stay and to see some of beautiful Weymouth and the stunning Dorset area. UPDATE:-we have realised that the enormous electric bill we received was the previous client to you, who was there on and off over winter, for 4 weeks, running the cottage as a kitchen or laundry and the ensuing condensation has made its mark on the blinds and walls. The oven was obviously warming the cottage, but the normal cosy gas central heating is meant to do that but our heating record showed it was not used, presumably because the temperature inside was high from intense oven use. In June, we will be removing the double-glazing, therefore allowing ease of access to windows. Double-glazing can be removed and stored easily anytime. We are also now in touch with the company who made the blinds, so they can be replaced. Property Owner

The property

Pixie Cottage is a pretty terraced property in Weymouth within minutes of the harbour. Cosy, comfortable and full of character, Pixie is a great base for a holiday on the Dorset coast.

On the ground floor, the open plan layout offers space for cooking, dining and relaxing.

You will also find the bathroom on the ground floor.

Pixie Cottage is aptly named: whilst it is small, it contains everything you need for a comfortable stay in Weymouth. Outside, there is a tiny but charming courtyard (as shown in photos) with a bistro table and chairs - giving guests a sunny spot just big enough to sit and enjoy a morning cup of coffee or an evening glass of wine. Just a few minutes' walk from the cottage is Brewers Quay and Hope Square, a lovely spot for an alfresco lunch when the sun is shining or a warming drink in the pub when the weather’s colder. Equally close is Weymouth’s historic old harbour where visiting yachts sail by and fishing boats can be seen returning with their catch.

Fresh crabs are a local speciality. A five-minute stroll over the town bridge leads to the town centre, with a good range of shops, restaurants and pubs.

Also nearby is Weymouth’s famous beach, with its golden sands and clear, shallow waters - perfect for a fun day building sandcastles, sunbathing and swimming. The Sea Life Centre, Monkey World and the Tank Museum are all within easy reach for those wanting a day out.

Weymouth also sits on the South West Coastal Path, giving visitors many options for beautiful walks along the dramatic Jurassic coastline.

Pixie Cottage would ideally suit a couple or young family looking for a happy holiday in the heart of Weymouth.

Visit Dorchester, Thomas Hardy’s “Casterbridge”, only 7 miles away, or take a journey along the scenic coastal road and call in at Abbotsbury Swannery and Subtropical Gardens.
