“We had a lovely week , the house was spotless, well equipped, & comfortable .”

we come to Weymouth twice a year & started staying in The maltings because the allocated parking is a god send & close to our favourite place Newtons cove & gardens , we would definitely stay here again , only issue was that the T.V signal was very bad , screen freezing & limited channels , retuning didn’t help , not really a issue in summer but winter time you tend not to go out in the evening , luckily We signed in the our Netflix , the welcome pack & milk in the fridge was a lovely touch

Location amazing for easy walk into town. Handy area to let the dogs have a run a few minutes from the property and the beach is all dog friendly out of season and both ours loved it. Booking again very soon

Neill September 2025

“Rockpools was a lovely place to stay.”

It was clean, comfortable and ideally situated. One of the biggest bonuses was having a designated parking space. The welcome booklet was very informative and helped us to navigate the area. We would definitely stay again.

- Neill, September 2025

Thanks for your lovely review, so glad you enjoyed your stay. Bridget Property Owner

Had a great stay if there was only one thing I could change it would have been fridge definitely not big enough and wasn’t very cold milk and food were going off after a couple of days it also leaked water over everything but I don’t want that to define the stay it was a great comfy house

Graham April 2025

“This is our Second visit to the house.”

Great location and lovely house. The only issue we could find fault with was the TV . Signal was poor at times . We had a leak from the toilet during our stay which was dealt with very quickly. We all certainly had a lovely holiday and will be back to Rockpools soon. Thank you.

- Graham, April 2025

Thanks for your lovely feedback. We have now sorted the TV signal with a new, longer Aux cable. Property Owner

Sally February 2025

“This is the 2nd time staying at rockpool as it’s in a great location just round the corner from the harbour and not to far for the town , it’s a great little house very clean and comfortable and well equipped the area has so much to see and do if your wanting to explore, I would recommend this special little property.”

- Sally, February 2025

Thanks for your lovely review Property Owner
Phil February 2025

“Good location to access town and walking routes.”

Property had all that we needed for the week. We took our dog so the stair gate that is installed ensured he did not venture upstairs. The property was in a quiet area, so virtually silent at night. A parking space was a bonus. The beds and duvets were adequate, but I am comparing this to our bedding at home which is the best.Overall it was a great holiday. The weather was better than we could have expected in February, dry all week but very cold winds. We walked every day, and the range of wildlife in the nearby nature reserves was impressive, if that interests you. We will return in the future.

- Phil, February 2025

Thank you for review. Duvet covers are from Dunelm and were new as we try to replace linen and towels often…. Sorry they didn’t meet your expectation. Looking forward to seeing you again Property Owner

Gemma September 2024

“We had such a lovely stay at Rockpools.”

The house is beautiful and in the perfect place to be able to explore Portland and Weymouth easily. Bridget and Alan went out of their way to sort the dishwasher which was broken, sourcing and fitting a new one on the second day of our holiday which was really appreciated.

- Gemma, September 2024

Thanks Gemma, it was lovely to meet you both and so pleased you had a lovely stay at Rockpools. Hope to see you again in the future. Property Owner
Stuart September 2024

“The property was good with a lovely back garden.”

Situated very close to town so ideal to explore Weymouth or visit the fort. My main complaint was that the rubbish bin under the sink was left full and overflowing. Also the dishwasher had been used but left for us to empty. I would still recommend this property to others

- Stuart, September 2024

Hi, thanks for your feedback and sorry this occurred. Our regular and brilliant cleaner was off sick and this must have been missed - apologies. Bridget Property Owner
Rachael August 2024

“A lovely property with everything one needs in a home from home holiday stay.”

It is fantastically situated to access all local amenities; green area for a quick dog walk, beach, shops, harbour, Weymouth town and only a short walk away from the lesser known (but idyllic) sandy beach of Castle Cove. We could not fault anything about this property and would 100% recommend a stay here. Thank you for the little gift basket that was provided on our arrival - tea, coffee, biscuits, jam, sparkling drink - it was much appreciated after our journey down. We shall certainly use Rockpools again for future visits to Weymouth. Rachael & Richard

- Rachael, August 2024
M K July 2024

Susan June 2024

“A great house in a great location.”

The beds were Comfortable and everywhere nicely decorated with everything you need and with lots of little extras that make a difference to your stay. Games, books, extra dishwasher tablets, washing powder, kitchen roll, hand soap things you normally have to go out and buy. I was a little worried by the fact that dogs were allowed but there was no sign that any had been there. Garden was great. Very small thing could do with some new pegs. Will definitely stay again if we come back.

- Susan, June 2024

Thanks for your lovely review and so pleased you enjoyed your stay….will get some more pegs in! Looking forward to welcoming you back in the future. Bridget Property Owner
Michael April 2024

“Rockpools is a lovely property, spotlessly clean and with everything you need.”

The location was perfect for us and our two little dogs, exercise area close by and some lovely walks. The garden was a sun trap when it did show its face, we visited lots of cafes and places to eat all within walking distance, as was the town and beach. I think you would be cramped with four adults as the lounge area is quite small and the two armchairs are not that comfy.

- Michael, April 2024

Hi thanks for your review and so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Based on your feedback we have replaced the two chairs in the lounge and look forward to welcoming you to Rockpools again. Bridget Property Owner
Neil November 2023

“This was our third year in a row for hiring this particular property.”

The location for our requirements with the dog(Bella) is excellent. Easy access to Newton's Cove & Nothe Gardens, town centre & beach within 10 minute walk. Shops bars restaurants all close by would suggest checking out Sandsfoot Castle beach usually quiet this time of the year lovely for the dog also. House is well kept clean & tidy located in a quiet Cul-de-sac. Just one thing we would like to suggest is that the changing of the chairs in the lounge wouldn't go a miss, the couch is comfortable but the chairs aren't. The previous two years the chairs were comfy. Overall we both think that you can't go wrong with hiring this house, yes probably will be back next year around the same time(November) quiet easy to access wherever you want to go..

- Neil, November 2023

Thanks for your lovely review, so pleased you enjoyed your stay. We have now replaced the chairs in the lounge. Hope to see you back in November. Bridget Property Owner

Absolutely love this house It's so clean and kept well One small niggle the neighbours don't like dogs and they make sure you know about it Crashing banging doors making our dogs bark But apart from this we had a fabulous holiday

- Gaynor, October 2023
Debbie October 2023

“Beds comfy and overall house was clean and tidy.”

A good location to walk down into Weymouth. Not so good were the following. The two beige chairs in the lounge were too big, low, soft and uncomfy, need replacing. Bin under sink was found smelly and a bit dirty. Four light bulbs in the lounge were broken and the clock in the kitchen stopped working on Wednesday morning. The shower screens, bathroom titles and ceiling needs a good deep clean as black mold around. No anti slip mat for the slippery shower tray. Main things was heating we found was turned off at the boiler. Noisy neighbours, to the left of house from the front, disruptive one night from 1am to 2.30am, then an ambulance was called. Obviously the neighbour situation is beyond owners control but sadly it would put us off using Rockpools holiday house again.

- Debbie, October 2023

Thanks for your review. In response to some of your feedback we had replaced the settee the week before you arrived and there was a delay on the chairs by a week so they have now been replaced, along with a much larger smart TV.. the extraction fan, causing the issue in the bathroom has also been fixed. Bathroom now all clean. Property Owner
Lynne September 2023

“Excellent cottage that completely suited our needs.”

Ian July 2023

“Lovely two-bedroom house within a five-minute walk of the harbour area of Weymouth.”

All facilities were available as listed. We really enjoyed our stay with our dog, who took advantage of the dog area on Weymouth beach which is available all-year-round. Highly recommended.

- Ian, July 2023

Thank you for your lovely feedback, so glad you enjoyed your holiday and your stay in our holiday home. Hope you book again. Bridget Property Owner

Linda April 2023

“This property is ideally situated to get to most places.”

5 min walk to the harbour, then over the bridge and into town and the beach in another 5 minutes. The cliff tops are also a short walk away with stunning views. The property was modern, clean, with all the facilities needed for a holiday. I have used Sykes before and will continue to use them. I thoroughly recommend Sykes and their cottages for an enjoyable holiday. Lovely weather enhanced the holiday even more.

- Linda, April 2023

Hi, thanks for your positive review and so pleased you had a great time. Bridget Property Owner

Ian December 2022

“Lovely property in a great location, we have rented many properties in and around Brewers Quay over the years and this is up there with the better ones however , we did look at re booking for next Christmas but note that the price for a week has increased by £470 so , needless to say we will not be re booking this property, which is a shame.”

- Ian, December 2022

As owners we have responded to your feedback and are now looking forward to welcoming you back at Christmas Property Owner
Neil November 2022

“This was the second year we've had this property & it didn't disappoint like last year.”

As we bring our dog (Bella) with us it's in the perfect location. The property is well looked after clean & tidy. The property is within easy walking distance to access the town & beach or explore the Nothe gardens plus coastal pathways out towards Portland. Comfort was only marked down as we didn't find the mattress very comfy; we fully understand though that you can't cater for everyone in this department.

- Neil, November 2022

Thank you for you nice comments and glad you had such an enjoyable stay. Sorry you didn’t find the mattress that comfortable, we do however have many compliments on how comfortable the bed is. We do hope you come back. Bridget Property Owner

Excellent property one of the best we have stayed in considering we have used you for 11 year’s Beautiful welcome pack we never get any where else cleanliness is spot on only problem bathroom door handle needs attention it’s very stiff and could break at anytime and someone could get stuck in there All we say is roll on may 23 for our next stay Thank you to the owners of Rockpools beautiful house

- Gaynor, October 2022

Hi thanks for your kind words and glad you enjoyed your stay with us. We’ll be looking at the bathroom door handle to ensure it’s fixed. Hope you come again in 2023. Bridget Property Owner
Paul October 2022

“Excellent location, Having a car park space is wonderful.”

Only two of us stayed in the 2 bed terraced. Way too small for 4 people. The rear garden needs attention, It clearly has been neglected for a while. All in All, because of the property’s location, we would stay at Rockpools again. Overall 8/10.

- Paul, October 2022

Thanks for your comments and pleased you had a lovely stay. We have booked time out at the end of November, after our busy season to do the back patio, and the steps. Unfortunately we can’t do those big repairs during the peak time. We put a fence in last year and updated our property- each year we try to do things to improve it. Hope you return next year. Bridget Property Owner
Ann October 2022

“The parking was easy.”

Lots of walks from the property to shops and beach. Plenty of things to see and do without using the car. Comfortable bed. Steps on garen path were a bit slippery when wet. Very nice holiday.We did like the complimentary biscuits that was left with the welcome pack.

- Ann, October 2022

Thanks for your kind comments and glad you had a comfortable stay with us. The steps are being replaced next weekend so should be an improvement for your next stay with us. Hope to welcome you back son. Bridget and Alan Property Owner
Colin September 2022

“We have visited this cottage regularly over the years and as always we have been pleased with the accommodation provided and its cleanliness.”

The only improvement that could be made would be to sort out the lack of television and radio stations that seem to be available on the current television.

- Colin, September 2022

Thanks for your comments and pleased you enjoyed your stay. This year we added a smart TV which has free view channels but also has the ability to add your own streaming accounts such as Netflix, prime etc. There is also a DAB radio in the kitchen. Hope to see you again soon. Bridget Property Owner

Lorna August 2022

The house is really comfortable, the bathroom is lovely, my only criticism would be it would be great to have a extra small towel each to use for our hair when showering.

- Lorna, August 2022

Thanks for your comments and so pleased you enjoyed your stay. We have now added an extra hand towel for each person staying, thanks for your valuable feedback. Hope you come back soon. Bridget Property Owner

Great location.clean and tidy.only one point would perfer a slip matt on the shower has we are a bit older than some people found it a bit slippery.

- Neil, November 2021

Nicholas November 2021

“We were disappointed that there was a lot of dust about on many surfaces in the bedrooms and the living room.”

The beds were very comfortable and the facilities are excellent, particularly the bathroom. The location is ideal as it is within walking distance of the town centre where there are many shops and restaurants. Just one suggestion - we bought fresh fish from Weyfish by the harbour but we couldn’t find a fish slice in the kitchen and the frying pan is so warped that it doesn’t sit flat on the hob.

- Nicholas, November 2021

Hi Nicholas, thank you for your feedback and I am sorry you found the cleaning due to dust not up to standard. I will feed this back to our cleaner to ensure we keep to our high standard of cleanliness. Also happy to purchase a fish slice and a new frying pan - I do replace it each year but we have been fully booked since Spring and not had a chance to do our annual deep clean and check all our equipment. Glad you had a nice holiday and hope you come back and stay sometime in the future. Bridget Property Owner

First time booking house great location Furniture needs improving as uncomfortable n very low to the ground Cleanliness could be improved as it’s not very clean inside I rubbed my hand down the banister and my hand was covered in dust

- Gaynor, October 2021
Linda October 2021

“We had a lovely stay, the property is well equipped & is the perfect size for two adults but can accommodate another two people.”

The proximity to everything was perfect for us. We would walk to the harbour & main beach every day with the dogs, around 30 mins steady walk passing Nothe Fort on route. The sea is literally around the corner from the property. The walk that leads from there was beautiful and great if you like taking photos. Perfect location. We would happily stay there again.

The property

Rockpools is a modern, contemporary two bedroomed terraced house with an allocated parking space in the highly sought after Maltings area - an ideal holiday base for Weymouth's harbour, beach and the South West Coast Path.

Refurbished in Winter 2020.

Rockpools now has a new bathroom with walk in shower, freshly painted rooms, new curtains, new flooring and carpets throughout, a smart TV and superfast broadband WiFi.

Once inside this light and airy home you will feel instantly at ease, spending time relaxing with your family.

Enjoy cooking and eating meals together in the contemporary kitchen and dining area and with two bright and comfortable bedrooms upstairs, this really is the ideal place for your family to holiday.

Rockpools offers a sunny, enclosed garden, with new fencing - making it lovely and private.

Reclining chairs, two sun loungers, a BBQ, storage shed for wetsuits and bikes, a hose to wash off dirty boots and wetsuits means you will have everything you need for a perfect stay.

Situated in the popular Maltings development, Rockpools is only two minutes' walk to a green pet exercise area and Newton's Cove, walk around the cove and onto Nothe Gardens. A few minutes from the property is the Rodwell trail, a great flat, off road pedestrian/cycle path reaching from Weymouth to Portland. Weymouth's main sandy beach is about a 10 minute walk away where there is golden sand (great for building sandcastles) and shallow safe clean water. Everything about Rockpools and its location make it the perfect place for you and your family to stay in Weymouth.
