“The house was perfect for a family holiday, great location, warm & comfortable.”

The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans to cook for a large group. The Christmas decorations were lovely and it was such a treat to have a real tree. Thank you, we will be back.

“Thoroughly enjoyable break - beautiful house, lovely hosts and great location”
Mrs Monahan September 2019

“Rowington is a beautiful house with a lovely garden in a great location.”

The house was perfect for our family group of seven adults, it was spotlessly clean and furnished to a high standard. Ann the owner was very welcoming, friendly and happy to help with advise and recommendations for the local area. We were slightly concerned about parking as it was on street but we needn’t have worried as there were plenty of spaces. We would definitely return to Rowington.
Mrs Warren August 2019

“The house was amazing there is everything you need for a week or two with the whole family.”

The house is spacious and spotlessly clean. The welcome pack and meeting the owner were just two of the personal touches which made all the difference. Parking was easy and the garden was an extra bonus which the kids enjoyed very much. We loved the holiday so much that we booked again for next year as soon as we returned.
Mrs Lisney August 2019

“Great house perfect location we had a lovely holiday”
Mr Fuller July 2019

“Rowington is a fabulous base for a family holiday.”

Deeply comfortable, well equipped, a lovely house with a gorgeous garden in a quiet street with walking from the door straight out onto the Coast Path or into town. Sun loungers were well-used for reading and snoozing in the garden! Weymouth is a delight, we explored its busy harbour, sandy and rocky beaches and small local parks. Lovely surrounding area great for walking, cycling. Roads are quiet and it's easy to get around.

“Absolutely perfect family home-from-home”

We had a wonderful week at Rowington and would certainly recommend it. There were six of us, and our dog, and we had loads of space plus everything we needed. The house is beautiful inside and out, with a lovely garden and all the facilities you need. Five minutes from the coastal path, ten minutes from the harbour and a short drive from places such as West Bay (where Broadchurch was filmed). One place we would highly recommend is The Smugglers Inn at Osmington Mills. About 15 minutes by car, it’s a picture-perfect pub that welcomes families and dogs. Great value and high-quality food, lovely gardens and stunning views.
Mrs Keattch April 2019

“The welcome package from the owners was a very nice touch.”

Leaving cleaning products, washing capsules, soap and milk was also very thoughtful. The well kept garden with nice furniture added to the great experiance. Towels were large and of lovely quality. Great location for our dogs.

“A beautiful large house in a perfect location.”

A beautiful spacious house situated in a quiet road and just a few minutes walk from the beach and all amenities. A large well equipped kitchen perfect for dinner parties and great for families. The 2 large sitting rooms worked really well so that we used 1 for a quiet space when needed. Very helpful and friendly owners. Will definately return.

“Wonderful home, great for families!”

A really spacious house with a beautiful garden. Great place for families or large groups. We especially liked our welcome hamper. Host greeted us upon arrival, which was a nice touch. Very clean and close to town and beach. Dog-friendly too - a real bonus! Really enjoyed our stay here, can't wait to visit again this in the summer!

“Our best rental in Weymouth”

We stayed at Rowington in July 2018. The property was beautifully presented and a lovely welcome pack with items for both us and our dog. Every room was immaculate, with plenty of facilities and a large garden to relax in.Parking outside was always easy and the property is within a 10 minute leisurely walk to the town centre.In my opinion the best rental we have stayed at in Weymouth and surrounding area. Would highly recommend.

“Beautiful family home!”

We booked the house for a family gathering and had a brilliant stay. It was excellently presented and decorated. Perfect location, a short walk from the beach and town centre. The booking process was smooth and the host was lovely. Very spacious house for a large group and it was nice to have the 2 sitting rooms. Would definitely stay again and thoroughly recommend the house.
Sazziejayne January 2019

“Wonderful house, beautifully presented and maintained!”

We had a fantastic stay in this wonderful house! It is beautifully presented, inside and out, and the location is perfect for walks into Weymouth and elsewhere. The house is stylish and cosy, and is furnished with everything you might need for a self catering stay, and more. The garden too, is stunning - I can't recommend Rowington highly enough.
Mrs Ambrose

“We have had a fantastic stay, thank you for our wonderful hamper which included all the things needed for a welcoming arrival, even including things for the dog.”

The cleanliness and comfort made it all in all a magnificent stay. Thank you for a lovely stay - stayed June 2016
Mr Stephenson

“As regular Dream Cottage customers, having stayed in various properties, Rowington did not disappoint.”

Fantastic week, property was very well equipped, comfortable bedrooms and en-suites. Enjoyed the lovely garden very much and made good use of the games supplied. Great location and managed to find 3 parking spaces directly outside the house. The 'welcome pack' was a nice surprise and a lovely touch. We would have no hesitation in recommending or returning ourselves. Stayed July 2015
Mrs Jan O'Rourke

“Beautiful house and garden.”

Superb facilities. Welcome basket a real treat. Loved our stay. Thanks! Stayed September 2015
Mrs Naomi Powell

“Fantastic holiday, fabulous welcome to the property, sapcious, clean, everything you could want from a holiday home, a dream cottage.”

Stayed August 2015
Mrs Bass

“Rowington was simply perfect.”

Set in a beautiful part of town, down a very quiet street. 10 mins walk and we were at Brewers Quay. We had a dog with us and the area was perfect for early morning walks and the garden at Rowington was spacious too. We were so impressed with the whole property and the welcome hamper was the icing on the cake. Thank you. Stayed August 2015
Mrs Jacki Collins

“The house was well equipped and every every small detail thought off; hair dryers in every room and even two large umbrellas which unfortunately we did have to use a couple of times!”

The two living rooms, both with large TVs, were a bonus as we had a great variety of ages in our group. The garden is wonderful and ideal for those with for young families. The house was very well placed; the town centre within easy walking distance for reasonably fit people. We will be recommending it to friends. Stayed August 2015
Mrs Clarke

“Rowington is a truly delightful home in which to spend a holiday in Weymouth.”

It is spacious, very well cared for and provides everything necessary for comfort and enjoyment.The location is perfect for the local attractions; Brewers Quay, Harbour, Weymouth beach, Nothe Forte and Gardens with an excellent dog excercise area and stone pier for safe fishing and crabbing, Sky tower, Sea life Centre, Sand Art, Fair, Amusements and endless eating places. Supermarkets and shops are also plentiful and within walking distance. We only used the cars once during our stay when we decided to travel further afield to visit Longleat. (Dogs are not allowed here but can be kennelled free of charge on site). The garden at Rowington is superb and completely secure for even the smallest dogs. I would have no hesitation in recommending this lovely home. Stayed October 2015
Miss Hinton

“The property was exactly as described with no nasty surprises!”

A very clean and well-maintained property; we have no criticisms and enjoyed our stay very much. Lovely welcome hamper :) Stayed Dec/Jan 2015
Mr Chris Morris

“We were very happy with the property and the service we received from Dream Cottages.”

First impressions on arrival, house and garden all beautifully presented, spacious accommodation and a thoughtful welcome pack. All made for a great first impression. Our week here has been excellent, it worked perfectly for everyone and a lovely safe environment for the children, especially the garden. Lots to do nearby, good weather (apart from one very wet day) and, for us the immense benefit of keeping the young ones connected with family connections in Weymouth and Portland. We cannot recommend 'Rowington' highly enough, first class! Thank you – stayed August 2016. The property was exactly as described and perfect for our family holiday; very roomy, spotlessly clean and ideally located. Stayed August 2016
Mrs Claud Luetzeler

“We can't really express it any better that it was already said, what a wonderful house in which we spent a fantastic week, we felt at home immediately.”

Our friends (from Saxony) enjoyed their first time in England very much, with nice walks along the coast paths, strolls around Weymouth, sunny weather, fish and chips and everything that makes us (The Luetzeler's) always come back. Thanks for everything – stayed July 2016
Miss Sue Shirley

“We had looked forward so much to our holiday at Rowington and we were not disappointed.”

The house was absolutely lovely and the garden a pleasure to relax in. Will be booking for next year once my son's factory "shut down" has been confirmed. There was nothing at all to complain about - perfect - stayed June 2017
Mr John Murray-Hawkins

“Beautiful, spacious and clean house!”

Welcome hamper – lovely personal touch. We had a fantastic week – very lucky with the weather. My Son especially enjoyed the table tennis in the garage and we all enjoyed the beautiful back garden. We have stayed in many “Dream Cottages” but this is the bet – stayed August 2016
Mr Hunt

“Many thanks for the use of Rowington – it has been great.”

The welcome pack really was appreciated because this isn't provided by many people anymore. The garden has been wonderful for Smudge, he loved exploring. May sound daft but the high quality towels are also appreciated, again not many people provide these of this quality anymore. Overall it's been brilliant – even with the weather! We have visited Weymouth on many occasions always staying in 'Dream Cottages' without doubt this does to the top of the list for future visits - stayed August 2016
Mrs Kate Pengelly

“Beautiful and spacious property.”

Kind and welcoming owners. Great location. Stayed October 2016
Mrs Sally Hyde

“This was a beautiful well maintained and equipped property to stay in, it was a lovely gesture of the welcome basket and a call from the owners.”

We had a lovely holiday. Stayed March 2017
Mrs Sonia Jordan

“Loved our stay in Rowington.”

Perfect location, beautiful house and lovely weather. Best Dream Cottage we have stayed in, would definitely book to stay again. Easy reach to town centre, harbour, beach, beer, pubs and clubs but also surrounded by some lovely walks down the Rodwell trail and Sandsfoot Castle. Lovely garden, hopefully Mum will let us bring the dog next time. Thank you for the lovely welcome and perfect stay - stayed March 2017
Mrs Susan Davis

“This was a lovely house, great garden, good position, and very good for 4 artists.”

The owners were excellent at sorting out any problems. Stayed April 2017
Mr Martin

“Beautiful spacious property with a fantastic garden.”

Lovely area of Weymouth. Stayed June 2017
Mr Chris Morris

“Very efficient service from Dream Cottages.”

Any queries answered promptly and courteously and a simple, faultless booking service. 'Rowington' is a fabulous property. Edwardian style, really well presented and maintained. Great for a family - lots of space and a lovely garden in which children can safely play and adults can just relax. We have no hesitation in recommending 'Rowington' - just let us book our third stay before you book yours! Stayed August 2017
Mrs Sally Eaves

“Had a great time with my family here.”

Beautiful family house. Plenty of room and amenities. Not far from town and the beach. Nice quiet road. Grandchildren loved it. One of the best holiday homes we have ever rented! Loved the table tennis. Thank you for the goody basket it went down very well especially the bunnies and wine. Sadly, we didn't get to use the crabbing gear so we'll have to do that next time! Very sad to be leaving thanks for a lovely stay.- Stayed April 2017.
Mr Peter Button

“As usual, we have had a great time, re-discovering our favourite haunts in this part of Dorset, despite the weather!”

Thank you for the warmth – not just the turned-up thermostat on the heating but also the very welcome 'Welcome Pack' and the tastefully decorated and comfortable rooms. There's plenty of space to relax, with two sitting rooms, allowing our 'children' to plan for the next half term, us to watch the Olympics and catch up on news. Further entertainment of board games presented us with fun evenings and I'm sure we should have used the table tennis table if the weather had been finer )for us to venture into the back garden!). We've added a Murder Mystery to your games collection – always a good family laugh for grown-ups! The house is very well situated and the parking is great. We found everything we needed at Rowington – the tumble dryer and washing machine were very beneficial – a dream cottage to be recommended! Hopefully we shall return. Stayed February 2018.
Mrs MacCallum

“After a family crisis at the beginning of the holiday, it all settled down and we enjoyed every moment at the house and the weather was perfect.”

Had some magnificent meals out and visited all our old haunts. Dorset is a wonderful county and we all fell in love with the house which was perfect. Stayed June 2018
Miss Sarah Griffiths

“We had a fantastic stay at Rowington - the house is beautifully presented and is clearly much loved by the owners.”

Its spaciousness and gorgeous garden made it ideal for our extended family holiday. Thank you also to the Dream Cottages team, who were very helpful in advising us on arrangements (cot and high chair) for my little niece. She had a whale of a time, and loved the garden!

About the location

WEYMOUTH

Dorchester 7 miles; Bridport 17 miles.

The popular resort of Weymouth makes an outstanding year-round holiday destination, with a wide variety of attractions on offer, appealing to all tastes and ages. The glorious golden sandy beaches have excellent facilities for all kinds of watersports, whilst from the picturesque, bustling harbour you can take regular fishing trips. A short drive takes you to Portland Harbour, and the rugged “Isle” of Portland, linked to Weymouth by the dramatic Chesil Beach. 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. Alternatively, just head down to West Bay - the views of the stunning Dorset Heritage Coastline are not to be missed!
