“We really enjoyed our stay and facilities were great, very clean and everything you needed for a week away.”

It was very easy to get a taxi into Weymouth and the bars and restaurants were great. Only criticism is we choose the venue as it was close to a pub and the pub had unfortunately closed down for good and the shop never opened while we were there. There was a less pretty pub approx 10 min walk but not a great outside space and didn't provide food.

“Lovely cottage we enjoyed our stay.”

Some small criticisms which would improve the experience Inside the cottage was clean and well equipped but some of the curtains need replacement. The rear steps and area to the garden were rather scruffy and need cleaning and sweeping regular. More should be made of this area with sprucing up and some seating as it’s quite a distance to the picnic bench at the end of the garden. Maybe a simple small folding table and chairs in the courtyard parking area where it’s sunny and easy access to the kitchen would be a benefit as again a long way to the picnic bench. Restrict access to the roof from the rear steps which is quite dangerous for inquisitive dogs. Main and pedestrian gates need attention as the lock hardware I don’t line up properly. Other than these minor criticisms the cottage works well and we enjoyed our stay.

“The cleanliness wasn't too good, dog hairs on sofa cushions and floor.”

Toilets not too clean. The pantry was lovely to have but not very useful cooking utensils in there, only one giant saucepan or one small pan, no colander for draining either. Only one baking tray. The place was lovely but we really should have been told about the social club across the road where very noisy people came out at 12 30am on Fridays and Saturdays especially. The house isn't really suitable for disabled either with small steps everywhere and very low to the ground beds which were hard to get out of. The garden is also pretty inaccessible. Apart from this we did enjoy our time there and made do. The welcome pack was very thoughtful.

“This property deserves 5 stars in terms of space, character and how well equipped it is.”

The one thing I feel let it down is the poor quality of the mattress in the main bedroom- this is lumpy and dreadfully squashed out of shape and resulted in me having to decamp to the single room in order to try to be able to sleep as it felt like I was trying to sleep in a pit.

“Really enjoyed our stay at Myrtle cottage, it was very comfortable and had great facilities.”

I need to commend the owner on allowing 3 dogs as we have two dogs and friends have one so this allows us to have a holiday together, which was great. The off street parking and enclosed garden were such a bonus. Definitely recommend this cottage

“We had an absolute amazing Christmas in this house, the place was SPOTLESS when we arrived!”

The dogs loved the house just as much as the humans did, the house was always so warm and cosy! Garden was gorgeous too, my small dog did get onto the extension roof at one point, luckily got him off quickly (he loves to climb so he took his opportunity)! So I'd advise to supervise your dog in the upper garden, the main tv had some cracks or marks on and the black bin outside was very small especially for a family of five for a week! Other then that we had a 10/10 stay! Thank you very much!

“We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely old cottage and the photographs don’t do it justice, it’s much nicer in reality.”

We loved discovering the history of the places around there and walking in the footsteps of the Romans and Neolithic peoples. There is so much to see and do. We were very lucky with the sunny weather in October and watched some fabulous sunsets from Portland Bill. We also found that the cottage was once part of the old national school site. Wyke Regis and Myrtle cottage are lovely and I would highly recommend them. https://www.wykeregismemorialhall.org.uk/history/

“The cottage itself is quirky and charming, and the open plan kitchen/dining/sitting room is wonderful entertaining space.”

The cottage is well placed for days out around Dorset, but be aware that the walk into Weymouth is very hilly and not for the faint hearted. In general the cottage was clean and well presented, BUT there were a few small issues that tainted our stay. There was an issue with the cleanliness of the downstairs bathroom and the cooker was not clean. Although there was plenty of pans etc in the walk in pantry, nothing large enough to cook for a family of 4 adults. Also we needed to clean baking trays before use and one pan in particular still had cooked pasta stuck to the bottom from a previous occupant. Additionally, half of the glass pint and half pint glasses were chipped. Finally, all previous cottages we have rented from Sykes have had ( as a minimum) complementary coffee/tea on arrival, which this rental didn’t, meaning our late arrival time left us without a cuppa until the next day when we found a shop (bear that in mind when booking and bring your own).

“The photo's do not do the property justice.”

There is so much space for everyone to spread out (even for the dogs) and whilst the garden is hilly (set out over layers which is not ideal for everyone) the inside especially downstairs) is massive. We found ourselves enjoying the family room in particular. And there is enough parking for 3 vehicles (off road) which is a massive bonus for this property. In all there is nothing not to like and we would recommend this property to anyone going to Weymouth and we would definitely like to go back again.

“The cottage is wonderful, spacious and charming.”

The sofa and cushions in the lounge diner smelt quite “doggy” which could easily be remedied I’m sure. Although the master bedroom is quite big, the double bed is quite small. A kingsize or superking would be perfect. Overall it’s a lovely property and we would definitely go back if we needed to stay in that area again.

Julie September 2020

“We felt priviliged to stay in such a lovely listed cottage.”

We had a great time and the cottage was bigger than we expected. It is very quirky in that the floors upstairs were sloping to the middle of the house which was very funny when you walk into the bedrooms, but it was part of its history . We would recommend this cottage for a great holiday.

- Julie, September 2020
Paul September 2020

“The impression was given that the property is situated in a village.”

It is actually in a suburb of Weymouth. Otherwise the cottage would have been perfect.

David September 2019

“Our holiday at Myrtle Cottage was extremely convenient to the area we wanted to explore - only 3 mins from Weymouth.”

plenty of pubs/fish and chips/ Chinese etc. and food shops. On arrival, the house keeper was running late due to white dog hairs all over the place.She was very apologetic and asked us in anyway while she finished her chores. We felt very sorry for her and told her not to worry too much. I think the people renting the week before us should be contacted and made aware of situation. It was not fair the cleaners should be clearing up that sort of mess. Would like to mention - The TV in the main lounge was difficult to access sometimes in bad weather - and we found that a large Rosemary bush outside was hampering the SKY box. Not a problem for us as there was a second TV not affected by this. Overall, a really lovey relaxing week in a beautiful cottage with all amenities at hand. Thank you!! No need to publish the negative bits!!

“Needs a no parking sign on the gate.”

A few issues with builders in the area

Ann June 2019

“Really well equipped cottage but the mattresses really need changing 2 were hard and the other sinks to one side also a strip of yellow tape along the step down from kitchen to sitting area would help although you mentioned it in your information I think it would be wise to highlight it otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday.”

About the location

WYKE REGIS

Weymouth 2 miles; Dorchester 9 miles.

Wyke Regis is a village on the south western side of Weymouth that sits on the northern edges of Portland Harbour and reaches as far as the back of Chesil beach and The Fleet, just two miles from the centre of Weymouth. There are local shops, cafés and restaurants including the famous Crab House café, with it’s own oyster beds on the doorstep. The National Sailing School, an Olympic legacy, offers a wide variety of water sports and is just two miles away on the edge of Portland Harbour. The Fleet Lagoon that runs between Wyke Regis and Chesil beach is an important area for wildlife and there are many species of birds to be seen in the area, whilst Chesil beach is also a renowned spot for fishing. The Fleet is probably most famous for being the testing ground for Barnes Wallis’s bouncing bomb, immortalised in the film the Dam Busters. Wyke Regis is the perfect location from which to explore many of Dorset’s most iconic locations on the Jurassic Coast.
