Guests say
Cove Street Cottage in Weymouth is highly praised for its excellent location, quality decor, and comprehensive amenities. Guests appreciate the proximity to local attractions and the harbour, as well as the well-maintained and fully equipped property. Some concerns were raised about the warmth in the main bedroom and a cleaning oversight prior to arrival, but overall, the property is recommended for a delightful stay.
The property generally maintains good standards of cleanliness, though there was an instance where it was not cleaned to expectations before a guest's arrival. This seems to be an isolated incident rather than a common issue.
The cottage's location is consistently lauded, with guests loving its proximity to Brewers Quay, local shops, cafes, and the seafront. The charm of the harbour area adds to the appeal.
Guests find the property comfortable, but there have been comments about the main bedroom being very warm, suggesting that the inclusion of fans could enhance comfort during sleep.
The property is well-equipped with appliances and utensils, and guests are impressed with the quality provided. However, there was a mention of a lack of mirrors in bedrooms, which could be improved.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the owner, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.
About this property
Resting centrally in the bustling resort of Weymouth, Dorset, is Cove Street Cottage, a fabulous, three-storey home. Just paces away from the beach, harbour, and a hub of amenities and attractions, Cove Street Cottage offers the ideal base for a family seascape, benefitting from flexible sleeping arrangements, and a private, decked terrace. Park up in a nearby public car park and travel a short distance on foot to reach the entrance of the home. Start off your getaway in the living/dining room, where you can rest after a day of travelling or adventure upon the plush sofas, with the TV on in the backdrop, before heading into the kitchen to prepare delicious meals.
The kitchen is well-equipped for a self-catered stay, with the convenience of a washing machine and dishwasher. Gather around the dining table, or head up to the first floor, enclosed terrace, a delightful suntrap, designed with alfresco dining in mind. As the sun sets over Weymouth, select between two well-appointed bedrooms, including a twin, and a second-floor king-size, both serviced by a bathroom. Awaken to a coffee on the terrace, whilst planning your coming days, starting off with a stroll around the harbour, brimming with shops, eateries, and renowned landmarks to tour; grab some breakfast at The Nothe Café, make reservations for The George Bar & Grill, or stock up on the essentials to fill the fridge.
Once you're refuelled, embark on a tour of Nothe Fort, brush up on your local knowledge at Weymouth Museum, stroll along the beach, stopping off at Alexandra Gardens amusements, or feel at one with nature by strolling through either RSPB Radipole Lake or RSPB Lodmoor. The breath-taking Chesil Beach is within proximity, resting in Dorset AONB, spanning across 18 miles of shingle and sandy terrain, or if you'd prefer a day of sightseeing, visit Dorchester with the chance to explore the Dorset Museum, the Dorset Teddy Bear Museum, National Trust - Max Gate, and the family favourite of Kingston Maurward Animal Park and Gardens.
Round off your break in Bridport, enjoying strolls alongside River Brit and a day of history at the museum, returning home in time for sundowners. Make memories at Cove Street Cottage.
Weymouth, a well-known resort, is an excellent year-round holiday spot with a wide range of attractions that are suitable for visitors of all ages and inclinations. The beautiful, lively harbour offers frequent fishing expeditions, while the beaches' gorgeous, golden sand offer first-rate facilities for all kinds of watersports. You can reach Portland Harbour and the untamed "Island" of Portland, which is connected to Weymouth by the breath-taking Chesil Beach, after a little drive. About 7 miles away is Thomas Hardy's "Casterbridge" in Dorchester. You may also travel the beautiful coastline route and stop at Abbotsbury Swannery and Subtropical Gardens, or simply visit West Bay and take in the picturesque vistas of the Dorset Heritage Coastline!

Cove Street Cottage was in an excellent location for us, pubs, cafe's and a local shop right on the doorstep and just a short walk from the town and sea front. Being so close to the harbour was a delight, watching the boats passing by was one of our favourite bits. The only downside was the cottage was very warm especially the main bedroom at the top of the house. we found it very difficult to sleep at night. it would have been helpful if a couple of fans had been available to cool it down a bit. Other than that, the house was well maintained and fully equipped with all we needed. Thank you for the stay.

On inspection I could find no fault whatsoever. Absolutely every need was catered for , from appliances to utensils. Cove Street Cottage is by far the best holiday accommodation I have stayed in. I would 100% recommend and my family and I (including 5 month old granddaughter) will certainly be returning

The property was very comfortable with all the features we like. The only issue we had was that the property we believed hadn't been cleaned before we arrived and also the fridge freezer had been left turned off so we couldn't use straight away (more annoying was the fridge has an audible alarm to let you know it's not cold and this sounded for an hour before it fell silent) I raised these issues with the rental management company (Dreams cottages) on the Monday and they offered to get cleaner round on Tuesday. We declined as we had already cleaned all the floors and hoovered by then. As for the fridge they were baffled why tge fridge is fully booked and no need to have turned off. But all in all a great property and would definitely recommend
