Guests say
Knapp Cottage is consistently praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and thoughtful touches from the hosts. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and the property's proximity to local amenities and attractions. While some mention road noise, it does not detract significantly from the overall positive experience.
Guests unanimously commend the cottage for its exceptional cleanliness, with several reviews highlighting this aspect positively.
The location is generally well-received for its convenience to local pubs and Weymouth, though a few guests note the presence of a busy road nearby.
The comfort of the cottage is frequently mentioned, with guests finding the beds comfortable and the home cosy, contributing to a relaxing stay.
Facilities are highly regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen and good parking. However, a suggestion for a Nespresso machine and a mention of conservatory chairs needing repair indicate room for improvement.
Many reviews express gratitude for the extra touches, such as refreshments and welcoming gifts. While these are appreciated, it is politely noted that such gestures are at the hosts' discretion and not guaranteed.
About this property
Knapp Cottage is in the suburb of Chickerell, in the sought-after county of Dorset, just a short drive away from the coast. This stone-fronted property offers an enclosed garden for alfresco dining in the warmer months and two off-road parking spaces for your convenience. Step inside and discover the spacious sitting room complete with a corner sofa, two armchairs, a TV and exposed beams for a rustic feel. Moving through the property, the farm-style kitchen hosts everything you need for a self-catered stay with a rangemaster cooker to prepare heart-warming meals, along with a dishwasher and washing machine for easy clean ups.
Settle down in the conservatory-style dining room to tuck into home-cooked meals as you chatter about the adventures of the day or soak in the sun in the rear garden. As the evening cools, retire inside and venture upstairs where a family bathroom offers a bath to relax your muscles and an overhead shower to rinse the sand away. When sleep calls, choose between two tastefully furnished doubles, one with a TV and a single bedroom, ideal for the little one. In the morning, you can freshen up in the bathroom or cloakroom before savouring a cup of tea on the outdoor decking.
A short stroll will lead you to the traditional local pub, The Lugger Inn for when you fancy a meal out there is a well-stocked convenience store for when you're running low on the essentials. Jump in the car to venture to the seaside town of Weymouth, home to a variety of attractions, including the SEA LIFE Centre Weymouth, Weymouth Harbour, Sandsfoot Castle, and Greenhill Beach. Weymouth is also a great place to enjoy a relaxing walk along the promenade, take in the stunning views of Weymouth Bay, and enjoy a bite to eat in one of the town's many restaurants and pubs.
Also with easy reach is the sweeping Chesil Beach and the tied island of Portland, an ancient town located in the heart of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. The town is famed for its dramatic coastal scenery, historical buildings and the variety of outdoor activities on offer. Visit Dorchester, the perfect place to explore the great outdoors, with plenty of green spaces to enjoy. Borough Gardens is a beautiful park in the heart of the town, and Maiden Castle is a great spot for a picnic. For long-lasting memories with your loved ones, choose Knapp Cottage.
