Guests say

Spindrift is a well-regarded holiday rental in Weymouth, praised for its cleanliness, superb location, and spaciousness. Guests appreciate the secure parking and the property's proximity to local amenities. While some guests found the seating and beds comfortable, others noted issues with comfort and maintenance, such as unstable dining chairs and a problematic TV setup. The presence of ants was a minor concern for some. Overall, the property offers a pleasant stay with a few areas for improvement.

The property is consistently described as clean and tidy, with several guests specifically noting its cleanliness. However, the mention of an ant problem in some reviews slightly affects the score.

The location is highly praised for being fantastic, quiet, and convenient, with easy access to the harbour, restaurants, and pubs. It is considered one of the property's strongest points.

Comfort receives mixed reviews. While some guests found the beds very comfortable and the property spacious, others reported issues with hard mattresses, unstable dining chairs, and a sagging sofa.

Facilities are generally well-regarded, with the property being described as well-equipped. However, there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as the TV connection, curtain rail problems, and the ant situation, which suggest room for improvement.

There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the property owner or management, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

Brewers Quay is the old Victorian brewery situated at the heart of the harbour, in Weymouth, Dorset. Much of the grade II listed complex and surrounding brewery buildings date from the late 1800 early 1900’s and many have stones inlaid commemorating their construction year. This area is now a popular destination with many restaurants, café and bars, creating a vibrant culture, where you can relax with a drink and watch the world go by. Tucked away down the harbourside streets, you will find original Tudor harbour buildings, estimated to have been built in 1600 and well worth a visit, with a very interesting history to share. You will also find the Weymouth Museum, with some incredible exhibitions, and the harbour is also home to the lifting bridge, where you can watch the luxury yachts head out to sea, and then walk over the bridge to the town's winding streets of boutique shops and the seafront esplanade and beach. There is more to this seaside town than meets the eye; Brewers Quay is a much-loved holiday destination in Weymouth!

  • Sandra

    We had a problem with hot water and heating but this was quickly sorted by some nice friendly staff.would have liked a hanging rail in 2nd double bedroom .right in heart of the town parking was a big plus.

  • Brenda

    The kitchen was well stocked with equipment , we could not ask for more. This is situated in a nice quiet area not far from the harbour and its facilities and easy to walk over the bridge into town or beach. Great to have the parking space so near . We would thoroughly recommend this property and would love to come again (sadly already booked for the same week next year) Regards Brenda Ward
