About this property
A spacious period cottage located in one of the most picturesque and popular areas of Brewers Quay in Weymouth which plays host to a few festivals throughout the year.
Several steps from the front door is the Old Harbour where you can try your hand at crabbing with children. In the summer months you can barely see a free spot along the harbour to do so! Watch the famous lifting Town Bridge going up every two hours (you can check the times on the bridge itself) and admire this unusual mechanism allowing boats and yachts in and out the Marina.
Bright, airy and lovely decorated rooms with harbour views, the well-equipped kitchen and sitting room with dining table for you to enjoy a tasty evening meal or family breakfast - all together make a perfect holiday home in Weymouth for you to experience.
There is a selection of restaurants, cafes and pubs, perfect for trying the freshly caught sea food. Visiting one of the traditional fish and chips is a must too.
Walk along the Harbour and you will reach beautiful Nothe Fort and gardens where you can enjoy a picnic and an afternoon stroll. The town centre with its high street shops and local individual shops, cinema and bowling are a leisurely stroll away, as is the golden, long and sandy award-winning main beach with its shallow bathing waters.
Venture further along the esplanade, on your left you will see RSPB Lodmoor which makes a good day out spotting a variety of wildlife. Further you will reach Preston, a beautiful suburb of Weymouth which is popular with water sports enthusiasts Bowleaze cove and sandy beach. If you walk towards West, you will reach the National Sailing Academy as well very popular with sports enthusiasts. Either path you take, you can be sure of the beautiful scenery that will be leading the way.
Just short drive away from Weymouth is the market town of Bridport and county town of Dorchester with array of shops, from high street to local businesses, beautiful narrow streets and museums. Not too far from Bridport is the popular place of West Bay with gorgeous cliffs and pebble beach. If you wish to explore further, you will reach two very popular locations for fossil hunting – Charmouth and Lyme Regis.
Louisa Cottage is a, bright, lovely and spacious cottage close to all local amenities and the town centre, beach for all the family to enjoy.
This thriving area called Brewers Quay is the old Victorian brewery situated right at the very heart of the harbour, in Weymouth, Dorset.

Now a popular destination with many restaurant’s café and bars making it a vibrant location where you can relax with a drink and watch the world go by. Tucked in the harbourside streets here you will find original Tudor harbour buildings estimated to have built 1600 and well worth a visit, with a very interesting history to share. You will also find the Weymouth Museum, with some incredible facts and artefacts, there is more to this seaside town than meets the eye. The harbour is home to the lifting bridge where you can watch the luxury yachts head out to sea, and then walk over the bridge into the town with it’s winding streets of boutique shops and onto the seafront Esplanade and beach. Brewers Quay is a much loved location in Weymouth.

location was great. The double bed was uncomfortable and could do with curtains in the main bedroom. Kitchen was well equipped, overall a great stay.

The kitchen and facilities were amazing. The location of the cottage suited us very well. We enjoyed our stay at Louisa Cottage. There were some things which we felt would benefit from attention: the front door and step, the gap in the French doors, the âgardenâ, the blinds in the twin room (they had to be opened and closed manually because the cord no longer works), the master bedroom would benefit from better window covering as there was too much light from outside at night. A more detailed map of the immediate area would have been helpful, even a visitorsâ book might have helped with notes on where others had visited and walked. We didnât have transport so relied on buses, trains and walking. The lack of a tourist information centre in the area is regrettable.
