“It needs another car park space by the property as only space for one car.”

Couldn’t get in to property until 5 as cleaner was still there which was a a bit nuisance as we had 2 young children in the car and a car full of food shopping it was a hot day also only one car parking space for a 4 bedroom property was a problem was told to move one car while we were waiting for cleaner to finish only wanted to unpack car and then move on

“Well maintained, comfy as always, like the new sofas.”

Karla June 2024

“We had a brilliant week in a wonderful place.”

George's House is brilliantly placed for exploring Weymouth. It's within easy walking distance of the town, with loads of places to eat, interesting shops, and all the amusements at the beach. We also loved the shingle beach we found going out the back of Kellaway Court. The house itself was fantastic, with absolutely everything we needed. And we loved the new sofas!!!

- Karla, June 2024

Thank you for your review and pleased you enjoyed your stay. Also thank you for being so helpful when the new furniture was delivered. Property Owner

Graham October 2023

“Very comfortable and very clean.”

Would advise you to look at the opening of the door lock from the inside. Very difficult to turn the key at times.

“Really lovely place,”

“Very nice accommodation, roomy and comfortable and in a good location”

Tara July 2023

“Stunning property, perfect location, lots of facilities - and little extras which were an added bonus, just small note; would’ve liked spare light bulbs provided as one bedroom had a blown bulb and had to remove one from downstairs light to replace it and wooden hand rail really needs a very good clean.”

Apart from that it is very clean with good quality bedding/towels/etc. Shame only x1 parking space and as previous people have said it is a very noisy property - everywhere wooden floors that creak and barn style latch doors so if like us, you need to use toilet in the night, it wakes the whole house up (think it would be extremely noisy if you have young children staying - can clearly hear people in next room talking and also if downstairs sitting in lounge) so just be aware but upon saying this we would all definitely recommend this beautiful property (creaks and all) and it’s perfect gated location, literally a minutes walk from the harbour - it’s the best place we have stayed in Weymouth with loads of facilities (including a washer/dryer which was very useful) and such a great location; we will definitely be returning!

- Tara, July 2023
Margaret June 2023

“Faultless especially with parking in gated area.”

My daughter in law didn't want to leave. Will definitely be back

- Margaret, June 2023
C June 2023

“Had a wonderful stay in George's House.”

The house was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. The location was perfect and to top it all we had brilliant weather. We would definitely stay here again.

“Some of the decking at the front is lifted which is a trip hazard and also a couple of the outdoor folding chairs are about to break so need looking at.”

Other than that another great holiday at George’s house. Great cottage in a super location.

“Lovely place to stay, and looking forward to booking for next year”

“The property had been refurbished and redecorated to a seemingly very high standard, but unfortunately within a couple of days we noticed water appearing in one corner of the kitchen.”

We eventually deduced that the leak was in some way connected with the usage of the ensuite situated above. Then, to our disgust, we discovered that the source of the leak was the toilet waste pipe, to which all other ensuite waste pipes (shower, wash basin) were connected. By this time food stored in the kitchen cabinets and on the worktops below had been contaminated and was thrown away. When we informed Dream Cottages about this, we decided that the best option was for us to cease using the leaky ensuite altogether, as any attempt at a full repair would have involved removal of the built-in kitchen cabinets in order to gain access to the toilet waste pipe situated behind them. The result of this was that we only had one bathroom for seven people, which was very inconvenient, to say the least. As if this wasn't enough, when it rained during our second week, we discovered that the newly glazed kitchen window was leaking badly in several places, so much, in fact, that we needed to position several pans and even sandcastle buckets to catch the drips. We informed Dream Cottages about this, and a tradesman arrived next day to carry out a repair - this was not completely effective, but did reduce the number of drips from six down to one. So, all in all, mixed feelings about the property - no doubt the owner has spent a fortune on the refurbishment, but has clearly been let down by the quality of work carried out. I should point out that we have stayed at George's House before, and enjoyed it immensely. It is a very comfortable house in a great position for accessing the delightful Old Harbour and also Nothe Gardens and Newton's Cove. No doubt when the problems mentioned have been addressed it will once again be a superb holiday accommodation. I would hope that we will be offered some compensation for the inconveniences detailed above, and for the fact that facilities for which we had paid handsomely were not available for much of the holiday.

Jackie March 2023

“Lovely property.”

Cozy, warm and comfortable. Spotlessly clean and very convenient location Nice and new. Very comfy beds and linens. Great bathrooms and entry way. Lovely new utensils, etc. Could do with a little more wardrobe space. Steps up to property are not for the elderly and security gates are great but a pain to keep opening and closing in wind and gales, off season. We enjoyed our stay and certainly served us well and would recommend. Lovely and quiet there off season. Slept really well.

- Jackie, March 2023
Susan January 2023

“Stayed numerous times at George’s House which speaks for itself.”

Another enjoyable stay. Couple of minor issues, both reported and dealt with by Dream Cottages promptly as we have found they always do.

- Susan, January 2023
John October 2022

“We had a special time with our grandchildren during half term.”

The house was big enough for the family to be together and the location superb. We would recommend this venue and would be happy to book it again another year.

- John, October 2022
Carole September 2022

“Wonderful property in a fantastic location.”

Only negative - one parking bay but our group arrived in three cars.

- Carole, September 2022
Sarah July 2022

“This property was clean and well equipped, it has all you need to make your stay comfortable, hair dryer, iron etc The beds are comfortable and bedding clean.”

I would stay at the property again but only as a family. I wouldn’t recommend for larger parties as you can hear every single noise mainly due to the flooring being floor boards.

- Sarah, July 2022
Bernard June 2022

“Superb location.”

Excellent property very comfortable. Will definitely book again. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

- Bernard, June 2022
Stephen May 2022

“Fantastic house for facilities, location and comfort.”

Stayed here many times and will be returning.

- Stephen, May 2022
Peter April 2022

“We were very happy with our experience.”

The only reservation I have relates to parking. George's House is large enough to accommodate up to 8 people (presumably at least two carloads) but has only one parking space. The cottage adjacent has three. I don't know what the protocol for the allotment of spaces is, but another space for this property would save a great deal of inconvenience.

- Peter, April 2022
Georgina February 2022

“We had a great stay on the whole and really enjoyed the property.”

One thing though, the super king size bed/twin room was not great as we couldn't get the beds to join together so I wouldn't describe it as a super king size, it's two beds really and should be described as a twin room only. Great location and we really enjoyed our stay.

- Georgina, February 2022
Luke October 2021

“We realise things change during Covid but the house wasnt really clean when we arrived and we seem to be being asked to do more and more at the end of the stay (and we can't get in before 1700 on the first day).”

Makes me wonder what your cleaners actuallly do do nowadays!

- Luke, October 2021
Mick October 2021

“The positives: This is a lovely holiday let perfect location close to the harbour and right next door to Brewers quay and it’s restaurants.”

It is a really good sized property with great toilet/shower facilities The stairs are quite difficult if you have mobility issues being wooden and quite steep Great gated property with parking which was a godsend. My negatives It could be cleaner There is so much dust everywhere! and if you happen to move any furniture for whatever reason it’s not good. You are unable to check in until 5 because of the ‘supposed ‘deep clean’ that has to be carried out these days so you lose a day and then find that a deep clean has not been carried out. The dreams cottages office is right next door to the property and they were fantastic when we complained about the mattress in the master bedroom (it sunk in the middle) this was changed for us 10/10 for customer service

- Mick, October 2021
Julie July 2021

“The location was perfect.”

The accommodation couldn't have been any better. Would definitely recommend this to anyone.

- Julie, July 2021
Chris July 2021

“Lovely place, well furnished with great facilities, comfy beds and excellent location.”

Only thing that let it down was cleanliness, it had a good surface clean but other areas were thick with dust. Only other thing to mention is the gulls, when it's hot, having windows open is a must but be prepared for a 5am wake up call from them shrieking, obviously not the fault of the cottage though. Had a great week and would recommend the place

- Chris, July 2021
Craig April 2021

“Fantastic cottage, well equipped and tucked away in a great location.”

The off street parking is helpful too. We’d love to stay again.

- Craig, April 2021
Sharon August 2020

“Cobwebs were found around bedroom windows,en-suite shower wasn’t good as the shower tray filled up quickly and you had to turn off the shower and wait until it was empty before you could continue and it took ages .”

The key pad numbers are a job to see ,would be better if there was parking space for two cars .

- Sharon, August 2020
Daryl August 2020

“We have been holidaying in Weymouth now for over 20years, mainly with Dream Cottages and have always had a good experience.”

This year was no exception despite all of the problems of the Pandemic.

- Daryl, August 2020

“Georges House was a lovely place to stay.”

Comfortable warm and clean with all mod cons. It was in a very convenient location for pubs, restaurants, doggie walks in the park and the harbour was just around the corner.

The property

Georges House is a converted property within Kellaway Court, one of the most desirable places to stay within the Brewers Quay area of Weymouth.

Accessing the property via external steps from the courtyard you will enter the property on the first floor walking into the open plan living area.There is also a bedroom on this floor and a further 3 bedrooms upstairs.

It is a complete conversion of one of the old malthouses which used to belong to Devenish Brewery.

Most of the old malthouse features have been retained with the architect cleverly marrying up ancient with modern.

Private electronic entrance gates afford exclusivity and the whole development has been tastefully completed and very well presented.

Being close to the harbour you may experience the many attractions and relaxed vibe which the Brewers Quay has to offer.

In the evening you can enjoy a meal at one of the many attractive bistros, the local inns offer good ale and cool wine.

The romantic harbour has a special magic of its own morning madness and evening romance.

Colourful vessels adorn the harbour along with the affluent gin palaces.

The old cottages which front the harbour are painted in soft colours, all of which blend into the morning sunshine and the evening sunset.

A morning stroll along the seafront really is one of the best ways to start your day. The central and secure location makes Georges House an ideal place for your family holiday.

About the location

BREWERS QUAY HARBOUR

Dorchester 8.7 miles; West Lulworth 15.8 miles

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!

Note: Allocated parking for one car only in electronically gated secure residents parking area. Note. Guests are required to bring their own cot linen.
Note: Fire Risk Assessment booked for 22 Feb 2024 - access will be required.
