“Excellent location!”

Well equipped and comfortable. Enjoyed our stay very much.

“Should mention that Lookout (road) nearly opposite at side of CEFAS gives really quick access to the coast path and sea swimming at Newton Cove (only 300yds away).”

- Mr, August 2024
Nigel August 2024

“Travelled with my wife, son and grandchildren.”

Found hops house a perfect location, just a small walk into hope square and the Quayside, or out the front door to a less used rock pool filled harbour. Hops house had all we needed, was well presented and as a group would certainly go there again.

- Nigel, August 2024
Robert August 2024

“T would help people staying in the property if there was a handrail fitted to help into the garden area.”

The 7 steps were steep and rickety in places . Otherwise the property was 1st class our every need was catered for the Happy Hamper was fantastic and having milk in the fridge for a cuppa was so thoughtful.

- Robert, August 2024
James August 2024

“Great location, clean and comfortable accomodation.”

- James, August 2024
Siobhan August 2024

“We had a wonderful holiday at Hops House.”

Our first impressions were how clean it was and so beautifully presented. Really comfortable settees and beds, good quality linen. The Dorsey hamper was such a lovely touch and made us feel very welcome. The location was perfect. Really near to Nothe fort and gardens and a lovely walk by the sea. The harbour has some great restaurants and cafes. Would recommend the T shop and the marmite cheese scones !

“We have stayed at this property previously and it has been maintained perfectly.”

A really comfortable hose in an ideal location. We had a fantastic holiday. Kevin.

Linda May 2024

“This was our second, or possibly third, visit to Hops House which was spotlessly clean and very comfortable, well equipped and exactly as expected.”

Ideally placed to walk everywhere around the harbour area, very quiet, perfect. The only problems are there is nowhere to put anything when using the middle floor shower - it needs a shelf of some kind; and the upstairs bath needs a shower curtain at the least, preferably a shower screen, to avoid flooding.

- Linda, May 2024
Dorota October 2023

“Hops House exceeded my expectations, it was a true home from home.”

I stayed there for 4 weeks and felt immediately at home. The house has a good vibe, it's tastefully decorated and well equipped with lots of wardrobe space, location could not be better. Dedicated parking was very important for me and it worked exactly, as described. The welcome hamper full of Dorset delicacies was a lovely touch and the contents was spot on. I reported a couple of minor maintenance issues which we sorted out the very next day - very impressive. The only minor suggestions I have: furniture in the twin bedroom is sparse, I would have welcomed at least a small dressing table or a tall chest of drawers, adding a shower screen in the main bathroom as it cannot really be used as a shower at the moment, and perhaps a smart TV. A couple of tips for future occupants: the main gate code also works for pedestrian access gate to/from Hope Square. If you like sea swimming, there are friendly groups of swimmers from 7.30 am in the morning at Newton's Cove - I'm a convert.

- Dorota, October 2023
Christina September 2023

“The property generally was very spacious and in a brilliant location.”

The secure parking was a huge bonus. It was very dirty in places eg bathroom radiator and the shower door was hanging off. As soon as we arrived we discovered the heating didn’t work so we’re having daily phone calls to sort this which was done very efficiently. Perhaps checking things like this before people arrive might be a good idea as it was cold some nights. The only thing missing was an internet tv in the lounge. Despite these niggles we loved the property and the location and would love to return.

- Christina, September 2023

Would definitely come back.

Maria July 2023

“Hello, we really enjoyed our stay the property was well maintained and very comfortable and clean .”

The location of the house is great and we enjoyed the outdoor space at the property too . The welcome hamper and a bottle of milk was a lovely touch and really appreciated thank you ! Our weather was not the best at times , but having the lovely house and it’s comforts made all the difference, lots of lovely memories made as a family so thank you .

- Maria, July 2023
Lydia July 2023

“When reading some of the older reviews I was slightly apprehensive about our booking but thankfully Hop’s House was as described and photographed.”

A bright, clean, airy house which was comfortable, well equipped and easy to live in for a week. Parking no problem. Lots of stairs and steps inside and out but the ability to take a short cut through the car park was a big help (especially with a baby and a pushchair). Great local walks on your doorstep and overall a great place to stay to enjoy Weymouth and surrounding areas. Abbotsbury subtropical gardens and Swannery make for a wonderful day out or two, if you choose to take your time. It’s true there is a bit of road noise in the early morning and evening but nothing to worry about.

- Lydia, July 2023
Eileen June 2023

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were blessed with lovely weather.”

As in the photos the house was light and airy. The sofas and beds were all comfortable with crisp linen and although still comfortable one of the twin beds was lumpy. As others have noted ,the blinds did not effectively shut out light,they also needed careful operation. However,being woken early gave us longer to enjoy Weymouth. We were pleasantly surprised by the lovely walks in the Old Harbour and Nothe especially as they began only a minute’s walk from the house. We would love to return.

- Eileen, June 2023
Penny May 2023

“A lovely house.”

Clean and comfortable with easy access to town and Nothe Fort. Great location. A bit of road noise in the evening and early morning. Otherwise great.

- Penny, May 2023
Sandy May 2023

“We enjoyed our week's break at Hops House.”

We found it very comfortable and well equiped. We did however have trouble getting the heating to come on during the evening when the weather turned chilly and to warm up the towel rails for our shower before we went to bed. Even though we followed the instructions it seemed hit or miss. The shower water was not that hot nor very powerful. Certainly nothing like our power shower at home. The front left gas ring needs some attention as it would only light with a very low flame on the highest setting but fortunately it was not a problem for us. Booking a place with 3 floors was not a good idea espcially as there was not a toilet on the ground floor.

- Sandy, May 2023
Denise April 2023

“It was a beautiful home clean comfortable and so thoughtful to leave milk coffee teabags ect.”

...the only one thing i would say is to put curtains in the bedrooms to keep the early morning sun out ....but everything else was absolutely perfect.

- Denise, April 2023
Graham April 2023

“Bit disappointed the visitors parking spot not available.”

Bed firm for our liking but you can’t please everyone. Excellent well equipped house .Thank you.

- Graham, April 2023
Stephanie September 2022

“Excellent, well appointed and almost perfect.”

Would have liked a soap dish in the shower. The toilet roll holder in the shower room needs repair. It would have helped guests of our age to be informed that we could exit through the back door and go through Kellaway Court. The same gate code applies. It`s a long hilly walk for the elderly otherwise. Perhaps three floors could be a problem for the infirm. All said we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

- Stephanie, September 2022
Raymond July 2022

“We had a lovely week Ideal location.”

The only criticism we had was for a house that size we needed another parking place.

- Raymond, July 2022
Susan June 2022

“Hops House is well equipped and maintained.”

It is ideally situated away from the hustle and bustle of the town but within a few minutes walking distance of the beautiful beach, shops and Nothe gardens which has stunning views across the sea. It also has gated parking, always a big plus.

- Susan, June 2022
Stuart April 2022

“The mattresses in all the rooms are rock hard and not very comfortable.”

The kitchen is very tired looking with the laminate peeling of the unit doors. The TVs are very old and the one in the sitting room pixelates in parts. Most people now have smart tvs and want to access to Netflix or Amazon Prime on their own accounts. We are a family of 5 with 3 teenagers. One shower isn’t adequate and nobody wants to use an over the bath shower. The house was spotlessly clean but it just didn’t feel particularly modern or luxurious. Due to covid we had to rebook the house twice. First booking was at a reduced price which was about £750 or so which is probably about right. The full cost is simply unjustifiable.

- Stuart, April 2022
Teresa September 2021

“Great accommodation comfortable and clean and everything there we needed would love to come back again .”

Thank you .

- Teresa, September 2021
Kate September 2021

“Disappointed that the house was not fully cleaned on arrival.”

Dream Cottages offered to send someone in but it was 5.45pm on a Saturday so did it ourselves. The house is now dated and needs to be updated eg the kitchen units and the decor and sofas which are damaged. The windows need a clean and the gate needs painting. On the positive side, a good location within easy reach of the harbour and the shops and from the Front Door to Newton's Cove and to the Nothe Fort. Parking is tight, so don't bring a big car and reverse into the space. The 5pm check in on a Saturday does not allow a lot of time to resolve any problems before Dream Cottages close at 6pm and don't reopen until 10am on a Sunday.

“The standard of cleanliness was not to good, the large rug in dining area was ...”

The standard of cleanliness was not to good, the large rug in dining area was very dirty a lot of stains blinds in a few rooms broken pillows on bed very flat poor quality,windows dirty and glass in doors leading outside all seals had gone so was very cloudy the outside needs repainting and full off rust worst 1 in the row, the leather furniture is ripped and lots of marks all over up stairs and down stairs, if the owners of this property spent some money on it it would be lovely place to stay, table and chairs dirty with cigarette ends under table, can honestly say was very disappointed all other accommodation we have had off you in the past have been fine

- Ralph, September 2021
Daren August 2021

“The general standard of the accommodation in terms of cleanliness was of a low standard and whilst I have raised a list of issues with Sykes there has been no resolution as yet.”

- Daren, August 2021
David July 2021

“Had great time at Hops House as we stayed there some years ago and location is good and in quiet area.”

Had a couple of issues which were sorted the same day. A few minor points were, only had 2 slice toaster could do with a 4 slicer, Tap in kitchen sink needs replacing as it is very stiff and the windows needed cleaning. Apart from that had lovely time at Hops House and would recommend a visit.

- David, July 2021
Stuart June 2021

“No bowl for the kitchen sink.”

A lack of black bags, smelly drying up towels, lack of toilet rolls and kitchen roll. Overall the visit was ok, very good location, took all the above items (apart from bowl), as we have experienced a lack of kitchen bits and bobs before. Appreciate there will be no food and no coffee or tea, due to COVID. Great location for the harbour and beach.

- Stuart, June 2021
Sarah May 2021

“Its just a lovely area.”

- Sarah, May 2021
Richard April 2021

“Great location, parking easy and enjoyed the sunny patio in the afternoon.”

Good outdoor table and chairs but needed to be cleaned by us before use. Nice bed linen and towels. Well equipped kitchen. Property generally met our expectations. However a disappointing level of cleanliness considering we would have been one of the first to stay since lockdown ended, particularly dust which looked like it had been there a long time. Would benefit from some more mugs, a small amount of cleaning materials for bathroom, a tidy up of the garden and perhaps a small welcome parcel. Good customer service from Dream Cottages in fixing flashing light in bathroom.

- Richard, April 2021
Martin October 2020

“The lack of recycling is very disappointing.”

We were advised to put all our waste in the commercial waste bin on site rather than the normal bins. The commercial waste bin was already full whereas several of the normal bins were completely empty so we could have recycled as we would have at home. It seems there is plenty of capacity for all the properties in the development. This development needs to get on board with recycling. Because of this we could not recommend it to anyone. We put our glass bottles in the glass bins anyway as these also were completely empty.

- Martin, October 2020
Iain October 2020

“Description accurate - found the house clean and comfortable, and in a great location to explore.”

Very quiet despite its central location. The only thing lacking is recycling facilities - these should be standard.

- Iain, October 2020
Shona October 2020

“We provided a list of niggles at the end of the week; things that should be checked regularly but not things a housekeeper might spot if they only come in daylight.”

E.g. flickering lightbulb in bathroom once on for a while, window blind not able to be lowered, extractor fan in bathroom on last legs. Nothing that spoilt our holiday in anyway but fixing these bits and pieces would make this a gold star property. Location excellent, lots of room to dry stuff out (fab english weather

“A lovely clean comfortable cottage just a short stroll to the town centre”

- Dilys, August 2020
Zoe August 2020

“Very disappointed in the cleanliness of the property.”

.. especially given supposed covid “deep clean” and delay to entering the property. Complaints process a joke, send someone out to inspect and allocate a complaints owner but absolutely no contact and long contact centre wait times. NOT GOOD ENOUGH Dreams Cottages.

- Zoe, August 2020
Linda September 2019

“Hops House is positively huge and more than we expected in many ways; very comfortable if a tad quirky!”

We made some very minor improvements - the mantle clock in the upstairs sitting room now has a functional sweep hand; the rinse aid compartment in the dishwasher is full (instead of completely empty); the cutlery is both clean and properly organised (having picked up a teaspoon with the 'bowl' full of grease which I only discovered when inadvertently putting my thumb in it! the whole lot went through the dishwasher). The upstairs bathroom xpelair makes a shocking noise when it starts up and then runs for half an hour or more. The radio/alarm in the 'master' bedroom didn't work. All issues reported verbally to the Dreams Holidays team who were uniformly delightful, very friendly and helpful. Biggest problem was the security gate giving access/egress to the courtyard. We reported three times that the automatic gates were not fully opening or closing, a particular worry on the Friday when we had to be gone by 10am on Saturday and my car would not fit through the partially opened gate (well, not without losing the wing mirrors at the very least!) at the top of a steep ramp, difficult to approach anyway in a heavily laden car. Sleepless night, working out exit strategies. In the event, somebody had sorted out the gates very early that morning because they were, thankfully, fully operational. A super holiday, very comfortable house, good secure parking and a two minute stroll from the harbour. Weymouth is wonderful, even if it rains 5 days out of 7 (but not all day!) - we walked miles exploring and paddling! So good, we've already booked to go back (to a smaller property in the same courtyard). Cannot wait!!!! Thank you to Dreams Holidays too for allowing us to change the dates for our second holiday without any fuss (bar a small admin charge).

There’s one off-road parking space for your car in an electronically gated secure residents parking area.

There are two entrances to Hops House.At the rear of the property there is access from the car park at the lower floor level.

There is also access from the street at 1st floor level. Breath in fresh air and take the benefit of the patio with furniture or spend a couple of hours on the first-floor balcony having a cup of tea. The property accommodation is spread through three floors.

The ground floor gives access to the open plan living area with kitchen, dining area and sitting area for you to spend time all together with family and have a wonderful meal or simply relax. To take a quiet break – sit in the first floor sitting room with a feature fire place just before going to bed.

Take a tour in and around the Fort and get to know a bit more about Weymouth’s history.

A stroll along the harbour and across the Town Bridge will take you to Weymouth's golden sands and the sweeping bay where children can play in shallow waters, hire a paddleboat or visit Mr Punch for a show.

In the evening you are spoilt for choice, on offer are top shows at the pavilion, a nine-screen cinema complex plus ten pin bowling, numerous restaurants, coffee shops and harbour side hostelries.

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: max 6 people.
Note: Hops House is accessed via steps at both the front and rear entraces
