“Location perfect , house really nice everything you need , woukd just say the living room needs but of a face lift & furniture is needing a good clean /replacement .”

Bedrooms looked like they had been updated bedding & quilts all brand new.

“Overall, we all enjoyed our stay at Buccaneer Cottage and would stay there again in the future.”

However, there were a few minor details, one of which had been mentioned in the reviews back in July (fridge door shelf), which we would bring to your attention: 1) Arm covers on settee and armchairs were dirty and unnecessary. 2) We could not find the power cable for the DVD player. 3) One of the window blinds in the top floor bedroom would not retract easily. 4) Some of the doors seem to close quite violently, presenting a finger trap danger (especially for smaller hands) perhaps investment in finger guards might prevent the possibility of a nasty accident. The provision of a parking permit and an extra key was most welcome. We had 2 cars, but managed to find on street parking for the second one nearby without any problems.

Jenette July 2024

“The location of the property was fantastic but the cleanliness was below standard with dog hair on floors, lounge chairs requiring a deep clean.”

Vacuum cleaner bag was full and there was no bag left to replace. Roller on vacuum required significant cleaning as full of wrapped hair. Shower not draining in loft bathroom and required drain removing and again significant hair removed. Mould in loft bathroom. Unable to use boots door shelf of the refrigerator as it was broken so any bottles had to be laid down taking up significant room in the small refrigerator.

Lovely place great location, fridge door was broken had bottom tray missing so made it difficult to store milk , needs more crockery and cutlery so the dishwasher could be put on when full , some kind of squeegee for the walk in shower rooms would be a good idea, but those are only little things and our stay was brilliant, apart from those things 5 star

“Another lovely stay at The Buccaneer.”

Great location, fabulous views, good facilities, thank you ☺️

Mark Anthony June 2024

“The property has all you need to enable a fantastic holiday and couldn't be better situated.”

It allows dogs but you wouldn't tell any difference to a property that doesn't.

Mrs Rees May 2024

“The only downside at all was the pillows on the bed in the attic.”

Everything else was amazing. There were a few cobwebs here and there, but that wasn't an issue at all. I would definitely stay there again. Fabulous view and a lovely welcome gift of milk and biscuits on arrival.

- Mrs Rees, May 2024
Darrin May 2024

“Great location, lovely comfortable cottage.”

This was our second stay at the cottage. We had a great week, and have booked to return again next month for our ‘mini-moon’. We had a problem with the boiler, which meant we had no hot water for an evening/night/morning. We called the emergency contact number and the problem was resolved quickly. Thank you.

- Darrin, May 2024
Deborah March 2024

“Fantastic location and comfortable as home from home.”

Very clean and all facilities a family needs for a fun holiday. Great that it is pet friendly, took our dog, child and a grandparent with us and we all had a fabulous time! Second time we have stayed here and will definitely be back.

- Deborah, March 2024
Jenny March 2024

“We had a very comfortable relaxing stay at Buccaneer cottage.”

Arranged over 3 floors, we can see why the middle floor is the living area, lovely views day and night across the harbour. Thanks for leaving the menu and recommending The Red Lion pub which is just behind the property, we went there more than once and enjoyed the seafood and varied menu. Dog walks in the local park which is about two minutes walk were great for a quick morning or afternoon walk and there were many walks you can do of varying length including Chesil beach, Portland, Weymouth beach and a bird sanctuary to name a few. Lots of shops in Weymouth to suit every budget from small businesses to Marks and Spencer, and some lovely quirky shops with things you never knew you needed. Plenty of places to eat and drink. The Guerka restaurant was very enjoyable and The Crab cafe was very memorable. We were always nice and warm in the cottage and sleeping on the top floor gave us some additional incredible views of the harbour all lit up at night.

Lynette October 2023

“Excellent location with great views of the harbour.”

Good facilities with everything we needed and it was lovely to have milk, tea and coffee available for us on arrival. Chairs and settee are well worn but this adds to the authenticity of the house. It was clean and welcoming. We had a lovely stay.

- Lynette, October 2023

“Lovely location.”

Stained carpets, leaky shower door lounge furniture very tired. Despite this we enjoyed our stay.

- Derek, October 2023
Danielle September 2023

“Firstly the property is in a lovely location and has lots of character.”

Let's get into the nitty gritty - the shower in the ensuite in the downstairs double was covered in grime like it hadn't been cleaned for about a year, it had a toilet brush with excrement running down the sides and encrusted on the brush, the carpets smelt of wee and had big patches on, the walls had big patches of crusty paint and dirty hand marks, the blue chair upstairs smelt Victorian and of cigarettes, some of the furniture is falling apart. We went to Sykes office and showed them photos where they told us it wasn't acceptable and they would be contacting the owner. We then sent a complaint and have been told that ' the mess was made by us, we left the place in a state and left a fish in the microwave (this was accidentally a fish and chips box regrettably). If I could put the photos on here you would see that the grime and excrement were not made in a day and the disgusting attitude of these owners is appalling I will now be taking the matter further to accuse us of the mess they have neglected is appalling - avoid like the plague unless you want to catch the plague from the apartment.

Denise September 2023

“All 6 of us had a perfect break at Buccaneer Cottage, we come to Weymouth every year & always book with Dreams cottages.”

Found Buccaneer to be another faultless property. Excellent facilities & superbly comfortable beds & bedding. Ideal location on quieter side of harbour with beautiful views. Grateful for parking permit for one car. Thanks for a wonderful holiday, so sad to leave!

- Denise, September 2023
Elizabeth August 2023

“I have stayed at the cottage many times , the Harbour views and location is ...”

I have stayed at the cottage many times , the Harbour views and location is great , however the local authorities need to clamp down on parking the down stairs bedroom windows give a direct view of the harbour but this year the only view had from this room was of transit vans continually parked in front of the window , there is a sign on the cottage wall outside telling No parking but the authorities just seem to let anyone park anywhere, will think again about coming back to the cottage, which is a shame

- Gary, April 2023
Peter March 2023

“We had a lovely week in Weymouth.”

The cottage is beautifully situated alongside the old harbour and just a short walk to the shops, restaurants and seafront. The property was clean, well equipped and comfortable. The parking voucher meant we were always able to park outside the property during our stay.

- Peter, March 2023
Kim March 2023

“Thank you for a lovely stay in Buccaneer Cottage.”

It was lovely and warm when we arrived on a very cold March evening. It was very nice that milk, tea, coffee and biscuits were provided. The facilities were adequate. We brought our own towels, tea towels and hair dryer, dishwasher tabs. If we stayed again, we would also bring some cleaning materials as there were none at all. The beds were very comfortable and the bedding good quality. It was also surprisingly quiet at night considering the bedrooms were on the ground floor and the property in such a central location. Our sleep was not disturbed once. Not even afternoon naps… As mentioned, it was lovely and warm on arrival but too hot for us to sleep. We turned the heating down at the boiler but then couldn’t turn it up again the next morning. However, when we called the office they were very efficient and effective in sorting it out. We’d like to say a big thank you to them for that. All in all, we had a very pleasant stay and would definitely recommend it to anyone who has a well behaved doggy. Our 1-year-old whippet Ellery loved his daily visit to the Nothe squirrels and crows which provided a fab opportunity for some prey drive desensitisation!! He also loved the seaweed!! We would be happy to come again. Thank you Kim & Derek

Harold January 2023

“We had a very nice holiday and everything at Buccaneer was perfect.”

However the parking without a permit was a nightmare and for this reason we regret that we will not be making another booking. Harold .....

- Harold, January 2023

We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Buccaneer Cottage, and are pleased to inform you that there is now a zone parking permit available until February 2024. Property Owner
Steven December 2022

“Stunning views and great eccentric set up inside.”

Good kitchen to make a breakfast and a Sunday Roast I have stayed in this cottage a number of times in recent years and am delighted with the improvements. Sykes and Dreams were very helpful during this stay so It’s all great

Jennifer October 2022

“We found the cottage clean and tidy, please be aware we found the stairs are very steep.”

The location is very pleasant and plenty of restaurants all around. Views of the harbour from the lounge are lovely, the owners have thought of everything you would need for a stay here.

Very clean and comfortable ,lower bedroom basins need traps clean as waste water is slow to drain away ,problem with oven not heating up quickly ,main problem is No Parking permit you cannot expect guest to park a quarter of a mile away in Public car parks incurring charges ,

Ann September 2022

“Lovely property especially so close to the harbour river.”

My 3 year old grandson was memorised every day by the boats passing our window DEFO book again hopefully with some weatherproofing to the windows, unfortunately they let in an enormous amount of cold air !!!!!! But this would not stop up coming again

Alan May 2022

“We, as a family, have enjoyed a yearly visit to Buccaneer Cottage, starting in March 2016 for my youngest son’s 50th birthday and again this year for my eldest son’s 60th, and, as usual, found the accommodation excellent for these family get-togethers.”

The location on the harbour-side provides excellent access to nearby Nothe Gardens, Weymouth beaches and town centre and numerous eating and drinking establishments as well as having a beautiful harbour on the doorstep All-in-all a very pleasant, comfortable place to choose for an enjoyable holiday. Dream Cottages even provided beautiful sunshine for the whole week we were here this year. Who could ask for more?

- Alan, May 2022
Andrew May 2022

“As mentioned to the cleaners, it would be good to provide spare rubbish bags as just one for a family of 5 was insufficient, we had to leave items on the floor and also put some in the public bins.”

Also a sponge/scourer for washing up is needed. Everything else was great.

- Andrew, May 2022
Darren April 2022

“Having paid £30 for the week in the recommended near by car park to then find a parking permit which was not mentioned in the booking and advised to park in the near by car park was disappointing, an extra £30 i did not need to spend.”

The cottage should be advertised stating a parking permit is available for 1 vehicle use.

- Darren, April 2022
Jackie March 2022

“Fab place to stay with everything you would require in the property.”

Situated in the most fab place on the harbour with a wonderful view and lovely bars and eating places all around .

- Jackie, March 2022
Jacqueline February 2022

“We took a short break in Weymouth and we were very happy with the cottage.”

It is in a perfect location with easy access to everything you might need and great views. Parking was no problem at all, with the use of the parking permit we parked right out front for the whole holiday. The cottage itself is equipped with everything you might need, was clean and comfortable throughout. We had a slight problem with the keypad, but mainly due to our inexperience, Dream Cottage staff were excellent, let us in and showed us what we had done wrong so it worked perfectly when we left. We would highly recommend this cottage and are thinking of booking it again ourselves next year.

- Jacqueline, February 2022
Khloe November 2021

Very disappointed with lack of basic cleaning materials not even 1dishwasher tablet to put in machine had to go out and buy some no mop to clean kitchen or bathroom floors hoover very hard to use as foot needs replacing otherwise location very good beds clean and comfortable I would book again with Sykes just not that cottage was probably spoiled in September 2020 with cottage we had then all I would like to say is owner of buccaneer needs to leave a few basic cleaning items for clients to be able to clean house I went out and bought our own

Nicola September 2021

“Location Is fantastic some things are a little dated parking could be troublesome but we was luckily enough to get a space right outside overall we had a lovely time.”

- Nicola, September 2021
Jeanette August 2021

“The location of this property is great, but unfortunately the property itself doesn’t appear to have been maintained in any shape or form.”

There is a ‘damp’ smell that was continuously coming from the lower ground double, the mattress in this room sank in the middle. The mattress in the double on the top floor was so hard and gave us back ache the whole holiday. In the main lounge area the carpets are in dire need of replacing as is the sofa and the single chair in there which had rips in it as did the cushions. Overall the property needed some TLC!!!

- Jeanette, August 2021
Jayne August 2021

“Perfect location.”

Lovely cottage, massive shout out to the owner who very generously sorted a problem prior to our arrival. We looked at booking again for next year whilst we were there, just a massive pity for us that the price increase has meant we're unable to enjoy such a lovely place owned by such nice people.

- Jayne, August 2021
Kevin July 2021

“We had a few bad things this year work vans coming in at 7am to units behind the holiday house mini diggers being put on trailers all hours of the night and the the odd night when drunks was having a tiff.”

Having said that we would book for 2022 but the price is to high when you start looking around i think £1200.00 to 1500.00 for this property is plenty for a week

- Kevin, July 2021
Emma July 2021

“Lovely house in a great location but could do with an update - all a bit tatty, sofas and carpets quite dirty and a funny smell downstairs.”

Mattresses have seen better days. Property wasn't very clean for saying we couldn't check in until 5pm, found some rubbish from previous occupants.

- Emma, July 2021

Thank you for your feedback, following this, the owner has purchased new mattresses for all the beds in the property. We do hope you return again soon. Property Owner

“We have stayed at Buccaneer cottage before this is a beautiful cottage located ...”

We have stayed at Buccaneer cottage before this is a beautiful cottage located right on the harbour waterfront next to all the bars , restaurants, beaches, I would highly recommend this

- Gary, June 2021
John September 2020

“Great location With easy walkable access to everything we needed.”

The property could have been much cleaner throughout. There was lots of dust on the 3 floors and the when we lifted the table runner on the dining table this clearly had not been wiped/cleaned for months so was not very hygienic. The bathrooms on all floors also needed a good deep clean. House had all we needed and Sykes Cottages were helpful when the WiFi did not work. Sykes Cottages could have warned us about the building works taking place in the house next door and the workmen vehicles blocking access to the property and windows. This was not the fault of the men carrying out the works who were all polite to us but the noise of cement mixers, circular saws, skips being delivered, trucks delivering building materials etc was not the sound of the working harbour we had expected. All in all a great holiday let down by a few simple corrections.

- John, September 2020
Dawn September 2020

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Buccaneer Cottage, (2 couples).”

The house was clean, comfortable, spacious and well equipped. Even though we travel with everything including food and drinks, on our arrival it was nice to see a welcome pint of milk in the fridge and also a small box of biscuits. The property was well placed within the marina/harbour, lovely views and sunsets on an evening, even better views from the attic bedroom. We were very lucky to have good weather for the full week we were there. The harbour has an excellent fish and chip shop (Bennetts) which was only a 2 minute walk - absolutely delicious and plenty of them! There were ample pubs and inns serving food with plenty of outside seating areas (although we didn't try them) and Afternoon Cream Teas to be found everywhere! Asda was only a ten minute walk if you didn't want to take the car. An easy stroll in to the town centre with a good selection of shops, from the harbour front and across the bridge (5/10 mins at the most), and another 5 minutes to the beach. In the opposite direction was Nothe Fort and the lovely Nothe Gardens with lots of squirrels, carry on a little further round the coast and you come to Newtons Cove, looked lovely for swimming and with views across to Portland. We had some lovely dog walks around the area everyday. Also plenty of places to visit by car if you want to go further afield. The only negative issue was the renovation work going on at the house next door starting early morning, disturbing my parents who were in a downstairs bedroom. However, we were advised of this when booking so can't really complain, it didn't spoil the holiday and will be finished soon.

- Dawn, September 2020

We've just got back form a wonderful week at the Buccaneer cottage, it was brilliant, great location, great weather, social distancing was well maintained we'll definitely be returning

- Tracey, July 2020
Kevin July 2020

“The cottage was very clean and the location suits us we have few bad points this year the key lock is hit and miss so we never used it and the 2nd key was missing which made things hard when there is more than 2 of you the bed in front bed room needs replacing which we said last year also the TVs remote in the same room doesn't work properly again reported last year.”

Also you have builders starting work at 7.30 am starting generators up and someone working in a workshop till 9.00 pm vans are parked up against the front door you have a job to get in and out we did report this to dreams cottages but nothing was done. We have booked for 2021 if things are the same we will have to look for somewhere else for the coming years

- Kevin, July 2020
Alan December 2019

“As usual, this was another exceptionally brilliant holiday in a superb Buccaneer Cottage, in a superb location and in a superb holiday destination.”

I have nothing but praise and many thanks to the owners and Dream Cottages for providing the ideal family holiday location.

“Dog hairs on carpet, not from our lapdog.”

Dishwasher not very effective

- Richard, November 2019
Barbara October 2019

“We are a family of 6 of grandparents, parents and grandchildren.”

The cottage was perfect for all ages. The location could not have been better for us with the sandy beach in one direction and the fort, a playground and pebble beach in the other direction. Watching the boats come and go from our sitting room window was good entertainment. Plenty of eating places just a stone throw from the cottage was also a bonus.

- Barbara, October 2019
Ian August 2019

“This accommodation is in an ideal location with parking.”

My only regret is not having a stairlift to the first floor where the lounge and kitchen are. Everyone else in my party was happy.

- Ian, August 2019
Stephen August 2019

“As a family we have stayed in Weymouth many times over the years, we have seen a children grow from toddlers to young adults our parents age but the one thread that has remained constant is our love of the seaside town of Weymouth and our holiday memories of staying in Buccaneer Cottage.”

- Stephen, August 2019
Sylvia May 2019

“We had a really good holiday at Buccaneer Cottage, the location right on Weymouth Harbour was fabulous, with great views from the living room.”

Everything we needed was close at hand and the cottage was very comfortable.

- Sylvia, May 2019
James April 2019

“We found Buccaneer an excellent holiday let.”

Will recommend to others the only thig we felt would improve the acomadation is a standard lamp in lounge. In the evening could not read with low enegy bulb.

- James, April 2019
Tam April 2019

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, watching the boats go by, crabbing on the harbourside and having everything we needed from cream teas, the beach and shopping all at hand.”

We hope to return and stay again soon. We even had a week of sunnydays which made enjoying our ice creams even better!

- Tam, April 2019
Andrew March 2019

“We had a great long weekend.”

The view of the old harbour was excellent and the house is very comfortable with everything you need, including tea, coffee and milk all provided on arrival! Brilliant location for the Nothe Gardens, pubs around the harbour all serving food and a short walk to the beach. We would definitely like to stay at the Buccaneer Cottage again.

- Andrew, March 2019
Alan March 2019

“Thank you to the owners and Dream Cottages for once again providing us with an ideal accommodation for a family break.”

This is the 5th time we have used the facilities at Buccaneer Cottage and as in the past have been more than satisfied. Unusually there were two small negatives this year, the first was that there was no spare key and the second that it was a puzzle that the cutlery drawer could not be opened without first opening the oven door, as this has never been a problem on our past visits I can only assume that a new oven has been fitted although this is not obvious. However, this did not distract from the fact that this is an ideal accommodation for a family get together, the harbour side location could not be bettered and the proximity to the nearby eating establishments and pubs is good and the impressive nearby Nothe Gardens with its walks and views is superb, add on to that the Weymouth shopping centre and beach is only a short walk away and you have the ideal holiday location. Once again, thank you.

- Alan, March 2019
Debbie December 2018

“Outstanding position.”

Party of 5 who had a fab Christmas 2018. Warm and cosy, with a welcome pack to start us off on a brilliant holiday. Lots to see and fantastic walks especially to chisell beach. Christmas day swim was a bonus to watch with a perfect view from the cottage. Would definately book this cottage again and highly recommend to anyone.

- Debbie, December 2018
Jane December 2018

“Would’ve appreciated some form of Christmas decoration so close to ‘The Event’.”

The views from the house were better than we expected, and it was so nice to park the car and not worry about parking tickets for the duration of our stay with the permit provided. Walking to shops, beach, pubs etc was easy. The very funny panto at The Pavilion perfectly topped off our stay. Loved our time there and nobody had any grumbles. We will return.

Mr Alan Hazell Mar 2018

“Our first visit to Buccaneer Cottage was a long weekend family break to celebrate my son's 50th.”

birthday in March, 2016, and we were so impressed with the cottage that this years visit was our fourth. We have not been disappointed, and would recommend this as an ideal venue for any family get together, especially if you want to include your pet dog. What is there to not enjoy when you are situated right on Weymouth's beautiful harbourside with stunning views from all windows and have numerous first class eating establishments all within easy walking distance. Stayed March 2018

- Mr Alan Hazell, Mar 2018
Mrs Janet Llewelyn Mar 2018

“The cottage was clean, wecoming and well equipped.”

We left behind a tea strainer for anyone like us who makes coffee in the teapot in the absence of a cafetière. We stayed here last year and were bowled over all over again by the setting and view. Hoping to be back.

- Mrs Janet Llewelyn, Mar 2018
Mr Alan Hazell Jan 2018

“After staying at Buccaneer Cottage, in March for the last two years, it was decided that it would be a good venue for Christmas and awe weren't wrong.”

Pleasantly surprised at the quality of the Christmas tree and decorations the owners had provided for our enjoyment and the cleanliness of the cottage. Our stay was made even better as my 8 year old granddaughter had persuaded her Mum and Dad to join her in braving the cold to take part in the Weymouth Lions charity swim across the harbour which they all successfully completed. The location of this cottage, right on the harbourside, couldn't be better and the accommodation is ideal for our families purpose. Many thanks to Dream Cottages and the owners of an outstanding holiday destination - stayed December 2017.

- Mr Alan Hazell, Jan 2018

Fabulous location, views and accommodation. Love the fact that it's dog friendly. So close to all amenities. The staff at Dream Cottages were very friendly and helpful. Hope to return to beautiful Weymouth and Buccaneer Cottage later in the year. Stayed April 2017

- Mr Bill Benford, May 2017
Mr Alan Hazell Mar 2017

“Thank you for a superb break in Weymouth.”

This was the second long weekend break we have taken in Buccaneer Cottage, the first being the same weekend last year and this one was every bit as good, or even better, than the first, in fact we enjoyed this break so much that I have since made a booking to spend Christmas at the Buccaneer Cottage this year. I cannot fault this cottage, location is superb, the accommodation likewise. Our only grievance this year was that the weather was not as good as last year, Again many thanks for providing the makings of a very enjoyable holiday. Stayed March 2017

- Mr Alan Hazell, Mar 2017
Mr Bill Benford Dec 2016

“We stayed in Buccaneer Cottage on 18th November 2016 and had a lovely week.”

The cottage is in a prime location with stunning views over the harbour from most windows, where you can watch the trawlers and fishing boats landing their catch and the yachts and trip boats coming and going. we found the cottage clean and well equipped and welcoming. it was good to find a holiday home that allowed us to take our very well behaved dog. We loved having all the amenities within a short walk. we have been coming to weymouth for many years and look forward to staying here again in April 2017. Many thanks. Stayed November 2016

“This holiday day was booked as a surprise celebration of my youngest son's 50th.”

birthday. I couldn't have made a better choice, the location was second to none, the accommodation was excellent with everything needed to add to the enjoyment of my son, his wife and 6 year old daughter, myself and my eldest son. I was also pleasantly surprised with the hospitality and help given by the Cottage's next door neighbour, who I understand is a friend of the owner. And to cap it all the bad weather we had been experiencing prior to setting out for Weymouth changed to glorious spring time sunshine for the whole of our stay. If that was something arranged by Dream Cottages I am well impressed. Thank you to the owners for providing us with the excellent accommodation and to Dream Cottages for the service provided. Stayed March 2016

The property

Located directly beside the picturesque Old Harbour close to Brewers Quay in Weymouth is Buccaneer Cottage, a wonderful holiday home for a big family or a group of friends.

The property has excellent views of the harbour allowing you to relax in the comfort of your armchair and watch the ever-changing scene.

Fishing boats and luxury yachts pass right in front of you to find their moorings or to pass under the old town bridge which lifts and falls to allow yachts to enter the inner marina.

Hope Square, where you will find a variety of restaurants and tea rooms is only a very short stroll away.

The main beach with its golden sands and shallow waters is within easy walking distance or you may choose to take the charming row boat ferry and cross the harbour to the beach directly.

The town centre with its array of high street shops, nine screen cinema are also just a short walk along the harbour and across the town bridge.

Within a five-minute walk you can reach Newton's Cove, a small sheltered beauty spot with rock pools ideal for children to explore and the adjacent Nothe Fort gardens; the perfect location for a picnic.

Is an ideal venue for a family get together, especially if you want to include your pets.

What is there to not enjoy when you are situated right on Weymouth's beautiful harbourside with stunning views from all windows and have numerous first-class eating establishments all within easy walking distance.

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!
