“Very pleased with the property - ideal location with easy access to harbour & town centre.”

The kitchen is well equipped with all the utensils needed. The cottage was spotlessly clean & the welcome pack was much appreciated. We enjoyed our stay so much that we have already booked the same property for Christmas next year. Couple of things to mention - the shower Matt was not very clean and the parking bay was a bit cluttered with 3 bins only one of which for Goliath - parking bay could do with line painting on the floor to clearly mark out each parking space as at times the car in the next space was very close to our parking bay probably due the materials left in the parking area. Kind regards Andrew & Kim

“Lovely cottage in great location.”

Sofa is a bit small and not too comfy but was OK for a weeks stay. Other than that couldn't fault it.

Stephen September 2024

“2nd time at the Goliath and completely satisfied all was as expected from our first visit.”

Only a small property but well thought out but being tall the bathroom can be a bit of a problem but just remember to watch your head. The kitchen has all equipment you require and the lounge has plenty of space for a couple and a dog to sit in comfort also the bedroom was large enough and a comfortable bed

- Stephen, September 2024
Donna August 2024

“The quality and location of the property exceeded our expectations.”

It was absolutely immaculate and beautiful. I honestly cannot find one single negative comment to make. The location is superb being a 3 minute walk to the harbour and situated within a secure gated courtyard with parking right outside which was really great.We will be back.❤️

- Donna, August 2024

“Great location - short easy walk into Weymouth.”

- John, July 2024
Lindsay June 2024

“We enjoyed our stay at Goliath.”

The property is ideal for two people and the location near the harbour is excellent, two minutes and you are on the bustling waterfront. Possibly add a fan in the bedroom?

- Lindsay, June 2024
Martin June 2024

Kate May 2024

“What a beautiful little place Goliath is!”

So clean and modern, every little thing you may need has been thought of! Our own parking space in the gated courtyard was brilliant especially with it being so close to the harbour which is literally a 2 minute walk away. Love Weymouth, loved this beautiful little place, we will definitely be back!

- Kate, May 2024
Anna December 2023

“We loved our stay at Goliath.”

Great location, very close to the harbour and Nothe Fort, so lovely walks from the doorstep. Spotless property and brilliantly equipped. Absolutely no complaints at all! We were very happy there. The heating and hot water failed on us on boxing day morning which was just one of those crazily timed things. It was sorted and back on within 2 hours of us reporting it, so we were really pleased with the response to this, thank you!

Marian October 2023

“Lovely property to stay in.”

Nice and clean. Kitchen is very well kitted out with equipment, bed is comfortable. Lovely to stay so close to the harbour and in a gated property. Local pubs are great and dog friendly.

- Marian, October 2023
Janet September 2023

“We stayed in this property last year and I said then how fabulous it was, spotlessly clean, perfect location and great secure parking.”

My only criticism was the lack of a chest of drawers to store jumpers etc in the bedroom. There is now a small hanging fabric storage unit in the wardrobe but this is so small it doesn't really help much. Otherwise we LOVE this property.

- Janet, September 2023
Janice September 2023

“Fabulous property and superb location.”

Enjoyed stay ,nice welcome hamper,lovely touch. Only minor gripe was workmen working on property next to us at 7.45 in morning, other than that a fantastic stay. Recommended.

Julie July 2023

“This property was advertised as 2 bathrooms we were disappointed to find it only had 1,other than that the property was clean and comfortable very close to beach and other amenities.”

- Julie, July 2023

Having read your comment and checked the website, we realised that the summary at the top of the listing did say Bathrooms - 2. However, lower down within the detailed information it says Bathroom (indicating only one) and in the photo reel, only one bathroom can be seen. We have been in touch with the agency and their error has now been rectified. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and we hope that you had a lovely holiday. Property Owner

“Goliath in Weymouth was an ideal location for couples and was a short walk to the harbour and the town.”

It was also very secure to park your car.

- W, July 2023
Mr & Mrs Sinclair June 2023

“Very tastefully furnished and decorated.”

We think it was Next and Dunelm, a welcome change from some of the old furnishings we have had in the past. Also a decent flat screen tv, a small horrible tv puts us off a property immediately. Parking under cover was brilliant. Location, walking distance to town we loved. Only slight criticism we had was uncomfortable seating area outside. which we didn’t use, but you can’t have everything.

- Mr & Mrs Sinclair, June 2023
Graham June 2023

“Perfect accommodation in a convenient location for the harbour and town.”

“Perfect!!!”

Private,secure and quiet location plus parking but close to harbour,shops and everything Weymouth has to offer. Spotlessly clean throughout (hats off to your cleaner) Quality furniture and fittings.

Deborah March 2023

“My husband and l had a lovely time at Goliath cottage.”

It is a great property, very comfortable with all the amenities that we needed and walking distance to the town. It was our puppy’s first holiday and he enjoyed it too

- Deborah, March 2023
Peter March 2023

“We had a great holiday.”

The cottage is in a perfect location with everything close by but away from the hustle and bustle of the harbour in a gated area with undercover parking. The cottage itself is a clever design, in great condition and has every facility you need. It was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Totally recommend.

- Peter, March 2023
Geraldine February 2023

“Lovely cottage with everything you need.”

Great location too.

- Geraldine, February 2023
Douglas January 2023

“Lovely property for a couple, beautifully decorated and equipped, and we appreciated the excellent welcome pack!”

The only problem we had was the very tight front door - it took a very hard push to open!

- Douglas, January 2023
Lorna October 2022

“Me and my husband haven't been away on out own for years, this was the perfect week away to celebrate our wedding anniversary, the cottage was beautiful and did not disappoint, it had everything we needed for our week away, the neighbours were friendly and pleasent and the location was perfect, We will definitely be booking this again.”

- Dawn, October 2022
Kevin October 2022

“The property is small but has everything you need.”

Recently fitted out everything is new and clean. Car parking is great, secure behind gates to the mews. The location is second to none being two minutes walk from the harbour and the facilities there and the location provides a great base to explore further. Didn't know quite what to expect of Weymouth but it's good. We went slightly out of season but there was still plenty open. Would go again

- Kevin, October 2022
Keith September 2022

“Lovely place to stay”

- Keith, September 2022
Janet September 2022

“Goliath is an absolutely beautiful holiday cottage.”

Ideally situated with a less than 5 minute walk to Hope Square and the harbour and the secure private parking is an absolute bonus. The cottage itself is spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated. The only slight improvement I could suggest would be the addition of a chest of drawers in the bedroom as trying to fit underwear, teeshirts, jumpers etc into the small drawers in the bedside cabinets is quite challenging. Otherwise we absolutely loved the place and would definitely stay there again.

- Janet, September 2022
Stephen August 2022

“Very nice property as described, and excellent location.”

Only criticism, is that we would have expected the towels and linen to be changed for the second week.

- Stephen, August 2022
Shaun July 2022

- Hazem, May 2022
Susan April 2022

“Goliath was exactly as described.”

It had everything necessary for a great holiday. Walking distance to shops, restaurants and the beach. Undercover car parking. Top quality fixtures and fittings. A very comfortable stay perfect for a couple. Would not hesitate to book again.

- Susan, April 2022
Samantha April 2022

“Oh my goodness, how lucky are we to have discovered Goliath !”

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Everything about the property is just perfect - the location, the way it has been decorated and furnished, the facilities. What a treat to find everything where you need it - plugs by mirrors, coat hooks by the front door, towel / door hooks in the bathroom, hairdryer, iron and ironing board. It was made even better by having a car parking space - priceless in Weymouth ! We shall look forward to staying at Goliath again. Thank you.

- Samantha, April 2022
Andrew March 2022

“Everything about this property - and its location was perfect.”

for us. The property is only small, being a conversion of one of the old brewery stables (previously home to the shire horse - Goliath) - but everything is so thoughfully designed and laid out, and with such attention to detail that it had with everything that we needed. Very comfrotable, clean and cosy. The location was also perfect. It was our first visit to Dorset and we loved it - Weymouth is such a lovely seaside town and the cottage is only a few minutes walk from the old harbour area with so many historic points of interest - and close to pubs, restaurants, shops and green spaces. We did not want to leave - and look forward to returning in future.

The property

This cosy hideaway is just moments from Weymouth’s historic harbour and is the perfect couples retreat from which to explore the delights of the Jurassic Coast.The beautifully converted stable offers a warm and welcoming sitting room diner, where you really can escape from it all and relax in comfort after a busy day exploring the local area.

The well-equipped kitchen has everything you need to cook a delicious meal, but should you prefer to eat out, you are just a few moments-walk from Hope Square and the harbour where you can find several restaurants and bars that offer lovely food.

Ideally located, you will find you are within walking distance of plenty of gorgeous views and places to discover.

Newton’s Cove is just 3 minutes-walk away and offers unrivalled views of Portland and beyond.

Follow the footpath to the fort and wander around the meandering footpaths of The Nothe Gardens, where the mature trees frame lots of beautiful sea views.

The harbour area is perfect for an alfresco dinner or drink, and not forgetting watching the ships sail past and the fishermen busily going about their daily catch.

When you feel you want to explore further afield there are plenty of things to see, catch the ferry from the harbourside to Portland and wander around the castle, admire the boats at the National Sailing Academy or stride out and explore the South West Coast Path which starts just a few minutes-walk from the front door.

Goliath is the perfect getaway with your loved one at any time of the year.

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!

8 Feb 24 - Please note: The property directly opposite the front of Goliath is carrying out building works. Please do bear these building works and associated noise in mind when booking this property. Works are expected to be finished by mid April 2024.
