“Location is brilliant, everything in walking distance.”
The house was small but sweet. Ideal for a weekend away but a week was too much and we couldn’t wait to get home.
Few phone calls I made to dream cottages were completely unhelpful. Book to be independent because they won’t help.
Parking - don’t expect it. I called when we arrived early to ask what the parking permit zones were and they couldn’t tell me. It’s parking zone F if you do book. Have a drive around because there will be nothing on Helens Lane it’s all private garages. The picture is misleading, the green garage next door in the photo isn’t part of the house at all. Parking zone F sometimes has some pay and displays. If you arrive early it’s probably best to pay if you can get a space and add the permit in once you’re in the house. You may have time to pull up, block the roads, chuck your things out and drive off before another car comes down otherwise it’s a hassle lugging everything round from wherever you get parked.
Garden - what garden? It’s a small patio strip if you like pacing in the morning.
Sofa felt old and dirty like you’d sit on it and get bug bites. Probably is clean enough but considering the house looks like it’s recently has a bit of new flooring and paint a few sofa is desperately needed.
Main bedroom bed is a small double with a double bed topper, so you’ll feel like you’re falling out of bed every time. Worst weeks sleep and our bed was greatly appreciated when we got home. Pack your own pillows unless you’re not fussy about flat and cheap.
Minimal facilities, assuming due to Covid but you’ll need tea, coffee, sugar, toilet rolls, hand soap, dish soap.. A small sample would have been a nice complimentary, but we did get a bottle of white wine complimentary- great when you’re pregnant and would prefer a cup of tea!
Upon arrival, a glass was cracked, a plate chipped so I hope we won’t be accused for that.
Overall, the only thing we were grateful for and enjoyed was having our dogs with us and the location was great with lots of dog friendly restaurants. If we decided to visit Weymouth again, I wouldn’t go to this house and I wouldn’t go through Dream Cottages.
