“A lovely place to stay.”

Nicely furnished and comfortable. Sykes were also very helpful when we go locked out.

Edward August 2024

“The property was nice and modern, clean & well maintained.”

Double bed was nice and comfortable but our other guest thought the single bed could have been better. We had some difficulty with the front door lock. We found it difficult at times to enter the property. We were surprised to find no hair dryer there as we thought this would be standard equipment. But all in all lovely property in a nice position. We enjoyed our stay would recommend & would return.

- Edward, August 2024

Thank you for your feedback. I’m so sorry that the hairdryer wasn’t there. I bought a brand new one at the beginning of this season. My husband inadvertently brought it home. It’s going back today! I will check the front door lock, and I hope that you might stay with us again. Property Owner

“1st class property and service.”

Unfortunately a few days into our holiday the washing machine broke down but a quick phone call to Dream Cottages office and the matter was dealt with promptly and efficiently so much so that the following morning a new machine was delivered and fitted. Dream Cottages maintenance man Piers Campbell was extremely friendly and efficient and is undoubtedly an asset to the company since in these days of booking everything on the Internet he may well be the only person that holiday makers have any interaction with. If, in the future, I have another holiday in Weymouth I will be happy to book with Dream Cottages.

- Philip, June 2024

Thank you for your lovely positive feedback. Also thank you for contacting Dream Cottages so promptly when the washing machine broke and that Piers was able to get a new one installed so quickly. I hope that you might stay with us again one day. Property Owner
Tracey June 2024

“We had a lovely stay.”

However we did notice a few things that could be addressed. The clock in the kitchen was broken could do with replacing. Hot water was an issue we didn't have any for days until we had figured out that the switch in the cupboard in the other bedroom needed to stay on as it had been switched off when we arrived. The shelf in the bathroom one side was very loose needs attention. Recycling we want to do our part for the environment but could not find any Recycling bins anywhere. Could possibly let holiday makers know where they are located. Apart from the few minor issues a very enjoyable stay once again.

Stephen September 2023

“Overall very nice holiday cottage, not easy to watch TV by everyone , due to position of lounge furniture, both mattresses in single room ,if updated would improve the comfort of our stay at the Little Tern immensely.”

- Stephen, September 2023
Tracey September 2023

“A beautiful home from home.”

Spotlessly clean. Perfect location for all amenities. My only very minor recommendation would be the TV. Normal channels We could not access. The garden was compact and steep however we knew that before booking so no surprise to us. Maybe have more comfortable outdoor furniture. Absolutely loved our stay, would highly recommend this little gem.

- Tracey, September 2023

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We’re pleased that you enjoyed your holiday, and thank you very much for bringing the TV issue to our attention. This will be looked into. Property Owner

Linda June 2023

“A lovely house and great staff helped me when I locked myself out!”

Unfortunately the outdoor space was not secure for my dog (or any dog) as one side of fence was just wire mesh, waist high. Otherwise a, great place but not for dogs.

Sammy May 2023

“First time staying in a cottage rather than static caravans and loved it!”

Very clean and tidy and smelt lovely when we walked in. Great location for walking to the harbour and town and also for walking our dog in the field behind the property. Very quiet area too which was lovely. Would definitely return.

- Sammy, May 2023

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We’re glad that yourselves and doggie enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

Kevin December 2022

“What a lovely cottage within a short walk of the Weymouth Quayside It was clean and tidy and very well provisioned for a holiday home.”

Only small criticism is that the small lounge suites are a tad low and shallow for people over Hobbit size and for a winter break not comfortable sofa’s. We will book again all being said this property has been maintained to a very high standard by Dream Cottages. Many Thanks. Karen and Kevin

- Kevin, December 2022
Claire October 2022

“This is a lovely little holiday cottage.”

It had everything we needed and the location was good. We especially liked the gate at the end of the garden as a quicker route to the dog friendly park - which had amazing sea views! There are plenty of places to eat nearby - we especially liked Cactus Jacks and Rockfish (both dog friendly). The cove art gallery is worth a visit too - beautiful local art. It was disappointing that a previous occupant had not adhered to the no smoking rule as this left the property smelling of cigarettes. The maintenance team did explain to us that the carpet and upholstery would be cleaned in the future.

- Claire, October 2022
Andrew September 2022

“We had a great holiday in this lovely cottage which is situated in a fantastic location near to the sea and harbour.”

Your lovely feedback is very much appreciated. Thank you for staying at Little Tern. Property Owner
Andrew September 2022

“Little Tern is a lovely holiday home, tastefully decorated a nice newer cottage at The Maltings car parking space close.”

close to Newtons cove for lovely walks and close to BrewersvQuay and Harbour. May be a TV in the main bedroom be nice add for the future for winter months.

- Andrew, September 2022

Thank you for your great comments and I’m pleased that you enjoyed your stay. I think your idea to put a television in the bedroom is a good one and I shall do that during our quiet time. Property Owner
Barry August 2022

Orest June 2022

“Great property and location and crockery etc was a really high spec and everything you needed for a comfortable stay.”

As it's a dog friendly properly it would be great to have a bit more information for dogs locally. Had a thoroughly enjoyable stay and the property was great. Thank you.

- Orest, June 2022

Thank you for your positive feedback. I’m pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Little Tern and thank you for your suggestion regarding information for our lovely doggy guests. I’ll do this. Property Owner
Pauline May 2022

“Absolutely enjoyed our stay at Little Tern.”

The back of cottage was a real sun trap. Everything was spotless and had everything you needed and more. It was nice there was a park just up the hill for dog walking especially in the morning. The one thing we would recommend is a non slip bath mat. We would definitely recommend Little Tern. Thank you.

- Pauline, May 2022

Thank you for your lovely comments. I’m so pleased that you enjoyed your stay (and doggy). Also, thank you for your feedback regarding the non slip bath mat. I shall make sure that this is sorted. Property Owner

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!

Please note: This property does not accept children under the age of 6 years old due to the steep steps at the rear. Garden may also be unsuitable for guests with reduced mobility.
