“Lovely stay!”

location was great. The double bed was uncomfortable and could do with curtains in the main bedroom. Kitchen was well equipped, overall a great stay.

“The cottage was very clean and comfortable and the bedding was scrupulously clean.”

The kitchen and facilities were amazing. The location of the cottage suited us very well. We enjoyed our stay at Louisa Cottage. There were some things which we felt would benefit from attention: the front door and step, the gap in the French doors, the “garden”, the blinds in the twin room (they had to be opened and closed manually because the cord no longer works), the master bedroom would benefit from better window covering as there was too much light from outside at night. A more detailed map of the immediate area would have been helpful, even a visitors’ book might have helped with notes on where others had visited and walked. We didn’t have transport so relied on buses, trains and walking. The lack of a tourist information centre in the area is regrettable.

“Our stay at Louisa cottage was very pleasant it was clean and tidy and well equipped, you have the harbour shops, pubs, coffee shops and one of the best fish and chip shops (Bennetts) we were a party of five and felt very at home throughout our stay we will be booking again in the future.”

“Louisa cottage was amazing.”

A really quirky beautiful cottage situated on Weymouth Harbour. The cottage was lovely and clean, very comfortable and really well equipped. We were greeted with a lovely Hamper from Dorset Happy Hamper containing lovely local chocolate, ground coffee, biscuits and Dorset tea bags, all were yummy and there was a fresh pint of milk in the fridge, these were a lovely surprise and felt very welcoming, thank you very much. We were a party of five and we felt very comfortable at Louisa cottage and we all loved it. We loved the homely feel and the decor and it felt homely and had lovely warm happy vibes. We loved being within steps of the harbour wall and could see and hear all the activity on the harbour. Thank you so much for making our stay welcoming and comfortable. We will definitely come back and we have already recommended Louisa Cottage to our family and friends xxxx

Rebecca May 2024

“Ideally situated, very close to the coffee shops, restaurants,shops, harbour, beach was only a short walk.”

The 'Dreams cottages' office was extremely helpful, (one minute away). One niggle would be, lack of curtains, the Venetian blinds were very tired.

- Rebecca, May 2024
Jennifer April 2024

“We stayed here for 4 days, Louisa cottage was very comfy there were 5 of us and there was ample room for us all.”

it was amazing I would highly recommend this property, it was ideally situated for walking to town. The facilities in the property were amazing I could go on all day about how great it was. When we go back to Weymouth I will book this again.

“Have used dream cottage/sykes for many many years always had a perfect holiday ,highly recommended”

- Elizabeth, July 2023
Michelle July 2023

“Lovely cottage and really spacious inside.”

Only niggle was the blinds in the bedrooms need replacing as you can't fully close them and this lets the light in, or curtains need to be installed as well.

- Michelle, July 2023

Thankyou for your lovely review. We have since had the bedroom blinds replaced. Thankyou for bringing this to our attention. Property Owner

“Loved the house, a couple of things had to be sorted, however the plumber came the same day and sorted out the problems.”

Location was perfect, area lovely and we were very comfortable

- Phil, October 2022

Kevin August 2022

“Very conveniently located property, very close to the harbour, local cafes, pubs and restaurants, but also reasonably quiet.”

One item that would be a definite plus, is a dishwasher, just a small counter top one would be fine. Double bed mattress should be replaced with a more comfortable one. The single beds were very good. We will be back again

- Kevin, August 2022
Nicola July 2022

“We love Louisa Cottage and come back every year.”

It's a lovely location, clean and spacious. The only thing that could make it better is nicer seating in the courtyard.

- Nicola, July 2022
Sean July 2022

“Great place to stay very near the harbour with all its pubs and restaurants.”

Can be noisy in that area especially at the weekend. The house is large and well set up. I would book here again.

- Sean, July 2022

Thankyou very much for your lovely review and we look forward to welcoming you to Louisa cottage again soon Property Owner

Maureen September 2021

“We all had a lovely holiday in Louisa cottage.”

Location was excellent. Brewers quay area is lovely for pubs restaurants and entertainment. But still close to the town. The cottage is nice with plenty of room for a family. The only complaint was the mattress were far too hard I would definitely recommend this cottage. Already booked for next year

- Maureen, September 2021

Shaun October 2020

“The cottage was in an excellent location for all of the local shops bars and restaurants plus easy to walk to all of the local things that we wanted to see.”

I would highly recommend this cottage if you want a week off from driving as everything is on your door step.

- Shaun, October 2020
Elizabeth August 2020

“I payed a lot less for Quay Cottage and got a 5 star experience.”

The front room light didn't work, the outside panel on patio doors is falling off, the shower plug in main bathroom is slightly blocked had to stay in shower till water went down, no secondry glazing in main bed room, most of the window blinds didn't work properly, the extention lead in twin bedroom is showing bear wires which is a fire hazard, no cleaning products under sink which would have helped covid cleaning but what made me really angry was we didnt get in till 6.00pm. Oh and no highchair as requested till 24hrs later.

- Elizabeth, August 2020
Claire July 2020

“We were planning to use the internet for home schooling during our week In Weymouth , unfortunately the internet was down and it took 4 days and daily visits in to the agents before the company even looked into it.”

Really disappointed that this could have not been resolved , it appeared very little attempt was made to try and sort this out for us and we left after a week with no internet access.

- Claire, July 2020
Edwina September 2019

“I was disappointed in this accommodation.”

We arrived to find a bag of laundry by the entrance. There were issues with the boiler. When we went upstairs there were large cobwebs on the windows-how the cleaner failed to see these was a mystery as the windows were open. In the upper rooms the bedside lamps were unplugged-one had a broken bulb and when we moved the furniture to plug them in the beds in both upstairs rooms had lots of dust (I would think several weeks worth) under the beds where we also found the alarm clocks. The toilets were not clean neither was the shower in the main bathroom-this room was also very dusty in the corners and the radiator was covered in fine dust-possibly talcum. The shaving light didn't work. Only one tea towel was provided for the entire week and two toilet rolls, a situation I found hard to believe as this was a property which slept five. There was no hand towel in the kitchen and a missing bulb. The outside area was described as a patio-in fact it was a broken concrete yard with black mold on the walls, weeds and wooden garden furniture which was unusable unless you were a collector of splinters. We spoke to the agent who said the property had been "deep-cleaned" prior to our arrival. i have rented property both in England and abroad and have never stayed antwhere where the kitchen was completely devoid of basic foodstuffs ie salt, pepper, oil etc.

- Edwina, September 2019
Sean September 2019

“The holiday home exceeded our expectations and was probably the nicest we have stayed in.”

It was spacious, clean and in an excellent location. I would certainly rebook this place again if I revisit Weymouth.

- Sean, September 2019

The property

Louisa Cottage is a spacious period cottage adjacent to Brewers Quay; one of the most picturesque and popular areas in Weymouth which plays host to several festivals throughout the year.

A few steps from the front door is the Old Harbour where you can try your hand at teasing a crab line with children.

In summer months you can barely see a free spot along the harbour to do so!

Watch the Town Bridge going up every two hours (you can check the times on the bridge itself) and admire this unusual mechanism allowing boats and yachts in and out the Marina. Bright and lovely rooms with harbour views, well-equipped kitchen, sitting room with dining table for you to enjoy family breakfast - all together make a lovely holiday home in Weymouth for you to enjoy. There is an array of restaurants, coffee houses and pubs, perfect for trying our freshly caught sea food.

Trying one of the traditional fish ad chips is a must too.

Walk along the Harbour and you will reach beautiful Nothe Fort and gardens where you can have a picnic.

The town centre with its shops and cinema is a leisurely stroll away, as is the long and sandy award-winning main beach with its shallow bathing waters.

Venture further along the promenade, on your left you will see RSPB Lodmoor which makes a good day out spotting wildlife.

Further you will reach Preston, a beautiful suburb of Weymouth with popular with water sports enthusiasts Bowleaze cove and sandy beach.

If you walk towards West, you will reach the National Sailing Academy as well very popular with sports enthusiasts.

Either path you take, you can be sure beautiful scenery will be leading the way. Just short drive away from Weymouth is market town of Bridport and county town of Dorchester with array of shops, beautiful narrow streets and museums.

Not too far from Bridport is West Bay with gorgeous cliffs and beach.

If you venture further, you will reach two most popular locations for fossil hunting – Charmouth and Lyme Regis. Louisa Cottage is a lovely and spacious cottage close to local amenities and the town centre for family to enjoy.

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: Nearest pay and display parking is at the Nothe car park DT4 8UD a few minutes walk.
