    “The location of Nuke in the quiet mews, coupled with the sheltered parking across from the house, is very secure and absolutely perfect.”

    We have stayed in these cottages several times, but this was our first visit to Nuke. There were issues (in no particular order): The fridge/freezer is unserviceable and should be replaced because it is switched down to 'low' by the cleaners and takes a couple of days to return to proper freezing temperature. Milk was going off within 24 hours, the freezer was solid with ice but ice-cream would melt in 12 hours. The dishwasher is a tad temperamental; sometimes it works and sometimes it ...

    We have stayed in these cottages several times, but this was our first visit to Nuke. There were issues (in no particular order): The fridge/freezer is unserviceable and should be replaced because it is switched down to 'low' by the cleaners and takes a couple of days to return to proper freezing temperature. Milk was going off within 24 hours, the freezer was solid with ice but ice-cream would melt in 12 hours. The dishwasher is a tad temperamental; sometimes it works and sometimes it decides to go on holiday for 8 hours. The sitting room television is similiarly temperamental; it has a very limited number of terrestrial channels and will not always change channels, it just freezes. The heating programmer is new but there are no instructions to go with it; somebody from Dreams had to come out 3 times to get it working properly. The extractor fan in the downstairs toilet it not working. The second bathroom, with the round bath, is unusable by an adult, although it might be fine for a 5-year old. It is too shallow for a grown up. There were dirty utensils in the kitchen which had not been properly sorted and cleaned; we found a saucepan with an inch of oil/grease in the bottom of it, used for frying something, some time ago. Cleaners should have dealt with it. Downstairs corner-shaped sofa is extremely uncomfortable, it is too big/deep for normal sized adults and the cushion arrangement is wierd. There was only one clock in the whole house, over the door between the kitchen and sitting room. Fortunately, and aware that we had to be out of the cottage by 10am, we had brough a couple along, together with our mobile phones. On the plus side, the pillows were excellent (not always the case in these cottages and I bring my own as a precaution). We do this holiday break twice a year but it was sad to see Weymouth looking so uncared-for and the season had clearly already ended for a number of premises along the harbour.

The property

Nuke is a charming two-bedroom mews house in a small gated development, which historically provided the stables for the Brewery horses, but has now been renovated into these pretty houses.

Enter Nuke through the stable door and you step into the light and bright living and dining area, featuring a plush corner sofa and TV, for those evenings when you want to relax in front of your favourite TV shows.

Next, you will find the kitchen which hosts everything you need to rustle up something tasty in the evening after a day of exploring Weymouth.

Moving up the property, on the first floor there are two bedrooms, one being the master bedroom with en-suite shower room, and the second is a neat twin room, while across the way sits the family bathroom which contains a corner bath for a bit of luxury pamper time on your holiday.

At the front of the property there is a small decked area with two chairs for you to make use of on those balmy summer evenings, enabling you to enjoy the last of the sun for the day with a glass of wine.

The harbour is just five minutes' walk from Nuke, so you can make use of the secure parking, and venture out on foot to most of the places you will want to visit, such as Newton's Cove beach or Nothe Gardens.

There is an excellent variety of cafes and restaurants in Weymouth, so if you don't fancy cooking, you are spoilt for choice, or maybe you just want to have some fish and chips on the harbour side!

A great day out is Weymouth Sealife Adventure Park, where you can see the only colony of Fairy penguins living in the UK, or during summertime you can cool down in the Splash Zone with the children's outdoor pool and fountains.

Nuke would be the ultimate home-away-from-home for a young family or a couple on a romantic break.
