“Excellent location, adjacent to Weymouth Old Harbour and walking distance to shops (M &S food hall).”

Good pubs. Enjoyed our stay with property well equipped

“Whilst we love the location, parking, and the house generally.”

Our stay was sadly really affected by multiple building works going on around the house. The house next door is being renovated which started around 8am each day with drilling and sawing, then there are 2 building sites on two sides of the property (the old brewers quay and the other I think was a car park) which also had banging drilling and shouting going on from even earlier. The property would really benefit from double glazing. Also taxi drivers sit on the benches across the road shouting from 6am when cruise ships are arriving to pick up passengers which also woke us up multiple times.

“The property is well equipped, well furnished and had everything needed.”

The windows were filthy and had not been cleaned for a long time - perhaps due to being in the midst of a building site. The en suite bathroom had a damp odour and would benefit from some fresh air circulating. We did not use it. The allocated parking space had been taken by someone else when we arrived. The rubbish stored in the parking space, old tyres, planks of wood with nails protruding and general debris was tidied up during the week, but had not been completely removed. The view from the window into the courtyard at the front was of dustbins and building works.

“Lovely cottage, had everything we we need and great location, would definitely return.”

Margaret October 2023

“What a lovely cottage.”

Close to the harbour and shops with safe parking, a perfect position. The cottage is comfortably furnished with everything anyone would need for a perfect holiday, and spotless throughout, with a few welcoming homely touches, like tea, coffee and biscuits. Whenever we return to Weymouth we will certainly check if Rupert cottage is free.

“A few things need updating but overall very good”

- Ian, September 2023
Julie August 2023

“This property is in a great location, walking distance into the town.”

Great places to eat and a fabulous Vegetarian cafe. Parking in a secure place is also an added bonus. If I could recommend that the owners purchase some new towels the ones we had were past their best. We would stay again.

- Julie, August 2023
Jayne August 2023

“Rupert Cottage was a wonderful place to stay.”

It was perfectly situated close to the Harbour for all the cafes ,bars and restaurants. It was exceptionally clean and all the beds were comfortable. Having the stereo system was lovely and the living space and L shaped sofa made evenings in like a home from home. We enjoyed and have already booked again for next year! We highly recommend this little gem .

- Jayne, August 2023
Helen July 2023

“It's the second time we've stayed st rupert cottage.”

Accommodation as listed perfectly comfortable. Ideal location, in walking distance to the town and beach. Lots in the local area for walks and days out for adults and children. Bonus is secure parking.

- Helen, July 2023
Bernice July 2023

“We had a super time based at Rupert Cottage.”

It is so conveniently situated for walking everywhere. The cottage was clean and very comfortable. Plenty of crockery and cutlery so could use dishwasher without running out of equipment. Downstairs WC as well as 2 bathrooms upstairs - great little cottage and would highly recommend. Weymouth is a beautiful town and many good places to visit within reasonable distance. Great bus services too.

- Bernice, July 2023
Andrea July 2023

“We had an amazing stay in Rupert Cottage, so close to the harbour, so east to walk everywhere and know that your car is safe.”

Cottage had everything you could need to enjoy our holiday. Easy to locate. Beautiful converted stable.

- Andrea, July 2023
Paul October 2022

“Lovely stay at Rupert Cottage, clean and comfortable.”

Excellent location and having secure parking was a bonus.

- Lesley, September 2022
Shaun July 2022

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful, well placed cottage.”

The property was lovely and clean on arrival, and was easy to access following the provided instructions. The ample facilities and generous living space made for a relaxing retreat after busy days out, in and around Weymouth.

- Shaun, July 2022
Kathryn July 2022

“This was our third stay at Rupert Cottage and we decided not to go back.”

It is clean on the surface a deep clean and/or replacement of some things are needed. The bedding and living room furniture (although clean sheets) smelt of perspiration. The sofa and chair are particularly smelly as well as uncomfortable. Unhappy with the service; they should have come in and changed the bedding after one week and done a mini clean. Standards have certainly dropped since they sold out to the current holiday letters.

- Kathryn, July 2022
Dianne June 2022

“Beautiful, well equipped and comfortable cottage.”

Lovely location, and felt very safe.

- Dianne, June 2022
Sarah June 2022

“We love this location and the cottage itself was very comfortable.”

However, staying in bed past 5am in the main bedroom was difficult due to the sky light not having a blind to pull down and so adding this would be a major improvement. Our overall stay was enjoyable and we would return in the future.

- Sarah, June 2022
Sean May 2022

“Holiday Cottage was lovely and very quiet surroundings considering we were only 5 minutes walk to the harbour, restaurants and pubs.”

Definitely recommended Sykes to our friends and already looking for next year. Unfortunately we forgot to write in the visitors book, but really enjoyed our week.

- Sean, May 2022
Linda March 2022

“This is the fourth holiday cottage we've had in Weymouth over the last 3 years and absolutely the best!”

Extremely well equipped, two bathrooms that really worked, exceptionally clean and very tidy. The only (minor) issue was the sitting room sofa which transpired to be a set of 2-seater sofa bed plus a third seat and a chaise longue; the sofa bed bit was not altogether comfortable as a sofa.

- Linda, March 2022
Phillip March 2022

“We loved staying at Rupert.”

It is such a home from home and so cosy. It is in a quiet location and in the part of Weymouth we like to be in. We had such a wonderful stay and parking which is such a bonus in Weymouth now.

- Phillip, March 2022
Steve November 2021

“Lovely cottage, Ideal location, everything on the doorstep.”

- Steve, November 2021
Karen October 2021

“Lovely property.”

Great to have private safe parking. It is situated very close to the coastal path and it was lovely to be so close to the harbour, Weymouth and Newton’s Cove. The only downside to being so close to the harbour was the noise from the people returning back home at night from the pub. The neighbours were also a little noisy. The small bedroom backed on to their bedroom and the TV in their room was quite loud at night. We also felt a bit like we were in a goldfish bowl because the people opposite were outside smoking quite a bit.

- Karen, October 2021
Alan September 2021

“Just a little niggle no blind in the main bedroom for the skylight.”

Everything else was excellent.

- Alan, September 2021
Wayne July 2021

“Lovely location right by the Harbour with a selection of bars and restaurants close at hand.”

Having secure onsite parking is a real bonus, you can literally lock up and walk everywhere, you will find stops for the Land train and boat trips close by on the quay. The cottage is ideal for a family of four, clean with plenty of bed linen and towels. A great fully equipped kitchen with a wide range of crockery and utensils, especially useful to have a dishwasher and washer dryer. Very informative property guide and an array of leaflets for local attractions. Easy process for us to check in and out.

- Wayne, July 2021
Mervyn June 2021

“Overall very pleased with property.”

Only two criticisms, firstly was that having recently fitted new carpets the doors were difficult to open as the bottoms had not been eased. Also there are no blinds fitted in the velux windows and waking us very early in the morning.

- Mervyn, June 2021
Yvonne May 2021

“We had to wait a whole year to complete our plans for our visit but it was well worth the wait, the property was excellent (as all our Sykes rentals have been over the years) The area was both interesting and quite quiet, plenty to do and good restaurants close by.”

Would definitely recommend.

- Yvonne, May 2021
Patricia May 2021

“Had a very lovely stay, cottage well furnished and nicely decorated and comfortable.”

Just a small point to mention, in main bedroom it would be good to have a blind on roof velux window as we were woken very early by the light coming in. Just a small point really.

- Patricia, May 2021
Don April 2021

“Nice cottage, very close to harbour shops and Resturants.”

- Don, April 2021
Allison September 2020

“Very well equipped cottage with everything we needed, even a hairdryer which was a surprise!”

Great to have secure parking and a very easy walk to the harbour, shops and beach. Welcome Pack had 'tablets' which we assumed were for the washing machine, although no tablets for the dishwasher? but other than that everything was lovely. We would go back.

- Allison, September 2020
Gill September 2020

“Location of Rupert is excellent with just a short walk to both the old quay and coastal path.”

The cottage is probably one of the cleanest self-catering properties we have visited, with a very good compact layout. My only suggestion would be to have the windows cleaned outside. We particularly liked the secure undercover parking for our motorcycle. We booked this 3 night stay at very short notice and I was very impressed with Charlie, a very polite member of staff at the Sykes office, who dealt with the arrangements so efficiently and promptly and made the whole process very easy.

- Gill, September 2020
Madeline October 2019

“The cottage is comfortable with a lot of small, thoughtful extras.”

The bed was of a good size and comfortable. The WiFi worked perfectly and the kitchen was well equipped. The off road parking was an extra bonus. The cottage was near the town and Newton’s cove, we didn’t need to use the car during our stay.

- Madeline, October 2019
Sylvia October 2019

“Seven years ago we stayed in the same cottage and liked it so this year we decided to go again.”

Lovely cottage, lovely position, so safe.Three loos although there were only the 2 of us so often we need our one loo at the same time.Ridiculous. I would also like to add that Oct 5th was our 56th Wedding Anniversary. The only down side was the weather unfortunately,that is the reason we came home a day early.

- Sylvia, October 2019
David August 2019

“Lovely gated property, which are converted shire horse stables done to a very high standard with under cover parking for one car , we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in this cottage.”

- David, August 2019
Jane July 2019

“Extremely well presented and well equipped cottage, perfectly placed to be able to walk to the harbour and beach and the many shops and restaurants nearby.”

My only negative would be how light the bedrooms were! A skylight with no blind in the main bedroom and no blind and light curtains in the other bedroom meant a very early wake up call for us in the light summer mornings. If this could be remedied I would describe this cottage as perfect.

- Jane, July 2019
William June 2019

“Accommodation was excellent , location perfect , quiet and just around the corner from the harbour with everything you need .”

Weymouth is a lovely place to have a holiday .

- William, June 2019
Reginald May 2019

“We have holidayed at Rupert cottage for the past five years including time under the previous owner and the high standard of accommodation and cleanliness has been maintained.”

The cottage and it's position near the old harbour and Nothe Gardens make it a very suitable holiday location.

- Reginald, May 2019
Madeline May 2019

“This is a comfortable, well-arranged cottage within easy working distance of all Weymouth has to offer.”

When we had a small problem the team at Dream Cottages solved it very quickly.

- Madeline, May 2019
Mrs Susan Glynn Sep 2018

“Rupert is a charming little cottage in a wonderful location, close to both town and beach, but tucked away so it's not too noisy.”

Very well equipped with everything you need and more. Stayed June 2018

- Mrs Susan Glynn, Sep 2018
Mr Pearson Aug 2018

“We have stayed at this property several times and the standard of the cottage is just as high as our first stay.”

We had the best week ever in Weymouth this year due to the glorious weather. The location is perfect and as we do a lot of walking it is always nice to know we are coming back to a comfortable clean cottage. It is also within walking distance of several great restaurants, Crustaceans and Enzo which we can recommend highly. Stayed July 2018.

- Mr Pearson, Aug 2018
Mr Andy Stewart Aug 2018

“Beautiful cottage in lovely location.”

Everything needed for a stay away from home. Parking excellent, undercover and secure. Very close to Hope square and the harbour. Short walk to Newtons Cove. Stayed July 2018.

- Mr Andy Stewart, Aug 2018
Mr Jenkins Jul 2018

“Rupert cottage is very central to everything in Weymouth.”

The town with all its shops and eating facilities is minutes away. Rupert cottage was excellent with private parking etc. The cottage has everything required for a good holiday. Excellent WIFI and plenty of space. We had an excellent holiday and would not hesitate to return again. Recommend to all. Stayed June 2018

- Mr Jenkins, Jul 2018

Stayed September 2017

- Mr Pearson, Sep 2017
Mrs Susan Glynn Aug 2017

“Rupert cottage is a charming little cottage within easy walking distance of the town and all it's amenities.”

We commented right from the start how clean it was. And, it's in a little gated community so very private, parking is not an issue as you get your own space. Everything you need has been provided, from the washer/dryer and dishwasher to an iron and ironing board (it's a decent iron too!). There was even dishwasher tablets and fairy liquid in the kitchen cupboard. Definitely a home from home!- Stayed July 2017.

- Mrs Susan Glynn, Aug 2017

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: Guests are required to bring their own cot linen.
