“The property was easy to find and the instructions to enter were easy to follow.”

The door has no deadlock key which would be beneficial, the area seemed very safe and quiet but it would be good to have just for peace of mind. The property itself had everything we needed tea and coffee were provided and washing up items. The towels were lovely big and fluffy. The house was clean throughout. A lamp would be nice in the front room. There were 8 of us and as it is a terrace it was a squeeze sitting down in the front room, but as we had teens they didn't stay long. The dining ...

The door has no deadlock key which would be beneficial, the area seemed very safe and quiet but it would be good to have just for peace of mind. The property itself had everything we needed tea and coffee were provided and washing up items. The towels were lovely big and fluffy. The house was clean throughout. A lamp would be nice in the front room. There were 8 of us and as it is a terrace it was a squeeze sitting down in the front room, but as we had teens they didn't stay long. The dining room fitted us all in fine. We were a little concerned about the parking but this was not an issue at all there is a car park very close by and the long stay is less than 5 minutes away the app to use it is very simple too. The house is very central to everything in Weymouth only a few minutes walk to the beach and all the activities. Its in a great location and being on a non vehicular street is quite quiet (seagulls excluded). All in all a great comfortable stay.

“Picardy Cottage itself is lovely.”

Close to the station, but down a quiet side street. Comfortable beds with clean bed linen and modern kitchen appliances. I would recommend a stay in the cottage, but I certainly wouldn't recommend booking through Sykes. There is no way at all to contact them to discuss any issues. The only option on the website is a whatsapp number, which is never replied to. This has made me decide not to book with Sykes again.

“Location for Weymouth - great Cleanliness - not the best, we had to put all cutlery and mugs through the dishwasher.”

Wrappers found under sofa etc Sadly the toilet downstairs needs tightening up, some plates were chipped. Bin isn’t big enough for house waste, I got up early and gave some to the rubbish collection people “luckily “ We did enjoy ourselves as a family, nothing to dreadful that stopped us having fun.

“House was lovely and very well equipped.”

The street could do with being tidier (I know the owner can't do much about that), there is no general waste bin outside the property so everything was to go in 2 small tubs in the yard which is difficult when 7 people are sharing a property. We had to clean when we arrived as it wasn't very clean at all (again not the owners fault) but definitely sykes problem as this is the 2nd time of staying in 1 of there houses and it not been clean considering the amount of money been paid it should be absolutely spotless. The location was good and close to all amenities without been on top of all the hussle and bussle.

“A really lovely holiday cottage, clean, comfortable, and well maintained.”

The location is quiet and well placed for all the local attractions. Our only point for improvement would be the courtyard, which could be lovely with a seating area as it’s a real sun trap.

“Picardy cottage is a lovely house close to all amenities; the shops and restaurants and the beach.”

It’s also convenient for public transport. The house has all the home comforts required for a great stay. A couple of things that would make it better would be bath mats and a hairdryer. Other than that it is a well equipped house. The beds are good quality and very comfortable. The biggest problem is the PARKING! It is VERY expensive to park in Weymouth. Parking is the same price in both the short or long stay car parks. We knew it was going to be expensive but it is £15/day! The train station car park, just a five minute walk is just £7.40/day. However, parking permits should be provided by the cottage to be able to park in the streets near the cottage. Please apply to the council for the parking permits! Other than this very expensive parking problem! It was a great cottage of a high standard.

“The only thing I would add is that it would be nice if you could provide a fan for each of the bedrooms as it would help in the extreme heat.”

Otherwise we had an excellent stay. Sadly we left my son’s new skateboard but hopefully we can get this back. Thank you

The property

Picardy Cottage is a charming whitewashed holiday home idyllically positioned in the heart of the popular seaside resort of Weymouth on a quiet pedestrianised road.

Hosting four bedrooms and comfortably sleeping up to eight guests in a contemporary yet homely setting, Picardy Cottage is ideal for a family or a group of friends who want to explore the region's many treasures.

As you cross the threshold into your new home-from-home, you'll be greeted by a handy hallway area, perfect for storing your beach gear and luggage away from the main living areas.

A lengthy journey calls for rest, so make yourself at home with a sumptuous seat in front of the television in the sitting room before heading to the nearby galley-style kitchen to prepare a hearty dinner.

Make use of the plethora of contemporary amenities provided in the well-equipped kitchen to rustle up some tasty treats and call your loved ones to gather together with a bottle of wine around the dining table to indulge as you recount the day's adventures.

To complete the ground floor, a family bathroom is located here, with a bath, overhead shower, basin and WC.

When day draws to night, climb the stairs to the first floor where you'll find two well-presented bedrooms, a double and a twin, along with an additional bathroom that again includes both an overhead shower as well as the traditional bath for guests who prefer to soak their tired feet in the tub.

For larger groups, the second floor provides a further two bedrooms, a double and a twin.

A short walk from your doorstep will bring you into the centre of Weymouth where you'll find a host of fantastic local amenities to assist with your self-catering needs, here you can indulge in a spot of pub grub at The Black Dog, savour fresh fish and chips with a stroll along the esplanade, or if you're looking for something a little more elegant, head to The Good Life Café for a spot of afternoon tea.

Keep the little ones entertained with a visit to the SEA LIFE Centre, where you'll come face-to-face with a fascinating selection of sea creatures, or head to the Nothe Fort and lose yourself amongst the labyrinthine tunnels hidden below.

Spend lazy days soaking up the sun and sand at Weymouth Beach, or get better acquainted with your surroundings and follow the South West Coast Path along the dramatic coastline towards the hidden treasures of Bowleaze Cove and Tyneham Cap.

Pack a picnic and journey to Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens, where magnolia and camellia blooms provide a tranquil backdrop for an escape from reality, or visit the remarkable collection of over 600 mute swans at Abbotsbury Swannery, once an 11th-century monastery.

Picardy Cottage makes an idyllic base from which to explore the delights of Dorset.
