Guests say
Harbour Hill is a well-received cottage, praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and thoughtful touches. Guests appreciate the well-equipped facilities, enclosed garden for dogs, and the cosy atmosphere. The location is ideal for exploring Dorset, though a car is advised for convenience.
The cottage is consistently described as very clean, with multiple reviews highlighting its cleanliness, contributing to a high score in this category.
The location is appreciated for its proximity to the Dorset coastline and Weymouth, though some note it's not within walking distance of shops and pubs, and a car is essential. The semi-rural setting is peaceful, but the lack of a footpath is a minor concern.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, with comfy beds and a cosy lounge. One review suggests the mattresses could be more comfortable, slightly lowering the score.
The property is well-equipped with a utility area, large bathroom, and kitchen. One review mentions the need for more sockets, indicating room for improvement in maintenance.
The hosts are commended for their thoughtfulness, providing welcome packs and dog treats. While these gifts are highly appreciated, it's important to note they may not be guaranteed for every stay.

From beginning to end we couldn't fault the cottage. Jeanette met us as we were opening up and there was milk, tea, coffee, sugar, dog treats and poo bags waiting for us - also food and water bowls for the dog. A huge box of firewood and kindling was also provided. Books, games and even a piano in the dining room. Three lovely bedrooms with comfy beds. Downstairs toilet - handy if you have an older family member or are toilet training 🤣. Would highly recommend - but please don't book October half term as all being well we want to come again next year!

Habour Hill really was a home from home. Spacious yet cosy from the generous entrance hall, ideal for storing outdoor gear to the cosy lounge with its soft furnishing and log fire which was set up for our arrival, especially welcome as the weather was a bit grim the day we arrived. The kitchen is well equipped and complemented by a large utility. The secure rear garden was ideal for our two dogs to explore. Three generously sized bedrooms and large bathroom with plenty of storage space. The house was clean and had everything we needed with a welcome pack of milk, tea and coffee and treats for the dogs. It was an ideal base to explore the southern part of Dorset though i would say a car is essential as the nearest shop and pub is some distance away and there is no footpath along the lane. Overall a fabulous place to stay and would love to return in the future as there is so much to see.
