Guests say
Pixie Cottage is a charming property with a prime location near Weymouth harbour, ideal for exploring the town and coast. Guests appreciate its cosy atmosphere and modern furnishings, though some mention steep stairs and parking challenges. The cottage's quaintness and proximity to local amenities are frequently praised, making it a delightful seaside retreat.
Cleanliness
Cleanliness has received mixed feedback. Some guests found the cottage to be immaculate, while others reported issues such as dirty finger marks, a mouldy bathroom, and items left behind by previous guests. The outdoor space cleanliness was also criticised by several reviewers.
Location
The location is highly praised for its proximity to the harbour, beach, and local amenities, offering a quiet yet convenient setting. However, parking difficulties and occasional noise from a nearby pub have been noted.
Comfort
Comfort is generally well-regarded, with guests finding the cottage cosy and the beds comfortable. However, some guests mentioned that the second bedroom's beds were too small for adults and the sofas were uncomfortable. The steep staircase was also a concern for some.
Facilities
Facilities are adequate, with a well-equipped kitchen and good internet connection. However, guests have suggested improvements such as bleeding radiators, providing non-slip mats in the bath, and addressing maintenance issues in the yard and with the heating system.

About this property
Lovely terraced cottage nestled in the coastal town of Weymouth just a few minutes’ walk from the Old Harbour.
Pixie cottage is welcoming you with comfortable furnishings throughout, open plan living area with kitchen and diner, where you can socialise and have a relaxing afternoon or prepare delicious meals. The bathroom is on the ground floor. The cottage still has its original staircase – steeper than most – leading to two cosy bedrooms. A tiny but charming courtyard (as shown in photos) at the rear of the property provides space for the table and chairs where you can sit to enjoy a drink in the evenings.
Even though the cottage is quite small, it contains everything you might need during your stay in Weymouth holidaying. The popular Brewers Quay and Hope Square is a short walk away with array of restaurants, pubs and cafes will allow you to enjoy a drink in the sun or get a warming drink cosy by a fireplace in winter.
Cross the Hope Square and you will reach the Old Harbour with several yachts and fishing boats returning from a fishing or sightseeing trip. You may see some crabbers along the harbour, if you fancy, why not to join them and have a fabulous afternoon with your kids.
In only a few minutes you will reach bustling town centre with a lot of restaurants, shops and pubs as well. The main beach is not too far away which has sand perfect for making castles and shallow waters for bathing.
Take a stroll along the harbour, Brewers Quay and the town centre, venture further along the promenade to Bowleaze cove popular with water sports enthusiasts.
A lovely day out with family would be a visit to world-famous Monkey World, The Tank Museum or Sealife centre.
Pixie cottage is a wonderful retreat in the bustling town centre of Weymouth for couples or young families.
The ever popular resort of Weymouth makes an outstanding year-round holiday destination, with a wide variety of attractions on offer, appealing to all tastes and ages. The glorious golden sandy beach with its shallow waters provide excellent facilities for all kinds of watersports, whilst from the picturesque, bustling harbour you can take regular fishing trips. A short drive takes you to Portland Harbour, and the rugged “Isle” of Portland, linked to Weymouth by the dramatic Chesil Beach. Visit Dorchester, Thomas Hardy’s “Casterbridge”, only 7 miles away, or take a journey along the scenic coastal road and call in at Abbotsbury Swannery and Subtropical Gardens. Alternatively, just head down to West Bay - the views of the stunning Dorset Heritage Coastline are not to be missed!
