Guests generally find the cottage comfortable, with several positive comments about the cosy atmosphere and comfortable beds. However, a few guests mentioned issues with natural light and the steepness of the stairs, which slightly affects the overall comfort score.

The cottage had everything we needed and the photographs don't really do the cottage enough justice... it's a delightful place to stay. It was very cold outside when we visited but the cottage was toasty warm and we felt snug and cozy when we returned from walks with our dog on the beach. Thanks so much to our hosts who were so helpful and on hand with any questions.

Near the beach and town centre. The owners are nice and caring. There had been some maintenance work done and was not cleaned after. Also the windows had not been cleaned. Tony and Rosie are aware of this. Overall we had a lovely stay though.

So handy for getting to town and seeing Weymouth. The cottage owners were very attentive and supportive before and during our stay. I will definitely be back as we had a lovely time :-)
