Hops House

• "Great location, and bonus of having a parking space."

  Felt that the property could do with some minor repairs that would make it really fab. The shower holder in the top floor bathroom is broken, but what would be even better would be to have a standing shower option over the bath to make it more usable by the whole family. A number of the blinds are broken so you cannot open them, so if the window is open the blinds just keep rattling which made sleeping quite challenging. There are also window panes that need replacing as there is condensation inside the window. Nice welcome box and the milk was greatly appreciated. And sofas were nice and comfy :)

• "Hops House is in a fantastic location for exploring Weymouth and the Jurassic Coast."

  We found it to be the perfect location, quiet, but just a couple of minutes from the harbour and a short walk into town. The house itself had everything we required. It was well equipped, and comfortable. Private allocated parking was also really beneficial. The pint of milk and little welcome hamper was lovely to arrive to. It would have been nice to have a smart TV to be able to access Netflix etc, but we spent so much time out it wasn't a big deal.

• "Travelled with my wife, son and grandchildren."

  Found hops house a perfect location, just a small walk into hope square and the Quayside, or out the front door to a less used rock pool filled harbour. Hops house had all we needed, was well presented and as a group would certainly go there again.

  The 7 steps were steep and rickety in places . Otherwise the property was 1st class our every need was catered for the Happy Hamper was fantastic and having milk in the fridge for a cuppa was so thoughtful.

• "We had a wonderful holiday at Hops House."

  Our first impressions were how clean it was and so beautifully presented. Really comfortable settees and beds, good quality linen. The Dorsey hamper was such a lovely touch and made us feel very welcome. The location was perfect. Really near to Nothe fort and gardens and a lovely walk by the sea. The harbour has some great restaurants and cafes. Would recommend the T shop and the marmite cheese scones !

• "This was our second, or possibly third, visit to Hops House which was spotlessly clean and very comfortable, well equipped and exactly as expected."

  Ideally placed to walk everywhere around the harbour area, very quiet, perfect. The only problems are there is nowhere to put anything when using the middle floor shower - it needs a shelf of some kind; and the upstairs bath needs a shower curtain at the least, preferably a shower screen, to avoid flooding.

• "Hops House exceeded my expectations, it was a true home from home."

  I stayed there for 4 weeks and felt immediately at home. The house has a good vibe, it's tastefully decorated and well equipped with lots of wardrobe space, location could not be better. Dedicated parking was very important for me and it worked exactly, as described. The welcome hamper full of Dorset delicacies was a lovely touch and the contents was spot on. I reported a couple of minor maintenance issues which we sorted out the very next day - very impressive. The only minor suggestions I have: furniture in the twin bedroom is sparse, I would have welcomed at least a small dressing table or a tall chest of drawers, adding a shower screen in the main bathroom as it cannot really be used as a shower at the moment, and perhaps a smart TV. A couple of tips for future occupants: the main gate code also works for pedestrian access gate to/from Hope Square. If you like sea swimming, there are friendly groups of swimmers from 7.30 am in the morning at Newton's Cove - I'm a convert.

• "The property generally was very spacious and in a brilliant location."

  The secure parking was a huge bonus. It was very dirty in places eg bathroom radiator and the shower door was hanging off. As soon as we arrived we discovered the heating didn’t work so we’re having daily phone calls to sort this which was done very efficiently. Perhaps checking things like this before people arrive might be a good idea as it was cold some nights. The only thing missing was an internet tv in the lounge. Despite these niggles we loved the property and the location and would love to return.

• "When reading some of the older reviews I was slightly apprehensive about our booking but thankfully Hop’s House was as described and photographed."

  A bright, clean, airy house which was comfortable, well equipped and easy to live in for a week. Parking no problem. Lots of stairs and steps inside and out but the ability to take a short cut through the car park was a big help (especially with a baby and a pushchair). Great local walks on your doorstep and overall a great place to stay to enjoy Weymouth and surrounding areas. Abbotsbury subtropical gardens and Swannery make for a wonderful day out or two, if you choose to take your time. It’s true there is a bit of road noise in the early morning and evening but nothing to worry about.

• "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were blessed with lovely weather."

  As in the photos the house was light and airy. The sofas and beds were all comfortable with crisp linen and although still comfortable one of the twin beds was lumpy. As others have noted ,the blinds did not effectively shut out light,they also needed careful operation. However,being woken early gave us longer to enjoy Weymouth. We were pleasantly surprised by the lovely walks in the Old Harbour and Nothe especially as they began only a minute’s walk from the house. We would love to return.

• "We enjoyed our week's break at Hops House."

  We found it very comfortable and well equiped. We did however have trouble getting the heating to come on during the evening when the weather turned chilly and to warm up the towel rails for our shower before we went to bed. Even though we followed the instructions it seemed hit or miss. The shower water was not that hot nor very powerful. Certainly nothing like our power shower at home. The front left gas ring needs some attention as it would only light with a very low flame on the highest setting but fortunately it was not a problem for us. Booking a place with 3 floors was not a good idea espcially as there was not a toilet on the ground floor.

• "Excellent, well appointed and almost perfect."

  Would have liked a soap dish in the shower. The toilet roll holder in the shower room needs repair. It would have helped guests of our age to be informed that we could exit through the back door and go through Kellaway Court. The same gate code applies. It`s a long hilly walk for the elderly otherwise. Perhaps three floors could be a problem for the infirm. All said we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

  It is ideally situated away from the hustle and bustle of the town but within a few minutes walking distance of the beautiful beach, shops and Nothe gardens which has stunning views across the sea. It also has gated parking, always a big plus.

• "The mattresses in all the rooms are rock hard and not very comfortable."

  The kitchen is very tired looking with the laminate peeling of the unit doors. The TVs are very old and the one in the sitting room pixelates in parts. Most people now have smart tvs and want to access to Netflix or Amazon Prime on their own accounts. We are a family of 5 with 3 teenagers. One shower isn’t adequate and nobody wants to use an over the bath shower. The house was spotlessly clean but it just didn’t feel particularly modern or luxurious. Due to covid we had to rebook the house twice. First booking was at a reduced price which was about £750 or so which is probably about right. The full cost is simply unjustifiable.

• "Disappointed that the house was not fully cleaned on arrival."

  Dream Cottages offered to send someone in but it was 5.45pm on a Saturday so did it ourselves. The house is now dated and needs to be updated eg the kitchen units and the decor and sofas which are damaged. The windows need a clean and the gate needs painting. On the positive side, a good location within easy reach of the harbour and the shops and from the Front Door to Newton's Cove and to the Nothe Fort. Parking is tight, so don't bring a big car and reverse into the space. The 5pm check in on a Saturday does not allow a lot of time to resolve any problems before Dream Cottages close at 6pm and don't reopen until 10am on a Sunday.

  A lack of black bags, smelly drying up towels, lack of toilet rolls and kitchen roll.

Appreciate there will be no food and no coffee or tea, due to COVID. Great location for the harbour and beach.

  Good outdoor table and chairs but needed to be cleaned by us before use. Nice bed linen and towels. Well equipped kitchen. Property generally met our expectations. However a disappointing level of cleanliness considering we would have been one of the first to stay since lockdown ended, particularly dust which looked like it had been there a long time. Would benefit from some more mugs, a small amount of cleaning materials for bathroom, a tidy up of the garden and perhaps a small welcome parcel. Good customer service from Dream Cottages in fixing flashing light in bathroom.

• "The lack of recycling is very disappointing."

  We were advised to put all our waste in the commercial waste bin on site rather than the normal bins. The commercial waste bin was already full whereas several of the normal bins were completely empty so we could have recycled as we would have at home. It seems there is plenty of capacity for all the properties in the development. This development needs to get on board with recycling. Because of this we could not recommend it to anyone. We put our glass bottles in the glass bins anyway as these also were completely empty.

• "Hops House is positively huge and more than we expected in many ways; very comfortable if a tad quirky!"

  We made some very minor improvements - the mantle clock in the upstairs sitting room now has a functional sweep hand; the rinse aid compartment in the dishwasher is full (instead of completely empty); the cutlery is both clean and properly organised (having picked up a teaspoon with the 'bowl' full of grease which I only discovered when inadvertently putting my thumb in it! the whole lot went through the dishwasher). The upstairs bathroom xpelair makes a shocking noise when it starts up and then runs for half an hour or more. The radio/alarm in the 'master' bedroom didn't work. All issues reported verbally to the Dreams Holidays team who were uniformly delightful, very friendly and helpful. Biggest problem was the security gate giving access/egress to the courtyard. We reported three times that the automatic gates were not fully opening or closing, a particular worry on the Friday when we had to be gone by 10am on Saturday and my car would not fit through the partially opened gate (well, not without losing the wing mirrors at the very least!) at the top of a steep ramp, difficult to approach anyway in a heavily laden car. Sleepless night, working out exit strategies. In the event, somebody had sorted out the gates very early that morning because they were, thankfully, fully operational. A super holiday, very comfortable house, good secure parking and a two minute stroll from the harbour. Weymouth is wonderful, even if it rains 5 days out of 7 (but not all day!) - we walked miles exploring and paddling! So good, we've already booked to go back (to a smaller property in the same courtyard). Cannot wait!!!! Thank you to Dreams Holidays too for allowing us to change the dates for our second holiday without any fuss (bar a small admin charge).
