• "Only minor issue was using the TV."

  Originally it would not select TV from the source list it kept looking for the TV box/hub. Getting the TV on was hit and miss. Then noticed Digital TV was switched off in the source list, added it in and used that for basic tv. Much better from there in. Casting to the TV from Apple or Android was the best way to view other stuff. Also WiFi code needs updating in the folder. We still had the correct one from last time we stayed. We had another fantastic time at Poppies and Weymouth as we have had before. Poppies is the ideal place for us an excellent place to stay. Sure we will be back in the future.

• "This was our second stay at Poppies, it was nice to see the new lounge furniture and the chairs with the footstalls we’re particularly comfortable."

  The overall cleanliness of the property was good and it was lovely to have a welcome hamper and milk on arrival. There was an issue with the microwave and the fridge but these was sorted straight away. Overall a very comfortable stay and amazing weather.

• "The property was amazing , the location was superb too."

  The hamper that was left for us on arrival was great and a really nice touch. The property was spotless and very modern , we could not fault it. It was a lovely property to come back to and relax after a day on the beach or exploring Weymouth. We cant wait to return. We absolutely love Weymouth and this property is the best we have stayed in for sure.

• "The property was exactly what we expected."

  The lady who came midway through to change the bed linen was very nice and friendly. She even took time to tell us about local attractions. We have booked with Sykes cottages many times and hope to continue.

• "Popped is a wonderful place to stay."

  It's very well placed, and having car parking is great. The decor is lovely and the whole house is light and airy. The only problem we found was that we had to clean the shower drain of a lot of accumulated hair which was preventing drainage -before we could have a first shower. Not a pleasant task. However this would not prevent us from recommending Poppies as a wonderful place to stay and we will definitely be returning.

• "This is an excellent property in a very convenient position withy private parking in a gated community."

  It was very clean and very nicely furnished. The only observation was no towel in the downstairs loo so we used one out of the spare unused bedroom. The Dorset Happy Hamper and pint of milk was much appreciated. We highly recommend this property. 5Star. Thank you.

  Need a thicker one for the winter. Fantastic house ! we have stayed before and shall return!

  Dear Graham Thank you for your comment, there are winter quilts in the wardrobe drawers, we will amend the visitor notes to this effect. Best regards Phil Morgan Property Owner

• "This was definitely one of the best holiday properties we have stayed in."

  The house is kept to a high standard, extremely well equipped and excellently situated. A particular thanks for the buckets and spades which we found under the stairs! Like others we were frustrated by the unavailability of recycling facilities but we appreciate this is beyond your control and will be contacting Dorset Council separately about this.

• "We were very pleased with the property overall."

  Just a couple of points - the shower needs a good clean around the base. We were disappointed not to be able to recycle waste, although we understood the instructions that the let was treated as a commercial property. In these days could not a case be made for environmentally friendly domestic waste disposal on holiday lets?

  The cottage is in a great position tucked away but near the harbour. Just one small thing, could do with a better mattress on the double bed.

• "Lovely cottage in a super location near the harbour."

  Very comfortable. Well equipped kitchen. Only negatives were that the heating was off when we arrived at 5pm so the house was freezing cold, and no tea bags or milk so we couldn’t even warm up with a cup of tea! Not a very warm welcome.

• "Overall the cottage was cleaned to a good standard but unfortunately they failed to do any dusting."

  We arrived at 5pm to find the cleaner had left her car in our space and did not collect it until 5.50pm which was not acceptable and we had to park in the visitors space instead. There needs to be a washer dryer especially when we had young children staying and the weather was not hot enough to effectively dry the clothes on the airer outside. The rug in the lounge needs to be secured as it is a tripping hazard We we’re confused by the arrangement of both bedrooms. Surely the double bedroom should have better storage, our grandchildren ended up with a large wardrobe, chest of drawers and tv which was totally unnecessary. The mattress protectors were badly stained and both mattresses need to be replaced as they both dip in the middle. It would be helpful to have clothes hooks on the back of the bedrooms and bathroom doors.

• "Cleaned to a decent standard except for a random jumper that was left next to the sofa."

  From reading the previous guests reviews it seems this jumper has been hanging around for a while. Perfect location for local restaurants and pub but it can get a bit noisy when the neighbours come staggering back. The fridge had a lot of water inside and the freezer was "sort of out order". The sofa and bed was very comfortable and the TV was a good size. Also free Netflix courtesy of Alison :) Dreams cottages were very helpful when we had to delay our holiday due to Covid.

• "The house was really nice comfortable and clean, right in the heart of the harbour."

  Really good to have a parking space right outside the house. Could probably benefit from a better sign outside as we struggled initially to find it, as it's not visible and behind some electric gates but all good

• "Poppies is a lovely holiday home and we found it very conveniently situated close to Weymouth's amenities but quietly located."

  We had two issues regarding the heating which were immediately rectified by the Dream cottages staff whose office was round the corner from us. We've been using Sykes for a number of years and have always had milk provided (even cakes and scones at some places) and spare toilet rolls and refuse sacks were left too, however these were NOT provided in this property.

• "This is our third year with Dream Cottages and have never found any problems and never found the ned to complain about anything."

  Your service is impeccable and the whole booking experience is faultless. Poppies, as was Melanies 3 years ago and Dolphin last year was spotlessly clean, the facilities and equipment available is amazing never having to request anything special to meet our needs. The location is amazing, the weather was outstanding, I do realise the Dream Cottages cannot do anything about that but this is the third year of good weather. The accommodation is ideal for getting about Weymouth and Dorset, it's roomy and quiet. Love it, if we return to Weymouth again we will definitely choose Dream Cottages to find our accommodation. 10 out of 10 for everything. Stayed July 2018
