  • "Great location, a very short walk to the seafront with is many shops, bar and restaurants."

    The Mariners Rest is located in a quiet road. It has off road parking to the front of the property with ample space for a large vehicle. Inside we found the accommodation to be pleasantly decorated, clean and very spacious. With all the amenities you would need. There is also a small private enclosed courtyard to the rear with patio furniture. We really enjoyed our holiday here and would not hesitate to book here again in the near future.

    Shower very mouldy. We would not rebook.

  • "This is our 2nd visit to Mariner’s Rest and it was as clean and comfortable as the 1st time."

    Bonus you can walk to the sea front from the accommodation. I would recommend this holiday accommodation if you wanted to visit beautiful Weymouth.

  • "Excellent property clean and well equipped."

    Quiet neighborhood and only 10 minutes to beach and town.Couldn,t fault it. Only slight problem could be that it shares refuse bin with next door property and if a family of four were renting it could get overfull ,there was only 2 of us but we had a job to get our weeks refuse in.

  • "Very clean and good location."

    We would like to come back again. Thank you. P.S. There is no dishwasher. But there were 2 bits of dishwasher detergent in the kitchen. Therefore I thought there was a dishwasher, so I looked it for.

  • "We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return."

    However, the bathroom shower /bath needs a good scrub (I had to do this myself, before we could use it) Also, We booked because it was dog friendly, but when we cleaned the carpets on departure alot of the dog hair that was not from from our dog so the property could benefit from a stronger vacuum cleaner.

  • "We had a lovely stay at Mariners Rest."

    The house was well equipped with everything we needed, it was clean, a great location and I liked the little personal touches such as books,dvds & games etc. Loved that it was in walking distance to the beach. Local supermarkets were only 5 minutes away. It felt like a home from home.

  • "The cottage was clean and in a good location but lacking in a few amenities (toilet rolls, kitchen roll, cleaning products (eg bleach), condiments), yes these can be purchased by the occupants, but after staying in many cottages over the years, it’s the first time we have had to go out and get these items."

    The description is also incorrect, its states gas hob but it is electric. Only the small oven worked which made cooking difficult this needs to be repaired or replaced especially if a family of 4 were staying there. Suggest the cottage has a guest book so that guests can let others know what they found locally that could benefit them (good and bad). Despite all the above comments, we did enjoy our stay and would recommend to others, but the owners should take note accordingly.

  • "We enjoyed our stay very much."

    My only concern was that the garden light was on 24/7, and not "light sensitive" as stated. And we could not find a switch to turn it off. But it did not affect our enjoyment at all, it was just a waste of power for the owners.

  • "A really comfortable stay in a house that functioned just like a family home."

    This was by far the best equipped rental we've stayed in with absolutely everything you might need for a family. Large rooms, lovely outside space, which was very secure and perfect for our dog. Warm, well decorated and very clean. Fantastic location a 5 minute walk from the main beach with supermarkets very close by. We'll definitely book again. Just a few points for the owners to consider: - Would be great to have heavier curtains/blackout blinds. - An outside washing line would be useful. - We only had two toilet rolls provided for a family of four for a week, some spares would have been welcome.

  • "Lovely house, great location with parking and enclosed garden, close to beaches and shops."

    However let down by lack of cleanliness. My two year old granddaughter managed to find a tablet left on the floor and was about to put it in her mouth. Luckily I saw her pick it up and stopped her. This could have had dangerous consequences.

  • "The property was clean and quite comfortable (not a lover of leather sofas)."

    It was well situated and convenient for shops, large and small as the major supermarkets are all within a short distance. Walking was easy to Weymouth town and beach, even further if you wanted. A problem with the cloakroom light switch was fixed quickly. On the negative side the bath could benefit from grab rails we both found it difficult to get out having used the shower. A shower cubicle would be better. The tv is old with no internet access to access iPlayer etc. No DVDs so the DVD player is useless. All in all we enjoyed our week and the weather was kind.

  • "We enjoyed our time at Mariners Rest."

    It was comfortable, quiet and bonus a parking place. We liked it so much we have booked it again for June 2023. It was also good to have an outside space to sit relax and enjoy the sun. An umbrella for the patio table would be a good idea so you had some shade when the temperature rises to hot,hot, hot. Weymouth is a lovely seaside resort and we were only 10 minutes away from the beach.

  • "Lovely house in a great location."

    The house was super clean and had some lovely touches like the bottle of fizz and the Christmas tree and decorations. The only thing letting it down was the garage conversion that is halfway finished. Lots of rubble outside, that whilst didn't spoil our stay it was a little bit of surprise as we pulled up, to the point we weren't sure it was the right house. Also, not sure if we could park in front of the garage. If we had known prior to arrival it would have helped. Would definitely return.

    It would have been better to describe this as a single bedroom only and to have opened the second front bedroom. Either rent the whole house out or state the house is for 3 only and remove the second bed from the small bedroom. One of the lamps in this room had no bulb. I looked for a spare in the cupboard under the stairs but there wasn't one. We only had one smallish car but felt parking would have been difficult if we had arrived in two separate cars.
