  • "We had a very comfortable relaxing stay at Buccaneer cottage."

    Arranged over 3 floors, we can see why the middle floor is the living area, lovely views day and night across the harbour. Thanks for leaving the menu and recommending The Red Lion pub which is just behind the property, we went there more than once and enjoyed the seafood and varied menu. Dog walks in the local park which is about two minutes walk were great for a quick morning or afternoon walk and there were many walks you can do of varying length including Chesil beach, Portland, Weymouth beach and a bird sanctuary to name a few. Lots of shops in Weymouth to suit every budget from small businesses to Marks and Spencer, and some lovely quirky shops with things you never knew you needed. Plenty of places to eat and drink. The Guerka restaurant was very enjoyable and The Crab cafe was very memorable. We were always nice and warm in the cottage and sleeping on the top floor gave us some additional incredible views of the harbour all lit up at night.

    Good facilities with everything we needed and it was lovely to have milk, tea and coffee available for us on arrival. Chairs and settee are well worn but this adds to the authenticity of the house. It was clean and welcoming. We had a lovely stay.

  • "Firstly the property is in a lovely location and has lots of character."

    Let's get into the nitty gritty - the shower in the ensuite in the downstairs double was covered in grime like it hadn't been cleaned for about a year, it had a toilet brush with excrement running down the sides and encrusted on the brush, the carpets smelt of wee and had big patches on, the walls had big patches of crusty paint and dirty hand marks, the blue chair upstairs smelt Victorian and of cigarettes, some of the furniture is falling apart. We went to Sykes office and showed them photos where they told us it wasn't acceptable and they would be contacting the owner. We then sent a complaint and have been told that ' the mess was made by us, we left the place in a state and left a fish in the microwave (this was accidentally a fish and chips box regrettably). If I could put the photos on here you would see that the grime and excrement were not made in a day and the disgusting attitude of these owners is appalling I will now be taking the matter further to accuse us of the mess they have neglected is appalling - avoid like the plague unless you want to catch the plague from the apartment.

    I have stayed at the cottage many times , the Harbour views and location is great , however the local authorities need to clamp down on parking the down stairs bedroom windows give a direct view of the harbour but this year the only view had from this room was of transit vans continually parked in front of the window , there is a sign on the cottage wall outside telling No parking but the authorities just seem to let anyone park anywhere, will think again about coming back to the cottage, which is a shame

    The cottage is beautifully situated alongside the old harbour and just a short walk to the shops, restaurants and seafront. The property was clean, well equipped and comfortable. The parking voucher meant we were always able to park outside the property during our stay.

  • "Thank you for a lovely stay in Buccaneer Cottage."

    It was lovely and warm when we arrived on a very cold March evening. It was very nice that milk, tea, coffee and biscuits were provided. The facilities were adequate. We brought our own towels, tea towels and hair dryer, dishwasher tabs. If we stayed again, we would also bring some cleaning materials as there were none at all. The beds were very comfortable and the bedding good quality. It was also surprisingly quiet at night considering the bedrooms were on the ground floor and the property in such a central location. Our sleep was not disturbed once. Not even afternoon naps… As mentioned, it was lovely and warm on arrival but too hot for us to sleep. We turned the heating down at the boiler but then couldn’t turn it up again the next morning. However, when we called the office they were very efficient and effective in sorting it out. We’d like to say a big thank you to them for that. All in all, we had a very pleasant stay and would definitely recommend it to anyone who has a well behaved doggy. Our 1-year-old whippet Ellery loved his daily visit to the Nothe squirrels and crows which provided a fab opportunity for some prey drive desensitisation!! He also loved the seaweed!! We would be happy to come again. Thank you Kim & Derek

Parking was no problem at all, with the use of the parking permit we parked right out front for the whole holiday. The cottage itself is equipped with everything you might need, was clean and comfortable throughout.

We would highly recommend this cottage and are thinking of booking it again ourselves next year.

  • "Great location With easy walkable access to everything we needed."

    The property could have been much cleaner throughout. There was lots of dust on the 3 floors and the when we lifted the table runner on the dining table this clearly had not been wiped/cleaned for months so was not very hygienic. The bathrooms on all floors also needed a good deep clean. House had all we needed and Sykes Cottages were helpful when the WiFi did not work. Sykes Cottages could have warned us about the building works taking place in the house next door and the workmen vehicles blocking access to the property and windows. This was not the fault of the men carrying out the works who were all polite to us but the noise of cement mixers, circular saws, skips being delivered, trucks delivering building materials etc was not the sound of the working harbour we had expected. All in all a great holiday let down by a few simple corrections.

  • "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Buccaneer Cottage, (2 couples)."

    The house was clean, comfortable, spacious and well equipped. Even though we travel with everything including food and drinks, on our arrival it was nice to see a welcome pint of milk in the fridge and also a small box of biscuits. The property was well placed within the marina/harbour, lovely views and sunsets on an evening, even better views from the attic bedroom. We were very lucky to have good weather for the full week we were there. The harbour has an excellent fish and chip shop (Bennetts) which was only a 2 minute walk - absolutely delicious and plenty of them! There were ample pubs and inns serving food with plenty of outside seating areas (although we didn't try them) and Afternoon Cream Teas to be found everywhere! Asda was only a ten minute walk if you didn't want to take the car. An easy stroll in to the town centre with a good selection of shops, from the harbour front and across the bridge (5/10 mins at the most), and another 5 minutes to the beach. In the opposite direction was Nothe Fort and the lovely Nothe Gardens with lots of squirrels, carry on a little further round the coast and you come to Newtons Cove, looked lovely for swimming and with views across to Portland. We had some lovely dog walks around the area everyday. Also plenty of places to visit by car if you want to go further afield. The only negative issue was the renovation work going on at the house next door starting early morning, disturbing my parents who were in a downstairs bedroom. However, we were advised of this when booking so can't really complain, it didn't spoil the holiday and will be finished soon.

    This is the 5th time we have used the facilities at Buccaneer Cottage and as in the past have been more than satisfied. Unusually there were two small negatives this year, the first was that there was no spare key and the second that it was a puzzle that the cutlery drawer could not be opened without first opening the oven door, as this has never been a problem on our past visits I can only assume that a new oven has been fitted although this is not obvious. However, this did not distract from the fact that this is an ideal accommodation for a family get together, the harbour side location could not be bettered and the proximity to the nearby eating establishments and pubs is good and the impressive nearby Nothe Gardens with its walks and views is superb, add on to that the Weymouth shopping centre and beach is only a short walk away and you have the ideal holiday location. Once again, thank you.

About the location

BREWERS QUAY HARBOUR

Dorchester 8.7 miles; West Lulworth 15.8 miles

Brewers Quay is the old Victorian brewery situated at the heart of the harbour, in Weymouth, Dorset. Much of the grade II listed complex and surrounding brewery buildings date from the late 1800 early 1900’s and many have stones inlaid commemorating their construction year. This area is now a popular destination with many restaurants, café and bars, creating a vibrant culture, where you can relax with a drink and watch the world go by. Tucked away down the harbourside streets, you will find original Tudor harbour buildings, estimated to have been built in 1600 and well worth a visit, with a very interesting history to share. You will also find the Weymouth Museum, with some incredible exhibitions, and the harbour is also home to the lifting bridge, where you can watch the luxury yachts head out to sea, and then walk over the bridge to the town's winding streets of boutique shops and the seafront esplanade and beach. There is more to this seaside town than meets the eye; Brewers Quay is a much-loved holiday destination in Weymouth!
