“Great quiet location right by the old harbour next to Hope Square with restaurants, pubs, shop, Northe Gardens and the sea all within a short walk.”

Easy walk to the beach which is lovely. The house has everything you need. As the bathroom height is restricted very tall people may find the shower difficult to use.

“We have just returned from a weeks stay at Ocean Swell and another lovely holiday in Weymouth.”

Our comments on the property itself would be that at the time of booking, the property description detailed 3 cloakroom and WCs, one in the bathroom, one on the ground floor and one assessed externally from the patio. There was in fact no cloakroom and WC on the ground floor, which was one of the reasons we booked this property. We visited the Dream Cottages office twice to point out the inaccuracy in the description and on the second visit this wasn't altogether accepted but after an uneasy conversation we were begrudgingly offered a £50 discount off our next booking. We now see that the description has been updated to remove the reference to a ground floor cloakroom and WC. Please can you advise how we go about receiving the discount, as we have, as a family, already booked a property with you for next year. Other comments; although the property was cleaned to an acceptable standard, the shower tray was overflowing on first use and the reason was that there was a mouse sized hair ball in the plug hole. Once this was removed, not a pleasant job!, the water drained away no problem.The DVD player did not work, but this was quickly replaced with a new one.

“We needed a bigger rubbish bin - and there was no facility for recycling.”

Parking was easier than expected but a parking permit would have been useful

“Disappointed with the parking situation, it's very hard to find on street parking, a parking permit would be very beneficial.”

Considering you are giving extra time to the cleaners, to make sure the properties are thoroughly cleaned due to covid, we didnt feel this was the case, the floors were dirty (our white socks were black, the first day) I dont believe they had been mopped (surely it would have smelt fresh after a quick mop)? Also there were long black hairs in various places. The house smelt of Indian food even after leaving an air freshener on the doorstep for us, it still didnt get rid of the smell. The wooden plinth at the end of the bed felt tacky and not clean. For a family staying away for a week, I thought it would be beneficial for there to be oven trays and sauce pans for cooking?

“Ideal location suited us as a family with a 3 year old and a 6 year old.”

Wouldn’t recommend it for a less agile person due to very steep stairs up to first floor. Nice patio area outside safe for the children to play in . Close to local shops wonderful pubs and restaurants to suit all tastes. Had a very good week

“Very close to Weymouth harbour and shops, and a short walk to the beach.”

Parking spaces are tricky to come by, but we still managed to find a spot close by after returning each evening. Quite steep and narrow stair case to first floor which was a little tricky with young children, but we kept the doors closed to the dining area/stairs and was no real issue. Property was comfortable and is described accurately overall, and suited our needs just fine. We would happily stay again.

“The cottage I think could do with a deep clean lot of cobwebs & we had slugs in doors not sure how they got in!”

! The folder with information needs to updated lots of things out of date. It was a shame the garden furniture was NOT already out for us to use it was all covered up. The cottage did what we needed close to town easy to get too. The key safe of the wall is a good Idea. Dishwasher was smell, if not being used still needs to wash through now & again. There is a high-pitched noise we think was coming from the Wi-Fi Router in the front room & the master bedroom little bit irritant once you hear it

The property

Located close to the harbour and town centre at Weymouth Ocean Swell is a very well-presented cottage for up to 6 guests.

Only a short distance from Weymouth's popular beaches it is a good base from which to discover the Jurassic Coast for families and couples alike.

Ocean Swell can accommodate up to six guests in the three bedrooms spread over three floors.

On the first floor, with shower room, you will discover the two twin single rooms and the double bedroom is located on the top floor.

The stairs are quite narrow to both floors. The sitting area on the ground floor is huge, so you have plenty of space to unwind after an exhausting day out exploring the area.

On a sunny day you can enjoy an afternoon outside in the patio, relax with a good book and have a cold drink. Ocean Swell is in the perfect location for access to the Harbour, Hope Square and Weymouth's long golden beach.

Walk down to Hope Square where you will find numerous restaurants, tea rooms and pubs.

Stroll through the square to reach the pretty Old Harbour.

Weymouth’s award-winning beach has shallow waters which entice bathers.

Traditional beach attractions such as donkey rides, Punch and Judy and trampolines entice the children and make your beach experience more memorable.

With numerous activities available in Weymouth from boat trips around the coast, visiting the Nothe Fort or a day at the Sea Life Centre it is possible to have fun filled days throughout your holiday.

If the weather is not so sunny Weymouth offers a nine-screen cinema, ten pin bowling or indoor play area for the children.

A short drive from Weymouth you will find the beautiful and rugged the Isle of Portland with many walks inland and the South West Coast path surrounding the isle, if you feel energised maybe walk along the Rodwell Trail to Portland passing the ruins of Sandsfoot Castle.

West Bay with beautiful sand cliffs or Lyme Regis – pretty town loved by fossil hunting enthusiasts are both fantastic days out.

Travel East and you will discover one of the most photographed places in UK – Durdle Door arc and Lulworth cove. Ocean Swell is the perfect location from which to explore Dorset with family or friends.
