"A very clean and well equipped cottage nothing lacking !"
Positioned near 2 pubs and a shop but remarkably quiet. We will definitely be back
-
"Listing was accurate and it is a very well appointed cottage."
Slight niggle with the key safe which I would say needs replacing as difficult to enter code.
-

Well equiped and thoughtfully decorated. Great space for cooking/dining. All appliances were in food repair.

"Lovely house."
Was a pleasure to stay there.
-
"We really enjoyed our stay at Harbour Tales."
The cottage is spotlessly clean, very comfortable and extremely well equipped with everything you might need for a visit. The location was perfect, being a few steps away from the harbour and a short walk to the town. We would thoroughly recommend a stay here.

"What a stunning property!"
Right in the heart of Weymouth town. A stone throw from just about everything. We can highly recommend the fish & chip shop on the harbour. I can honestly say we have never tasted fish like it….absolutely delicious. We were planning our return trip to Harbour Tales on our journey home! It has everything you need for a cozy stay. Comfy beds too!

"The house was ideally located."
The decoration and furnishings were fresh and modern. The beds on the top floor had rather hard mattresses but not so bad to not sleep o.k. The upstairs shower room is very small, workable but quite claustrophobic whereas the bathroom on 1st floor was enormous. The master bedroom was very comfortable. The kitchen/diner was lovely and well stocked with cooking utensils with plant of seating and also a.nice large fridge. The downstairs utility/toilet was fab to save us walking upstairs. We spent alot of time in lounge which was super comfy and although facing onto street was not very noisy. We found our stay very comfortable and have recommended to many friends. Parking was easily found around the corner. Thank you

Cottage was well equipped and very comfortable. Would definitely stay again.

"Generously sized property."
Nicely decorated and spotlessly clean. Has all the amenities and facilities that you could want and all well maintained. Busy (as you’d expect ) during the day but falls silent around 22:00. Lovely to receive communication from the owner just prior to our visit, shows that they care. Street Parking during the day is limited but a space usually becomes available mid to late evening

"Beautiful cottage, excellent location next to the harbour."
This was our third time staying here, and we’ve just booked to return next year. The new owners have been so welcoming and have renovated the cottage beautifully, it was immaculately clean and is perfect for our needs with 2 young boys who call this their ‘holiday home’. Weymouth is one of their (and our) favourite places. Looking forward to returning next year.

"Great cottage but would be better with a tumble dryer as not much drying room ."

-
"Beautiful cottage in a beautiful location."
I like Weymouth a lot and I would love to stay at this property again and of course the sunny weather helped us enjoy our holiday even more. 10 out of 10.

"The cottage is delightful and the location, right by the harbour, is wonderful, provided one is happy to park on the road, sometimes nearly 1/2 mile away."
The facilities are good and with two large bedrooms and two bathrooms, it works well for two couples. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and found the cottage clean and comfortable. The only things that marred our stay were the mattress, which was springy and uncomfortable, and the key box, which was very difficult to open and even harder to close.
-
"Lovely cottage, on the quieter side of the harbour within easy walking distance of all amenities."
We had a fabulous time in Weymouth.
-
"Fantastically presented house, in a great location."
Everything we could hope for was provided, and very appreciated. Rooms were well appointed, and immaculately clean. Nice addition with the outdoor space. Will definitely book again.
