"The property was good with a lovely back garden."
Situated very close to town so ideal to explore Weymouth or visit the fort.
My main complaint was that the rubbish bin under the sink was left full and overflowing.
Also the dishwasher had been used but left for us to empty.
I would still recommend this property to others
Hi, thanks for your feedback and sorry this occurred. Our regular and brilliant cleaner was off sick and this must have been missed - apologies. Bridget

"A lovely property with everything one needs in a home from home holiday stay."
It is fantastically situated to access all local amenities; green area for a quick dog walk, beach, shops, harbour, Weymouth town and only a short walk away from the lesser known (but idyllic) sandy beach of Castle Cove.
We could not fault anything about this property and would 100% recommend a stay here.
Thank you for the little gift basket that was provided on our arrival - tea, coffee, biscuits, jam, sparkling drink - it was much appreciated after our journey down.
We shall certainly use Rockpools again for future visits to Weymouth.

"A great house in a great location."
The beds were Comfortable and everywhere nicely decorated with everything you need and with lots of little extras that make a difference to your stay. Games, books, extra dishwasher tablets, washing powder, kitchen roll, hand soap things you normally have to go out and buy. I was a little worried by the fact that dogs were allowed but there was no sign that any had been there. Garden was great. Very small thing could do with some new pegs. Will definitely stay again if we come back.
Thanks for your lovely review and so pleased you enjoyed your stay….will get some more pegs in! Looking forward to welcoming you back in the future. Bridget

"Rockpools is a lovely property, spotlessly clean and with everything you need."
The location was perfect for us and our two little dogs, exercise area close by and some lovely walks. The garden was a sun trap when it did show its face, we visited lots of cafes and places to eat all within walking distance, as was the town and beach. I think you would be cramped with four adults as the lounge area is quite small and the two armchairs are not that comfy.
Hi thanks for your review and so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Based on your feedback we have replaced the two chairs in the lounge and look forward to welcoming you to Rockpools again. Bridget

"This was our third year in a row for hiring this particular property."
The location for our requirements with the dog(Bella) is excellent. Easy access to Newton's Cove & Nothe Gardens, town centre & beach within 10 minute walk. Shops bars restaurants all close by would suggest checking out Sandsfoot Castle beach usually quiet this time of the year lovely for the dog also. House is well kept clean & tidy located in a quiet Cul-de-sac. Just one thing we would like to suggest is that the changing of the chairs in the lounge wouldn't go a miss, the couch is comfortable but the chairs aren't. The previous two years the chairs were comfy. Overall we both think that you can't go wrong with hiring this house, yes probably will be back next year around the same time(November) quiet easy to access wherever you want to go..
Thanks for your lovely review, so pleased you enjoyed your stay. We have now replaced the chairs in the lounge. Hope to see you back in November. Bridget

"Beds comfy and overall house was clean and tidy."
A good location to walk down into Weymouth. Not so good were the following. The two beige chairs in the lounge were too big, low, soft and uncomfy, need replacing. Bin under sink was found smelly and a bit dirty. Four light bulbs in the lounge were broken and the clock in the kitchen stopped working on Wednesday morning. The shower screens, bathroom titles and ceiling needs a good deep clean as black mold around. No anti slip mat for the slippery shower tray. Main things was heating we found was turned off at the boiler. Noisy neighbours, to the left of house from the front, disruptive one night from 1am to 2.30am, then an ambulance was called. Obviously the neighbour situation is beyond owners control but sadly it would put us off using Rockpools holiday house again.
Thanks for your review. In response to some of your feedback we had replaced the settee the week before you arrived and there was a delay on the chairs by a week so they have now been replaced, along with a much larger smart TV.. the extraction fan, causing the issue in the bathroom has also been fixed. Bathroom now all clean.

As we bring our dog (Bella) with us it's in the perfect location. The property is well looked after clean & tidy. The property is within easy walking distance to access the town & beach or explore the Nothe gardens plus coastal pathways out towards Portland. Comfort was only marked down as we didn't find the mattress very comfy; we fully understand though that you can't cater for everyone in this department.

The beds were very comfortable and the facilities are excellent, particularly the bathroom.
The location is ideal as it is within walking distance of the town centre where there are many shops and restaurants.
Just one suggestion - we bought fresh fish from Weyfish by the harbour but we couldn’t find a fish slice in the kitchen and the frying pan is so warped that it doesn’t sit flat on the hob.
Hi Nicholas, thank you for your feedback and I am sorry you found the cleaning due to dust not up to standard. I will feed this back to our cleaner to ensure we keep to our high standard of cleanliness. Also happy to purchase a fish slice and a new frying pan - I do replace it each year but we have been fully booked since Spring and not had a chance to do our annual deep clean and check all our equipment.
