• "A number of small points ."

  Two sets of keys would have been useful , particularly if there is more than one couple staying Loo paper very cheap and thin Kitchen roll would have been useful as there were no napkins Didn’t see any drinks mats Would have liked to be able to separate out the various recycling elements , putting everything into one bin felt very anti environment Maybe have olive oil/ vegetable oil left in the house Hamper was lovely Very well stocked cutlery and crockery , overall it was lovely. Great location .

  Thank you for the positive feedback about your stay at Safe Harbour over New Year. We will try to respond to suggestions that you have made but unfortunately some of these are outside of our control, for example the recycling issue, options about which are explained in our guest information folder.

• "Had a problem with over flowing shower tray in middle floor bathroom causing water to seep through ceiling onto bottom floor ."

  Reading some of the reviews I can see this is an ongoing problem . Informed dream cottages maintenance man who arrived to sorted the problem out . Cooker didn’t seem that efficient as some of the burners on hob would not say lit this and the oven seemed to take for ever to cook food .

  We are sorry to hear that you experienced these issues with the property during your stay but pleased that you had a prompt response from Dream Cottages who have now assured us that the shower and cooker are in full working order. Property Owner

  Everything you need on your doorstep. We tried many pubs but our favourite was the Red Lion in Hope Square. Great fish tacos! and great, friendly staff. We all fell a little bit in love with the house and would certainly return. The welcome hamper on arrival was a lovely touch too.

• "This is 3rd time we have now stayed in this holiday home."

  Location is perfect. Kitchen and main bathroom fabulous. Do feel it does now need a bit of freshening up though in other parts of property although property is clean. Have stayed in various properties in Weymouth but this is our favourite by far and we will be back again….

• "We so appreciated another fabulous stay at Safe Harbour (as well as the very thoughtful welcome pack from Dorset Happy Hamper)."

  Even with the bridge closed this month we managed to entertain ourselves with watching the world go by from the sitting room window, and we enjoyed some wonderful local walks and meals out at Crustacean and Rockfish. The only thing we could possibly request is a large non-metallic spoon or stirrer for when using the Tefal wok, as we couldn't find one. Otherwise there was (as always) everything we could possibly need. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful cottage with us again - we are already counting the days until our (fourth!) stay in 2023!

  Thank you for these lovely comments and for those made by other guests over the last few weeks. We are pleased that we now have many regular visitors who appreciate the house and its location so much. We will try to respond to suggestions that you have made and pass on your comments about the welcome pack to the supplier. Property Owner

• "Absolutely loved staying at Safe Harbour."

  The location was perfect, and the view over the harbour was amazing both day and night, even in the rain! We didn’t have to drive anywhere as everything we needed was within walking distance, the beach, Nothe Fort, the high street, and pubs were all within a few minutes walk, which is good when you’ve got a dog. Lots of lovely houses and history too. The property was spotlessly clean with a delightful hamper with the most important items needed on arrival inside….tea, coffee, sugar, milk and biscuits…those are the most important items after a long drive in my opinion. I would highly recommend Safe Harbour.

• "We stay year after year at Safe Harbour - it's a beautiful house, in gorgeous condition, in a fantastic position on the Harbour."

  The house feels like a home from home, my two boys love going to "the Blue House", and the fact that we can take our dog just makes it absolute perfection. We wouldn't stay anywhere else in Weymouth. See you next year "Blue House"

  Thanks to you and all our summer visitors this year for your kind comments about Safe Harbour. We are pleased that you enjoyed your holidays in Weymouth and loved the house, just as we do. Property Owner

  The location is perfect for all that Weymouth has to offer. If there is a negative, the dockside can be noisy,evening and early morning. This accepted it is a great place to stay.

• "What a beautiful house this would be my dream to own safe harbour I loved everything about it, in the centre of activities or a short walk to open space and quietness up at Nothes Fort."

  The house is very comfy and spacious, loved that it still has a court yard to sit in and not build on like some others along the same road. I would defiantly rent this property again

  We were blessed with good weather and, when we could manage to tear ourselves away from the spectacular views of the harbour from the sitting room bay window, we enjoyed some wonderful long walks and meals out at local restaurants - and can't wait to come back again!

• "Unfortunately the WiFi wasn’t working, the first floor shower was dirty and the first floor bed was extremely uncomfortable- it sags severely in the middle making it very hard to sleep in/on."

  Was a shame there was no iron or board at the property. We loved being so central and being able to watch the boats and people go by.

  We are sorry that you experienced a problem with the WiFi during your short stay. This has been investigated by the broadband provider and an intermittent line fault has now been repaired. The double beds are a zip-and-link type with a slight dip where the two mattresses join. Mattress protectors and toppers are provided for additional comfort and many guests have commented on how comfortable these beds are. Our cleaner works to a high standard and the house is checked by a supervisor before guests arrive, but we will raise your comments about the cleanliness of the shower with her. The iron and ironing board are kept in the laundry room as described in the guest Welcome Pack. Please note, Dream Cottages are available to respond at the time to any concerns that guests have whilst staying here. Property Owner

  There are no complaints at all. It was home from home. Unfortunately, due to an unexpected dental problem we had to leave a day early to attend an emergency dental appointment and from that we did not make an entry in the visitors book.

• "Only let down slightly by one shower not working and not being repaired during the week."

  We also asked for the double beds to be split prior to our arrival, which was not carried out until after we arrived and telephoned.

  We are very sorry the shower was not working during your stay. Unfortunately it broke down just prior to your arrival and whilst we arranged for it to be replaced as soon as possible, there was a delay in obtaining the parts. The shower was repaired on 21st October. Dream Cottages Property Owner

• "I spend a week at Safe Harbour with my Husband & 2 of our friends."

  The location was amazing, right along the quayside of the harbour & very convenient for eating out, shopping, boat trips, the beach & all within easy walking distance. There are also many wonderful places to visit by easy car journeys. It was lovely to sit in the downstairs window-seat & watch all the people, boats as well as the bridge bring raised & lowered. The property was beautifully appointed, furnished tastefully & there was everything you could possibly need for a fantastic holiday let. I can’t recommend it enough & we will definitely be returning.

• "We were absolutely delighted with the standard of Safe Harbour and couldn’t have asked for a better holiday rental - everything had been thought of to make our stay comfortable."

  Our only gripe is with the parking- if we went out during the day we had to queue to get a parking space in the Nothe car park. I was concerned about this before we went and on checking with your office was assured that in all of ten years they’d never known it to be full !!! Well - that was definitely not the case. Also - an admin error was the original key code we were given (and the one I had noted) was not the same as the one given out in later blurb. Frustratingly we had to go to Dream Cottages offices to sort it out before we were able to enter cottage.

• "Cleanliness not as good as previously experienced cob webs in evidence in some places."

  Contact experience was not as good as when we have previously spoken directly to Dream Cottage personnel, telephone experience with Sykes was disappointing.

  Thank you for your comments regarding the cobwebs. We have discussed the issue with the Dream Cottages team and have taken steps to ensure that this aspect of cleaning is always addressed.

  The house was everything we could have wished for. We were on holiday with our daughter and son-in-law and their five month old baby so it was lovely to have a "home from home" . The location was great. We stayed last year at The Ferryman so we knew we wanted to be in the old harbour area again. This was our third stay in one of your properties and each time the accommodation and location have been faultless. Thank you for your excellent service. Stayed April 2018
