"We really enjoyed our stay a real home from home."
We had a problem with hot water and heating but this was quickly sorted by some nice friendly staff.would have liked a hanging rail in 2nd double bedroom .right in heart of the town parking was a big plus.
Thank you for your feedback. We have now provided an IKEA hanging rail unit in the double bedroom. We continue to make improvements to the property and have recently replaced the dining chairs with IKEA furniture. Property Owner

"Great property a few issues with the curtain rail in the bottom bedroom as the middle support has detached from the wall."
Would have liked a radio in the living area to listen to music and a pizza cutter. Another parking space would have been great. That apart a great place to stay would recommend it as a very nice place to stay plenty of restaurants and pubs in a short walk.
Thank you for your feedback as it allows us to constantly improve the property. We have fixed the curtain rail bracket and ensured the curtain pulls correctly. Interesting the pizza cutter was missing but things do get thrown away accidentally by visitors, so we have replaced it. A few other items of kitchen equipment have also been added. The television provides an option to listen to the radio as many radio stations are included under its Free View listings. Property Owner

"This was a lovely clean , airy property with plenty of space for all our family."
The kitchen was well stocked with equipment , we could not ask for more. This is situated in a nice quiet area not far from the harbour and its facilities and easy to walk over the bridge into town or beach. Great to have the parking space so near . We would thoroughly recommend this property and would love to come again (sadly already booked for the same week next year) Regards Brenda Ward

"This holiday home is lovely and spacious, there were some ants in the kitchen but you can clearly see there has been effort to remove these."
The court yard at the back was lovely and allowed my children a safe space to play outside and the balcony at the front is the perfect space for outside dining. The beds were comfy the rooms were spacious, and the property was decorated lovely throughout we would definitely look at returning again.
Thank you for your excellent feedback. We have resolved the small 'ant problem' that was coming from one of the planters in the courtyard. Property Owner

"House is lovely and well equipped, the ant problem was rather annoying though."
Even after speaking to Dreams all that was done was another any trap added under the freezer even though we advised the problem was near the window. Annoying to be on 'ant watch' on a holiday l. They appear to be coming from the courtyard. Mirrors desperately needed in bedrooms for hairdryer and odd there is no wardrobe in the double room but is in both singles so maybe a little rejig required. Location is perfect, we have stayed in the next door property previously. Parking for one car and the second we parked in asda for the week so not a problem. Would look to stay again if ant problem could be resolved!
Thank you for your feedback. Mirrors have now been installed in the bedrooms and an IKEA hanging rail unit in the double room. The source of the 'ant problem' has been located and removed. It was a nest in one of the planters in the courtyard. We are sorry for this inconvenience and confident it should not happen again. Property Owner

"Stayed her in June and was so happy with the place."
Well equipped, clean and tidy and plenty of room. We were lucky with the weather and sat outside a lot but could have done with a Brolley to put up by the table. Mirrors in the bedrooms would be useful but I already see that this has been mentioned by other people. Great place to stay. Loved it so much we have just booked for next June
Thank you for your feedback. We have now installed mirrors in the bedrooms and have made other improvements to the property. Property Owner

"Lovely long weekend spent at Spindrift- would be great if there could be some mirrors put in the bedrooms."
I had to go downstairs to use the mirror in the hallway to dry my hair.
Firstly, to thank everyone for their comments as it helps us to improve you stay. There have been a couple of feedback comments this year about the need for more mirrors in the property. We will add some mirrors when we review and upgrade the faciilties at the end of the season. Property Owner

"Lovely holiday home and a perfect location in Brewer’s Quay."
We had a great stay with our two young girls, had everything we needed at the house and loved sitting on the balcony in the evenings. We would definitely stay again. The only improvement would be to keep out/remove the ants in the downstairs bedroom.
I am pleased to say that the management company, Dream cottages, reacted quickly to the 'ant' problem that has not reoccurred. To make sure this cannot happen again we will remove or replace the planters in the courtyard. Property Owner

"We were very pleased with the cottage: it was in an excellent position, parking was good and secure, it was spacious, quiet and basically well equipped - plates, mugs, glasses and cutlery were plentiful and of good quality."
There are not many places that can easily accommodate 5 adults but this place could, easily. Definitely a place that you would be happy to use again. I endorse all the positives, and add that it was generally clean and tidy, and very convenient for downtown Weymouth. Surprisingly quiet too. I thought it was clean and well equipped. Easy access to harbour too. I wholeheartedly echo all of the comments given. One of the best holiday properties I've ever stayed in. Clean, beautifully decorated and accessorised with stylish quality items. Fantastic position - quiet but right on the lovely harbour.

"Very nice house shame that there was not a Guest book to write in"

"Happy with everything thank you."

"Fantastic property, plenty of room very clean and well equipped."

"Spindrift was very comfortable."
Open plan kitchen, dining, siting room area. Good kitchen facilities, with outdoor seating area to the side of the front door. Great location on Brewers Quay. We really enjoyed our week stay, and we would stay there again. The only irksome thing is the TV is only connected to the internet (not to an ariel) therefore to watch freeview (BBC /ITV/ C4 etc). you have to navigate to iplayer/ ITVX/ C4 player. My parents found this difficult.
Thank you for your feedback on the TV. We have now connected an ariel direct to the TV so that normal watching of Freeview TV can take place without using the channel apps. Property Owner

"Very clean and well equipped."
Very happy with the stay.

"Beautiful property, well equipped and excellent standards throughout."
Loved the location, nice and quiet but with everything in super easy walking distance, and the security of knowing my car was safe however long I left it. The only extra thing that my teenage daughter would have liked was a full length mirror - she toured the house twice to make sure she hadn’t missed such an essential
Thank you for your feedback. We are very pleased you enjoyed your stay. Very soon we will be adding things to the property and it is a promise that we will add a full length mirror. Today, 12/10/23, we were at the property and pleased to report that we added a full length mirror. Property Owner

"Sorely disappointed overall living area not suitable for comfort as sofa is only fit for skip it is sagging and no foam and rock solid none of us could sit on it."
We had to stay out late to get comfortable seating elsewhere.Also dining chairs are not very stable they are just director chairs flimsy wooden ones, Television would not be able to watch unless you subscribed to channels could not watch live tv the single bed mattresses were also very hard, no full length mirror also no mirrors in bedrooms to dry hair and makeup I have never stayed anywhere where no bedroom mirrors available. Parking was very tight , that said the double and king size beds were very comfortable and the location was fantastic as I have used dream cottages many times without any issues I feel that spindrift is not to your normal standard I felt a little let down Kind regards
Thank you for valuable feedback, we are pleased you loved the location and found the beds comfortable. August 2023 is the first time Spindrift has been available for holiday letting. New beds and furniture were placed in the double bedrooms, all new kitchen equipment, TV and many other things. We are sorry you felt not enough had been done and of course it is unfortunate a new TV should need replacing after 2 weeks of use. I understand Dream managed the replacement of the TV very quickly and set up the subscriptions to TV channels. We will buy some mirrors and review the replacement of the sofa, and dining chairs, as we want all guests to be comfortable. Thank you again for providing your feedback. Property Owner

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!
