  • "Lovely house."

    Beautifully clean and warm. We particularly noticed the cleanliness as we are not dog owners and are quick to notice dog hair! Beds comfy, showers worked well and kitchen well equipped. There were certainly enough cooking pans etc to have a Christmas meal! If there is to be any negative comment it would be that the oven was unusually small - so it was just as well we had a turkey crown! We were pleasantly surprised that a small Christmas tree and other Christmas decorations were set up. It was in fact the best house we have rented for years.

    Thank you so much for your positive feedback. We strive to make it as home from home as possible Property Owner

  • "Very nice house, comfortable, in a quiet location, yet within walking distance of the town centre and sea front."

    My only small criticism is that there is a lack of cooking equipment sufficient for a group of five adults and a child. There are few cooking pots, and those provided are small in size. Perhaps the owner could purchase some more larger cooking pots. This minor point aside, the house was excellent, and I would like to return for another holiday.

  • "We had a lovely break at The Chocolate Box, the house was very comfortable and we were lucky enough to be able sit outside under the lights on an evening in October!"

    We parked up our cars outside the house on Monday afternoon and didn't use them until leaving on Friday, everything is easily accessible by foot. Great pubs, cafes, restaurants & beaches just a short walk

    So pleased you enjoyed your stay. We try to make the chocolate box, home from home for everyone. We are so lucky that everything is walkable Property Owner

  • "We had a lovely stay at the chocolate cottage."

    Nice quiet street. Could have done with a dryer. Has we had to wash towels. If the weather was hot. Obviously wouldn’t need a dryer. But the weather wasn’t the best to dry the towels. When we got there some of the glasses needed washing. Also a dish had all porridge left in the bowl. I know that was obviously the previous guests that put it away with our washing it. I phoned about the washer door wouldn’t open. Some one came out quick. I would stay there again. Just hope the weather will be better. We have been coming to Weymouth for 7 years the chocolate box is the best house we have stayed in.

  • "Lovely house in a great location, quiet residential street, but only 10 minutes from the quay."

    Well furnished and equipped and appliances were top notch. All in all a lovely property, in an excellent location, I'm sure we'll be back.

    We’re so happy you enjoyed your stay. We really want everyone to feel like they are at home, as soon as they walk through the door Property Owner

  • "We enjoyed our stay very much, we would certainly recommend to others and would not hesitate to return (and hope to)."

    Just a couple of recommendations: a second lamp in the lounge to allow reading and to create a more cozy feel, plus to avoid using the main light, also some proper cereal bowls (rather than the picnic ones we had to use).

  • "The property is excellent, very comfortable, and a great location as it's a 5 minute walk from the house to the harbour and Town Centre, Ideal for dog owners as the back garden is fully enclosed."

    The only problem we found was the garden electrics would always trip the power and in doing so would trip the upstairs lighting, one of the switches to the left of the rear double doors is not operating correctly which may be causing the problem.

    Thank you for your feedback, we have only just seen this. We will get on to this straight away Property Owner

  • "Beautiful property everything you need."

    I recommend adding to the description that there is a washing machine as this may put people with young families off. I know I was nervous with a 4 month old thinking how am I going to wash her muslin cloths etc. Also the garden is beautiful feels part of the house another room, however, it would benefit from the cleaners giving it a sweep, wipe over and brushing the cob webs away. Also a foot stall in the living room to make it more comfortable to relax.

  • "Property is well presented and fully equipped for your every need."

    Patio area was really nice and with the outdoor lighting made the evenings a really relaxing time. Really close to the harbour/town and I suggest if your walking you turn right out of the property and then left down the alley and then turn right at the bottom and follow round, this takes about 7 mins…Overall I would stay here again as the experience was great and value for money…

    We thoroughly enjoyed are stay, in fact, we didn’t want to leave! If i were to say anything negative, and this is really searching for something, the bed frames on the top floor, do stick out a bit. so if your walking back to bed in the dark, you may walk into it once or three times!

Nestled on the outskirts of the popular seaside resort of Weymouth in Dorset, is this lovely three-storey house, The Chocolate Box.

Enjoying a prime location just moments away from a good selection of beautiful beaches and a wealth of attractions, The Chocolate Box is a superb dog-friendly dwelling for a group or family of six, plus their two canine companions.

Park-up on the driveway with space for two cars, before stepping into your new home from home.

Look forward to cooking up a storm in the well-equipped kitchen, with handy dishwasher, ready to savour a delicious meal at the dining table for six in front of the woodburning stove, or alfresco out in your private rear garden over a bottle of wine.

After dinner, retire to the sitting room where you can snuggle up and watch your favourite film on the Smart TV, as your pooch takes up their favourite spot in front of the woodburning stove.

Completing the ground floor is a handy cloakroom for your convenience.

Climb the stairs up to the first floor, where you can wash away the day in the beautiful bathroom with a soak in the bath or a hot shower.

On this floor, you will also discover two well-appointed double bedrooms with Smart TVs, one of which also has its own shower room.

Continue up to the second-floor, where you will find a spacious twin with Smart TV and charming views out towards the sea.

Explore your local surroundings, where you will find the remarkable Sandsfoot Castle nearby, with vibrant gardens, as well as the beautiful sands of Castle Cove Beach where you can bathe and paddle the shores, and the 2.1-mile Rodwell Trail for leisurely strolls with your four-legged friend.

On your way into the town centre, be sure to visit the fascinating Nothe Fort with its labyrinth style tunnels, delightful gardens and stunning sea views.

Weymouth offers plenty of attractions including the Pleasure Pier, fresh seafood at Crustacean and Rockfish, watersports opportunities at Weymouth Beach, a sea life centre and the popular RSPB sites of Radipole Lake and Lodmoor, sure to entice any wildlife enthusiasts.

Make the drive over to Dorchester, where you can enjoy the attractions of The Keep Military Museum, Dorset Museum, Dorset Teddy Bear Museum, and the National Trust site of Max Gate, former home of the great literary, Thomas Hardy.

Further afield, you will find Bridport, where you can enjoy the delights of the Vintage Market, Bridport Museum, the Bridport & West Dorset Golf Club.
