From the owner

To have a great Holiday they say you only need 3 things sun, sea and sand but to find your perfect holiday base its all about Location Location Location and Duckling cottage is spot on. Just 70 yards to the left you will find the famous blue flag central beach and esplanade with its busy shopping area and fantastic pubs and restaurants for all tastes. To the right of the cottage is the picturesque swanary nature reserve which drifts into Weymouth's extensive marina and Harbour, a lovely stroll at any time of the year. The cottage itself has been brought back to life with a lovely clean airy feel but still retains many of the original character features and charm with the convenience of its central position. The cottage has off road parking to the front of the cottage for one car.

Weymouth has an all-round appeal to Couples and families with numerous events taking place most weeks. It also makes the ideal base for visits to the numerous attraction both in the resort and the surrounding Jurassic coast; it really has something for everyone.

The cottage is over 3 floors and can sleep up to 5 people; double in master bedroom, double and single in second bedroom. This 18th century cottage is quite small so please understand this when booking and due to the narrow stairs it can be unsuitable for immobile persons.

Please see relevant discounted price plans for up to 4, and 5 guests in the price Occupancy tables.

    Needs a damn good clean
    Oct 2022

    Lovely little cottage but very dirty would return but only after a deep clean. No wifi when we were there and advised no towels just before we visited even though it said there was on booking .

    Response from the owner
    Dear Guest Thank you for providing us feedback on the issues raised. I did reply to you personally on the 06th June to discuss the issues raised. I must apologise again for the cleaning and the fact not all the beds were not made for your visit, this was down to poor communication on my part. I can assure you this is not the level of service we expect for our customers and I have actioned this with the housekeeper. I am aware of the floor is worn in the bathroom and looks quite unsightly, We have had logistical problems due to the lack of down time slots to replace the floor and the availability of the fitter; this is now been completed. Its interesting to read your observation on the cottage description, its been on there for over 8 years and no one has ever mentioned the floor layout before. I don't agree we have been deliberately false in the description as this would serve no purpose and we do state in the description that the cottage is quite small and not suitable for people with mobility issues. I will take your views on board and make it clear in the description that the rooms are over 3 floors. Thank you again for providing us with feedback. Kind regards Mark
