Seahorse Cottage is praised for its excellent location in Weymouth, close to the beach, shops, and harbour. Guests appreciate the property's cleanliness, well-equipped kitchen, and cosy atmosphere. The sunroom and courtyard are highlights, although some mention the garden furniture could be more comfortable. Parking can be challenging, and the steep stairs may not suit everyone. Overall, the cottage offers a pleasant stay with a few areas for improvement.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests found Seahorse Cottage to be clean and well-maintained, with only a few minor comments about specific areas needing more attention. The positive remarks about cleanliness are consistent across reviews.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to local attractions, the beach, and the harbour. Despite parking challenges, the central location is a significant advantage, contributing to a positive experience.
Guests find the cottage cosy and the beds comfortable, but some have noted that the garden furniture and sofa could be more comfortable. The steep stairs are mentioned as a potential discomfort for some guests.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the well-equipped kitchen. However, there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as the key safe box and garden upkeep. These recurring issues suggest room for improvement in this category.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the host. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

Prepare delicious meals in the well-equipped kitchen and enjoy them together at the dining table for four. You may wish to read a book in the sunny conservatory just behind the kitchen, sit in the rocking chair, open the doors and relish in the sunshine! You will find two bright and spacious double bedrooms on the first floor, one of which has amazing views over the Old Harbour and Jurassic Coast. Have a lazy afternoon in the fully enclosed garden, while your kids play safely with the dog. A number of restaurants, pubs and local cafés are almost at your doorstep, where you can find a meal of your choice.

Weymouth’s golden, sandy beach is a 15-minute walk away from the property, where you can bask in the sun all day long if you want.

It was clean and comfortable and I thought the extension at the back was great, really well designed, constructed and light. Similarly the main bathroom was very well appointed and almost had an excess of washing and drying facilities! All equipment was first class and I've only knocked off one star because of factors mostly beyond the owner's control i.e. very steep stairs to the first floor, second bedroom had little room to move, the bed having no headboard and up against the window and difficulties with parking. The property is very handy for the harbour area and Nothe Gardens which are good for dog walking and the views towards Portland Bill. With the above caveats I would thoroughly recommend staying at Seahorse Cottage.

Well equipped, clean and cosy, family friendly, close to the old town, and the sea for the beach/walks. Would highly recommend, and would stay again.

Internet problems intermittently. Very comfortable bed. Sofa is soo uncomfortable and coverall and rug in sitting area was badly stained which detracts from the overall experience. Parking on nearby streets just about doable but may be a real problem at a busier time. Outdoor furniture tatty.
