Very quiet at night. Parking can be tricky but as long as you donât bother with the one at the bottom of the hill (which isnât even listed on the council website and trip advisor reviews of it are dreadful) and use Asda carpark or council offices via the just park app thereâs no problem. Bit of a steep hill and steps up to the road where cottage is, so just take it slow. But managed to park right outside also. A couple of steps down to the road is marked as no parking so this makes a handy little load/unloading bay. The place was clean and a very well equipped kitchen but a bit tatty here and there, bumps and scrapes but this is because lots of people that rent places donât take care. The little outside loo is great when there are six of you but the door to it and the whole courtyard need some TLC. But having a table and chairs provided meant for a nice sunny outside breakfast. The stairs inside are very steep and there are a few stepâs around the house like up into kitchen from dinning room and lounge but only a few centimetres high and as the floor all one colour throughout I think it needs something to highlight the different levels. I tripped up on both when first arriving. Steps into front door and out to courtyard rather high. Iâm mentioning all this because I feel it needs more details about them on website descriptions, âdue to being such an old cottage so expect steep stairs and many different levelsâ It could possibly do with a second set of keys. The safe was also tricky at times to open and could do with a small light sensor so arriving home after dark we wouldnât have had to use torches on phone. Beds were comfy and linen clean, towels also. Shower and bathroom facilities were good. My only concern I had was in one twin room there was a tv, great to have as if you had a couple of kids you may want to put them in there. But the bedroom furniture was all glass mirrored and although looking very glamorous it could be dangerous. And on the bedside table between the 2 beds the glass was all chipped right along the protruding edge. It didnât feel too sharp but I think with a little bit of horseplay, as kids do, and someone falling on that there would be quite a nasty injury. I really do hope this gets looked at.

Das Haus ist geräumig, nett eingerichtet und bietet alles, was man so braucht. Das gröÃte Plus ist die perfekte Lage im Old Harbour, sozusagen in der "zweiten Reihe". Man ist nahe am Geschehen, aber ohne den Trubel. Die Kinder konnten sich nach einem Tag schon allein zurecht finden. Alles ist zu Fuà erreichbar. Toll ist auch ein Besuch am Fort Nothe. Das "Secret Garden" Café am Hope Square ist perfekt zum Frühstücken und der "Red Lion" für das Bier am Abend. Der kleine Londis Supermarkt um die Ecke ist günstig und hat bis 9pm offen. Wir können Ocean Swell auf jeden Fall jedem empfehlen, der mit Familie oder Freunden in Weymouth Urlaub machen will und Wert auf Platz und Privatsphäre legt.

We didnât have any problems really . Garden could be made to look better . Maybe put tv in one off the single bedrooms for the children. Living room was good space . Kitchen was clean and had everything we needed. Shower was good to . Parking can be a bit off a pain but we did manage 2 get a spot right outside off house on 3rd day . Over all yes we would stop in ocean swell again
