Guests say

Barley Mews is a well-received holiday cottage in Weymouth, praised for its spaciousness, prime location, and stylish interior. Guests appreciate the proximity to local amenities and the coast, as well as the comfortable beds and well-equipped kitchen. The games room is a popular feature, especially for families. Some guests have encountered issues with maintenance and cleanliness, but these do not overshadow the overall positive experience.

Guests have had mixed experiences with cleanliness. While some found the property to be one of the cleanest they've stayed in, others reported issues such as dust, mould on toilet seats, and unclean kitchen utensils. The inconsistency suggests room for improvement in this area.

The location is highly praised for being peaceful yet central, with easy access to the harbour, town centre, restaurants, and the seafront. It's considered ideal for both families and older guests due to its convenience.

The property is generally found to be comfortable, with special mentions of the comfortable beds and spacious living areas. However, some guests noted issues with low ceilings and beams that could be problematic for taller individuals.

Facilities are well-regarded, particularly the games room and well-equipped kitchen. However, there are several reports of maintenance issues such as broken appliances and inadequate ventilation, which suggests that while the facilities are good, their upkeep could be better managed.

There are mentions of a welcome hamper and Christmas tree, which guests found delightful. However, as these gifts are not consistently referenced across the reviews, it cannot be confirmed if they are a standard offering for all guests. Therefore, while these touches are appreciated, they should not be expected with every stay.

    We arrived to find a Christmas tree in situ and a welcome hamper which really set the tone. The place was very clean and well equipped, although some of the cooking utensils such as the baking trays could be improved upon. The only criticism was that the two bedrooms downstairs shared a bathroom without a shower, just a bath. The cottage was brilliantly situated just minutes from the harbour. All in all highly recommended.

  • Terry

    Right In The heart of Weymouth with plenty of room for everyone. A real pleasure to stay in such a beautiful home.

  • Sheila

    Toilet roll holders broken. Kitchen top cupboards difficult to open. Shower in bottom bathroom would be useful. Nice location.Recycling bins would be useful. Radio and cooker hood not working. Overall a super place to stay, we all enjoyed the games room. Thank you.
