Buccaneer Cottage Reviews

We have just returned from a perfect week at Bucaneer Cottage. Wonderful position on the Quay to watch the boats . A nice spot with very little traffic going past. Walking distance to everything . Clean and tidy with everything you need for a great holiday including a bathroom for every bedroom. Couldnt fault it. We will definitely be returning later in the year .
We had a lovely stay at buccaneer cottage, it was clean and comfortable and the most perfect location on the harbour. Thank you for a lovely stay.
Great location and accommodation suited our needs !
Tarinna
We have stayed at Buccaneer before and once again recently for 2 weeks from the end of January to the beginning of February we really enjoyed it very much comfortable clean & lovely views A big thank you to the owner ,cleaners & every body involved with this house Mr D & Mrs T Bennett. Hertfordshire
Beautiful dual aspect harbour views from comfortable sitting room we loved the Christmas decslights too! Comfortable beds & bedrooms with 3 bathrooms so plenty of room and well equipped kitchen and dining area. We were lucky to park right outside with free permit provided as we loved the historic harbour & great pubs nearby as Weymouth has so much to explore with long sandy beach too!
Tarina
Wow what a property really enjoyed it . Really feel the buzz from Weymouth nearby . Thank you to the agent & owner to let us stay at short notice. Mr & Mrs D Bennett
Buccaneer Cottage is perfectly placed on the harbour. Near to the beach and the town with its pubs and eating places. Nothe Park and Fort are just 5 minutes walk away for the dog to exercise. Good size bedrooms and living area. We had an issue with the light in the downstairs bathroom which was fixed on the day we reported it. Cannot fault the service. Highly recommended. We would stay again .
Only downside was the dirty carpet as you entered the front door, suggest changing it to something more serviceable for this area. Location perfect would definitely come back and use again
This was our second year at Buccaneer Cottage . The accommodation suits us well and we enjoy looking over the harbour there is always something going on. As far as the amenities go there is a shop around the corner and a very good pubrestaurant at the Northe Tavern. For snacks and beverages they are many eating places overlooking the harbour. Plenty of walks and a trip into town is recommended. We will be returning next year.
Denise
Another fabulous week at the cottage. Beds and bedding are fabulous, so fresh & comfortable. Love the harbour views. Kitchen perfectly equipped & really appreciated the items left for us. If possible seating in lounge could be improved, current sofa and chairs look good butare not the most comfortable & only seat 5 out of 6 guests adequately. There is a long padded bench seat but not ideal after a long day out walking etc. we do love the cottage though & having a bathroom for each bedroom is a huge bonus!
Andrew
Lovely accommodation great location and amazing views. The cottage had everything we needed and access and parking instructions were simple and straightforward. The only downside was the steepness of the stairs to the third floor.
Fantastic cottage in a fantastic location! All the amenities you need. Bathrooms could do with a bit of an update and I think where it is a pet friendly property the carpets are perhaps retaining an odour because of this and pet hair was visible. This wouldn't stop me returning though as it's a lovely property!
Cheryl
Very disappointed with this property. Would not stay there again or recommend it but would go back to Weymouth as love it there but in a different house. No lights in upstairs hall or dining table but easy maintenance issue. On the surface it was ok but it needed a deep clean. Downstairs carpets were filthy as were mats in bedrooms. Ensuite bathroom and loft bathroom dirty. Toilet brushes were minging and shower heads, tiles in en suite dirty. Saving grace was first floor settee, carpet was new but everywhere else was tired, dirty. I knew there was no garden but could do with a clothes rack as would only put towels, bedding in a dryer not clothes. Location, parking permit and lounge are great but everything else not so good.
Darrin
Another lovely stay at the Buccaneer. Fantastic location. The new sofa and chairs are a welcome addition. There is now a seat by one of the lounge windows, so you can enjoy the views in comfort.
We have stayed at the property for a few years now, always a very lovely stay the house is everything we love. the improvements made to it are always really nice. This year new fridge, tv and carpets in some areas.
Fantastic place to stay comfortable, clean and will definitely use again.
Lovely location and good accomodation will book again
Graham
Cottage was exactly as described, however we felt that the late arrival and early leave is unfair as you pay for the whole day but only get the evening on arrival. Overall the house was pleasant and our stay was good, only recommendation would be to replace the blinds with black out blinds as we were all woken up early from the sunlight.
Darrin
This was our fourth stay at the Buccaneer. When we arrived there were a few cleanliness issues, the coffee table was very dirty, it clearly hadnt been cleaned, and there was dust on the tv unit. The whole cottage really needs a deep clean. The carpets are stained. The temperature knob on the shower, in the en suite bathroom on the ground floor has either broken or been set in one position, which means you cannot alter the temperature up or down. We found the temperature too cool. Although we were very disappointed by these issues, we intend to book the cottage again, this is due to the perfect location that it has.
Michele
Location perfect , house really nice everything you need , woukd just say the living room needs but of a face lift & furniture is needing a good clean replacement . Bedrooms looked like they had been updated bedding & quilts all brand new.
Overall, we all enjoyed our stay at Buccaneer Cottage and would stay there again in the future. However, there were a few minor details, one of which had been mentioned in the reviews back in July fridge door shelf, which we would bring to your attention 1 Arm covers on settee and armchairs were dirty and unnecessary. 2 We could not find the power cable for the DVD player. 3 One of the window blinds in the top floor bedroom would not retract easily. 4 Some of the doors seem to close quite violently, presenting a finger trap danger especially for smaller hands perhaps investment in finger guards might prevent the possibility of a nasty accident. The provision of a parking permit and an extra key was most welcome. We had 2 cars, but managed to find on street parking for the second one nearby without any problems.
Great location love it
Well positioned but Getting a Nightmare Cleanliness was not up to Standard
Jenette
The location of the property was fantastic but the cleanliness was below standard with dog hair on floors, lounge chairs requiring a deep clean. Vacuum cleaner bag was full and there was no bag left to replace. Roller on vacuum required significant cleaning as full of wrapped hair. Shower not draining in loft bathroom and required drain removing and again significant hair removed. Mould in loft bathroom. Unable to use boots door shelf of the refrigerator as it was broken so any bottles had to be laid down taking up significant room in the small refrigerator.
Lovely place great location, fridge door was broken had bottom tray missing so ... Lovely place great location, fridge door was broken had bottom tray missing so made it difficult to store milk , needs more crockery and cutlery so the dishwasher could be put on when full , some kind of squeegee for the walk in shower rooms would be a good idea, but those are only little things and our stay was brilliant, apart from those things 5 star
Darrin
Another lovely stay at The Buccaneer. Great location, fabulous views, good facilities, thank you
k Anthony
The property has all you need to enable a fantastic holiday and couldn't be better situated. It allows dogs but you wouldn't tell any difference to a property that doesn't.
The only downside at all was the pillows on the bed in the attic. Everything else was amazing. There were a few cobwebs here and there, but that wasn't an issue at all. I would definitely stay there again. Fabulous view and a lovely welcome gift of milk and biscuits on arrival.
Darrin
Great location, lovely comfortable cottage. This was our second stay at the cottage. We had a great week, and have booked to return again next month for our minimoon. We had a problem with the boiler, which meant we had no hot water for an eveningnightmorning. We called the emergency contact number and the problem was resolved quickly. Thank you.
Deborah
Fantastic location and comfortable as home from home. Very clean and all facilities a family needs for a fun holiday. Great that it is pet friendly, took our dog, child and a grandparent with us and we all had a fabulous time! Second time we have stayed here and will definitely be back.
We had a very comfortable relaxing stay at Buccaneer cottage. Arranged over 3 floors, we can see why the middle floor is the living area, lovely views day and night across the harbour. Thanks for leaving the menu and recommending The Red Lion pub which is just behind the property, we went there more than once and enjoyed the seafood and varied menu. Dog walks in the local park which is about two minutes walk were great for a quick morning or afternoon walk and there were many walks you can do of varying length including Chesil beach, Portland, Weymouth beach and a bird sanctuary to name a few. Lots of shops in Weymouth to suit every budget from small businesses to Marks and Spencer, and some lovely quirky shops with things you never knew you needed. Plenty of places to eat and drink. The Guerka restaurant was very enjoyable and The Crab cafe was very memorable. We were always nice and warm in the cottage and sleeping on the top floor gave us some additional incredible views of the harbour all lit up at night.
Stay here when old owner had it few changes furniture old but comfortable beds ... Stay here when old owner had it few changes furniture old but comfortable beds very comfortable nice touch with Christmas tree when we arrive milk biscuits heating on very welcoming Lovely stay thanks agin
Lynette
Excellent location with great views of the harbour. Good facilities with everything we needed and it was lovely to have milk, tea and coffee available for us on arrival. Chairs and settee are well worn but this adds to the authenticity of the house. It was clean and welcoming. We had a lovely stay.
Lovely stay ,buccaneer is comfortable just needs the oven fixing most likely the element and a bit of tlc ,still would book again .
Lovely location. Stained carpets, leaky shower door lounge furniture very tired. Despite this we enjoyed our stay.
Danielle
Firstly the property is in a lovely location and has lots of character. Let's get into the nitty gritty the shower in the ensuite in the downstairs double was covered in grime like it hadn't been cleaned for about a year, it had a toilet brush with excrement running down the sides and encrusted on the brush, the carpets smelt of wee and had big patches on, the walls had big patches of crusty paint and dirty hand marks, the blue chair upstairs smelt Victorian and of cigarettes, some of the furniture is falling apart. We went to Sykes office and showed them photos where they told us it wasn't acceptable and they would be contacting the owner. We then sent a complaint and have been told that ' the mess was made by us, we left the place in a state and left a fish in the microwave this was accidentally a fish and chips box regrettably. If I could put the photos on here you would see that the grime and excrement were not made in a day and the disgusting attitude of these owners is appalling I will now be taking the matter further to accuse us of the mess they have neglected is appalling avoid like the plague unless you want to catch the plague from the apartment.
Denise
All 6 of us had a perfect break at Buccaneer Cottage, we come to Weymouth every year & always book with Dreams cottages. Found Buccaneer to be another faultless property. Excellent facilities & superbly comfortable beds & bedding. Ideal location on quieter side of harbour with beautiful views. Grateful for parking permit for one car. Thanks for a wonderful holiday, so sad to leave!
Elizabeth
Wonderful location. Cottage was clean and well equipped. Lovely views over the harbour. Ideal for larger families, 3 bathrooms very handy.
Tracey
We had a lovely stay at the Buccaneer, the property was well equipped and had everything we needed, the parking permit was a bonus as we didn't have it last year thank you for another amazing stay.
