  Loved the location with its sea views.

  I'm a people watcher so chose the apartment because of this! It is on second floor and has stairs up to it. There are apartments above and below it and gift shop on ground floor. Very central for beach , town and harbour and marina. Spotlessly clean, decor was modern and luxurious. All mod cons , shower was amazing . TV was top of range and added bonus of tv in bedroom. Kitchen was fully equipped , again brand new and modern. The colour scheme of grey and silver ran through to the crockery too. Coffee machine was a bonus. Tea, coffee sachets of milk and sugar were provided as was selection of condiments.Luxurious thick throws were provided to keep sofas clean. Loved the mirrorred style of coffee table, dressing table , bedside cabinets and wardrobe. Everything matched and lots of thought had gone into it. Lots of hangers provided for clothes and ironing board in hallway if needed. Hairdryer stored in wardrobe, saves packing one. The bed linen was crisp and white and pillows thick and bouncy. Heating was easy to control. Key lock was easy to operate. Welcome pack provided with operating instructions for all appliances as well as maps and leaflets on local attractions. Shops and cafes on doorstep. Bus stops right outside and timetables in welcome folder. Overall, we were absolutely delighted with the apartment. Communication by text from Mike was brilliant, very informative with a personal touch. I was confident that if I needed anything at all, he would guide and advise. I have already shared the details of this apartment with my friends and will definitely be looking to rebook soon. Thank you Mike.

  By far, this is the best holiday accommodation my wife and I have stayed in within the last 10-years!

  This sea view apartment has been renovated to an extremely high standard. All fixtures, fittings and decor are of top quality, helping to create a really luxurious and spacious place to stay, unwind and relax. The kitchen is well equipped for self catering. Although we tended to eat out most evenings (we are keen ‘foodies’ and there are so many great places to try out around the harbour), we did cook for ourselves on occasions and found we had all the utensils we needed for cooking. The welcome pack which has been thoughtfully provided by the hosts, offers useful information on the apartment to maximise all the accommodation affords, as well as what to see and do in the local area. Although there is no private parking spaces, there are a number of local car parks within easy walking distance so this is not a problem. The apartment is perfectly located to explore Weymouth and the surrounding area. We particularly enjoyed wandering the lanes surrounding the harbour as well as the park and grounds of Nothe fort and Bennetts Water Gardens (a really hidden gem). A boat trip out into the bay and round to Portland harbour helped to show off the wonderful Jurassic coastline … as well as a welcomed sea breeze when the heat become a little too intense! Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door are a short drive away and well worth a visit. We’re already considering when we will return for another stay.

  We enjoyed our break at Royal Terrace with the location being particularly good for access to all that Weymouth has to offer.

  The accommodation was reasonably comfortable and very clean. Having travelled for several hours we had hoped to find some milk to make a brew having read previous reviews but sadly we were left disappointed, still this is just a minor detail. Whilst there was an expectation to keep the property clean we couldn’t find any equipment apart from a small handbrush and pan but we managed ok. The property was well equipped but we feel anything over a week would be difficult as there are no facilities to do any laundry or wash the 2 towels that were provided. Car parking can be tricky but the owners provided good details on where to try and find spaces. There are lots of places to eat and drink within minutes of the apartment and local buses stop right outside so it is easy to leave your car and explore the surrounding areas. The beach is right across the road from apartment which was great thanks to the excellent weather we experienced. Overall apart from the minor details mentioned this is a great place to stay and enjoy a nice holiday in Weymouth.

  Lovely little cottage - probably the cleanest we’ve ever stayed in!

  Beautifully decorated in whites and neutrals - clean, modern and clutter free. Love the new rectangular dining room table too (not presently shown in pictures). Set within the grounds of the owner’s house, which meant we had full use of the front/side garden - with outside seating too. This was perfect for our children as they had a large area to run around in. The garden entrance is down a small driveway, so it’s no where near the road. At the same time, the positioning of the lodge means you have complete privacy from the main house. Osmington itself is absolutely beautiful - 5 minutes from Weymouth, overlooking the sea - with several secluded beaches - Ringstead Beach is stunning, just 2 minutes drive from the Lodge. The owner made us feel extremely welcome with local teas, coffee and cookies on arrival - even a pint of milk. We thoroughly enjoyed our week and wouldn’t hesitate to return - in fact, we’ve already booked again for next year!

  Although perfectly functional, this property didn’t meet, our probably high expectations of comfortable accommodation.

  If you are just using it for a base, apart from the bathroom facilities is ok. The accommodation is not particularly welcoming or decorated to a high standard. Furnishings are basic, although has a very well equipped kitchen. The bathroom is below standards, having no window to provide ventilation; the smell is quiet terrible and despite having quick showers, having the door open and the extractor fan on it still smells of damp. The shower itself is very low powered and had a tendency to shoot water out either too hot or cold without any adjustment of the temperature dial. There was a lovely outside seating area if you have the weather for it. Overall, a functional base for exploring a lovely coastal area and well placed however don’t expect any luxury comforts. Having stayed in many skyes properties we would not rate this as 4 star in comparison to other properties.
