  The property location was excellent close to everything and literally 1 minute to cross over the road and we were on the beach and in the sea.

  The beds were comfortable and the property was equipped with everything we needed. The property is quite compact in the main living area (smaller than I normally book) but it worked and was done to a high standard with slightly smaller furniture in the living area so everything fits. We used the washer/dryer a couple of times which was really handy, especially when beach towels etc need a refresh towards the end of the holiday. The fridge was a little small and we struggled to fit everything in it at the start of the holiday just after our food shop and some foods were touching the back of the fridge and freezing. We noticed a few cup rings on the side tables which were probably outside the owners control, but it is a shame as the furniture is nice quality and the owner provides plently of mats and coasters which me and my children used all the time to protect surfaces. The bathroom was small but nicely done but the small unit in there was starting to rust a little, this didnt at all detract but may need replacing in the future. Although street parking is very busy around the area the parking pass was a real deal breaker and I did manage to find parking reasonably easily everytime we went out and came back. I did book some back up parking just in case as Im aware of times when all parking is taken, but I didnt need to use it. The welcome pack was a wonderful surprise and very much appreciated - thankyou. The only thing that possibly could be improved at the property is the blinds. It has beautiful white slat wooden blinds, clearly very extensive, however these are really heavy to pull up when it's hot and you want to open the windows, it also looks like previous guests have tangled up or shortened some of the cords so they are very high to reach. Also they don't provide blackout and as soon as dawn arrives (5pm onwards) the light streams in through the slats and sides, so my children in the double room at the front were awake too early and towards the end of the holiday we had to swap rooms and put them in the double at the back which was a little more shaded. The downside of such a central location was that there was quite a lot of noise on some evenings from revellers on the sea front but also from the pub at the back, but because we'd had such busy full days we managed to shut it out and slept OK and it's to be expected in such a prime location. All In all it's a good holiday home done to a high standard and the location absolutely makes it. Thanks for a nice stay.

  The apartment had a great view of the marina and was fantastic, very spacious, clean and comfortable, and had great high quality fixtures and fittings.

  The beds in particular were really comfortable. The apartment is in a great part of Weymouth, very close to the beach and the historic harbour with all its great bars and restaurants. The on site car parking was the only thing that was really disappointing. You only find out when you have paid and receive the directions from Sykes what the real issues with the car park are, in terms of size restrictions due to the ridiculous 90 degree turn when driving in. I think this should be reflected on the booking page - onsite parking is only available for cars under 3.8 metres in length. Whilst it is mentioned in the reviews, I think the information page should also reflect this. We used the parking permit which required a 10 minute walk to the nearest car park available in the scheme, which caused problems as we were away with my 86 year old Mum. All the table mats in the flat are mirrored, so no good for putting hot dishes on, yet the rules in the flat state that you have to use the mats or you will be charged for making indelible marks on the table. I did speak to one of the cleaning supervisors about this and she was great - very helpful and interested in our experience and and really took this on board, including the unwelcoming tone of the "rules" board, so hopefully she has been able to rectify these issue after talking to the owner. There are a few other minor niggles, such as no coat hooks and no towel rails anywhere, particularly the kitchen, (though there is an airer available) and only one bedside light in the second bedroom. The other niggles were in the kitchen crockery and glasses etc which, considering the money spent on the furniture, and the cost of the apartment itself, all seemed a bit of an after thought. Thick wine glasses, no beer glasses, small mugs only etc, and no tray or cafetiere. Again, I gave feedback to the cleaning supervisor on some of these points and she took on board the feedback. But, apart from the carpark, these are minor niggles and are given simply for feedback, to hopefully be amended for future holiday makers. None of them ruined our holiday! The apartment was really great and we had a lovely time. It was particularly good for my Mum, who could sit on the Balcony in the sun and just watch the boats etc. She is now in love with Weymouth!

  Listed as penthouse 1 but failed to see how it warranted this .

  2 very small bedrooms and beds, with bathroom and shower room uncomfortably crushed. Nowhere to hang clothing, due to lack of hangers no chest of drawers but probably unable to fit into the rooms Small sitting/dining room with sofa(very small 2x2 seaters) on top of table. Kitchen very large in comparison, could have given some of this space (under-used by holiday makers) room to bathroom and dinning area. Nowhere to hang coats but there was a 4 peg coat hook in a cupboard on a shelf. Didn't bring drill and screws with us to put it up. Glass/silver furniture looked pretty but not suitable for a holiday let, especially as we were not to mark it and expected to leave it clean!! Only the fact it was on the top floor supposedly gave it penthouse status. Info left in apartment more about the rules on use and cleanliness, we wondered what the cleaners would be doing, when we were asked to leave it in the state we found it. Rules went too far. Not suitable for children, not suitable for anyone who wanted to relax due to the threat of charges that could apply if you didn't comply. Never had this in any apartment we have booked before. Wouldn't recommend this to anyone It didn't warrant the charge for the weeks use. Won't use it again we all wiched we had booked the place we stayed previously.

  In an absolute lovely position with the beach at the bottom of your garden ….

  .literally. It was lovely to open the curtains and see the blue sea and hear the gentle waves. We had a really nice holiday with everything you need around you and within walking distance, 10-15 mins leisurely walk to the town along the esplanade. Facilities in the apartment were good, plenty of cutlery, plates. cups, glasses, pots and pans. Sofas and beds comfortable. On first appearance our duvets seemed more like a blanket as they were very thin. However, we were not cold so they did the job (suspect maybe a summer duvet) but they did lack the comfort with being so thin. My only criticism really was the bathroom. The sink cabinet is too big or positioned incorrectly which gave you little room around the toilet. The bathroom also got very wet despite there being a fan which made the floor slippy. My personal preference would be a shower cubicle to give the bathroom more space but appreciate some people like a bath. I would have preferred a small tv in the bedrooms and maybe a couple of blankets in the living room and a bucket to go with the mop but again this is personal preference. All in all we had an amazing holiday in a great location in one very comfortable house. Weymouth is a very clean and lovely place to visit. We would definitely return and look forward to coming back!

  This is a light, airy, good quality apartment with striking furnishings and ornaments.

  The lounge has a great view over the harbour. The location of the apartment is excellent, being a couple of minutes’ walk from the centre of Weymouth. The kitchen is particularly large and has a good range of appliances. The bedrooms are snug, but have useful sized wardrobes with hangers but no low shelves. The welcome pack of a few tea bags and coffee sachets is the least generous we have ever seen. The sheet of information in the kitchen is most unwelcoming and makes the guests feel uneasy, in case they should do something wrong and incur a substantial penalty. There are no instructions for any of the appliances despite the information book saying that they were in the boiler cupboard. This meant a lot of trial and error when using the microwave. There is not enough crockery. You need enough to fill the dishwasher and still have some to use. Having a parking space seemed great until we realised that it would not accommodate anything bigger than a Mini. The voucher for a distant car park is useful, just hope it doesn’t rain. The lounge area would be improved by a smaller dining table, the present one is amazing but takes up too much room, as do the dining chairs. However, we did not break anything and had an enjoyable holiday.
