What our customers say about their holidays

  We loved the location of this property it was absolutely perfect.

  We know Weymouth well but have never stayed this end before and we loved it. Literally have everything we needed on the doorstep which was excellent. The welcome pack was a really lovely touch, and the beds being made up and towels being provided was really helpful since we didn’t have to bring our own! The surprising thing is how quiet it is, since it’s a busy walk way with lots of pubs and restaurants and families crabbing but it was lovely and quiet all week. Bliss! The property itself is really lovely but there are a few things that would make it even better, the furniture in the living room is very old and not very comfortable. The small table is very wobbly! The booklet says there were basic cleaning facilities but in all honesty we didn’t find any that would have been useful to give the place a clean, we bought our own so it was fine but maybe consider checking what is available. The oven inside was spotless but the top of the oven wasn’t as clean, we didn’t cook often and gave it a clean ourselves but again it’s worth checking yourselves. Like I said I didn’t mention it because we didn’t cook often but if you are paying for the property to be cleaned then you need to be aware of something if it isn’t quite perfect! The key safe was easy to open when we arrived but I found it impossible to re lock it on the last day, in fact it pinched the top of my finger tip, I walked the keys back to the office and explained this and the lady kindly accepted them and said she would contact the cleaner. The cleaner was outside the property while we waited for our cab to the station and asked me where the key was and I said I literally just walked it back to the office, she said there wasn’t an office, I offered to walk with her but she said no. In fact she was rude. These little things did not spoil our holiday at all and it wouldn’t prevent me from recommending the property but I always like to be honest in the hope that you can make the necessary improvements.

  The cottage provided a comfortable stay.

  Excellent self catering facilities with excellent array of kitchen utensils. We were aware very quickly of a quantity of black hairs throughout the property. Especially noticeable on the tiles, sink and inside cupboards in the kitchen, the stool in the bathroom and throughout our stay we kept finding them. We did wonder if they were cat hairs but we specifically chose the property as it was a no pets property, due to my husband’s animal allergies so could not see how they could be cat hairs. After a good clean I seemed to clear the main offenders but this did make us feel uncomfortable and concerned at the level of cleanliness at the property and if in fact pets had been present in previous stays. With a little more attention to detail on cleaning this would easily be 5 stars for us as everything else was such a high standard. The accommodation size is excellent. The amenities are excellent. The double bed was very comfortable and after a clean up we had a very enjoyable stay. Parking permit was very welcome as the parking outside the property is limited. We were very impressed with Sykes Cottages reservations team.

  We loved our stay.

  The location is perfect - close enough to the beach and shops etc that you aren't having to drive every day; parking was largely fine; there was space to pull up outside to unload before parking up properly when there wasn't a space right outside; the view was wonderful (highly recommend an early morning coffee out in the harbour wall). We would have liked to have rated it more highly, but the cleaning and maintenance let the place down on first impressions, which started our week off poorly. The cooker hood was thick with dust, a big wad of tissue which had obviously been used for cleaning something had been left on a dining chair, there were crisps and medication on the living room floor, and a plug socket hanging off the wall in the twin bedroom, as well as lots of discolouration around the bath. I reported this through the Sykes app and had no response at all. When I queried the lack of response almost a week later, I was effectively told that if I wanted a response, I should have called. Not great customer service at all! But if it weren't for those points, we'd have rated our stay much higher.

  The property was lovely and clean and the welcome pack was very pleasant to receive.

  We would’ve liked two sets of keys rather than just the one as we had to put it back in the key safe Every time we went out separately.. The Twin bedroom was very noisy when they turned the extractor fans on for the restaurant just behind the property, and this should be stated in the details. We had a very hot week but couldn’t leave the windows open at night. Due to the noise of the bottle bins being emptied from the local restaurants., it would’ve been nice to have had a fan. No matter how I tried I couldn’t stop the floor from being covered with water every time I showered using the shower over the bath, I’m not sure what can be done about this, but I have to mop the floor every time I had a shower. Although these are concerns I had I would definitely book here again on our next visit to Weymouth. The location for us was perfect and to have a parking space was an added bonus.

  The cottage is beautiful.

  In a great spot close to the harbour etc. very spacious. Clean and mostly well maintained. However there was some damage to draws etc. The information needs to advise of the steep steps to the top bedroom and the small steps on the decking. It's very hard to get the suitcases into the property The tv in the main room is too small. The conservatory needs blinds. It gets very hot in the sun and that's the kitchen so eating at the table can be unbearable The pillows are too soft on all of the beds. The property needs an additional toilet. Maybe one could be installed downstairs. Or in one of the bedrooms Finally not a big enough bin or recycling. Family of 6 - we filled the bin and had 2 extra bin bags. A little note too. The cleaner was still at the property at 3.45 and didn't leave til 4.30pm
