Weymouth Seaside House, Weymouth

We stayed at this property for three nights while competing in the Weymouth Ironman, and its location was excellent. Being so close to the town centre, seafront and event facilities made it an ideal base for our group. On arrival, however, our first impression was not the best, as the front of the property was dominated by around eight waste bins, which made the entrance feel unwelcoming. The house itself was clean and comfortable, but with a little more care and attention it could be significantly improved. We had planned to cook meals during our stay, but the kitchen equipment was surprisingly limited for a property that accommodates up to nine guests. There was only one saucepan and no baking trays, making meal preparation difficult, although there was a large Le Creuset casserole dish available. While there was plenty of crockery, the kitchen lacked some of the basic items most groups would expect when selfcatering. It also felt as though several items had been stored in the property simply because there was nowhere else for them to go. Examples included a gaming chair in one of the bedrooms and a broken table football game. Removing some of these unnecessary items would help the house feel more spacious and better maintained. Overall, the property's biggest strength is its fantastic location. With a little decluttering and greater attention to the kitchen facilities and presentation, it could be an excellent place to stay.

The house has great potential thanks to its size and excellent location near the sea. There is plenty of space, the beds are very comfortable, and the bed linen and towels were clean and fresh, which we really appreciated. However, the property clearly needs renovation and better maintenance. In the kitchen there are visible signs of water damage, which not only looks unpleasant but is also starting to develop mold. All the dishes had to be washed before use as they were not clean. There were also no sharp knives available, apart from a cleaver, which made cooking difficult. In the bathroom and one of the toilets, the windows cannot be properly closed, which is concerning. On a positive note, the lady taking care of the house was absolutely wonderful very kind, warm, and extremely helpful throughout our stay. Overall, this place could be amazing with some improvements, but in its current condition it falls short of expectations.

The house is in a really good location, with everything needed within walking distance. The rooms are a good size, and the bedrooms were comfortable. Parking may be more difficult than expected. Although the description mentions roadside parking subject to availability, the surrounding roads require permits. We parked at the Swannery car park, which was around a fiveminute walk away and reasonably convenient. The property description states there is a shower with WC however, the WC is separate and located on the floor below. This meant there was no toilet on the top floor despite three bedrooms being there. The stairs are quite steep, which made nighttime trips to the toilet more challenging, especially for children. The topfloor shower ran cold throughout the stay. The shower, WC, and bathroom areas did not have locks, while the downstairs toilet did. There were nine of us staying, but only six seats were available at the dining table, meaning we couldnt all eat together. There is a breakfast bar for three in the kitchen, although this is separated from the table by a wall. The kitchen could be better equipped. Items such as a tin opener, bottle opener, suitable chopping knives, and baking trays were missing. Despite these points, none of the issues significantly impacted our stay, and we still had a lovely time overall.

This house was as presented by the cottage company. Its a nice bright house very well located for the town and beach, and very close to the train station. It was very clean with lovely bright spaces, clean white linen and comfy beds. The kitchendining area was good for families. We were 4 women who came to swim and use the bars and rsstaurants. For us it worked brilliantly despite pretty bad weather. Big lounge, comfy sofa and giant blanket! When I reported something broken on arrival the owner responded virtually immediately. We had a lovely stay for the weekend in Weymouth. I always book with Sykes and never have any issues so trust this company.
