“Pros- A gorgeous little apartment.”
Perfect size for me and my son while we moved house. Location was great- a moments walk from Newton's cove, the Nothe Fort and a short amble into town via the harbour. Kitchen was ideal with all the equipment necessary including a dishwasher and washer/dryer. Allocated parking slot. Very quiet area and easy access to weymouth. Comfy beds.
Bathroom was lovely with both a bath and a shower.
Cons- Extremely loud boiler which can grumble throughout the night, temperamental thermostat meaning the heating was difficult to control leading to cold evenings, very very poor wifi signal during peak hours (as it is shared with another apartment), TV only has access to apps rather than actual TV which became a bit of a pain with the poor wifi signal.
Thank you for your feedback. The boiler is a modern electric heat recovery one and the flat being a new build, is extremely well insulated. The boiler will prioritise the provision of hot water at the expense of heating whenever hot water is used for a bath/shower. This is exacerbated in the winter when the ambient water temperature coming in is very low, there is however a boost mechanism on the boiler to increase the hot water heating provision so that takes less time to get up to temperature and the boiler can then get back to heating. The boiler is located in a cupboard in the inner hallway and only makes any noise when the fan/compressor is running, we are not aware of any other guest finding it a problem but note your comments. The wi-fi provision is shared with the next door flat however this too is only a small flat and therefore the number of users on at any one time is unlikely to have any negative effect on latency, this set up has been successfully running for many years now. We are paying for the maximum internet speed that the current local infrastructure allows for. The TV does have access to a full range of TV channels, this is done via the built in satellite receiver in the TV. Upon checking, unfortunately someone had gone into the receiver settings in the TV setup menu and changed them to aerial - this has been put back to how it should be now and all the channels are there. Had you contacted the local agency (less than 5 mins walk away) they could have easily boosted the boiler, sorted out the TV and run a speed check on the internet just to make sure there was no issue there with the provider.
