“The Gables is a beautiful properly in the perfect location!”
Right by the harbour, so close to the shops/ restaurants and the beach! We recently stayed with 2 adults, 4 children and 2 small dogs. There was plenty of room for everyone to sleep where they wanted (although typically most of the children wanted to share!) the entrance was welcoming with ample storage for coats/ shoes etc and even a double pushchair! We made use of the safety gate to keep the dogs/ younger children away from the stairs. The living room was comfortable and nicely furnished. The kitchen had everything we needed, the washing machine was very useful but we didn’t actually use the dishwasher due to mostly eating out. Three bathrooms was just perfect for 6 of us, 2 showers and a bath gave us lots of choice but we didn’t actually use the downstairs shower.
I’d definitely recommend others to stay at the Gables. It’s a nice spacious accommodation in the perfect location, not too close to the hustle and bustle but close enough to avoid having to drive!
My only negative would be the floors, we found them to be really dirty. Our children play on the floor lots and were so dirty just the first evening so my husband washed all the floors, the water was disgusting and had to be changed 5-6 times just for the kitchen/ living room, I feel like it hasn’t been mopped in a long time! But otherwise the bathrooms etc were clean. We only used a couple of mugs, bowls and some cutlery but found the mugs/ bowls etc were a bit dirty, but that could have been from previous guests.
Otherwise we really liked the property, my children enjoyed the games and I liked that there was books too although I didn’t get chance to look at them! We felt safe within the courtyard when coming in, even late at night. The coded gates gave us extra reassurance and the area was generally very peaceful. The location was really practical for walking to the Nothe, to the harbour, the beach or going to the shops, we parked up our car when arriving and only needed to move it to drive to Portland and when going home! We also ordered a food shop whilst there and found this worked really well. We all felt very sad leaving the Gables! Weymouth is beautiful!
