    “THE POSITIVES: Lovely comfy beds with nice linen.”

    Good location with invaluable off-road parking. Spacious and airy. Good shower. Very reasonable booking fee (early May). THE NEGATIVES: We arrived to a kitchen flood from the ceiling (emailed Sykes). Apartment not clean, in many areas. We cleaned the table cloth, dining chairs, sofa surfaces, toilet brush, and kitchen areas. Would have used the hoover, but bag was full, and it smelled dreadful when running it. Poor security from Yale lock - its internal spring is broken, so it only just enters ...

    Good location with invaluable off-road parking. Spacious and airy. Good shower. Very reasonable booking fee (early May). THE NEGATIVES: We arrived to a kitchen flood from the ceiling (emailed Sykes). Apartment not clean, in many areas. We cleaned the table cloth, dining chairs, sofa surfaces, toilet brush, and kitchen areas. Would have used the hoover, but bag was full, and it smelled dreadful when running it. Poor security from Yale lock - its internal spring is broken, so it only just enters the latch. The key to the second lock is provided, but that doesn’t turn at all. (Frustratingly, most of the above are mentioned in previous reviews!). GENERAL: the folder needs attention. The TV ‘help’ paragraph, and the booklet is for a TV with integral DVD, which is not there. The present telly is a replacement. As is the heating controller and some kitchen equipment. But the old ‘Manuals’ are still in the folder. The toilet sometimes doesn’t stop its flush, and will run forever, unless the knob is pushed again, to ‘seat’ the mechanism. This could be a lovely apartment, if it had a bit more TLC. Been to nearly 40 Sykes, and never had one less prepared.

The property

Star Fish Apartment is situated in a quiet residential area about a five-minute brisk walk from the Georgian esplanade that hosts Weymouth's best attractions.

Star Fish Apartment is a first-floor property and can accommodate up to four guests in two bedrooms, so is perfect for couples or a small family.

The property has a cot and a high chair available. Once in the apartment, all rooms have a step free, level access.

A minimalistic, stylish interior with purple and blue detail is spread across the spacious rooms.

Large windows in the sitting area enable plenty of day light to flood in, perfect for you to be able to enjoy an afternoon read on the comfy sofa. The kitchen is well-equipped and compact, with everything close to hand to prepare a delicious meal for the whole family or party to enjoy. Weymouth’s sandy, award-winning beach is a short stroll away with traditional family attractions such as donkey rides, trampolines and ice cream chalets.

Adjacent to the beach is the bustling town centre with several high street names and quirky independent shops.

Alongside the traditional fish and chips, try out cuisines from all around the world as they can be found among many Weymouth’s restaurants, enjoy a relaxing supper or just a drink after sunset to unwind after a busy day.

To entertain you in the evening you have a vast choice - enjoy a movie night in a multi-screen cinema or test your skills in the Escape Dungeon. If you wish to explore further than Weymouth, venture East and you will find the glorious Jurassic coastline with popular attractions such as the famous Durdle Door arc, Lulworth Cove and Castle, Corfe Castle ruins with pretty village, amazing Jurassic rocks at Kimmeridge Bay, Chapman’s Pool and more.

Head West and you will find the pretty village of Abbotsbury with its famous Swan Sanctuary, Burton Bradstock with charming XVI-XVII century thatched cottages and West Bay with lovely harbour and golden sand cliffs. Star Fish Apartment is a perfect base for couples or families to enjoy a holiday close to the beach and explore Weymouth and Dorset.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
