The Skipper's House

The house itself was immaculate everything you need Beautifully decorated.

The house looks small from the outside, but surprising big. Lovely little courtyard garden. Its location close to the beach and a10 minutes walk to the town. A parking permit would have made life a lot easier. Although long stay car park about 10 minutes away

A lovely cottage with good facilities in an ideal spot for staying in Weymouth, with beautiful decoration.

We enjoyed our stay. The following could have improved it: 1) the north facing bedrooms have thick curtains which block the sun well, but the south facing main bedroom (which gets the most sun) only has a basic blind, so is brightly lit from sunrise (5:30am-ish) which was tiring. Using the same blinds as for the rest of the house would improve this. 2) on arrival, the whole house, but especially the kitchen, we're full of flies, which made it unpleasant to eat there. I got no response from the property management when I tried to contact them (to request a fly zapper or similar) but fortunately their numbers dwindled after I installed a couple of fly traps and swatted several. The cottage generally seemed clean so their presence was a mystery - however, when I checked out and put the bin bags in the wheelie bin in the courtyard, I realised these had not been collected before our arrival as the information says - having so much uncollected waste outside the kitchen window almost certainly resulted in the fly infestation that we experienced. 3) while a waste bin and recycling bin are provided, there was no information available on how to sort recycling (every council, and even street, can be different) - we put our large cardboard and clean plastic in the green bin, but had no way of knowing how to divide it otherwise, so we ended up throwing away a full black sack of rubbish for the week (at home we only have a small bin liner to throw in general waste every 1-2 weeks). There were no food waste or similar designated boxes anywhere in or around the cottage so we just had to bin most of our waste.

The only problem we had was finding a parking space with a disabled bay as there wasn’t very many and with a partner who has some mobility problems walking long ways was disappointing but we loved our time in skippers cottage

Thank you so much foe letting us stay in your lovely house.

There was everything we needed. We would stay again

Overall the property was very good - lovely furniture and fittings which made for a comfortable stay.

Everything you needed in the kitchen and having the washing machine was a bonus. Only downsides were a general musty smell in the downstairs rooms, especially in the kitchen by the sink, and the outside solar lights were not working which was a shame as we had some nice evenings and would have liked to sit outside. We would definitely stay again.

Very nice house.

The only thing we missed were a little bit spices and more toilet paper. Thats all

Apart from an initial problem with trying to lock the front door, which was quickly resolved, the property was good and a short stroll to the centre of Weymouth.

Lovely cottage in good location 10 mins walk from station and sea front.

Bus stop at top of Lennox street on front. Looks newly renovated with new furniture beds very comfortable. Only one complaint the owner really needs to put blackout curtains in front bedrooms as street light right outside so had trouble sleeping.

Property was dirty upon arrival.

No curtains in bedrooms, front bedrooms on roadside are extremely lit up at night from the street light directly outside.
