“Nice location quiet only a few mins walk to the town centre and beach.”

Enjoyed our stay at the house and even got to see some dolphins in the bay that was near to us. Did lots of fossil hunting we found West Bay to be the better one to find them(don't forget to take a small hammer to crack the rocks).

“There were a couple of issues that we had get dealt with and credit given where it's due, the staff were absolutely brilliant!”

! And the Property Manager David was fantastic!! He was very precise with doing his job, so thank you all

- Mrs Buckley, July 2020
“The location of the cottage was fantastic but it is in dire need of maintenance.”

The water pressure upstairs was totally inadequate, meaning that the shower was little more than a dribble. Several of the taps didn’t work properly, one not at all. The immersion heater hadn’t been properly insulated, which made the bedroom next to it (the main one) unbearably hot. The bed in there was old and uncomfortable. More minor issues included the need to replace blown light bulbs and kitchen trim falling off. We had a lovely time in Weymouth and the location definitely made up for some of the shortcomings. The cottage was also spotlessly clean. But it didn’t make for a comfortable stay, was not up to the usual Sykes standard and we wouldn’t stay there again.

- Mrs Borman, July 2020
“Great place,beware of steps go out door.”

At night big thank you.

- Mr Final, December 2019
“Mermaid House was clean and comfortable and in a perfect location.”

Can't fault the staff in the Weymouth Sykes office, they were so friendly and helpful. We had a couple of problems at the house which were both dealt with promptly the next day. The shower in the bathroom didn't work too well at all. Also the only radiator that worked upstairs was in the main bedroom, which wasn't very good as the last two days of our stay it turned very cold. It could do with a rail alongside the front steps which were quite steep and a challenge for anyone with walking difficulties. Despite these comments we all had a very enjoyable stay, thank you.

“Bathroom needs modernisation taps need changing need to replace shower the one ...”

Bathroom needs modernisation taps need changing need to replace shower the one there very old think it needs electric one bath panel broken and needs a lick of paint through out

- Mr Mccormack, September 2019
“We have stayed at mermaid now for a number of years 2/3 times per year Quiet, convenient location However certain things could be addressed dressing mirror missing in 2nd bedroom cushions missing from seating in lounge uncomfortable seating especially tub chair.”

Needs some paint freshening in bathroom/hall .hope some of this can be improved before our Oct visit

- Mr Hollyman, August 2019
“Perfect location and a nice house.”

Lacked certain things like trays, coasters. Bed a little short as it had a foot board and curtains stopped no light coming in sorted by pegging a travel blanket over window. Parking bay number could do with repainting as I at first couldn't see the allocated bay. Overall a great holiday and as mentioned in a perfect location only 10 mins from the center but in a nice quiet area. I would go back to this location again.

- Mr Spalding, July 2019
“Good quiet property ...”

Good quiet property Plenty of plates mugs etc Bathroom and hall due for paint Tv could be bigger Too small for a fairly large room Needed on rainy days And some evenings

- Mr Hollyman, June 2019
“The cottage was exactly as we expected in a lovely location and the inside was very clean.”

Everything we needed was there and the Wifi was very good. The only disappointing thing we encountered was that the garden could be tidied up. The grass needed to be cut (which we did telephone and ask Dream Cottages to do and they said they would get it sorted and ring us back but we never heard from them - and the grass was not cut). Also the gravel from the edging was all over the patio and path and we did not have a sweeping brush to clear it away. We had lovely weather but were unable to enjoy the garden to its best. We had to give the patio furniture a good clean before we could use any of it. All that said we had a lovely holiday and would recommend this cottage and hope to go back again in the future.

- Mrs Walters, May 2019
“The house provided a very good base from which to explore Weymouth - so convenient being a few minutes from the sea and the shops.”

The house was comfortable and furnished nicely. The shower in the bathroom was basic though. Lack of water pressure meant that shower amounted to just more than a dribble and was not a comfortable experience. Fittings for hanging towels up were tired and dated and in need of rescuing. WiFi in the house was very good which was important with three teens in tow!! The garden was a decent size with a table, chairs and parasol and would provide a lovely area for partaking in a glass of wine in the evening if the weather was warmer. We visited mid April and all-in-all had a lovely time.

- Mr Vale, April 2019
“The house is in a great location to walk into the harbour and Nothe Gardens.”

Great for dogs with the exercise area nearby,and coast path running past. The house was a little tired...the bottle/milk holder in the fridge was unusable as broken, the towel ring near the basin in the bathroom was hanging off and the over bath shower was almost unusable as the water jet falls on the taps due to the low water pressure. If a little money was spent improving the bathroom it would improve the stay in the house massively. Also, the number 31 in the car park needs a re paint as it is barely visible, and it was only the fact that a local man was there that we found it.

- Mrs Morrison, April 2019
“We had a problem with the TV and reported it to the office and it was sorted the same day which was excellent”

- Mr Sawyer, April 2019
“Really enjoyed our holiday here, but think a new shower is needed in the bathroom.”

- Mr & Mrs Croarkin, March 2019
