Sailor's Watch

We have just spent 2 weeks in Sailor's Watch and it was the perfect place for an amazing holiday.

The cottage is close to the harbour and centre and had lovely views of the marina and watching the bridge open and close. The cottage has everything you need, the beds were comfy, and the bedding and towels were clean. The sun room and garden were lovely for relaxing. There was a parking permit, but the bay at the front of the property is no longer there. We used the North Quay car park at the side of the property, which cost us £88.50 for 2 weeks, which was ideal. Would definitely return and would highly recommend.

Excellent location for everything, the property was amazing and view spectacular.

It was like a tardis ,the rooms were very spacious and the outside is where we spent most of our downtime. We were lucky that for the majority of the time the weather was kind to us and the back was a suntrap. The kitchen had everything you needed and we did not want for anything. There was a folk festival the weekend we arrived and it was delightful, the only negative was the parking. There is no longer parking directly outside the property as they have put a new wider path and the zone l is further down the rd past the bridge which is always full. I parked in the North Quay car park next door to the property for £6.40 a day which is quite reasonable .The property itself could do with a few touches, possibly double glazing for the bedroom as some of the weymouth residents love their exhaust pipes and go up and down regularly at night. Also when the wind was blowing it was whistling through a window. A few bulbs were out and the wc handles had to be screwed in every day as they were coming loose. As I say the noise was the main thing but it would not keep us from booking here again as weymouth is a lovely town with a lot to offer and looking to next year to bring our grandchildren.

We loved our stay at Sailor's Watch.

The place was very spacious, comfy, clean and well equipped. The milk etc was much appreciated as we didn't arrive until late in the evening. Outside space lovely too, and location fantastic, many thanks

The property is lovely had everything you need and an amazing view all the small touches are great hand wash, loo roll, dishwasher and washing machine pods, teas, coffee and even milk.

Love watching the bridge open and all the boats come through. Not a negative but the only thing I would change would be the downstairs bathroom maybe adding a shower over the bath because would of come in handy but as said is just idea if ever. Thanks for great time. Definitely recommend.

Fabulous position on the harbour .

Not at all noisy. Great sitting in the lovely bay window watching the world go by and the bridge going up and down. We got parked directly outside with no problems. However I believe these bays are being taken away during the current roadworks taking place which is a great shame. Could definitely do with some maintenance on the outside seating area. Otherwise internally very clean,tidy and spacious and we would return.

Absolutely stunning place great location perfect for all our needs, close to everything shop, harbour, pubs and walks will definitely book again.

Great location.

Parked right outside with the permit. Lovely property. Very comfortable bed in the main bedroom. Will definitely stay here again! There were just a couple of things that need rectifying: The windows in the main bedroom need replacing. Frying pans are rusty and need replacing. Other than that would highly recommend.

This property was amazing 10/10 we loved everything about it very clean and comfortable and a great location for us as a family.

However, the description on your website was really confusing and necessitated a call to your main office ... this proved impossible to actually speak to a person and we sent a letter through the post and also rang up pretending we wanted to cancel our booking to find a way to speak to a person and get a simple answer to our question - was there a toilet upstairs?.

Really enjoyed our stay.

Clean and tidy. Perfect location. Thanks.

Really pleased we would and definitely will book again.

The Only fault I would say master bedroom at the front of property needs new windows very noisy with traffic and people talking on there way home late at night and a draft constant through old windows. Luckily it was lovely weather when we stayed.

In 2024, we left a review mostly positive yet observing that the kitchen really needs a washing up drainage holder the absence of which, although trivial, means washing up left to drain on the side in a pile.

Trivial yes, but not unreasonable in a quality holiday venue. We are booked again for 2026 by when, hopefully, our minor suggestion will have found favour!

Amazing- photos do not do it justice.

Loved every minute did not want to leave will be booking again next year. We love Weymouth but staying in your lovely property made us love it even more!

Only reason for the accuracy of listing photo was the stairs if you have a problem with mobility I have stairs in my home so I am used to stairs but found stairs in sailors watch a challenge every thing else was top class

Not the 1st time we have stayed at Sailors.

It's situation is ideal for town, harbour and shops. Lovely views of the inner harbour .

Needs a washing line.

Maybe secondary glazing in main bedroom for the noise of the bridge opening. Apart from that it was an excellent property.

Sailor’s watch, absolutely fabulous.

So much so,that on our 3rd day of being there we booked up for next year. The kitchen was well equipped. The beds were very comfortable. Everything was really clean. We couldn’t believe how big it was inside. We loved the gardens. The view was absolutely gorgeous daytime and night. My granddaughter was so excited every day to see the bridge open and close. It was so close to every thing, practically on your doorstep ! Complimentary tea/coffee/milk etc was a lovely touch as was the roses. My granddaughter appreciated the kids toys etc. We accidentally locked ourself out , but the owner was on site in no time at all. Taught us a valuable lesson to always leave spare set in key safe. The only things we found that would be useful in the property is a draining rack. As there’s not a lot of space to put washing up on. Also the top garden window ,one side has a pane of glass missing overlooking the courtyard below. Our granddaughter threw a ball out of this window for our dog and it worried me greatly as the dog could have jumped up trying to retrieve the ball, as could have our granddaughter. It just needs a piece of wood to cover it that side. But it hasn’t put us off staying again. We are already missing being there and cannot wait to return. Thank you to the owners for making our holiday extra nice by providing such a lovely homely place to stay.

The sofas were very low, also the mattress in the back bedroom looked about 20 years old covered in stains!

I would suggest that the artificial grass be changed at it smelt disgusting (dog pee). The building works in council car park next door was very annoying, 8am - 5pm constant drilling, it actually shook the house!! Apart from that we had a good stay in Weymouth.

Hi sailors watch is absolutely amazing everything that you need for your stay is there available to you the views are amazing !

! Perfect location the only thing I would say is the artificial grass in front of conservatory smells of dog urine which was probably made worse by the beautiful warm we had during our stay

Very well equipped and cosy cottage.

Perfect for a family of six. We enjoyed our stay very much and would love to return some time in the future.

Absolutely beautiful property in a superb location.

Weekends can be a bit noisy but this doesn’t bother us. Lots to do and see but even if you want to relax in the property everything is on hand. Will definitely return.

Absolutely fabulous place to stay, well equipped kitchen, everything you need, deceptively large property, and a brilliant view over the harbour.

Would def book again.

Sailor's Watch was a lovely place to stay for a week in February, especially as we were blessed with amazing sunny weather.

The property was, as others have said, really well equipped and very spacious. No problem with feeling cooped up indoors had the weather not been so kind. But, and yes, there are two buts - first impression was most dispiriting. It's a drab passageway leading up to Sailor's Watch itself. At first we feared our accommodation was the roofless wreck that we faced as we came up the passage! Once we'd accepted that it led to a spotless home, airy and light, we were fine, but it was off-putting initially. The second but was to do with noise. We must confess that we aren't used to noise at night but on the Saturday night cars were still roaring up and down outside at 4 am. I know because they were keeping me awake! I learned subsequently that there is a nightclub nearby that doesn't close till 5 am. However, once the weekend was over all was quiet. So if you're sleeping (or hoping to sleep) in the front bedroom, hang on in there; it does get much better. Really worth considering for a break in Weymouth. Convenient and with excellent views as well as perfect for strolling into town.

We stayed 4th-10th November 2022.

Enjoyed the fireworks display on the beach. You need to sort the TV controller out downstairs. Otherwise, must have liked the digs as I've already booked the same week for 2023! Pete

An excellent holiday property to stay in.

Perfect location for every need. Spacious and well equipped. Parking permit supplied which was very useful, although the space in front of the property is not a guarantee. We would be very happy to return.

Brill place everything you needed the gardenmade it.

Close to town parking wasn't a problem for us, in the height of summer maybe. Would definitely go again.

Entry at 4:00 pm, seems a bit late 2:00 pm seems a reasonable time.

Great location, lovely apartment

Thank you for a lovely stay.

I would definitely recommend to others and would stay again. Couldn't of been happier was everything I wanted.

A lovely well appointed flat, on the doorstep of everything you would want in Weymouth.

Comfy beds and lovely furniture, We really could not fault anything. Very happy and will, without doubt return.

A brilliant flat in a fantastic location to explore Weymouth and the surrounds.

Hope to be back again in the future.

We have been using Sykes/Dream cottages for many years, staying at various accommodations in Weymouth.

On this occasion we chose Sailors Watch. This is by far the best place we've stayed. It was the cleanist, largest, well equipped, and best location we've ever had. Sailors Watch is situated above another Sykes property. So after entering a communal door downstairs, you have to go up a set of steps to reach it. The large fully equipped kitchen diner greets you on entry,with tea, coffee, hot chocolate, biscuits, along with milk in fridge.The living area overlooks the bridge and harbour, a lovely view. There are 2 bathrooms with welcome packs in each, including shampoo, conditioner, soap etc. 2 large bedrooms, and a bedroom with 2 single beds. Beds are very comfortable.Note to everyone staying, the heating control is on top of the fridge, which we only found after contacting the office. A strange place to put it! We had a wonderful stay at this property, and will hopefully book again for next year.

The decor of the cottage was lovely and the location perfect.

We loved the cottage as it was contemporary but with some quirky features. The cottage was very well equipped - we all appreciated the welcome box with teas and tasty biscuits. It was very relaxing just to sit and watch the boats go by. Lots of cafes and restaurants in walking distance which was great. We were able to go on several walks, to the fort and to a castle, plus just walking around the lively harbour was enjoyable. My son loved the arcades near the beach, which was a 15 minute walk away. There are boat trips you can do close to the cottage. My son and I went on one and managed to see the resident dolphins William and Harry. It is a short walk over the bridge into Weymouth town centre which has all the shops you would need plus some independent shops. We could not have asked for more, except that we all wanted to stay longer.

Beautiful property & a perfect base for exploring Weymouth & surrounding areas.

Ideal for walks to the beach & harbour. Kept updated by Sykes all the way and found lots of helpful information at the property. Would stay again and will be booking with Sykes again. Great service. Wonderful holiday.

Second time at sailors watch great place to stay with your family very spacious have booked again for next year

Sailors Watch is perfect!

A fabulous location right in the heart of Weymouth. The accommodation is clean, spacious & very comfortable. The kitchen is one of the best equipped SC kitchens I have ever stayed in!! A fantastic stay and would definitely recommend!

Couple of snags for future guests would be door handles internally and built in sliding wardrobe doors

Great holiday location and fabulous place.

Only suggestion is that it would be useful to have contact details with the owner beforehand so we could warn them that we would not be arriving on the Friday rather than going through the (understandably busy at the moment) Sykes number.

We had a lovely family holiday at Sailor s Watch.

It was located in an ideal area in Weymouth. We could walk to the restaurants in 5 minutes which was ideal. The cottage was spacious, well equipped and full of character. We would recommend this property if you want to visit Weymouth and have all the amenities on your door step.

Enjoyed an amazing weeks stay in Sailor’s Watch.

Great views over the harbour, which we absolutely enjoyed watching the comings and goings of. Property stylishly decorated, comfortable and with all amenities catered for. Thanks Annie for letting us stay, we thoroughly enjoyed our time. Great location for all local amenities, great local pubs and eateries, which we tried to visit most of them during our stay. .

Everything about this holiday was perfect.

The website was easy to navigate, we had lots of choice and we managed to find a cottage that suited our needs perfectly. Sykes kept us updated about coronavirus risks without unduly worrying us which was ace. The cottage itself was spotlessly clean giving us every confidence in our choice. The cottage was also extremely well fitted out with everything we needed for a great weeks holiday. We found it to be very dog friendly with outside areas for him to run and lie in - he loved it too ! The parking permit was an added bonus, we managed to park outside the cottage every day (although it was just out of season) but there were also plenty of permitted areas within walking distance of the cottage. Due to coronavirus the owners are, understandably, advised not to visit tenants in person but they did contact us by text message to check if everything was ok which was very much appreciated, they seem very friendly are caring people. We have been on many cottage breaks in the UK and we both agreed this was the best we have ever stayed in. We would highly recommend this cottage and are looking to go back ourselves if we can.

Beautiful cottage with excellent facilities.

A few nice touches, like toiletries and tea bags and even dog treats. Exceptionally clean through out. Can't wait to return.

Fabulous holiday house great views great location we are returning next year k

Fantastic property, home from home, in a brilliant location within easy walking distance of facilities of Weymouth.

Very well equipped and spotlessly clean and cosy. Excellent uninterrupted views of the harbour. Quite happy to sit in the window watching the world go by and the town bridge opening to allow the boats to pass through. Although it was January still plenty to see and do in the area with shops, pubs and restaurants on the doorstep, many dog friendly. Despite being situated on quite a busy road into town didn't notice traffic noise and very quiet during the night too. Parking directly outside not a problem with the permit so that was a major bonus. Annie the owner went over and above to make our holiday as comfortable and stress free as possible. We hope to return next year. Just brilliant!! Andrea & Steve Chidgey & Angus

Fantastic family holiday at Sailors Watch.

Welcome pack completely unexpected but very thoughtful ready for an important cup of tea after a tiring journey. Lovely views overlooking the marina and watching the rising of the bridge. Ideal location for amenities. There was nothing that was overlooked in welcome pack which also included the milk in the fridge. Everything was thought of including towels .

Great location and we were able to park directly outside on most days.

On other occasions we were only a couple of minutes walk away. Tssteful, high quality decor. Quirky layout and much larger than expected. An ideal holiday base. Not the quietest location, but then you are in the midst of everything. The convenience and boat/people-watching over the harbour are the pay off. We would definitely return. Thank you.

Fantastic holiday home lovely views over the harbour and great location .

The house is beautiful inside and is a great size for a family our kids loved the secret garden . Thank you to the owners for accomadating our twins and the lovely welcome pack . I would highly recommend this holiday home
