“We have stayed at Sea King House several times and we love it.”

There are however some areas that we think need attention. 1. Replacement bath/shower. Its so difficult to get into/out of. I appreciate the hand rail but the show door makes it very awkward, anyone with mobility issues would really struggle. 2. The general cleanliness was disappointing. Very dusty inside the wardrboes. The glass balcony was really dirty and smeared. 3. The floor in the lounge/kitchen is incredibly squeaky and maybe could either be changed or relayed with ...

The glass balcony was really dirty and smeared. 3. The floor in the lounge/kitchen is incredibly squeaky and maybe could either be changed or relayed with better underlay possibly. 4. The sofa looks very fashionable but it really is not comfortable at all. The springs in some of the seats are prominent and the low back/no headrest isn't supportive. I understand leather is common in holiday rentals, personally I prefer fabric. The previous sofa was leather but was much more comfortable with recliners. These issues are easily fixed I think. We love Sea King House and wouldn't let these things stop us from visiting again. The location is absolutely beautiful with two nearby beaches. The balcony is wonderful and the beds are very comfortable, especially the master.

“We really enjoyed our stay at Sea King House, Weymouth.”

It was clean and comfortable, with everything we needed. Wonderful to be able to see the sunrise & set each day from our window. We enjoyed various walks directly from the front door. There were lots of places to visit within a short distance of driving too. We finished our stay feeling rested and recharged.

“The location is fantastic with an amazing view over the park to the sea and the Isle of Portland.”

Everyone enjoyed sitting on the balcony, admiring the view and people-watching. So many places are just a quick car journey away. Easy to walk into town or to Chesil Beach. A small sandy beach just a few minutes' walk (down a side path and some wooden steps). Although there is little road noise, there was quite a lot of people noise including the metal shutter of the cafe opposite rattling up any time from 7.30am every morning. My children were also disturbed by the noise of partying from the house/footpath behind. Sadly, we were very disappointed at the cleanliness of the house. The extractor fan had dark brown grease on it, I did not feel comfortable using the damaged and dirty microwave. There was little room for our food despite the fact that there was lots of equipment to cook, although not sure anybody will need four sauce boats. There were crumbs over the work surfaces and sofa, the bath still had the previous occupant's wet bath mat and hair, there were hairballs on the carpeted bedroom floors. The paint on the walls of the smallest bedroom (which is tiny) was badly scuffed in many places. As has been noted by several people, it is a bit awkward climbing into the bath (high sided bath with screen fixed along half of it and a shower overhead). Not suitable for bathing small children or for anyone with mobility issues. It does look like nothing has been done to the house (other than a hand rail in the shower) since we were there in 2021. It is a real shame because the house's location is amazing.

“A nice house in a lovely location however the layout didn’t work for us with only toilets on the ground and top floor.”

The balcony had many webs and needed a clean and the balcony table and chairs were so wobbly as to feel unsafe.

“We have been staying at Sea King House since 2013.”

It has the most amazing views, good facilities, a lovely cafe just opposite which does open at 9am, but is so quiet you wouldn’t know. The facilities are good everything in the kitchen you would want, decent size fridge freezer, microwave lots of storage. Bathroom/shower (all in one) could be better as there is limited space and is quite difficult to get in and out, sofa although looks fab isn’t the most comfy but those are the only semi- criticisms.

“Negatives: Bathroom door lock not working - reading reviews this was reported over 2 years ago!”

! Please fix it. Cafe opens everyday at 8am so no lay ins! Needs a deep clean, i swept floor and bought wipes to clean them. Lots of cobwebs esp in main bedroom. Alot of cutlery/crockery etc was not clean. I think alot of the cleaning is left to the guests who are checking out and minimal cleaning done after by the rental company. Shower is difficult to get in/out of due to fixed curved glass shower screen and position of toilet. Access to garden is through 3 doors - through garage and utility room on the ground floor away from living area, which is worth bearing in mind if you are bringing dogs. Washing machine was filthy and i had to clean it before we could use it. Mattresses not good and really need replacing esp 1 of the single beds in twin room. Bedside lamp cant be used as no plug near by in twin room. No cutlery basket in dishwasher and plates are too tall so they have to be stacked at an angle otherwise it wont wash properly. Sofa v un-comfy as were the dining chairs. Anti-social behaviour in park opposite with large group of youths playing loud music, singing, shouting, swearing. This went on for hours and i did actually report to police. The road is v busy and noisy and so disturbed sleep every night even with windows shut which is not ideal in August! Attached to neighbours both sides and sound proofing is non existent. Positives: Views are stunning and were a huge reason we booked this place. Off street parking for 2 cars (1 car in garage) also meant storage for kayak. Allowed pets and had a half decent garden. Proximity to a stunning little beach. Pretty gardens over the rd and cafe for ice creams/coffee/snacks! Rodwell trail almost on doorstep. Could be amazing if a few changes were made!!

“A fantastic property in a perfect location - the view from the balcony is superb.”

When we arrived, there was a dreadful smell in the kitchen - although the bin had been emptied, there was what looked like to be vomit on the inside of the lid and bin which had not been cleaned. Although we wiped this clean with disinfectant we decided to relocate the bin to the utility room as it still smelled. The kitchen floor needed a clean as this also smelled nasty. We did raise this with the agent and suggest that a deep clean should be carried out. The property itself is lovely and has good facilities, however I would recommend the following: Bathroom - access to the shower is very difficult, even for an abled bodied person. I recommend that handles are installed to assist getting in and out the bath. Stairs - these are very steep and there is no rail at the top of either set of stairs. As a Health and Safety issue there should be rails installed. Despite the above, we really enjoyed our stay and would be looking to return in the future.

We found the property to be in a fabulous setting,the apartment provided us with everything that we needed, the middle bedroom was a bit small, but we managed to get around that, on the whole we found it to be a pleasurable experience, so we booked again , for next year

“The house was beautifully decorated for Christmas.”

Looking out the windows it has a wonderful wow factor. Everything we needed was there: kitchen utensils etc. fridge and freezer a good size. Utility room and washer/dryer amazing. The cafe opposite was open everyday so we had lots of fresh coffee. . Cleaning could have been a little better. Only thing that would really improve would be a grab handle as you get out the bath/shower as it’s a very high sided bath and there’s nothing to steady yourself when you get out and there is limited space, and a shower door that can be pushed back against the wall so you don’t have to climb in the bath to push the plug in.

“We left after only 2 days (I did ring local agent in Weymouth to let them know).”

After numerous calls to Sykes cottages requesting to change our deposit over to another property, because we read more recent reviews about how difficult it was to get in & out of the shower in the bath. Firstly, customer services denied any such reviews, but after talking to another person, the reviews were noted!!! As my husband is 83 & myself 79 (with arthritis I did foresee problems, which there duly was! After 2 days we couldn’t go any longer not having a shower!. The week was a celebration of 60 yrs of marriage, so thought it VERY unkind of Sykes Cottages not to allow us to change over our deposit over to another property of yours. I had given plenty of time before we were due to arrive. Soooo disappointed, although we did find another ‘very nice’ property to stay at BUT it has cost us a lot of money & being pensioners you can imagine how difficult that is! If it hadn’t been our special anniversary we would have come home. As you can understand we won’t be using Sykes Cottages again & will put a review on TrustPilot when I have time. Mrs Linda Dunn

“Excellent property however we had a problem using the shower, one of our party has mobility issues and couldn't use the shower, because of the height of the side of the bath coupled with the close proximity of the toilet.”

Also the cooking utensils needed washing prior to use

“Lovely accommodation with a fantastic view.”

Great base for exploring the area. Two lovely small beaches 5 min walk to left or right of property. Little touches like tea/coffee/milk and biscuits were appreciated. Some negatives, a creaky floor in the kitchen, the curtains in the main bedroom could do with replacing as they are worn. The property is by a park cafe and noise from the cafe woke us up every morning as we had to keep the windows open every night due to the hot weather. Maybe a fan could be provided in the room to avoid having to open windows. No BBQ in the garden so we brought our own, the garden is small but nice and shady in the evening for sitting out. Overall, we really enjoyed staying at this property.

“Lovely accommodation with a fantastic view.”

Great base for exploring the area. We have already booked again for next year. The only negative is that the curtains in the main bedroom and the living room could do with replacing. Other than that though we really couldn't fault the property. Dorset is so dog friendly too - our 2 little dogs were welcomed everywhere. We are looking forward to our next holiday at Sea King House.

“The house has the most amazing views.”

On the whole was in good condition the presentation of the house on first arrival was stunning. The pet gate was really useful, our Border Collie loved to sit and watch the world from the balcony, we would definitely come back. A few small areas for cleaning nothing worth writing about. The bath/shower was the trickiest a really small space to get in and out, trying to push the plug down to run a bath provided a few smiles. None of the above would prevent us returning.

“We have stayed at Sea King a few times now and this was our first visit back since lockdown.”

It was a great holiday home before lockdown but has had a refurb and is now even better. The living space is bright and modern but cosy too. The beds are very comfortable and the master bed has that amazing view. We highly recommend this holiday home, we’ve never been disappointed.

- Stuart, September 2022
Louise September 2022

“This was the second time we had stayed at Sea King.”

The house had been updated since our last stay and the cleanliness was much improved. The house is in a good location with spectacular views across Portland bay. It is a 20 minute walk in to the town centre and there are plenty of things to do in the area. Off road parking at the house is a great bonus and we were able to park our car (Nissan Qashqai) easily inside the garage. We would recommend staying at Sea King.

- Louise, September 2022
Linda August 2022

“This is a lovely property with all the facilities we could have needed, very clean and beautifully presented.”

We know this area from years of visiting Weymouth so we were very comfortable staying here. Views from the property are amazing with a very well kept public park directly in front if the property. A super cafe attracts locals, passing walkers and cyclists so great for people watching as well as the views. 2 small beaches 100 m away and a 20 minute stroll into Weymouth. Well positioned for walking as it sits right on the Rodwell trail. We would stay here again.

“The property has the wow factor.”

Its spaceous and has great views. We loved the balcony, the location and little touches like a water bowl left ready for our dog as well as tea towel/washing up liquid/coffee/milk. It has some annoying things like the bathroom door lock not working, a creaky floor in the kitchen and the main bedroom door did not shut fully. Also lots of cob webs in the balcony and rusty garden furniture in the garden. The property is by a park cafe and noise from the cafe woke us up in the morning. At night it was very quiet with poor street lighting. Overall, we really enjoyed staying there because inside it was beautiful and there was plenty of space, including a small garden for the dog. Despite the annoying things, it is the best property we have stayed at.

Simeon July 2022

“We booked this house for the views which were beautiful.”

However, the antisocial behaviour in the park across the road late at night and during the early hours of the morning was terrible. We called the police three times to report talking/shouting, very loud music, drinking, drug taking and urinating. The house itself is very dirty all over, floors, cobwebs, dead flies on the window sills and scum marks round the bath.

This a lovely house, with excellent facilities and everything well thought of. It is one of the best places I have stayed in, and in a nice location. We were very happy with the place indeed.

“Sea King has positive and negative points.”

Positive being, a good location, comfortable surroundings, lovely views, the balcony is great and gets the sun for most of the day, bed comfortable and clean (for us), modern bathroom and good heating when required. It was a pleasure to arrive at a nicely decorated accommodation and new furniture, not as per photos on the website. Unfortunately there are a few negatives but these can be addressed easily, the main one being the overall cleanliness. The house needs a full / deep spring clean including utility. Back garden, table / chairs are so uncomfortable and rusty, so uninviting to sit late afternoon when you lose the sun from the front balcony, the garden area itself needs a clean and tidying up. Front balcony would benefit from comfortable chairs and a small secure table, difficult in the space given but this can be done. The windows inside and out had not been cleaned for along time, given the wonderful view I would have thought this would be looked at each week. We would consider staying again and felt the few negative points lets the house down but this should not distract anyone from staying here.

“We had an exceptionally nice holiday at Sea King House.”

It is a lovely property with amazing views. Everything inside is clean and comfortable and the kitchen is very well equipped with a super large American style fridge freezer. I have no idea how you managed to get it up the stairs! The house is in a great position for walking into Weymouth. We found at least four different routes, including one along the beach. The gardens, castle and cafe opposite the house are an added bonus. Thank you for a superb holiday.

Jennifer July 2021

“After we visited Sea King House in 2019, I made a few suggestions for how the house could be improved.”

I think everything I had noted has been taken care of. The house had been decorated since we last visited and the furniture upgraded. The house was just as comfortable. Amazing views, quiet road, convenient location, small sandy beach a few minutes away. Thinking of booking again.

- Jennifer, July 2021
Les July 2021

“Excellent accommodation.”

But one minor gripe with the shower, if you have joint problems it is pretty unaccessable both in height and the proximity to the toilet. Impossible to safely stand on the shower mat and then move it to close the door .

Natalie June 2021

“The house is pristine, with luxurious modern decor and fantastic views across Weymouth and Portland.”

Only complaint is that, while stylish, the sofas were very hard. The garden was useful for drying wet beach clothes and the balcony was great for breakfast - it almost felt like we were on a Mediterranean break! The location was great, with two small beaches a couple of minutes walk away, meaning we could avoid the crowds on Weymouth beach, but we could easily walk into the town to enjoy its facilities when we wanted. Thank you for a lovely stay.

- Natalie, June 2021
Michael May 2021

“We stayed at this house with our 3 boys and 2 dogs.”

We were reluctant at first to stay as having read the reviews some had said the cleanliness wasn’t up to scratch. We however experienced a very clean house, freshly painted walls and stairs and in places, new furniture. The star rating had said 3* but in our view this should be more 4*+. Overall a great 5 days away and would totally recommend this property. Fab location too!

- Michael, May 2021
David September 2020

“We were blessed with good weather so we made good use of the balcony with amazing views from first cup of tea of the day to a glass of wine later on, well equipped and the second toilet was very useful.”

Very dog friendly Frank our border terrier loved watching the other dogs from the balcony. 2 fabulous little beaches within 200 metres walk. The beautiful gardens opposite were just lovely and a hive of activity throughout the day. We used the Rodwell trail just behind the house a quick 15 minutes into weymouth one way and to chenille beach the other. Our only gripe was we didn't think it had been cleaned as thoroughly as we would of expected but a minor gripe. A beautiful week spent at Sea king house we made lots of memories.

“What a brilliant holiday home!”

Perfect location opposite Sandsfoot Castle, with a sea view and only a few minutes walk to a sandy beach. Rodwell trail was behind the house - flat walk/cycle into Weymouth or towards the bridge over to Portland. Loved the balcony - sun trap and lovely place to relax and watch the world go by (well other holidaymakers!). House was clean - we had been concerned given other reviews. Furniture on the balcony looked new and was ideal. Good to have parking. Our only negative feedback was that the second and third bedrooms had flimsy curtains which let in light in the mornings (teenager not impressed with early wake-ups!).

- Karen, August 2020
Wendy August 2019

“The holiday home has amazing views looking over to Portland and it would have been perfect if it wasn’t for the cleanliness of the house.”

It was very clear that dogs had been staying because there were dog hairs under beds and in corners which could have quite easily been cleaned. Our dog doesn’t shred so we were not used to this. The sofas were a bit grubby but bedding and towels were all perfectly clean and so was the bathroom and toilet. We couldn’t get the gas hob to work and never got a call back about this so we made do. The balcony which I thought was a definite selling point in this property could have had more comfortable seating outside but they were adequate. Same with the garden furniture which we didn’t use as they were a bit old and needed updating. Nearby there is a little beach and it’s a perfect location to go exploring. Also across the road is the castle ruin and beautiful garden which can be a good place to take the dog out quickly. The cafe across the road was also lovely to crab a coffee first thing in the morning although they can be a bit noisy setting up. Just a few finishing touches and cleanliness could make this house perfect!

- Wendy, August 2019
Jennifer August 2019

“The location and views are great.”

Reasonable walk/quick drive into Weymouth (plenty of parking there but make sure you download the Just Park app or carry lots of change). The attractive park opposite is larger than it appears in the photos. Path to a sandy beach (new steps) only a few minutes' walk. Well-equipped kitchen. Possibly the most comfortable beds I have ever had in a holiday property. Excellent shower pressure. On the downside, as some others have noted, the property does need a bit of updating. The surfaces of the kitchen cupboard doors were badly cracked; the microwave had scratches inside that made me hesitate to use it; minutes after we arrived, the plumber arrived to prop up the wall-hung toilet which was coming away from the wall, damaging the tiles; the leather sofas were cracked (but comfortable). Various lightbulbs needed to be replaced, the pull cord for the bathroom light was broken. The single bedroom was cosy but tiny. The twin room had a lamp but no socket near the beds. Access to the second toilet is via the entrance hall, through the integral garage and then through the utility room - not very practical when you have small children. The driveway is very short and so you have to park partly under the balcony, in the entranceway to the garage, which is extremely narrow. Something to bear in mind if you have a wide car. Despite these issues, we would still recommend this property based on comfort, views and location.

- Christine, June 2019
Louise May 2019

“This is a nice house with fantastic views from the balcony and master bedroom windows.”

The integrated garage is a bonus and can easily fit a large car. The master bedroom was a good size and the bed was very comfortable. There are some negatives though. The house was not cleaned very well. There was a lot of dust and hair and the floors had sticky dirt patches and there were several pieces of plastic, one piece my dog nearly ate which could have had serious consequences! The kitchen utensils etc all needed a good clean also. As well as cleanliness, the sofas are a bit shabby, not very comfortable and one side of the reclining sofa was broken. A decent set of balcony chairs and table is needed also. In all, a good house but needs a bit of a spuce up and a good clean.

- Louise, May 2019
Stuart May 2019

“This is a beautiful holiday home, excellent facilities and amazing location.”

There is just a few minor things we feel need an update. The television and its access to a variety of channels is limited so could really do with an update. Another issue (and this is purely personal so may not bother others) is the leather furniture in the lounge isn't very comfortable/cosy, finally the master bathroom needs a deep clean). However, the bedrooms/kitchen/outside spaces/views are amazing I have no issue in recommending this property.

The property

Sea King House is a contemporary three-story terraced house located in the popular resort town of Weymouth, Dorset.

Sea King House is a fantastic dog-friendly dwelling for couples or a family of five, plus two canine companions, embarking on their next Dorset getaway.

The property boasts a superb location along the coast with stunning views looking out towards Weymouth Bay and Portland harbour.

Step inside the house to find a handy utility room with a washing machine for your convenience along with a cloakroom.

Climb the stairs to the first floor, where you can prepare delectable home-cooked meals in the well-equipped kitchen, which includes a dishwasher, and tuck-in at the dining table for five or alfresco out on the rear patio.

After supper, take advantage of the nicer weather by sipping your favourite beverage on the balcony whilst admiring the views of Sandsfoot Gardens and the magnificent castle remains.

Curl up on the plush seating in the sitting room as the evening cools and choose a family favourite from the TV with DVD player.

Make your way to the second floor, where you can relax in the bath or freshen up with a shower before selecting from one of three well-appointed bedrooms: a double, a twin, or a single.

Explore your immediate surroundings, where you visit Sandsfoot Castle and Gardens and take in the spectacular sweeping bay views or grab your swimsuits and towels and head directly to Castle Cove Beach.

Enjoy the picturesque Rodwell Trail, which follows a disused railway line, into town if you fancy a leisurely stroll.

Once you've arrived in the lively town, there are plenty of friendly pubs, restaurants, and cafes to suit any taste and budget.

You can also try your hand at golf at the superb Weymouth Golf Club, watch the world go by at the harbour, or explore the amazing Victorian Nothe Fort and gardens.

The flourishing seafront, which is dotted with amusements, the wildlife-rich RSPB Radipole Lake, Sea Life Centre, and the gorgeous Weymouth Beach, where you may bathe or take to the waves on a kayak, canoe, or surfboard, are among the town's other attractions.

The next stop is Dorchester, which is home to the National Trust site of Max Gate, the former home of the great literary, Thomas Hardy.

You can also visit the historic sites of the Shire Hall Historic Courthouse Museum, the Dorset Museum, and the Roman Townhouse, or if that isn't your thing, follow the Thomas Hardy Trail or visit the nearby Kingston Maurward Animal Park and Gardens.

For a memorable getaway, choose Sea King House.

About the location

CASTLE COVE

Weymouth 2.1 miles; Dorchester 8.8 miles; Lyme Regis 28.5 miles.

Castle Cove is a firm favourite with locals, sitting alongside the Rodwell trail area, Castle Cove Beach is usually uncrowded, and offers safe bathing from its gently sloping shoreline. There are two main beach areas, Castle Cove, new steps to the beach opened early in 2019, and Sandsfoot beach, both with soft golden sand and the vibe of the best kept secret. Sandsfoot castle is just two minutes’ walk from the beach where you will find castle ruins, pretty, award-winning gardens and a small café, offering snacks, drinks and ice-creams. Accessed off Old Castle Road in Weymouth, this area is a real treat for those who want to be away from the buzz and bright lights of the traditional Weymouth Seafront, and yet close enough to venture there when they choose. When you are on the beach you could be forgiven for thinking you are miles from town, and yet you are only within easy reach of the old Harbour and access to Weymouth town centre. If you want to know where the locals would recommend you spend your beach days, then Castle Cove and Sandsfoot beaches are it.
