    “This was our fourth visit to 123 on the sea and have not been disappointed yet again.”

    (In fact we are already booked for next year!). Only change this year was that the owners have refurbished the upstairs apartments (Victoria's Place and The Loft) so had to give "our" apartment a new name too - Captain's View. How appropriate. The comfort and peaceful ambience is just perfect for that break away; the weather was very kind to us but even if it weren't, one can't ignore the beautiful view you have from the windows looking out to the sea.

    (In fact we are already booked for next year!). Only change this year was that the owners have refurbished the upstairs apartments (Victoria's Place and The Loft) so had to give "our" apartment a new name too - Captain's View. How appropriate. The comfort and peaceful ambience is just perfect for that break away; the weather was very kind to us but even if it weren't, one can't ignore the beautiful view you have from the windows looking out to the sea. The beds are incredibly comfortable, with squishy pillows and all very cosy. There is nothing missing in this apartment - careful thought has gone into the provision of everything you need to make your stay comfortable and memorable. All very tastefully done. What helped incredibly was that knowing that parking is at a premium in Weymouth, we had our very own parking space at no extra cost. Bliss! Lovely touch was the welcome pack- which was provided by treetophampers.co.uk - tea, coffee, biscuits, chocolate and milk. Lovely treat. The addition of a starter pack for washing up etc was a great help too. Do we have to wait another 12 months to come again? Just have to be patient! But thank you. Excellent place and excellent value.

We love hearing how much you enjoyed your stay, the sea views, and those little touches we put in place to help make your stay as relaxing and enjoyable as possible. We’re especially glad the complimentary parking space made a difference — we know how precious parking can be in Weymouth! And it’s lovely to hear that you enjoyed the welcome hamper from Tree Top Hampers, Marje does a fabulous job making them. The fact that you’ve already booked for next year is the loveliest compliment we could receive. Thank you for your continued support and for taking the time to share such kind and detailed feedback. We’ll look forward to welcoming you back to Captain’s View next year. Until then, wishing you both all the very best — and yes, we agree, 12 months is far too long to wait! With our warmest thanks, Victoria and Jack Property Owner
