Description

123 On The Sea - The Eaves.

Set within a beautiful Georgian seafront building on Weymouth's iconic Esplanade, The Eaves at 123 On The Sea combines spectacular coastal views, elegant character and modern comfort to create the perfect Dorset escape.

Whether you're watching the sunrise over Weymouth Bay, enjoying lazy summer days on the beach, or returning from a refreshing winter walk along the seafront, The Eaves offers a wonderfully relaxing place to call home.

Originally built in the early 1820s for a sea captain, this charming apartment enjoys one of Weymouth's most sought-after locations, with the beach directly opposite and the town's vibrant harbour, independent shops, caf?s and restaurants all within easy walking distance.

Ideal for couples and solo travellers alike, it provides a peaceful retreat from which to experience the best of Dorset throughout the year.

Thoughtfully designed to provide a peaceful retreat above the bustle of the Esplanade, this charming apartment blends period character with modern comfort.

One of its most captivating features is the outlook from both the front and rear of the property.

To the front, traditional sash windows frame beautiful views across Weymouth's golden sands and the sparkling waters of Weymouth Bay, providing the perfect setting to watch the sunrise over the sea each morning.

To the rear, you'll find a wonderfully characterful rooftop scene, with a sea of chimney pots and rooftops evoking something of a classic Mary Poppins skyline.

Beyond, the views extend towards the Radipole area and the rolling Dorset countryside, where the distant silhouette of Hardy's Monument can often be spotted on clear days.

As evening falls, the rear aspect provides a lovely vantage point from which to enjoy the sunset behind the town.

Whether you're starting the day with a coffee overlooking the bay or unwinding as the sun dips below the horizon, The Eaves offers a unique and memorable perspective of Weymouth from dawn until dusk.

The inviting sitting room is a welcoming space to unwind after a day exploring Dorset's stunning coastline.

Curl up with a good book, plan the next day's adventures, or simply settle in for a cosy evening in front of the Smart TV while admiring the ever-changing scenery beyond the windows.

The well-equipped kitchen/diner provides everything needed for a comfortable self-catered stay, including an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher.

Enjoy leisurely breakfasts before a day by the sea or relaxed evenings dining with a view.

When it's time to retire, the king-size bedroom offers a peaceful sanctuary designed for a restful night's sleep.

A contemporary shower room, complete with a walk-in shower, basin and WC, provides a stylish finishing touch.

A designated off-road parking space is included, a valuable addition in this popular seafront location, while Weymouth Railway Station is just a short walk away for guests travelling by train.

From beach days and coastal adventures to cosy afternoons watching the waves roll across the bay, Weymouth offers something special in every season.

With the Jurassic Coast, Portland Bill and historic Dorchester all within easy reach, The Eaves is perfectly placed for discovering Dorset's remarkable coastline and countryside.

Accessibility: Reached via three flights of stairs, The Eaves enjoys an elevated position with wonderful views across Weymouth Bay and beyond.

Guests with reduced mobility should consider this when booking.

For larger family gatherings and group holidays, 123 On The Sea also offers the opportunity to book additional apartments within the same historic seafront building.

The collection (accommodating 10 guests) also includes Victoria's Place, Captain's View and The Cubby.

Each offering its own unique character while sharing the same outstanding location on Weymouth's famous Esplanade.

We had a fantastic stay at the Eaves.

The property was clean well maintained with lovely decor. The Beds and sofa were extremely comfortable. It had everything we needed for our stay and the welcome pack was a lovely addition. My husband and I would not hesitate to rebook the Eaves.

First impressions matter, and unfortunately the exterior, hallway and staircase at 123 let things down.

The building looks quite grey and drab from the outside, the main hallway and staircase are in need of attention, damp patches in the corners, peeling paint on the ceiling, and walls that could really do with refreshing. Once inside the apartment, however, it’s a different story. The space itself is beautifully presented, very well decorated, and equipped to a high standard. That said, two cleanliness issues did detract from the overall experience, both seemingly down to the cleaning team: 1: A used bath towel appeared to have been left in the bottom of the wardrobe. We didn’t touch it, hence “appeared”. 2: The toilet pan had not been properly cleaned and was left soiled. The apartment has great potential, but the communal areas and cleaning standards need improvement to match the quality of the interior.

Owner response:

Mr Mundy, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and please accept our sincere apologies for the issues you encountered during your stay. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the apartment itself, its décor and the standard of its facilities. We are sorry, however, that the communal areas and the cleanliness fell short of your expectations. Regarding the exterior and communal areas, the building is over 200 years old, and we appreciate that its traditional appearance may not appeal to everyone. We have made a significant financial investment in renovating the building and bringing the apartments up to a high standard. We are also very mindful that the entrance hallway and staircase create the first impression for our guests. Completing the refurbishment of these communal areas is the next phase of our plans, and we recognise the importance of bringing them into line with the quality of the apartments. Most importantly, we sincerely apologise for the used towel and the condition of the toilet. Cleanliness is our top priority, and these issues are completely unacceptable. We have taken your feedback very seriously and have parted ways with our previous cleaning team. We have started working with a new cleaning company this week to ensure that the standards our guests expect, and deserve, are consistently met. Please also accept our apologies for the delay in responding. We wanted to ensure that we had taken the appropriate steps to find the right team before coming back to you with an update. We felt it was important not only to acknowledge your concerns but also to demonstrate that we were acting on them. Thank you again for your honest feedback. We appreciate you highlighting both the potential of the apartment and the areas requiring improvement, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future.

WE LOVED OUR BREAK IN wEYMOUTH AND SUCH A GREAT LOCATION JUST ACROSS FROM THE BEACH FRONT

We will definitely be rebooking another stay at this gorgeous newly refurbished apartment.

The 5 flights of stairs is certainly a test of the fittest but it is worth the leg work. We were welcomed with a tea, coffee and biscuits hamper box and essentials for washing up and changing the bin were provided. The sea views are stupendous with the Northe Fort tucked at the end, Bank Holiday FireWorks and the sound of the waves. There are plenty of things to do for both children and adults ,we were tempted to call in and ask to extend our stay. 5 days was not enough. The advert/photos do not do this gorgeous property justice. We work in the Property Sector/Rentals and Home Renovations ourselves and are very impressed by this property. My husband is a very difficult man to please however he could barely find fault with the renovation work. Everything down to the colour of the pipework behind the sink matched the paneling colour behind it. We liked that the sash windows do not open fully so children cannot climb out whilst your back is turn for 1 minute. The only windows that open fully are in the bedroom to the far left next to the vanity table. We hope that every person renting this lovely space will enjoy it as much as we did and takes care of the home during their stay, helping to maintain it's quality and ambience for the next holiday maker. Just a mention about parking. We did not find any mention about parking in the folder (provided in the livingroom) nor on emails. We got a parking fine as the area is a nightmare for parking , we were forced to park on double yellows. Only the evening before leaving did we discover the designated parking spaces directly behind the building. Private driveways sign posted for each flat. We may have over read the parking information however we couldn't find this. We went through the folder at least three times. So be mindful there is private parking. Don't drive around for ages and park on yellow lines :D

Owner response:

Hello Miss Wright, thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderfully detailed review. We are absolutely delighted to hear how much you enjoyed your stay and, in particular, the spectacular sea views, the fireworks and the sound of the waves. It is lovely to hear that you felt five days simply wasn’t long enough! We are especially pleased that you appreciated the care and attention to detail that has gone into the renovation. Your comments mean a great deal to us, particularly knowing that you work within the property, rental and home renovation sector. We are thrilled that even your husband, who you describe as being difficult to please, was impressed! Thank you also for noticing the family-friendly features of the property and for your kind words about looking after the home for future guests. We very much hope that everyone who stays can enjoy the property as much as you did. We are sorry to hear about the parking confusion and, of course, that you received a parking fine. We completely appreciate how frustrating this must have been, particularly when arriving in an unfamiliar area. Just to clarify for future guests, the designated private parking spaces and their location are included in the Key Collection Details email, which is sent prior to arrival. The same parking information is then repeated in the Key Collection Reminder email sent on the day of arrival. We are sorry if this was overlooked amongst the arrival information, and we will certainly take your feedback on board and look at whether the parking information can be made even more prominent within the property as well. We are very grateful for your kind recommendation and for highlighting this, as it will hopefully help future guests avoid the same confusion. Thank you again for choosing to stay with us, and we would be delighted to welcome you back for a longer visit next time!
