“This is now our third visit to Weymouth, and I can honestly say that "The Kings Statue" is by far the best self catering accommodation we have ever stayed in, even at other resorts.”

It's location is superb, just across from the beach, with wonderful sea views, right on the edge of town, for shops and restaurants. It is so lovely furnished with quality furniture, the sofa and chairs are so comfortable to sit and watch the ever changing scenery outside. The beds were so comfortable, had some of the best nights sleep we've had for a long time. My seven year old son loved sitting in his bed and watching the "big ships" out in the bay.

It's location is superb, just across from the beach, with wonderful sea views, right on the edge of town, for shops and restaurants. It is so lovely furnished with quality furniture, the sofa and chairs are so comfortable to sit and watch the ever changing scenery outside. The beds were so comfortable, had some of the best nights sleep we've had for a long time. My seven year old son loved sitting in his bed and watching the "big ships" out in the bay. The kitchen is so well equipped, not that we did much cooking, but had everything you would need. It was spotlessly clean on our arrival. The "Dorset Happy Hamper" was a real treat on arrival, full of local products, my son loved the "posh" chocolate, and a fresh bottle of milk in the fridge. The parking permit was an added bonus, and we were lucky to find a space just behind the apartment (I appreciate that this may not always be the case). We loved it so much we have already booked another week in the summer, and I'm sure this will be the first of many at "The Kings Statue". Thank you Dream Cottages for making this a few days away to remember. Five stars all around.

Flat perfect but spare set of keys would be great We did not mind outside street noise but it might be highlighted as some wouldvind it annoying

“The apartment is lovely, furnished to a high standard & great position.”

Beautiful view of the beach & right next to all the shops & facilities. The only thing that lets it down is the cleanliness! It was not clean at all upon arrival- I had to hoover myself to get up the hairs & masses of crumbs on the floor & over table surfaces!! Yuk!! The bathroom did not apply clean either, such a shame & no cleaning materials for me to do it myself, although you would not expect to have to do this for the amount we paid!

- Julie, August 2022

Thank you for your valuable feedback and glad you loved the position and how the property was furnished. We are really sorry that the cleaning was not up to our normal high standards on this occasion, we would gladly arranged for a cleaner to return if we were made aware during your stay. We look forward to welcoming you back to Dream Cottages again soon. Property Owner

“Property was very well presented, lovely decor but we think you should have highlighted the fact that the flat was above a very busy bus stop which meant very high noise levels.”

It was also a meeting point for noisy revellers and a popular route for boy racers. The information pack was very useful but there were no instructions for the oven. Little things that would have made our stay more enjoyable would have been hooks on the back of the bathroom and bedroom doors and a place for shower gel/shampoo/soap in the shower. We were also very surprised that there was no way of recycling, we've always been able to do this in previous Sykes properties. Personally, we found the bed far too soft, and unfortunately the duvet was a thick winter one which was an issue with the glorious weather we had. We loved our time in Weymouth and hope this feedback is useful.

“Lovely apartment.”

Very close to the beach shops and pubs. Would recommend.

“I would highly recommend this property for the following reasons: superb location.”

..we didn’t use the car all week as everything you need is on your doorstep, no more than 10 mins walk away. No parking costs as a permit included in rental price. Stunning views from the bay window. Lovely, contemporary, newly refurbished property with super comfy beds and sofa. Very stylishly presented. Great shower in bathroom, brilliant pressure and tons of hot water! Fully equipped kitchen with good size coffee mugs and nice cutlery and crockery. Lovely spacious master bedroom with separate dressing area. At the back of the property so no noise from the street if window closed. Couple of minor negatives: It was noisy in the front bedroom due to the old sash windows and stag/hen groups spilling out of the pubs nearby. Very hot in the apartment but a large fan was provided which was a godsend. The mattress protectors and sheets on the single beds were too small due to the extra thick mattresses (lovely!) so they kept pinging off and rucking up every night with two fidgety kids being a bit uncomfortable. Was very pleased to find there is a washer/dryer at the property...just wish it had been listed in the description...I would have taken less clothes! Highly recommended and would definitely go again!

“We had a lovely stay, beautifully appointed apartment, clean and tastefully decorated and great central location.”

Thankyou.

“There was no hot water on the day of arrival and the freezer wasn't working - but both defects were remedied on the following day.”

On the second day of our stay we decided to use the oven for a celebratory meal only to find that it didn't work. An electrician arrived on the third day and found that the oven had been put in position with no plug attached to the bare wires (he fitted a plug). Clearly no-one had bothered to check that the oven was working before letting the apartment! Other minor issues: a shortage of place mats and no washing-up liquid for those like us who do not use a dishwasher.

- M J, July 2021

Thank you for your valuable feedback and please accept our apologies that the oven was not connected prior to your stay. The kitchen is newly fitted and you were the first guests to stay and this was an oversight. We will check on changeover regarding the placemats as the owner bought a number of them which were located in a kitchen cupboard. We look forward to welcoming you back to another Dream Cottage soon.

The property

Enjoying a superb seafront location overlooking the magnificent Jurassic coastline, is this fabulous second-floor apartment.

The Kings Statue is a wonderful base for a family or group of friends to call home while taking on all the delights this seaside town has to offer.

Make your way inside and you’ll immediately notice the coastal blue colour scheme, complimented by nautical features and plenty of natural lighting, creating a sumptuous place to cook and relax.

Catering for all your culinary requirements, the kitchen is amply equipped with an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge, freezer and even a dishwasher, so you won’t have to a lift a finger when it comes to washing up!

Gather round the dining table for a delicious home-cooked meal, before taking your pick from the bedrooms, offering a king-size and twin option, both featuring a refreshing décor and plenty of space for your personal items.

Start the day with a quick rinse and pamper in the gleaming shower room, before venturing to a nearby shop in search of the ingredients for a full English breakfast!

The town centre of Weymouth is filled with things to see and do.

Take a stroll along the charming historic harbour which leads you past many cafés and coffee shops where you can treat yourself to a Dorset Cream Tea, or prepare a picnic to take to the Nothe Gardens where you can sit back and watch the local wildlife thrive, looking out for birds and squirrels that roam the grassy areas.

Why not discover Newtons Cove, offering shallow waters and great rock pooling opportunities, and not forgetting the panoramic views around to Portland Harbour and beyond.

Indulge in a wealth of fine eateries at the nearby town of Bridport before shopping around for a souvenir to take home.

Take off on a scenic ramble along the South West Coastal Path, leading all the way to Wyke Regis, or expand your adventures further to the famous Durdle Door and Lulworth cove, both making great days out with the family.

With so much to fill your holiday to-do list, a stay at The Kings Statue will want you returning each year!
