“Well equipped roomy rental.”

The garden leading on to the promenade and sea is a great bonus. It was a cold Easter weekend and the heating had been turned down, we were initially unable to turn it up and got very cold. No- one was available to help. Eventually we discovered that the battery in the control was non functional and after replacing it all was OK.Otherwise great place.

“It was a lovely place, just what the ad said.”

Unfortunately we has issues with the windows in our bedroom, leaking through the frame and we couldn't close the the sashes properly so the wind was blowing in. A maintenance guy did come and put tape up as a temporary measure and managed to close the windows properly, so that helped. Water still came in but not as bad. Also, there is a super large room with a superb view, but was disappointing that there was no en-suite facilities up there! This would make it perfect. Had to sleep in the downstairs room for the en-suite as I couldn't keep running up and down stairs to use the loo due to arthritis, so missed out on the best view because of it. (a minor point, please have more than 1 ply toilet tissue in the place, when paying for a luxury apartment, you do expect luxury, not super economy!) Other than that, an excellent place and would very much recommend it.

“We’ve stayed here several times over the years - it’s the perfect place for reflection, rest and relaxation while listening to the sound of the waves as they break against the pebbles.”

Thank you

Gail October 2023

“Beautiful apartment well equipped with plenty of space.”

The only concerns were that the sinks in the main on suite and the large shower room didn’t drain properly so we had to clear them to make the sinks usable & the small twin bedroom smelled very damp & had some staining on the ceiling in the alcove above the dresser indicating there may be a leak from above.

“Excellent stay but an upstairs toilet would make it even better”

- Merrian, September 2023
Jacqueline September 2023

“Absolutely loved the appartment.”

Would definitely benefit from a toilet and sink in the upstairs bedroom (then even us old 'unsure would fight for the bedroom). Also the single mattresses need replacing. Not so bouncy next time. But the location and Weymouth itself are 10/10. We were so lucky with weather, didn't think we'd be eating breakfast in the garden on the last day of September. Thanks for a wonderful week.

“This is a marvellous holiday property in terms of its location and facilities.”

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and would happily stay there again. The reasons we couldn't quite give it 5 stars relate to: - minor issue: surfaces and dining table were not entirely clean on arrival - more serious issue: during our stay the drains backed up (during the night and after a heavy rain shower) with dirty water in the front bedroom bathtub and the overflow in the tub running continuously. Even after the water subsided, the overflow continued to run for the remainder of our stay. We reported this to the Sykes helpline and were told an engineer would call at the property. We do not know whether an engineer attended because despite further contact by email we received no further response from Sykes. Whilst drains backing up could well be a problem beyond Sykes' control, relating to mains drains capacity etc, we were disappointed with the way that Sykes dealt with us on the matter.

“This is our second stay in this property and had a lovely time, however we were disappointed to find the twin room beds and curtain had not been replaced from our previous stay in 2021.”

Beds are worn and mildew on the curtain remains and one bed is really close to that. Mattress protectors were also stained which we discovered on stripping the beds as requested upon departure which wasn't great to discover and that room hadn’t been hoovered behind the beds either. That aside everything else is top quality and we really like the location and space that this property offers so much so We have booked again for next year and hope the twin room issues are resolved!

Claire October 2022

“Fantastic apartment with amazing views.”

Had a great week staying here we didn’t use the car once as we could walk to everything & we were so lucky with the weather we sat outside for lunch many times. The apartment is huge plenty of space for 6 there’s 3 bathrooms & lots of cupboard space for all your items. Garage space is a bonus & it’s huge! Highly recommend & will definitely book again.

“This was the 2nd time we stayed at the apartment.”

Plenty of room to relax with a lot of comfort. Heating was very good. Didn’t need much of a boost to warm the apartment .Great parking space. Whilst it was a bit of a walk into Weymouth, it was on the flat with lovely sea views, so it was very enjoyable . If I was being picky, these were the problems - the internal courtyard security night light flashing on and off all night continues to be irritating / the oven is not clean/ the dishwasher needs a deep clean/ why oh why is such an old TV being used. At the price of the apartment (and I'm not complaining about the cost at all) I would expect a smart TV at the very least . We don't go out on an autumn evening so we like to see good programmes which may not be on terrestrial TV. Finally, having spent so much money renovating the apartment, why isn't there a toilet at least in the upstairs bedroom. You try and go downstairs on the steep stairs in the night to go to the loo!!!! Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay very much and are planning to return in the spring!

- Elizabeth, September 2022
Jane September 2022

“The apartment is lovely, however we were disappointed with a number of things.”

First and foremost, the apartment had not been properly cleaned - one of the bathrooms had not been cleaned at all and had no toilet paper. There were no spare toilet rolls, or basic cleaning products, meaning we had to go and buy some. There was a very unpleasant smell in the twin room. We concluded it may be damp if the room hadn’t been used for a time. The bed nearest the door in that room was likened to “sleeping in a hammock” as the mattress was so soft and uncomfortable. And as many other guests have noted, the courtyard light constantly goes on and off all night. The stairs to the upstairs bedroom could do with stair grippers as they were quite slippy and felt unsafe. There was a nasty stain on the carpet in the downstairs front bedroom. None of these things ruined our stay, but having used Dream Cottages many times, we feel it fell short of their usually high standards

Richard August 2022

“We had a lovely time at Beach View.”

Just a few niggles: (1) We found the windows very hard to open and close. There were no instructions about how they ought to work. (2) The wifi reception is patchy. It should not be difficult or expensive these days to install a system that works throughout the flat. (3) Some of the bathroom towel rails seemed to have an electrical connection that would allow them to be heated separately from the main central heating. There is a switch labelled “Towel rails” in the utility room but this did not do anything.

- Richard, August 2022
Michael June 2022

“Contacted Dream cottage 09:00 with 3 issues, 30 minutes later received a phone call regarding same.”

We popped into Dorchester for a few hours upon our return all issues fully resolved. Brilliant. Full marks to Dream Cottage

“We were very pleased with the apartment and have already booked for September 22.”

There was plenty of room to spread out . The beds were very comfortable and the showers were great. We didn't use the bedroom upstairs as there wasn't a loo and I thought the stairs were quite steep for me. The kitchen china was plentiful and I was happy to use the cooker oven as it was so clean. Only 3 areas of concern 1. The quality of the TV channels. I understand that the signal may not be as good as inland areas but most nights we were scrabbling around for decent programmes to watch . Surely it can be improved 2. No Dvd' s to watch on DVD player ???? 3. The security light (Inner courtyard) was flashing on and off all night . So anyone in the downstairs twin bedroom would have a very uncomfortable night's sleep. I understand that the problem is currently being resolved. Overall, we had a great holiday in Weymouth and the quality of the apartment contributed to that.

Corinne May 2022

“Absolutely beautiful property and a stunning location with the best sea views.”

The apartment has been thoughtfully kitted out for self-catering and is comfortable. You couldn’t be in a better position for the beach, Lodmoor nature reserve and the sealife centre. It’s about a 20 minute walk into town, slightly less to the lovely cafe at the eastern end of the harbour. I would highly recommend and I’m tempted to book for next year!!

- Corinne, May 2022
Steve April 2022

“This holiday apartment was in the ideal location for us as one of the guests was 90 years old with mobility issues.”

The apartment itself was larger than we needed - it was fantastic! Facilities were great and of high quality. The town cwntre was a short walk away and I visited the RSPB Reserve at Lodmoor 4 times. If I had fancied an early morning swim this was the ideal location and seemed very popular with early morning swimmers. The views from the apartment and garden were great - there is always something new to see. An ideal spot for visiting local attractions - Sealife Centre (just across the road), Abbotsbury Sub Tropical Gardens & the Swannery - both well worth a visit plus all of the attractions in Weymouth itself. We booked this apartment for its location and it didn't disappoint.

Joanna July 2021

“Great apartment in a fabulous location.”

The apartment is bigger than we expected, loads of space. Sea views from 2 out of 3 bedrooms and the main living room. 20 minute walk into Weymouth centre along the flat promenade. Pebble beach opposite apartment with clear and clean sea (sandy under the sea) perfect for swimming/paddleboarding. Not busy as crowds are on the sandy beach in centre of Weymouth. Good location for lots of sightseeing, Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove, Corfe Castle. Parking for 1 car on drive (and 1 in garage). Opposite Sealife (good for younger children) and half an hour from Dorest Water Park (great for older children). Great holiday.

- Joanna, July 2021
Sheila July 2021

“Lovely well appointed property with everything you need other than only freeview tv.”

Views to die for disappointed it is booked up already for 2022 otherwise we would have booked again. Sykes/Dream cottages have always given exceptional service including this year.

- Sheila, July 2021
Jean June 2021

Gertraud May 2021

“We had a lovely holiday in this beautiful located property.”

It was fitted with everything we needed. The views are just amazing. Walking out straight to the beach or going for long walks along the coastal path. Lovely planted garden too. Many thanks, we definitely will book again. One point to improve might be the mattress in the upstairs bedroom.

- Gertraud, May 2021

“Beautiful place, overlooking the sea.”

Within easy walk of the town. Will be going back. Sykes cottages were so helpful and acted promptly when a toilet broke, repaired within 24 hours. I can honestly say I’d recommend booking a holiday with Sykescottages thank you

“Absolutely amazing place It was absolutely gorgeous we couldn’t fault it the rooms where nicely made up and the kitchen was beautiful and all the extras.”

Jean June 2019

“We've been at this apartment a few times as we love the fact that the garden opens directly onto the promenade.”

Only a a few issues: 1. The mattress protectors make for a sweaty night 2. I found the brown leather settees uncomfortable and so spent my time sitting at the table or on the hall furniture. Also closing the recliner on the seat in the window was virtually impossible. 3. A toilet and hand basin upstairs would make the room more usable. 4. The outside bench needs some additional support under its seat Hope this is useful information

- Jean, June 2019
Denise June 2018

“Our stay at Appartment 2, Beach View, Greenhill on both occasions has been excellent.”

It accommodated us well, as being disabled it had a garage for my mobility scooter and was easy access. We would have stayed again, but this coming June (2019) we need to bring our dog (our dog sitter aka our son, is unable to take annual leave at that time), and alas pets are not allowed, hence booking Tides Corner.

Mrs Julia Jones Jul 2017

“The apartment was excellent, it is spacious, very clean and very well equipped with everything you could possibly need.”
