Just a 10 minute walk to the sea and another 20 minutes to the beautiful harbour , bright and airy interior, the apartment is well furnished and very well equipped, we didn’t eat in but well equipped if you needed to and even a dishwasher so you don’t even need to wash up after! All bedding and towels provided too , the place was spotless when we arrived and we had very good communications with Sykes cottages via email on arrival instructions, things to do in Weymouth , how we enjoyed our first night , departing instructions etc. To top it off the weather was warm and sunny all week , we’ve already booked again for next year ! Thank you for a brilliant stay

“The entrance are is a good place to put any beach stuff and a great place to dry wet swimming kit.”

The property was clean and a well stocked with kitchen with utensils. Bedroom and bathroom both neat and clean. The washing machine was a handy thing to have the use of. We have stayed here twice now, and would definitely stay again.

“The place was like most holiday rentals and ok.”

Clean and with most things we needed. Good WiFi service Disappointing there was no toothbrush charger/ razor point in the bathroom which is pretty standard in most bathrooms nowadays. The garage space was great storage and actually the coolest room. However it was awfully hot in the bedroom which is in the roof space and was impossible to keep cool. A tiny fan was provided but it was more a desk fan so made no difference. As others have said the bed needs replacing it’s awfully soft and I came home with a bad back. The photo is a fare representation of the lack of space on one side of the bed but I hadn’t appreciated it and getting into a hot soft bed from the end each time was a pain. As others have said it needs a larger sofa. It’s a small 2 seater so very small for two people who are actually not overweight. The number of stairs would mean people with mobility issues might struggle. Close to the beach and the town.

“Apartment ideally located, everything within walking distance.”

Very light, clean and tidy. In a quiet area.

“Lovely little apartment; clean, tidy, well presented and well quipped.”

It was well located for getting into Weymouth either on foot or by bus and also to get out to the surrounding area. It is in a quiet location off the main road a short walk from the sea front. Would definitely recommend and would not hesitate to book again.

“Lovely place to stay, with easy access to a great pub and a dog friendly park.”

It was well equipped and we loved the little balcony. We found the bed way too soft and couldn't get the fire to work, but as we didn't really need it, it wasn't a problem. Would stay there again.

Had a great holiday Accommodation very good Unfortunately the property was not very clean Stained bed sheets Hairs on furniture and carpets Shower door doesn’t close properly Fire comes on intermittently during the night

“We did find it suitable for our age group has the amount of stairs we’re awkward to go up and down if you were carrying anything.”

The bath in the bedroom was unsafe to use for our age group and the curtain at the one end we found it difficult to close

“Excellent location and standard of fixture and fittings.”

Just could do with a larger sofa to relax on

Cherry May 2023

“Great little base, a couple of problems quickly sorted by maintenance people.”

As I mentioned in guest book, 2 sets of keys would be helpful for separate visits away from property. The reason I gave 3 for comfort was that the bed was too soft for me. Otherwise a perfect stay. BTW, be aware that a long car would struggle to park and would need to go on road further away.

“Lovely little gem in the centre of Weymouth.”

10 minute walk to the beach and shop fronts. Property was clean and tidy with everything you need for a long stay. The property is unusual in it's design (in the best way!), with a converted garage area as the ground floor, but this holds a bookshelf with plenty of books and board games for those rainy evenings. Really lovely stay and felt really at home in this cosy space.

“Abousley loved the property, very cosy, perfect for a romantic getaway.”

Would highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Although property was clean and comfortable it didn’t suit us as we struggled with the stairs as there was no covering on them which we can understand why, there was no storage, and couldn’t see the point of the bath in the bedroom, would suit younger couple

“This is a lovely, quirky property in a convenient location.”

My only criticism would be that a black out blind would be beneficial in the bedroom area.

“The stairs were a little steep in the property and our dog was not to keen.”

But that will not be the case with all dogs,pity it didn't have a small garden as there was a back door.

“The property was compact, clean, tidy, quiet and in a great location, only been a few minutes walk to the beach.”

The added bonus of a parking space right outside was great. There was one drawback with the property that’s stopped me giving it 5 stars - the curtain & blind in the bedroom! Neither stopped any light entering the bedroom and with a security light constantly going off all night behind the property it just shone straight into the room, also as soon as the sun was up, it was like someone had switched the bedroom light on. Had to resort to buying eye masks in the end.

- Justine, April 2022
Rachel April 2022

“Excellent, comfortable and extremely clean.”

Within walking distance to the town, beach and harbour. Nice dog friendly pub just at the bottom of the lane. Comfortable settee and good sized TV for if you want to stay in. Stairs were a little difficult for us but we were fully aware of this from the property description.

The property

Portside is a wonderful, two-story property located in the charming Greenhill district of Weymouth, a few minutes walk to Weymouth's spectacular beach.

For your self-catering stay, this romantic getaway offers a bedroom for two with an en-suite and is conveniently located near local amenities.

Unload your bags and make yourself at home after parking in the off-road parking spot right in front of the property.

The ground level, accessible via the garage, has ample storage for bikes and paddle boards, as well as a convenient cloakroom for freshening up before moving upstairs.

After a day of adventure, return to a contemporary, open-plan living space with attractive décor; prepare a hearty supper for your loved one in the smart, sleek kitchen area, which includes an electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer and dishwasher for an easy cleanup!

Set the dining table for two and toast to your coastal hideaway before snuggling up on the sofa in front of the electric fire to enjoy a movie on the wall-mounted TV.

Climb the stairs to a contemporary double bedroom with slanted ceilings and storage space; before retiring for the night, why not finish the day with a relaxing bubble bath?

A convenient en-suite shower room is ideal for getting ready for the day, before heading downstairs to make a hot cup of coffee straight from the coffee maker, while allowing in some fresh air from the Juliet balcony in the sitting room.

There are plenty of shops and cafés around to stock up on basics or take a break from cooking, as well as a sand and shingle beach to paddle in the waves, stroll along with your dog, or see Sandworld's unique sculptures.

Wildlife enthusiasts will enjoy a visit to the SEA LIFE Centre Weymouth, the serene RSPB Radipole Lake, or the RSPB Lodmoor, while the vibrant town of Weymouth is only a short drive away; explore the old Nothe Fort, walk to the sandy beach for a relaxed afternoon in the sun, and explore the colourful harbour with an ice cream in hand.

Put on your walking shoes and head down Rodwell Trail, a disused railway that now serves as an accessible wildlife corridor connecting Weymouth and the Isle of Portland; visit Portland Castle's heritage garden and Tudor kitchen, the 1960s Portland Bill Lighthouse, before stopping for lunch at a beachside café.

Travel north to Dorchester for a lunch in the beautiful Borough Gardens, a visit to the Roman Town House to see the excavated mosaic floors, ending the day with a well-earned pint at one of the town's numerous traditional pubs.

From Chesil Beach to Cogden Beach, be sure to explore the quieter areas of this famed, fossil-speckled coastline of Dorset; meander through old woodlands, untouched heathland, and find lots of sandy sites to enjoy fresh sea air.

Book your stay at Portside for the perfect romantic coastal getaway.
