“The accommodation was very comfortable and spacious and we had everything we needed.”

It was great to be so close to the seafront. The only thing I would say is that we kept tripping on the coffee table, as it is so low. So we moved it to one side during our stay. Also, there was a leak from the ceiling in the kitchen when it rained.

“Thank you for a lovely place to stay for our holiday.”

Starfish apartment had everything we needed and was within walking distance of the beach and a supermarket. The beds were comfy and the apartment lovely and clean. We enjoyed the puzzle too.

Amie September 2023

“This was out first family holiday with our 10 month old baby.”

I was a little nervous, however it was perfect! Perfect location (10 min walk to the front) the apartment was very comfortable and included everything we needed. I have had numerous stays with Dream Cottages and will continue to always come back, we love Weymouth and it holds special memories for my family.

Donald September 2023

“The Flat location within Weymouth was very good.”

Easy to find and local amenities close by, including pubs and shops. Flat had plenty of space. Short walk to the sea front. Approx 10 mins . Only draw back was the grounds, car port area and the car park could do with a good clean and tidy up.

“The key safe is very difficult to open and close not very user friendly.”

The stairs are very step to carry bags.The entrance hall was shabby needed some TLC. The yale lock on the apartment door is not very secure and the dead lock needs adjusting it is very stiff. The shelves in the kitchen cupboards are to high, could not reach without standing on a chair not very safe. Not a very well thought out kitchen.T The bath needed a hand rail to help getting in and out of the shower very slippy.The toilet bowl needed a thorough clean very stained I tried using a dishwasher tablet to clean it.The bedding and towels were first class. This is the worst Sykes Cottage we have ever been to.

“We had a lovely stay and wouldn't hesitate to stay again.”

Short walk to beach was great and we had everything we needed within easy reach.

“A couple of negatives: When we arrived, as soon as my daughter touched the toilet roll holder, it fell off the wall.”

Presumably it fell off when the previous occupants were in there and they just bodged it back on. I've fitted those myself and I know the screw had come undone, so it's easily fixed. I left it on the cabinet in the hall. The kitchen needs an extra baking tray. Cooking for three people, if you're doing e.g. fish and oven chips, one small tray isn't enough. One of the single beds - the one that's furthest from the door - is very 'squishy' and gave my daughter backache. I think it would be worth the owner getting a new mattress for that one ASAP. The carpets could do with a good clean. When I ran the vacuum over them, they stank. This may be because you allow pets in the apartment, I don't know but they are very dirty. That's the negatives. On the positive side, the apartment is a good size and apart from an additional baking tray, the facilities provided are adequate. It was nice to have decent WiFi, and Netflix (although the TV remote isn't easy to use - it keeps hanging up and you have to press the 'OK' button several times in order to get it to do anything). I would say what we paid was very fair and overall I am very satisfied with our experience.

“The position of the key safe was unclear, it should read 'There is a bank of key safes on the left from the car park, Star Fish safe is the one on the second row'.”

The top shelf in the kitchen cupboard was unreachable and I (an 84 year old) had to stand on a chair to reach a basin. A lack of kitchen equipment e.g. small saucepans, milk jugs, casserole type dishes. Apart from this the apartment was comfortable, spotlessly clean and car parking a bonus. It was a little further from Weymouth centre than we thought but nevertheless a most enjoyable holiday.

“Lovely stay in Weymouth apartment comfortable very close to everything”

Geoff July 2021

“A comfortable and cosy apartment which was perfect for our stay.”

Very convenient 10-15 minute stroll to the main area of Weymouth. This was important to us as Weymouth has traffic problems.

- Geoff, July 2021
Sarah July 2021

“Everything is as described on the website.”

The apartment is clean & comfortable and has everything a family needs for home from home.

Veronica September 2020

“The beds were comfortable with good quality linens.”

The furniture was a good standard and overall very pleasant accommodation. Parking was simple and plenty of room and location was easy walking to beach or the town. Maybe a fridge only would have been preferable to a fridge/freezer but I would choose to stay here again.

- Veronica, September 2020
Graham August 2020

“A welcome pack would have been appreciated, there was no washing up liquid ,and just a single toilet roll ,if we had known we would have brought them with us.”

- Graham, August 2020
Nicola August 2020

“We enjoyed the living space, and the bedrooms were comfortable.”

The fridge is not adequate for self catering or indeed 4 people. I noticed someone else had commented on this and you had replied you were making changes. I would recommend a decent sized fridge which would have saved us throwing away food. Also the oven was not adequate and took nearly two hours to reheat a lasagne at 220 degrees. We liked being able to walk to the beach and the apartment is well situated for that.

- Nicola, August 2020
Kate August 2020

“The light on the hallway outside the flat was flickering terribly.”

The kitchen could have done with a higher clean as there were cobwebs along the shelving and top of boiler.

- Kate, August 2020

Thanks for your feedback. The light will be attended to and the cobwebs removed. Dream Cottages Property Owner

“Lovely place to relax.”

Very near to the sea. Had an amazing time. Can't recommend it enough.

Stewart September 2019

“Poor value for the money, shabby bathroom, poor shower, dirty microwave, intermittent kettle, poor wy-fi, DVD player missing, the beds were clean and comfortable.”

Our Sykes holiday last year was much better value for money. It was a lovely cottage.

- Stewart, September 2019

Thank you for your feedback which we have taken on board and are making improvements for 2020. Property Owner
Bob September 2019

“Window blinds joined to the windows with a mass of cobwebs.”

Sofas both in need of immediate replacement. Horrendous smell in bathroom resulting in us having to wash walls & floor & descale the shower head. Ovan so dirty it was unusable. Fridge totally inadequate for a family of 4. Main entrance communal areas very shabby. How this warrants three star accomodation is beyond us :(

- Bob, September 2019

Thank you for your feedback. Improvements are being made for 2020. Property Owner
Natalie August 2019

“Should say it is a residential flats, people getting up early for work and don’t appreciate we are on holiday with 2 kids so banging on the floor or ceiling to let us know this at 9pm at night doesn’t really help.”

Flat could do with a good clean crockery clearly not been checked or cleaned after last people, sofa needs updating in front room the seat has gone. Close to the beach and amenities. Parking also should have mentioned you go under a car port we had a box on roof and wouldn’t go under so we had to take it off in the street!!

- Natalie, August 2019
Shaun July 2019

“Everything required for our hols was available in the cottage.”

Key easily found too and we had a great holiday

- Shaun, July 2019

Thank you for your feedback, we are glad you enjoyed your stay and we hope to be able to welcome you back soon. Property Owner
Richard July 2019

“The flat was as stated, the shower was very good and bath very slippery as warned.”

The beds were too soft but that is only personal preference. The leather sofa was very comfortable, the scatter cushions need replacing though. The sofa under the bay window really needs to be replaced as it is so uncomfortable, all the stuffing has gone out of it.

- Richard, July 2019
David June 2019

“Spacious and comfortable,would book again.”

- David, June 2019
Kate May 2019

“We arrived at star fish apartment the key facility was wonderful, even the internal key had a little mark on it so you couldn't get confused.”

Apartment was exactly as described and really homely and comfortable. I was a little disappointed with how dusty things were but it was clean. Parking was good as the road gets very busy. The town centre was easy to find down a little ally way which took us 10 mins with 2 little ones in tow. WiFi a little slow at times but also ran out of data after 4 days. There was an option to top up but quite expensive. Which ment on a cosy evening you couldn't watch the sky provided and the freeview had very limited channels. There are lots of dvds provided but no dvd player! This apartment all in all didn't disappoint so much so we have booked again for next year.

- Kate, May 2019
David May 2019

“Fridge was a bit small but we managed.”

One set of wooden slated blinds in the bay window were broken so they wouldn’t open. Regards accuracy of listing , there is little information of the flats actual location until you pay the bill you can only get the location of the owners office. The TV wasn’t tuned in to get all free view channels through the Sky box. Contacted owners who were going to send an engineer round but never arrived. Tuned TV in myself but not through the Sky box.

“The washing machine was dirty inside the door rubber bit.”

The actual quote on the single bed needed washing.

Miss Krista Wilson Jun 2016

“A lovely flat in an ideal location.”

10 mins to sea front or macdonalds/kfc. Everything you needed in flat, parking never a problem. Weymouth is lovely too ideal for my boys aged 5 and 8 years. Stayed May 2016

- Miss Krista Wilson, Jun 2016
Miss Hearne May 2016

“Lovely property in the perfect location.”

2 minute walk from the beach and in great driving distance of many beautiful places. Very clean and tidy. Bedrooms were extremely modern and kitchen was perfectly acceptable for the small amounts we cooked. Would definitely recommend! Stayed April 2016

Adjacent to the beach is the bustling town centre with several high street names and quirky independent shops.

Alongside the traditional fish and chips, try out cuisines from all around the world as they can be found among many Weymouth’s restaurants, enjoy a relaxing supper or just a drink after sunset to unwind after a busy day.

To entertain you in the evening you have a vast choice - enjoy a movie night in a multi-screen cinema or test your skills in the Escape Dungeon.
