We have stayed here before, the property is well situated, the property needs a few jobs doing, the flushing on the toilets are not good, the carpets could do with a clean, the mattress in main bedroom is very hard and uncomfortable it also makes a noise when turning over, could do with more clothes space as well and maybe a shower in the other bathroom but apart from that we had a lovely week

“Still the window in the living room which faces the pub lets water in when it rains that’s not been done since I last reported it this time last year.”

The bed is not comfortable need a new mattress without springs once again bad back and we both couldn’t sleep because every time we moved made noise

“Nice apartment but would be better if the owner done repairs and general up keep.”

Toilets both need attention to flush buttons. Dirty carpet in living room that smells of dogs. Needs a shower in main bar bathroom and towel rail. Most plates got cracks in them. Bed in main bedroom needs new mattress as rock hard. Shame as location brilliant. Also dream cottages need to inform the restaurant downstairs to move the giant flag they have right outside window which blocks view and keeps tapping on the window.

“We stay in this property x2 a year.”

Fantastic location. What a shame the owner hasn't done any upkeep in lounge area. Stains on carpet, wall where table is, has paint peeling off. This has been like it for years Rest of property excellent

“Toilet seats and flushing need attention.”

Praps fans as can’t have windows open at night because of noise from pub .

“Our second year here and as much as we love the location (can spend hours on the balcony watching the world go by) and secure parking it was disappointing to have the same issues as before, along with most reviews on the property.”

Still needs TLC, still needs towel rails, still needs a shower in the main bathroom (essential when there are 4 adults!), and this year we had to boil water in a saucepan for drinks as the kettle was disgusting with lime scale. Really hope these small matters are addressed as this is a great place to stay, for the price it costs for a week's stay it's not a big ask of the owner.

- Rachel, August 2024
Wayne July 2024

“Nice apartment close to everything with great views of harbour and bridge.”

Stayed here last year too and the review consensus was it needed a few tweaks and a little t.l.c.Still applies,though the balcony furniture has been replaced(although the table is black glass and gets VERY hot!!!).This would not stop me staying again,in fact I`ve just booked for next year!!!!!

“Great location.”

Brilliant having a washing machine to wash towels for hygiene. Needs some repairs doing. Window leaking in lounge which floods over window cill. Desperately needs a shower in main bathroom as difficult for 4 sharing to have to wait to go through main bedroom for a shower. Also needs towel rail in main bathroom and toilet button repair. Great views. Overall appartment needs TLC

- Joanne, May 2024
Ron May 2024

“Overall it was a good place to stay.”

There was a slight niggles with just1 toilet roll per toilet. But we overcame that. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay and were very happy to be there. The parking was very handy too.

- Ron, May 2024
Karen January 2024

“Lovely, well situated property.”

Great having a parking space. Comfortable beds, cleanliness was excellent. Downside, the sofa was uncomfortable, dated. Dated furnishings and decor in the lounge. Obvious maintenance work needed on the windows and window ledge in the lounge. But views were amazing, ideally situated for public transport, pubs, restaurants.

The property itself is in good location shops bars restaurants all in walking distance the only downside to the property it’s in need of some repairs where the dining table is near the wall you can tell that it’s either been scraped with the chairs and the plaster is off few scuffs on the walls in most rooms just don’t understand why the are that high up the room window leaks from somewhere the shower is to small my other half couldn’t turn around in it I even struggled a little the mattress are to springy very uncomfortable and when tossing and turning it’s all u can here but over all not a bad stay

- Joanne, October 2023
Gail September 2023

“Unfortunately the property was needing some tlc as very tired looking with paint peeling from window sills and mould.”

It was situated on a very busy road with a night club opposite. Boy racers going up and down into the early hours of the morning would not recommend this to anyone if they are after a relaxing peaceful holiday.

- Gail, September 2023
Ron September 2023

“We have been going with you long time and this time we're quite disappointed with this apartment , it was not the usual standard there is a leak in the small side window which water is coming in and black mould along the window and that doesn't open properly .”

The master bedroom has black mould along the bottom and the paint is peeling off ,and windows so dirty you can't see out off them . Not a good experience

- Ron, September 2023

“Great having a washing machine to wash towels towels during stay.”

Needs a shower in main bathroom and hooks to hang towels. Needs a bit of TLC especially carpet in main room. Lovely views and great location.

- Joanne, September 2023
Rachel July 2023

“Great location for us, great having secure parking, generally a well equipped flat, all good things.”

On the negative side I have to re-iterate what others have said, really needs towel rails in both bathrooms and a shower in the main bathroom, also needs a bit of TLC, fresh paint and a new carpet in the main living area.

- Rachel, July 2023
Jo May 2023

“We had a great stay, the apartment is in a great location.”

The balcony is a good size and having private secure parking was great. The apartment was fully equipped, clean and tidy with fantastic views of the harbour. It had everything that you could wish for apart from a couple of minor things. Firstly, we were two couples so and extra arm chair/comfy chair would have been nice to relax in. A wardrobe would have been good, I know the bedrooms could not fit one in but maybe more hanging space in the hallway? A bit of paint and new carpet in the lounge would have finished the apartment off to a high standard.

- Jo, May 2023

“Brilliant having a washing machine.”

With only 1 towel each person this is a must have. Lovely views. Needs a shower in main bathroom and towel rail. Overall the apartment needs some TLC . Perfect location

- Joanne, May 2023
Ann May 2023

“The scaffolding and green netting spoiled the view from the En-Suite bedroom.”

The associated work created considerable dust which covered the balcony, preventing use of that facility. We do not think it unreasonable to receive a credit for the resulting inconvenience. There is water leaking into the property from the window facing the main road.

- Ann, May 2023
J C April 2023

“Used Enzos, Marlborough Fish & Chips & Jaynes Cafe all very good.”

Scaffolding outside main bedroom window prevented using that bedroom. Good location, spacious flat.

Harbourside apartment is lovely and comfortable but could do with a shower in the bath, also maybe a wardrobe in the main bedroom I have stayed here twice now and would stay here again, close to everything

- Debbie, October 2022
Susan September 2022

“Harbourside apartment is in the best location for harbour, town and beach.”

We found cleanliness facilities and views from all windows 10/10. Our only negatives were the noise from Prezzo restaurant below and sharp corners on the glass topped coffee table in the lounge which scratched my husbands leg We have been to many properties through Dream/Sykes cottages and this is certainly one of the best overall We will definitely book this apartment again

The place his in lovely location to the town but can be very noisy later on in the night place could do with new carpet and repaint can't believe the owners won't do it and furniture his worn same really could be lovely apartment

- Kenneth, August 2022
Alan August 2022

“Noise from pub/nightclub across the road made for difficult sleeping up to 2am.”

Facilities were a bit basic, no where to hang up more than 1 towel in both bathrooms and very small shelf for toiletries seemed a bit cheap for such an expensive apartment.

- Alan, August 2022
Jenny July 2022

“Excellent excellent location its best feature.”

All in walking distance beach, town, harbour. The flat is spacious and overall very good. Has some wear and tear and this would enhance the flat further if it had a refresh. Would stay again.

- Jenny, July 2022
Ann July 2022

“Great location with secure parking.”

Disappointed balcony was very dirty! Had to clean hand rail, glass screens and old wooden furniture before use. Windows dirty. Apartment needs decorating and well worn carpets and furnishings replaced ASAP! No wardrobes in this property only hooks. Have stayed in Harbourside several times but the apartment is now looking neglected. .

- Ann, July 2022
Pam June 2022

“Fabulous location, needs to have outside windows cleaned more regular, furnishings and carpets needs replacing and no wardrobes at the property only hooks on both bedroom walls but overall we enjoyed our stay and have booked again for next year.”

The amenities at the property was good and would recommend to friends but apartment needs upgrading!!!!

- Pam, June 2022

“Apartment was excellant.”

Location was perfect. Would definately recommend this apartment.

- David, May 2022
Paul May 2022

“Lovely apartment in a fantastic location.”

Very clean and well appointed. Good to have our own secure parking space under the building which was a real bonus. Lift was out of action for a couple of days but these things can't be helped. Would definitely like to return at some point.

- Paul, May 2022
Vanda March 2022

“Very nice comfortable flat in a great location, we have stayed in Weymouth for many years and found the on site parking a real bonus.”

We will definitely be staying here again.

Jon September 2021

“Fantastic location, window and balcony views fascinating with boats and people always on the move.”

Lots more to Weymouth than we realised. Can be a bit noisy at times with live bands in the pubs a new the bridge going up but that comes with being where the action is! Apartment really comfortable and with the car park underneath and accessible from the building with lift and stairs to all floors it is so convenient - perfect! Flat shows a bit of wear and tear which I find comforting as can live in it rather than spend the whole time worrying about keeping it all perfect. Super location and flat - will be back.

- Jon, September 2021
Sheena August 2021

“The apartment is ideally situated, with lovely views of the harbour, but is in need of some maintenance.”

Both the window in one bedroom and the Juliet balcony door in the other bedroom did not close properly meaning we could hear more noise than we expected. The door handle to the balcony is loose, the lounge carpet is threadbare in places. The sofa was torn and the back of it was dusty. We had to clean the inside of the kitchen cupboards and drawers, along with the contents, as they were dirty. There was grease on the cooker hood and food splashes on the hob. With a 4 star rating we would have expected better than this. We have been using Dream Cottages for years and this is the first time we have felt disappointed.

“View from balcony, location,super week in weymouth .”

- Diane, July 2021
Carol July 2021

“Lovely flat.”

Excellent position. Very clean.REALLY needs a shower in the main bathroom. Why no dishwasher. Who uses a washing machine on holiday? Balcony chairs pretty bad but dining chairs fitted on the balcony nicely. Lift worked well.

- Carol, July 2021
K & C June 2021

“Wonderful holiday but disappointed by state of apartment.”

2019, I reported glass shelf in fridge missing still missing. Lounge carpet dirty and stained. Cushions dirty, sofa leather torn. En suite shower mould rust. Bath slow to fill takes 10-15 minutes. Mattress protector too small for bed and stained. Light pulls dirty. Balcony loose boards. Really disappointed that these things could have been sorted in lockdown. This a wonderful apartment but sad to see it in need of TLC!

- K & C, June 2021
Marie June 2021

“The apartment was nice and big, with a great location.”

But, the cleaning was not very good - especially as we were told early check in was not possible due to the deep cleaning needed. There was food remnants in the fridge, brown sticky stuff on the kitchen counter and the shower had thick black mould on the shower hose - which we could clean with a bit of scrubbing. The other downside was the lack of shower in the main bathroom - which wasn’t noted in the property description on the Vrbo listing. With a property rented at this price, we expected all the comfort and convenience we have at home - and it was inconvenient to only have a shower in the on suite, that 4 adults had to share. We chose this property for the 2 bathrooms.

- Marie, June 2021
Stephen May 2021

“Carpets in living room stained, walls need a coat of paint, windows do not open or close correctly.”

Light from the harbour bridge lights up the bedrooms making it very difficult to sleep due to no blackout curtains. Vacuum cleaner handle was broken looked like it had not been emptied in months. Furniture showing signs of wear, decking on balcony needs attention.

- Stephen, May 2021
Joanne May 2021

“After having this property for many years, i found this year was far the worst.”

Considering there were supposed to be extra cleaning measures due to covid this was not the case. Upon arrival i had to spend over an hour cleaning and sanatising the property myself. The toilet had remains of excrement, the sofa was dirty and filthy cushions on top, the cooking pans still had food stuck in them so again i had to wash them. The headboards were thick with dust, the bedroom drawers were broken. This does not justify the hours of waiting to go into the property to start the hoilday. If i had not already got the same property booked for this september then i would never have it again. I am very anxious now about it. Could i suggest running a text system for when a property is ready for clients to be able to go in instead of waiting until 5 when there is no need if that property is ready. For buildings with shared lifts this causes problems as everyone arriving wants the lifts the same time. Also i once again express that the time does not justify the cleaning done.

“The balcony door doesn’t lock.”

Why advertise a dishwasher and leave tablets to use when there is no dishwasher. There does seem to be an awful lot of crockery for four people.

- Kim, October 2020

“I think that for a holiday let the one thing missing is a dishwasher rather than the washing machine that is installed”

“Luxurious flat in a fabulous position overlooking interesting activity of fishing boats in harbour and also towards the town bridge and town from the side.”

All windows, including bedrooms had a seaview.

“Only to say we have used dream cottages before this stay was the best well done.”

- Len, August 2019
Emma August 2019

“Harbourside Apartment was in a fantastic location.”

My little boy loved watching the bridge going up and down to let the boats sail through. A little noisy during the weekend nights but to be expected in a town. The apartment had everything we needed and was well stocked with kitchen equipment, utensils and even a few books and games. I would recommend it to others.

The flat is very nice clean and very comfortable, the only disappointment was that there is no wardrobe in bedrooms, also the shower is very small and the water was a bit slow, but apart from that I would definitely stay they again

K & C June 2019

“Firstly the staff at the Dream cottage located in Weymouth were superb.”

Great support as it was our first time at the property. The Apartment was fantastic with great views over the harbour. HOWEVER - It is a pity that a Nightclub is located just across the road from the Apartment. We were constantly being woken by the very noisy music (especially the base drum!) right through until around 3am. This was the only negative issue about the Apartments location.

- K & C, June 2019

“Lift does not always respond if going down to garage.”

Seems to work ok going up and all other destinations. Intercom to front door may not be working. Sometimes the door from the garage will not open from the garage side and the shutter to the garage sometimes takes a while to work (may be the battery in the fob). I will be leaving a review on trip advisor telling about all the good points of the accommodation without mentioning these items as they would not have been a problem had I not been in a wheelchair. Otherwise the apartment is great with perfect views over the bridge and harbour.

- Ian, May 2019
Jane April 2019

“The property description is incorrect - it says one of the bedrooms has a king-sized bed which was important for us when we booked as my husband is 6ft 5" but in fact the bed is only queen sized (5ft wide) not king-sized (6ft wide) - it also had a very hard mattress which was therefore uncomfortable for us (however I do appreciate that mattress firmness is a personal preference).”

I also note that the curtains in the main bedroom did little to keep the light out - with the town lifting bridge so close and multiple street lights on all night the curtains did little to darken the room at night only providing privacy and as a consequence I had to go out and buy a sleep eye mask to use all week. The apartment could also have been cleaned better with a large clump of hair on arrival on a bedroom floor and a used plaster in a bowl of pot pourrii. The location was however great.

The property

Harbourside Apartment is part of an up-market development right on the harbourside by the town bridge in Weymouth.

The apartment is light and airy and furnished to a high standard, offering very comfortable accommodation for all ages as it can be accessed via a lift or stairs.

The open plan living kitchen dining room offers wonderful sights over the harbour and town bridge and each of the two bedrooms have great views, so you can while away many an hour gazing outof the windows whilst relaxing with a drink.

Located right in the hustle and bustle of the lively town centre, you are in walking distance to a variety of eating places; a la carte dining on the harbourside, Italian cuisine, fresh seafood or good old-fashioned fish and chips - all are available within a few minutes’ walk.

Weymouth's Georgian seafront with its golden sands and shallow waters is just a short stroll away or why not just sit with a glass of wine as the sun sets and enjoy watching the passing boats from your balcony.

In the height of summer, the bridge opens every two hours during the day to allow the boats to pass in and out of the harbour, a spectacle to behold for adults and children alike.

With so much on the doorstep you could be forgiven for not venturing further afield, but if you do, don’t forget to visit, Portland Bill, Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door and Chesil Beach, all spectacular in their own right.

This apartment is perfect for a couples retreat or for two couples to come and enjoy a holiday together.

Festivals will cause some inconvenience due to some road closures and parking restrictions. Should you require any further assistance or clarification on this please do not hesitate to contact us.

About the location

BREWERS QUAY HARBOUR

Dorchester 8.7 miles; West Lulworth 15.8 miles

Brewers Quay is the old Victorian brewery situated at the heart of the harbour, in Weymouth, Dorset. Much of the grade II listed complex and surrounding brewery buildings date from the late 1800 early 1900’s and many have stones inlaid commemorating their construction year. This area is now a popular destination with many restaurants, café and bars, creating a vibrant culture, where you can relax with a drink and watch the world go by. Tucked away down the harbourside streets, you will find original Tudor harbour buildings, estimated to have been built in 1600 and well worth a visit, with a very interesting history to share. You will also find the Weymouth Museum, with some incredible exhibitions, and the harbour is also home to the lifting bridge, where you can watch the luxury yachts head out to sea, and then walk over the bridge to the town's winding streets of boutique shops and the seafront esplanade and beach. There is more to this seaside town than meets the eye; Brewers Quay is a much-loved holiday destination in Weymouth!

Whilst the apartment is accessible by a lift, this access to the property should not be solely relied upon, as if not in operation due to maintenance/fault you will need to use the stairs.
Please note: Building entrance has three steps up from the main street.
Please note: Parking size 1.8m high x 2.3m wide and 5m length
