“Very Poor Cleaning - Greasy marks on the mirrors and windows, mildew around the bath, broken panel at the end of the bath
Filthy bathroom lighting pull cord for the main light and the bathroom mirror
Filthy Balcony Furniture - Cob-webs and bird mess on both chairs
Balcony faces the Post Office sorting office so no view, no privacy, lots of road and pedestrian noise.”
Seagulls were a little noisey but got used to their cackling
Smell of Cigerettes & Weed at the entrance and on the second floor

Parking permit for G & H areas - There is a loading bay outside the property that you can unload and take to your appartment. However, you should have someone sitting in your vehicle just incase the traffic warden comes around. We experienced this and were given the time he went around the block to get all of our bags to the second floor, pick-up the G & H street parking permit, and then spend 25 minuts looking for a parking place nearby. You can parking with the permit at the Pavilion Car park which is near the beach or an even longer distance to Swannery Car Park. NOTE - There are a couple of small car parks and a multi-storey car park nearer to the appartment but you will need to pay out of your own pocket to stay there. Extra NOTE - If you do park near the mariner you can only park for free from 18:00 to midnight. We met a family who have stayed around this area around Lower St Alban Street and they got a PCN.
Would we come back to Weymouth - Absolutely yes. Beautiful sandy beaches, lovely blue water, crab fishing (not sure if they are edible) and lots of places to eat.
Places to visit - Portland Island - Absolutely beautiful views across the english channel, War memorials around the island was very moving
Post Office Dept - daily Opening of car park shutters at 03:55 - Noisey and disrupted our sleep. Rolling cages, loud talking added to our annoyance.
At Night - Lots of slamming doors coming into and out of the appartment block, cars playing loud music, shouting in the early hours for several of the days and the most noticable sound, which was continuous when you notice it, is this low pulsing / humming generator sound. I could not pin-point were it was coming from but it sounded like it was coming from the Post Office depot across the road. Its one of those things that once you hear it you cannot un-hear it.
View from the appartment - Looks directly accross to the sorting office. Cannot have any curtains open so were left half closed to maintain privacy. This meant the rooms were dark most of the time
View from the balcony - Early morning, during the day and evening is very noisey. Seating area is a good size for several people to sit and have a chat and drink but the noise is very distracting and annoying as you cannot hear each other talking. There is no view except the one-way road below and the Post Office sorting depot.
In a nutshell, a lovely sized appartment for 4 people, 2 x rooms, one decent sized living room with a small but adequate dining table and sofa for 3 people. lots of power sockets, all the usual domestic appliances, microwave, toaster, kettle, Oven, Fridge / Freezer but could do with regular deep cleening to be honest.
Thanks for the feedback. I'm sorry the flat was not more to your liking. It is of course cleaned regularly after each guest, but I will discuss your other points with the cleaners. You'll appreciate that with such a central location, there will always be a level of activity which you won't get with a property further out of town. I hope you enjoyed your holiday overall.
