“Friday 13th Sept-Monday 16th Sept This is an amazing property,great location,beautifully decorated,clean and very well equipped.”

We were a party of 10 adults and 2 children and there was plenty of space for everyone. A superb kitchen dining area if you wanted to self cater. We booked this as my husband did the Ironman,it was a great location for this event too. There was a welcoming pack of lovely treats which was a lovely touch. Would definitely book again.

“Amazing stay in beautiful house.”

We were mixed age family group celebrating a birthday. The house was brilliant and set up perfectly for our older relative who had the ground floor bedroom. So much space and great for gathering together. The welcome pack was so thoughtful and really appreciated by everyone. Can’t recommend enough, close to beach and amenities and we had a wonderful stay

So clean and well equipped. And a lovely welcome package awaiting us. Parking for cars very good. One behind gates, second has blue badge so was also close by.

“A wonderful holiday experience!”

A family time to celebrate our Golden Wedding Anniversary, with our 2 daughters their husbands & 4 Grandchildren. The property was everything that it said it would be & more!! The rooms were spacious & had all the amenities that we could all possibly need! I honestly could not have been more delighted with the choice! Thank you to the owner & Sykes Holiday Cottages for a truly memorable & joyous experience.

“Amazingly well equipped kitchen .”

Lovely decor throughout The outside area could be improved aesthetically and add a bbq and a table to eat outdoors and the paintwork was unattractive The main lounge doesn't work for watching the tv due to its position and the room could be a great games room with the addition of a pool table for wet weather entertainment and putting a tv over the fireplace to create an inclusive cinema room All in all a great stay that with a few tweaks could be fabulous

“The best stay!”

We split the holiday and had 2 days with 10 women celebrating and then 4 days for 2 families. Both groups had such a great time. I never stayed in a holiday home that has everything covered. Everything has been thought of. Would definitely stay again!

- Emily, May 2024
Neil December 2023

“Excellent location with close proximity to the sea and the town centre.”

Ideal for all ages with two sitting rooms to accommodate young and older. The kitchen was well equipped with a very generous and well received welcome tray of goodies, a dining table to fit 12 and comfortable beds. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Dealing with the recyclable rubbish was a challenge as we couldn’t find any instructions.

Jaqui December 2023

“The property was amazing with a well-equipped kitchen, plenty of space, most rooms with ensuite bathrooms, a great location close to the beach and town and, to top it all off, beautiful Christmas decorations.”

The house was more like a home than a holiday rental. We had a family Christmas reunion with people travelling from across the globe to meet up and we were delighted to find that Seaside House exceeded our expectations. Thank you to the owner for the welcome gifts as well!

- Jaqui, December 2023
Alice-anne September 2023

“An amazing property which more than accommodated for our group.”

Great location to everything especially a bus stop at the top of the road. Plenty of room for all and would not hesitate to recommend.

“Very pleased with the house and location , handy to shop 100m away and sea front only 200 m, we all enjoyed our stay.”

Tim August 2023

“The property was comfortable, well equipped and spacious which was important as we came together as a family to celebrate our Golden Wedding.”

The position to the seafront was excellent, which was especially enjoyed by the 5 young grandchildren. Thank you for the excellent welcome pack which was enjoyed by everyone. It was a delightful property with character which was ideal for making memories of a great family holiday by the sea.

- Tim, August 2023
Jane July 2023

“We had such an amazing stay!”

The accommodation was beautiful, clean and spacious. We had a ‘welcome package’ which was a lovely touch. The only suggestion we’d make is around the check out time. As a big family with young children, 10am was a bit of a rush. Other than that, we couldn’t fault it! Would definitely recommend and hope to stay again :D

- Jane, July 2023
Sarah June 2023

“Our stay was wonderful.”

The house is beautifully decorated and has lots of space (there were 10 of us for a family celebration). It had everything we needed and more, so many bathrooms! It is such a short walk to get to the sea. We would love to stay again.

- Sarah, June 2023
Louise June 2023

“Beautifully presented and everything you could think of that you would need, was there.”

We were a family with kids and there was space for all 12 of us to sit around the table and have our breakfast/ dinner and to play games. The house was also spacious enough, so we where not on top off ourselves. Located 5 mins walk to the beach but quietly located from the hustle and bustle, perfect!

- Louise, June 2023
Elizabeth June 2023

“What an incredible property!”

Such an ideal position and perfect for the multi generational family. The thoughtful owner went above and beyond to provide equipment pertinent to our needs, and also provided a generous welcome pack. The only quibbles we had were with the temperature in the very top room that might have benefited from a fan to cool it down. The downstairs bedroom needed blackout blinds ideally to stop the light from street lights shining in. Would happily go back and stay for longer!

- Elizabeth, June 2023
Nicola April 2023

“What a fabulous house, great location and everything you’d need for a holiday at the seaside.”

The little extras on arrival were very welcome. One thing which would make it perfect is to have access to terrestrial tv, not just BBC1. Thank you, we’ll definitely be using Dream Cottages again!

- Nicola, April 2023
Rachel April 2023

“A really lovely place.”

Great location with everything we needed to hand. Kitchen very well equipped. Perfect accomodation for multiple families. Very clean and well kept. Overall we had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend and/or book again if we were back in the area. Was great to have the extra car parking passes as we were 3 separate families. The only one downside for us personally was temperature of rooms. The house was very warm when we arrived and we turned all of the radiators down unfortunately we couldn't work out how to turn down the heated towel rails in the bathrooms down which did make them a little uncomfortable at times. If we had been staying longer we would have contacted the owner to see if we could rectify but by the second night it was our last night anyway so didn't bother. I remember reading a review about someone saying they were cold in the property - the complete opposite for us lol! Feedback for Sykes - we contacted Sykes through the app a few days before arrival with a question regarding the beds and bedding. This was responded to after we had actually been in the property one night already (so was too late) and didn't actually answer our question satisfactorily as it just literally copied what we could read on the website so that was a little poor. Absolutely no reflection on the property or property owner though.

- Rachel, April 2023
Ann March 2023

“Wonderful property in excellent location.”

Understand that the heating is set at various times. However given how cold it was last week it would have been appreciated if the heating had been on for an hour or so before 4pm so that it gave a warm and comfy feel opposed to us trying to find out how to boost it. Otherwise Wonderful.

- Ann, March 2023
Andrew November 2022

“Excellent property in a really good location within the town - and good value.”

Very clean and well equipped. Highly recommended unless you want to go to Weymouth to watch tv - the main tv was the only one that worked and the picture on that was poor.

- Andrew, November 2022
Katie November 2022

“Seaside House is a wonderful property!”

It had everything we needed and is a great house! We had a lovely stay! Thank you!

- Katie, November 2022
Pam November 2022

“The property was well suited for a group of friends with so many rooms with en suites.”

It has a & well stocked & quality kitchen. The adjoining dining room was stylish, very comfortable for mealtimes and it was lovely to retreat upstairs to the lounge. We would all happily return here again.

- Pam, November 2022
Kay August 2022

“For a family of 10 with ages ranging from 5 months to 89 years old it was perfect.”

Space for everyone, facilities top class, particularly in the kitchen. Parking permits were a great help and of course proximity to the beach and promenade could not be bettered and in a pleasant, quiet road. Would certainly recommend.

- Kay, August 2022
Lyn August 2022

“A beautifully presented and well equipped house.”

We have stayed in many rental holiday properties over the years and this is amongst one of the best. We had a wonderful family holiday and would certainly consider it again and recommend to family and friends.

- Lyn, August 2022
Michael August 2022

“A very nice property with all the mod con’s in a lovely location, The only ...”

A very nice property with all the mod con’s in a lovely location, The only thing I would have a grumble about is the fact that I was expected to strip the beds and empty the dishwasher on the morning before we left the property, other than that I would recommend this property to all my family and friends

- Michael, August 2022

Thankyou for taking the time to write your review and I'm really pleased that you had an enjoyable stay at Seaside House. Thankyou too for bringing these two issues to my attention. I can see from Sykes Cottages advice around departures that guests are advised to remove bed linen and empty the dishwasher, but I would like to note that the cleaning team are able to do both these things as it is recognised how time consuming packing up can be. Thankyou again for taking the time to provide feedback and I hope to welcome you back to Seaside House again in the future. The Owner Property Owner

“The property was very nicely refurbished and extremely comfortable and well equipped.”

Importantly for us it was in an excellent location only a short walk to the beach and well placed to walk into town and along to sea life centre and sand world which are great places for young children.

- Geoffrey, July 2022
John July 2022

“Thank you for letting us share your lovely home, my family of eleven had the best time.”

The house was very family friendly.

“Beautiful property, great facilities & nice & close to the sea, the only thing missing was a cocktail shaker!”

Gillian June 2022

“Such a beautiful clean house and you have thought of everything it was impeccable I don't think we have ever stayed somewhere so nice and i broke my leg 4wks before we came so we came back early at night and I didn't mind as it was so lovely and clean some places we've stayed in I wouldn't of wanted to spend that much time there.”

Just a perfect stay with everything you need and more ,a beautiful welcome pack thank you seaside house we will be back love weymouth too,so easy to park with the permits too,was a little walk to town and harbour fine if you can, we walked I was pushed in wheelchair very flat once on the front very wheelchair friendly we taxi back at night for 5pounds,downstairs bedroom perfect for anyone with mobility issues my mum had that room as she's 87 and can't climb stairs

Emma June 2022

“This was a fantastic holiday house.”

There was so much space for us to spread out, very lucky to have both a huge dining room and living room areas. Location is literally minutes from the beach so really good. The house was decorated so luxuriously! It felt like a posh hotel, not a holiday house! The kitchen had everything we needed to cook up some big family meals and so many extra plates and cups which always comes in handy. Brilliant coffee machine. I would book this again in an instant!

- Emma, June 2022
Belinda May 2022

“Beautiful house in a great location.”

Very well equipped - couldn’t ask for anything else. Super welcome pack. Will be booking again.

- Belinda, May 2022
Natasha May 2022

“The website and booking was easy amd the pictures and description of the property was accurate.”

The property was immaculate and done to a very high standard. Great location and would love to stay again. There was a panic when we arrived when the code for the key box was not what was sent on the email! We we stuck outside until we could get through to customer service to sort out. The only thing that would be helpful is if there was an email contact for Sykes Cottage rather than phone only.

- Natasha, May 2022
Sarah April 2022

“The house is beautifully kept and appointed.”

The descriptions were completely accurate and the little welcoming touches were just lovely. Really safe for children and decorated to a very high standard. Perfectly situated for the beach and the other attractions in Weymouth and we will definitely be returning!

The property

Resting in an enviable location just moments from an award-winning beach, lies Seaside House, a newly renovated Georgian Townhouse perfect for big family gatherings or holidaying with groups of friends. Spread over four floors, and boasting elegant splendour throughout, the property sleeps twelve guests in six bedrooms, with the possibility of an additional 2 guests, with a day bed in both the ground floor bedroom and the double room on the second floor.

Home to two reception rooms, six bath/shower rooms and a snug will allow plenty of space for your whole party to relax and unwind.

Inside the property, you will be welcomed into the spacious hallway with doors leading to the dining room, featuring a grand table, chairs and sofa where you can sit and plan your holiday itinerary, before heading into the well equipped kitchen and taking a seat at the breakfast bar whilst the designated chef of the group prepares home cooked meals.

Enjoy nights in in front of the television in either the first floor snug or the sitting room before retiring for the night to one of the well-presented bedrooms; a family room on the ground floor housing a double and a single bed, a king on the first floor, a king on the second floor, a family room with a double and single bed on the second floor and two twin rooms on the third.

The 3 bedrooms on the first and second floor all benefit from en-suite shower rooms, with the twin rooms having an adjoining basin and WC.

There’s also a family bathroom on the second floor, a shower room next to the first floor snug room and a shower room just outside the downstairs bedroom door.

Guests will also benefit from a delightful courtyard with garden furniture, perfect for escaping from the group to enjoy a morning coffee in the fresh sea air.

Step out the front door and in just a few moments you will reach Weymouth’s beautiful golden sandy beach, brimming with traditional seaside charm and hosting a wealth of family attractions such as Punch and Judy Shows, donkey rides and amusement arcades, sure to keep the whole family entertained.

The attractive esplanade runs parallel to the water’s front and has many cafés, bars and restaurants to choose from, and the town centre has high street shops and independent boutiques to discover and while away the hours searching for that special keepsake to take home.

Take a stroll along the majestic harbour around the edge of the town, leading you to Newtons Cove, a sheltered bay with captivating views out to sea and across to Portland Harbour.

The wonderful gardens here make the perfect backdrop for a summer’s day picnic while the children paddle by the rockpools searching for fossils and glimpses of underwater life.

Picture postcard villages such as Abbotsbury, Charmouth and Corfe Castle are all within an easy drive and offer country tea rooms, olde worlde pubs and scenic walks.

However you choose to spend your days, Seaside House is a prime location to enjoy a seaside escape with generously appointed accommodation to ensure a memorable staycation in delightful Dorset.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
