“Accommodation was lovely and clean and had everything you might need for a home from home.”

Great location.

Great location.

“It’s a lovely apartment ideal for our family celebrations.”

It feels like top notch hotel accommodation because the bedrooms and en-suites are so spacious and luxurious. The living room and kitchen are huge with beautiful views of the harbour and everything was spotless when we arrived. We all parked in the Pavillion car park which had spaces and is in easy reach. Nikki who looks after the apartments and cafe is very helpful and friendly. Everything runs smoothly with no fuss. We had a great time-thank you.

“One of the first thoughts that we had when we entered this apartment was, is there anywhere in Weymouth with a better location and presented to the very high standard.”

We came to to the conclusion that this must be the best accommodation that Weymouth can offer. The apartment is large, spacious, light and has great views to watch the world go by. The furnishings are simple modern and practicable. We had four adults and two young children 5 & 6 in our group the kids got the largest bedroom with a huge family bathroom consisting of a large shower and standalone bath. The two other rooms were both large with very good sized en-suites. Ultimately everyone could find their own space. The kitchen has all the equipment you need. The only negative that i can find with this booking is that the on street parking permit is a waste of time, it would make more sense to have a permit for the Pavilion car park; knowing what the parking is like at Weymouth, i purchased directly with the council two permits for the week at a cost of £38 each, we parked all week in the Pavilion car park with no problems.

“This is the 2nd consecutive year we've taken this apartment and the 3rd different property we've rented on the harbour.”

For us it is by far the best. It's well maintained and well run. Everything 'works' and the location is superb. No doubt we'll be back

“Despite being many weeks into Covid 19, the level of customer service from Sykes is at best dreadful.”

Repeated automated emails that cannot be responded to and when a person does send an email the advice is so narrow it requires further comms which take further weeks to progress. We have tried on no less than 6 occasions for up to 30 minutes to get through via phone, to no avail. I accept (and are sure the response will state) these are unprecedented times, however after 4 months the vast majority of other companies and industries have adjusted to the new world. I don’t see what value Sykes are adding to this process, a booking fee is the cost, but what do you bring? Moving forward I am looking for independent holiday homes to remove this wasted time and elongation of resolving issues (8 weeks down the line, still unresolved). In terms of the property and local ownership, this was excellent. Great location between harbour and beach, spacious rooms and a great view to watch the boats pass by. All controls were in place (within the property and by the local council around the harbour) and the manager was first class, warm, friendly and always on hand to address any small queries. This paradox in customer service reinforces my question, what do Sykes bring?

“Great apartment.”

Very new with excellent facilities. Even bigger than the pictures suggest. Lovely venue. Great views. Shops, pubs and restaurants very near by. Parking can be a slight headache, but is not a problem in a quiet/safe part of town.

- Mr Morris, February 2020
Mrs Noke November 2019

“The apartment is in a fantastic location with a lovely view across the old harbour.”

It is really well equipped and had everything we needed and more. It was left spotlessly clean by Nikki and she was incredibly helpful to us when we arrived. It's a really lovely place to stay and will probably get a visit from us again in the future!

Mr Baker September 2019

“We all enjoyed our stay.”

The location was very good and the accommodation was excellent.

Mr Roe July 2019

“This was our 4th consecutive year staying on the harbour and the third different property.”

This has been the best so far by a long way. I guess it being relatively new helps but to be fair but it's been furnished and finished to a high standard. If there is a niggle it's with limited parking in zone F as it can be tricky to find a spot whereas the permit on the other side of the harbour lets you park up on the Nothe etc. That for me was the only issue. The cafe on the ground floor run by Nikki and her staff is lovely. You get a discount and is well worth a visit. We all loved it and have booked it for 2020 already

- Mr Roe, July 2019
Mr Drake July 2019

“The location of this apartment is excellent.”

The views over the harbour are fantastic, it’s just a short walk to the beach. The apartment is spacious and well appointed. We had a very good stay.

Mr Goebel June 2019

“The Location of the house is so close to the harbour and beach (and Marlboro Fish & Chips) - it can´t be any better !”

A well renovated old building, with new, light/bright interior, The Windows of the sleeping room kept the Little bit of noise (Pub leavers, …) away. A very nice and big flat. The combined lounge, dining-table and kitchen area is just immense, very lighty, great look to the Harbour. The 4 bed sleeping room is huge! The attached also huge bathroom with it´s great 3 square metres shower and free standing bathtub is great! The other sleeping rooms with their bathrooms are also nice. The kitchen was full equipped. Wifi always available The contact to Nicky, the Lady with the keys, was very friendly, she is very caring. She runs the nice Café in the groundfloor (with 10% Discount for flat users) and she and her team take care of your rubbish (a good box-exchange-system for recyclebles) With parking permit "F" we parked a little bit (2 minutes walk) away on the beach boulevard or around the amusement, but for loading/unloading there is most times a parking lot free close to the door (or 50m away at the harbour unloading zone. (Sorry for my English, I´m a native German) As it´s said, Germans always have to complain, I can just complain, that there is nothing to complain! 100 of 100 points for this appartment!

Mr Huntley April 2019

“Had a fabulous stay in the apartment which is tastefully decorated and equipped with everything you would possibly need.”

Parking permit worked ok yet it did make us think carefully about when and where we moved the car, apart from that highly recommend this place, Looking out over the harbour was a real treat, it’s almost as if the harbour never sleeps.
