Sea Views

Gardens were overgrown and not maintained, not conducive to sitting outside, rear gate obstructed by brambles.

The hot water was switched off. No instructions for cooker which was complicated to use. Television is far too small for the room. No small saucepans. The location description should include the very steep incline to the beach which is very challenging for those with walking difficulties.

We recently stayed in this cottage in June 2025 cottage was in a lovely location close by to things however the actual cottage itself had many problems.

First thing to point out is be aware that there is a manor house a couple doors up that holds private events ie weddings and this was very loud on the Saturday night until about midnight (just something to be mindful of). There was dust and cobwebs through out the cottage with thick dust on bedroom skirting boards,the rug in the living room is outdated and stained/dirty along with the sofas and cushions could do with a clean as you can tell these are very old (actually found the cottage on Rightmove from 2019 and everything in it is exactly the same). The TV in the front room doesn’t work and is completely different to the one in the manual, kitchen unit kick boards are all dislodged and falling apart. There are dead woodlice and flies at the bottom of the stairs in the left hand corner, the bathroom screen is mouldy and faulty and the hoover is not PAT tested. When having a shower/bath the noise is ridiculously loud in the twin bedroom, the stair gate is faulty and could be a danger if there are children is the cottage. Lastly the Garden is in need of a good tidy and bushes trimming back so you are able to see out of the kitchen window and the bushes at the back entrance are hanging over the pathway so you need to crouch down to get through… The cottage does have great potential and would book again however it is in need of a good deep clean and freshen/tidy up!

Cleanliness of the property was our main issue.

We found cobwebs in a lot of areas and numerous dead flies in the lounge window cill. The t.v wasn't the same as the one in the owners booklet and the remote battery cover was a piece of duct tape. Hedges around the rear garden needed trimming back as the dining kitchen window was almost half blocked by branches. On a positive note,the property as good layout and is in a beautiful location. The beds were very comfortable and the linen and towels were good quality.

Lovely clean comfortable property in a great location, nice towels and bedding, bedrooms spacious with plenty of storage space, kitchen well equipped, however could do with a new frying pan we had to go and buy one which wasn't a problem, also the fridge and freezer could do with defrosting as very clogged up with ice in the fridge, everything else was perfect we had a really lovely week thank you

We had a really lovely time.

The property was clean and comfortable and lots to do and see nearby. We can recommend the Manor hotel next door for Sunday lunch, and the cafe at the beach was very good. We left a note to mention fridge was iced up and needed defrosting, kitchen tap was dripping and the kettle was leaking at the base. These are only minor matters for the owners attention, and did not spoil our holiday.

A wonderful week in a beautiful location, the photos don’t do the scenery justice!

A well kept property in a quiet road offering all you need for a self catered holiday and with friendly neighbours too! Clean and bright a real home from home and we’re looking to book again! The double bed could benefit from a new mattress as quite uncomfortable and the bushes in the back garden need cutting back and on one side, the garden bench is being devoured by the honeysuckle which we had to wrestle with to set free. A great dog friendly property I thoroughly recommend and appreciated the info pack provided.

No complaints.

A 3 bedroom mid terrace house. Very spacious living room, fair sized dining area. 2 double and 1 small bedroom. We only used 1 bedroom which was very comfortable. The house was nice and cool inside during the very hot spells. Kitchen was pretty well stocked and anyone could cook any meal without any problems. A good shower and plenty of hot water. We never used the TV so can't comment, wi fi good indoors . If anyone is on O2 there is no mobile connection, despite their map saying there is. 4g in West bexington is non existent. Gripes, no oven gloves, no grater,only 2 dishwasher tablets and no spare toilet roll. As a gardener I found the very basic garden care frustrating! Would we go back? Definitely consider it, very good base, friendly neighbours and a choice of 2 good places to eat. Lots to explore, especially if you are a walker. The beach is large shingle and mainly used by beach fishers, swimming only advised if you are competent and strong.

The standard of cleanliness at Sea Views was very good and it was very well equipped.

Just perfect for a short holiday with a dog.

A nice cottage in a picturesque area with views of the sea.

Comfortable seating and bedding, most things you should need in the ample sized kitchen/diner although the hob extractor is quite useless at extracting!! Replacing the missing door between the kitchen and lounge would be a good idea to stop cooking smells and toddlers going where they shouldn't. Garden was ok. The second parking space is only any good if you have a small car, something you're only told AFTER booking. A short walk to the beach. Overall a nice cottage, would we book again? probably. A word of warning, you're asked to clean the whole place before leaving to help the cleaners, strange!!! Not sure if this is a Sykes thing or the owners.

A really lovely cottage close to a gorgeous beach.

Everything you need and great enclosed back garden if you have a dog. Our second visit - really love the location.

Seaviews was a comfortable place to stay and made a good base for our holiday.

It had everything we needed and was surface clean but it could really do with a deep clean as there were cobwebs (not new ones) and dust all around the house. The drawers in the masterbedroom were full of hair and the duvet had clearly had something spilt on it at some point. The coffee and tea on arrival was very welcome and we were pleasently suprised by some nice sun loungers in the cupboard. As previous reviews had said more detailed info on the bins would be helpful as every council does not have the same system. This could be a really lovely cottage in a fab location, just needs a bit more tlc, otherwise we really enjoyed our stay.

The property is in a great location, situated so close to the beach that you can hear the waves from the garden and you can see the sea from every window.

It was very clean and tidy. There was a pub with good food just up the road and several others within a five minute drive.

Lovely property in a relaxed setting with loads of space.

Some kitchen equipment is a little tired and some utensils not as clean as I would hope for. I would suggest a small selection of games and information on local attractions. M³ore information regarding your bins, it wasn't until after our departure that I was aware of recycling and food waste bins.

we have just spent a loverly weekat Sea ViewsMade all the better because the cttage was one of the best we have stayed at in a beutiful psition 5Min to the sea walking 12 min to west bay and 25 min to Weymouth by car lots to see and plenty of places to eat if you have a dog the garden to the rear is perfict and secure We will definitley be going again

the property was filthy, faeces in the toilet.

The whole place thick with dust, dirty floors. dirty sink. dirty bath. mould in washing machine making it unusable. spent my first day cleaning. bathroom sink taps needed fixing. bed very uncomfortable, mattress old and thin. dirty sheets in the twin room. pictures advertising the place are old, furniture and ornaments have been removed. No welcome pack. dog bowl was green. We were not allowed in till 5 pm, we assumed it was because they were cleaning thoroughly due to covid. NO CLEANING HAD BEEN DONE! just towels left. had to be out by 10am so you pretty much loose a whole days holiday. Then spend your first day cleaning. so 2 days lost. Beware The owners are conning you! NO Cleaning or Maintenance has been done. We stayed here 4 years ago and it was lovely, clean comfortable, lovely welcome basket for us and one for the dog. This time was such a disappointment. The area is nice, but for the money im sure you could find a cleaner place to stay

The cottage was lovely comfy,clean,everything we needed Location was great Dog friendly

We thought some sort of half door/gate through from kitchen to sitting room would be helpful to keep wet dogs from going through to the carpeted area.

The enclosed garden was a real bonus. We will definitely book this property again.

Had a great stay, lovely location and clean, tidy and comfortable house.

The add does not do it justice! I would however suggest some updated garden furniture and an umbrella for the hotter days. Also as there are no shops close by just the basics like sugar tea and coffee would of been useful. I would recommend the club house for food just down the road lovely food and great views. Also the hive beach cafe was another nice place good food and lovely walks. I would happily stay here again.

Fabulous location, but the cottage was tired and only surface clean .

. .

The location was excellent for us, close to the beach and a lovely hour walk to The Hive cafe for breakfast.

We would definitely book this property again. The only thing that wasn't great was the cooker - the electric hob took AGES to heat up and wasn't really working.

Second visit to this cottage.

Quiet location with stunning views. Owner very helpful and easily contactable. Perfect location for exploring from Weymouth to East Devon.

Perfect- exactly what you marketed.

One thing would be nice a radio in the kitchen. Thanks we had a great time.

Great location

the only prob,lem was the electric hob where only one ring worked , otherwise it was lovely

Cottage could be better looked after especially the garden.

Old picnic table could be replaced with newer more comfortable garden furniture, fence could be maintained and repaired so dog is secure in the garden, a parasol for the table would have allowed us to eat outside in the sunshine and enjoy the outside area and weeds could be removed. A coffee machine would be good addition to kitchen. Bed in main bedroom was comfortable, kitchen pretty well-equipped and the owner was very helpful and quickly at the property when we had small issue with a stuck cupboard door on day 1. Location is great, very close to the sea and lovely pub/restaurant with good walking possiblities all around the area and along the coastal path.
