What guests are saying
Fabulous location, apartment and view, however some improvements could be made.
The entrance and stairway give a poor first impression. The carpet in the lounge was very stained and needs replacement. The bedrooms are very small with only a double bed in the master, which larger people may find a problem, maybe this apartment should be made into a one bedroom to give more space with sofa beds in the enormous lounge. The road outside the apartment was being relaid whilst we were there, which meant noisy road resurfacing vehicles in use from 8pm to 6am each day. Having said all this we enjoyed our stay and would be happy to return.
Thank you Mr Wellings for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the location, apartment and view, and we appreciate your kind comment that you would stay with us again. We sincerely apologise for the condition of the lounge carpet. This is certainly not the standard we aim to provide, and we understand your disappointment. The carpet was professionally cleaned following your stay, and we have also taken further steps by parting ways with our previous cleaning team. We are starting with a new cleaning company this week to help ensure standards are consistently maintained going forward. Regarding the entrance and stairway, we appreciate your comments and agree that first impressions are important. We have extensively renovated the building, and whilst we would love to undertake further improvements to the communal areas, our current budget does not stretch to this at present. It has been earmarked for the next stage of renovations as we agree first impressions are important. With regard to the bedroom, the bed is described in the apartment listing as a standard double, and we do try to ensure that our description accurately reflects the accommodation provided. Unfortunately, the road resurfacing works were entirely outside our control, and we are very sorry that the associated noise disturbed your stay, particularly during the night. We appreciate how frustrating this must have been. Thank you again for your honest and constructive feedback. We would be delighted to welcome you back in the future and hope to provide you with an even more enjoyable stay next time.
This was our fourth visit to 123 on the sea and have not been disappointed yet again.
(In fact we are already booked for next year!). Only change this year was that the owners have refurbished the upstairs apartments (Victoria's Place and The Loft) so had to give "our" apartment a new name too - Captain's View. How appropriate. The comfort and peaceful ambience is just perfect for that break away; the weather was very kind to us but even if it weren't, one can't ignore the beautiful view you have from the windows looking out to the sea. The beds are incredibly comfortable, with squishy pillows and all very cosy. There is nothing missing in this apartment - careful thought has gone into the provision of everything you need to make your stay comfortable and memorable. All very tastefully done. What helped incredibly was that knowing that parking is at a premium in Weymouth, we had our very own parking space at no extra cost. Bliss! Lovely touch was the welcome pack- which was provided by treetophampers.co.uk - tea, coffee, biscuits, chocolate and milk. Lovely treat. The addition of a starter pack for washing up etc was a great help too. Do we have to wait another 12 months to come again? Just have to be patient! But thank you. Excellent place and excellent value.
Hello Mrs Barrett, we love seeing your name pop up on the bookings each year! Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for choosing to stay with us at 123 on the Sea for your fourth visit! It truly means the world to know that you continue to enjoy your stays with us, and we’re absolutely delighted that Captain’s View lived up to expectations. We love hearing how much you enjoyed your stay, the sea views, and those little touches we put in place to help make your stay as relaxing and enjoyable as possible. We’re especially glad the complimentary parking space made a difference — we know how precious parking can be in Weymouth! And it’s lovely to hear that you enjoyed the welcome hamper from Tree Top Hampers, Marje does a fabulous job making them. The fact that you’ve already booked for next year is the loveliest compliment we could receive. Thank you for your continued support and for taking the time to share such kind and detailed feedback. We’ll look forward to welcoming you back to Captain’s View next year. Until then, wishing you both all the very best — and yes, we agree, 12 months is far too long to wait! With our warmest thanks, Victoria and Jack
Perfect location, parking is brilliant, the place is set out lovely, the balcony to sit on to watch the world go by, enjoyed watching the horses and boars in a morning, no issues with the facilities, WiFi was great, kitchen was well equipped, cleanliness could be improved on but not enough to not put us off rebooking
Hello Mrs Bloomfield, thank you so much for your lovely review and for taking the time to share your experience. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay. We’re very sorry to hear that the cleanliness was not up to the standard we aim for. We have highlighted your feedback regarding this with the Sykes cleaning team so that it can be addressed and improved going forward. Thank you again for your kind feedback, it helps us maintain standards with our associates and is truly valued. We hope to welcome you for another stay in the future.
This is our third stay at 123 on the Sea- Captains View and we loved every minute again!
It was our first time bringing our new baby and the owners very kindly left baby accessories including a Moses basket, bouncer chair and baby bath which saved us a lot of room in the car! The location is perfect with the beach on the doorstep and the town a short walk along the esplanade. The parking out the back is a great addition, with your own space to come and go from. Our little one loved his first time in Weymouth and we can’t wait to return next year.
Thank you so much for your lovely review and for choosing 123 On The Sea - Captains View for the third time. It was lovely to meet you and the family, and we're delighted that your little one's first trip to Weymouth was such a special one. We're pleased the baby equipment came in handy and helped make your stay that little bit easier. We're so glad you enjoyed the fantastic location, private parking, and everything Weymouth has to offer right on the doorstep. Thank you for your continued support. It means so much to us that you return year after year, and we're already looking forward to welcoming you all back next year for more happy family memories by the sea. Best wishes, 123 On The Sea
This property is absolutely stunning.
We loved our stay. It’s a very traditional building and the location is perfect. It has everything you need and the beds are very comfortable. There is room for improvement in the cleanliness but we still loved it & we have rebooked for next year already!! The balcony has the perfect view, for us it made our stay even better we spent every morning out there! An added bonus is the parking space. Weymouth is terrible for parking so this was very helpful.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're delighted that you enjoyed the character of the property, the fantastic location, the comfortable beds, and especially the balcony views. We're also pleased that the private parking space made your stay in Weymouth even more convenient. Thank you for your feedback regarding cleanliness. We really appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and thanks to your comments, we have addressed this with our cleaning team to ensure standards remain high. We're thrilled that you loved your stay and have already rebooked for next year. We look forward to welcoming you back to 123 On The Sea soon! Best wishes, 123 On The Sea
We loved it that much we have already booked for next year this is our 4 th year staying in the property and absolutely love it always so clean tidy and the view is amazing.
The welcome pack is a good thing to have it tell u everything u need to know also places to go.
Hello Mr Simmonds. Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It means the world to us that you’ve already booked for next year and that this will be your fourth stay with us. We’re so pleased you enjoy the amazing views, and find the welcome pack helpful for making the most of your stay. It was so lovely to meet you both this time, and we’re already looking forward to welcoming you back again next year to 123 On The Sea!
After 7 years of not having a holiday this was the perfect get away for us.
Beautiful views from the windows, spacious area and right in walking distance to have a relaxing break without having to jump in the car everywhere. The property was Beautiful, the family are very lucky to have it and very gracious to share it. Thank you so much Victoria and Jack. It's a week we will remember xx
Hello Mrs Ford, thank you so much for your wonderful review. It means the world to us knowing that, after seven years, your holiday was such a special and memorable one. It was a real pleasure to host you, and we’re delighted you enjoyed your stay. Thank you as well for the lovely Polaroids, the sweets, and your thoughtful card – they were such a kind surprise and really made our day. We hope this is the first of many well-deserved holidays for you, and we’d love to welcome you back again whenever you’re ready for another getaway. Warmest wishes, Victoria & Jack ♥️
Lovely place second time stayed there can’t fault it in any way.
Beach across the road Town centre 5 minute walk and the view from the room is fantastic.
Thank you so much for your great review Mr Uphill, and for choosing to stay with us again. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your second visit and that the apartment continues to meet your expectations. We really appreciate your kind comments and look forward to welcoming you back to 123 on Sea for another relaxing stay in the future.
We had a delightful week at 123 on sea.
What makes this property really special is its position - right opposite the beach and the lovely views from the front of the property. The parking was a bonus and easier to find than it sounded from the instructions. The property is quirky - it is Georgian and has been much adapted- but if you want a holiday in the middle of town where you can walk over the road for a swim in your swimming robe and then come back for a shower this is perfect.
Hello Mrs James, it was a pleasure meeting you during your stay. Thank you so much for your lovely review. We’re delighted to hear that you had such a wonderful week at 123 on Sea and that you enjoyed its unique character and unbeatable location opposite the beach. It’s great to know that you found the parking easier than expected. As you say, the property’s Georgian charm and quirky layout make it a special place to stay, and there really is nothing quite like being able to stroll across the road for a swim and return home to relax afterwards. Thank you again for your kind comments. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to 123 on Sea for another seaside escape in the future.
We had the whole building to ourselves due to upgrades in all the other rooms but it wasn't a problem as we were out every day.
The apartment was first class, lovely large living room with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the beach and a nice little balcony to sit and watch the world go by. Just a couple of recommendations, sort out the wifi it is very spasmodic and doesn't seem to wooknat all in the kitchen, and it would be handy to install a handrail in the bath to help the elderly getting in and out one of our guests didn't feel safe getting out of the shower as there was nothing to hold on to and we had to help them out. Other than than that we had a fantastic stay at 123 on the sea.
Hello Mr Metcalfe, Thank you very much for your review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the apartment, particularly the spacious living area, the balcony, and the beautiful beach views. We also appreciate your helpful suggestions. We would like to let you know that the Wi-Fi has now been upgraded throughout the entire building as a part of the renovations, and we hope this will provide a much better experience for future guests. Thank you as well for your comments regarding the bath. We understand your concerns about accessibility and safety, and we will certainly take your recommendation into consideration. It was a pleasure to host you, and we’re so pleased that you had a fantastic stay at 123 on the Sea. We hope to welcome you back again in the future.
Lovely break.
We live up the North Pennines very quietly and remotely. We really enjoy watching the world fly by on holiday. There is a super Cafe on the ground floor, best pizza ever and I don’t say that lightly as I spent 30 years running places. The bases are thin and hand made the toppings are top quality PS book well in advance of your holiday date!
Hello Mr Kirkbride, Thank you so much for your lovely review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your break and that our little corner offered such a contrast to life in the beautiful North Pennines. It’s wonderful to know that you enjoyed watching the world go by while you were here, and we’re especially pleased that the café and pizzas made such an impression. We hope to welcome you back for another relaxing getaway in the future at 123 On The Sea.
This is a lovely property!
It's the second time we've stayed here and we plan to be back again next year. The flat has been done so nicely and the views are fantastic. It's an ideal location about 10 mins walk to the town centre meaning you're close enough to everything but not disturbed by the noise of lots of pubs/restaurants too close by. The owners are lovely and have made this a gorgeous location for a holiday!
Hello Mrs Cox, thank you so much for your wonderful review, it truly means a lot to us, especially knowing this was your second stay! We’re absolutely delighted that you enjoyed the flat, the views, and the peaceful yet convenient location once again. It was a real pleasure to welcome you back, and we’re so grateful for your kind words about both the property and us as hosts. We look forward to welcoming you again next year for another lovely stay at 123 On The Sea.
Very Impressed with number 123, very clean, well furnished, spacious and extremely well positioned over-looking the sea.
Obviously the steps up to the flat would cause difficulty to some people but that is well documented in the initial information. My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would certainly consider a return visit in the future. PS we met Victoria when we arrived and she kindly helped us with our luggage. Thanks Victoria.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments. I’m really pleased you and your family enjoyed your stay at the apartment and made the most of the sea views. I’m glad I was able to help a little when you arrived; it was a pleasure to meet your wife and daughter, I’m sad I couldn’t catch you to say hello as you were parking the car. Thank you as well for mentioning the steps , as you say, we do try to make that as clear as possible in the information beforehand. You would be very welcome back at 123 On The Sea anytime, and I’d be delighted to see you again. Best wishes Victoria
Lovely apartment in a great spot for me and my teenage daughter to enjoy dips in the sea, boat rides, trips further afield.
Beautiful apartment, well equipped kitchen, comfy sofas, bit cold to spend time on the balcony in April but got some lovely pictures
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback Mrs Ingledew — we’re really pleased you and your daughter had such a nice time enjoying the sea, boat trips and exploring the area. It’s great to hear you found the apartment comfortable and well equipped. April can still be a little chilly for balcony time, but we’re glad you managed to capture some beautiful photos. For future visits, there are blankets in the lounge sideboard which are perfect for keeping warm while sitting out and enjoying the view. We’d be delighted to welcome you both back again to 123 On The Sea
Beautiful apartment on the sea front.
The views were amazing! Would stay again in a heartbeat
Thank you so much for your lovely words Mrs Crossthwaite! We’re delighted you enjoyed the apartment and those amazing sea views — they really are something special. It would be an absolute pleasure to welcome you back anytime to 123 On The Sea.
Wonderful property, washing machine instead of dishwasher would of been nice , disabled assistant handles in the shower would be a help, as we both have arthritis getting in and out was a bit precarious
Thank you very much for your kind comments about the property — we’re so pleased you enjoyed your stay. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your suggestions. Your thoughts about having a washing machine instead of the dishwasher, and the addition of grab handles in the shower, are both very helpful. We completely understand how Thank you again for your valuable feedback, and we do hope to welcome you back again.
Lovely apartment.
Nearly everything you need. Only thing we found lacking was a washing machine. The welcome pack, cleaning pack and pint of fresh milk was greatly appreciated. Having a parking space was brilliant and what we always look for before booking. We managed to park our Ford Kuga with no problem. Great view of the fireworks from the balcony. Enjoyed our stay in Weymouth as always.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback — we’re really pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay and made the most of the balcony view for the fireworks! It’s great to know the welcome and cleaning packs were appreciated, and that the parking space worked well for your Ford Kuga. We know how important that can be when choosing somewhere to stay. We also appreciate your note about the washing machine. When it came to the instillation of the kitchen we thought a dishwasher would be more helpful than a washing machine, so it’s very helpful to hear your feedback and will keep it in mind for any future improvements. Thank you for choosing to stay with us an we hope to welcome you back in the future.
This was our first holiday in Weymouth and what a lovely apartment to stay in.
Beautifully decorated and very clean. The sea views are amazing. We did get quite a few stormy days, so we spent those days relaxing and reading with the fabulous sea view. The welcome hamper was especially thoughtful. It was also a very well equipped kitchen, for the evenings that we cooked. We were very happy with 123 on the sea and would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in Weymouth.
Hello Mrs Breen. Thank you so much for your lovely review. We’re thrilled that your first holiday in Weymouth was such a special one and that you enjoyed your stay at 123 on the Sea. It’s wonderful to hear you found the apartment comfortable, beautifully decorated, and that the sea views made even the stormy days relaxing. We’re so glad you appreciated the welcome hamper and the kitchen setup too. Thank you for recommending us - we’d be absolutely delighted to welcome you back for another seaside escape!
It was with sadness that we had to leave 123 on Saturday.
This was our third visit and will certainly not be our last. Guest comfort is obviously a high priority for the owners and this place has everything you need. Great care has been taken with furnishings and everything is so tasteful. I would argue with anyone who said they had found somewhere better. Simply the best at 123. We feel “at home” there, particularly a relaxing view that is stunning. We are planning dates for next year….we will never tire of coming here! Thank you.
Hello Marie! What a wonderful review to receive - thank you so much! It truly means the world to us that you’ve chosen to return to 123 again and again. Knowing that it feels like a home from home for you is the best compliment we could hope for. We’re so happy you enjoy the comforts, the little touches, and of course that beautiful view. It’s always a pleasure to have you stay, and we can’t wait to welcome you back next year!
A lovely apartment with an outstanding view over the beach and bay.
Looking forward to staying there again in 2026
Thank you so much for taking the time to write us a great review Mr Dartford, we very much appreciate it. We really hope to welcome you back to 123 On The Sea in 2026!
The perfect apartment for our holiday in Weymouth.
The sea view is just amazing and the balcony is wonderful! Very clean and spacious. Parking space included which is very convenient. Thank you for the best holiday experience.
Thank you for your kind review Mrs Kearne. We’re so pleased you enjoyed the sea views, balcony, and spaciousness of the apartment, as well as the convenience of the parking. We know what a faff parking can be! It’s wonderful to know your stay made for such a memorable holiday in Weymouth. We’d be very happy to welcome you back in the future.
This year was our second time staying at 123 on The Sea and again it was just perfect.
A beautiful apartment with the most beautiful sea view. The location is great to access everything in Weymouth and only a short walk from the town and harbour. We have already booked again for next year!
Thank you so much for staying with us again Miss Rees, and for your wonderful review. We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed the apartment, the sea views, and the location just as much the second time around. It’s fantastic to know you’ve already booked for next year – we can’t wait to welcome you back to 123 On The Sea!
Stunning property, the view is just wonderful & the location perfect.
Fully stocked kitchen with everything we needed & more. Details such as blankets for sitting on the balcony in the evening were gratefully noticed. The welcome pack was a lovely surprise. Games & books provided too. We had a wonderful, relaxing week. Would definitely return.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review Mrs Stretton! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the views, location, and little touches such as the blankets and welcome pack. It’s lovely to know the games, books, and kitchen amenities added to your stay. We’re so pleased you had a relaxing week, and we’d be thrilled to welcome you back to 123 On The Sea.
Once again had an amazing week at 123 on the sea fabulous apartment very clean ample space Already booked up for next year can’t say enough about this apartment definitely 10 out of 10 thank you dream Cottages ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback Mr Simmonds. We’re delighted to hear you had another amazing stay at 123 On The Sea and that you found the apartment clean, spacious, and comfortable. It’s fantastic that you’ve already booked again for next year – we can’t wait to welcome you back! Your kind words mean a lot to us and to the team at Dream Cottages.
We have just returned from a wonderful 10 days in 123_On_The_Sea (should have been 2 weeks but we had to cut short because of unforeseen circumstances).
What a fantastic apartment! As soon as you walk in it feels spacious and bright. With the huge windows in the lounge and kitchen overlooking the beach it truly feels like a paradise. The apartment was clean, looked lived in which is only to be expected. We are just a couple but I’m sure there is plenty of room for four. On arrival there was a pint of fresh milk in the fridge and two welcome packs, one with washing up items and one with goodies. It is very well equipped, kitchen has all you need. The bed in the main bedroom is very comfortable. There are plenty of electrical sockets. The bathroom is small but does the job, the shower is very good, as for the towels, it makes a change to get full size bath towels and incredibly soft. Back to the amazing lounge, the high ceilings and huge windows give the feeling of bright spaciousness. When the windows are open there is traffic noise but when you close the windows you would never know you are on a main road. There is a large television mounted on the wall with all the smart services. To be honest, I only switched it on once to see if it worked, after that we were perfectly happy reading and sitting near the windows to see the everchanging views. We were fortunate with the weather and there is something special about sitting on the balcony with your coffee at 7:30am watching the boats in the bay and the horses exercising on the beach. The location is ideal, 5 minutes walk to the main bus stops, 10 – 15 minutes walk to Town Bridge and the beautiful harbour with all the pubs and restaurants. We are already planning on returning soon.
Thank you so much for your lovely review of 123 On The Sea. We're absolutely delighted to hear how much you enjoyed your stay and that the apartment felt like a little slice of paradise for you both. We're so sorry to hear that you had to cut your holiday short due to unforeseen circumstances, we do hope everything is okay. It’s wonderful to know that the space, comfort, and views made such a positive impression, and that the little touches like the welcome packs and soft bath towels helped you feel at home. Your description of mornings on the balcony with coffee, watching the boats and horses, sounds idyllic – and exactly the experience we hope all our guests get to enjoy. Thank you again for your kind words, and we very much look forward to welcoming you back to 123 On The Sea soon!
The location of this property is absolutely wonderful.
Huge windows overlooking the bay and a flat walk into town and the harbour. The lounge and kitchen are perfect, bright, with a huge lounge and well equipped kitchen. (We took our own air fryer and coffee maker. ) We would absolutely stay at this flat again because of the views, location and very importantly, a parking space around the back of the building. The welcome pack included milk, biscuits, chocolate, tea and coffee. Plus a domestic pack including a bin bag, dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid and cloths. There were two little bars of hand soap in the bathroom and one toilet roll. The bedding is lovely white cotton and there are plenty of fluffy white bath and hand towels and a mat. The bathroom is perfectly functional, although the bath is quite narrow. I’m petite and couldn’t comfortably lie without my shoulders getting pinched. The bedrooms show that this has been a conversion. The hanging space in the main wardrobe is difficult to access due to the way the doors open, the sockets in the smaller bedroom are in difficult positions, the bedroom windows are very difficult to open, particularly in the small bedroom where the lower window has been fixed shut. We mostly had lovely weather and it was essential to have the windows open for a breeze. Having said that, we managed, and it was worth the minor inconveniences because of the location, lounge and views. On the morning of biblical rain, we had a small leak above the bed in the smaller room. We had an immediate response from the managing agents who also came to view the property. It’s clear to see that on the next landing up, there is ongoing water damage, so I suspect some maintenance will need to be carried out before the autumn. The following time it rained, there was no leak so I suspect it depends on the speed and direction of the rain and wind. Overall the flat is comfortable, and neutrally decorated, not boutique. It has a homely feel. There are some signs of wear and tear, but this is probably inevitable when renting out. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and hopefully will do next year.
Dear Catherine, Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review, it truly means a lot to us. We’re so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay at 123 The Esplanade, and that the views, the spacious lounge, and the light, well-equipped kitchen all made for a memorable visit. It’s always lovely to know that guests appreciate the little touches like the welcome pack and fresh white bedding—it’s important to us that the flat feels both comfortable and inviting from the moment you arrive. Thank you also for your helpful observations about the bedrooms and layout. As you kindly noted, this is a converted period property, so it does come with a few charming quirks! That said, we’re always looking at ways to make the space as user-friendly as possible, and your feedback is really valuable. I’m so sorry again about the small leak during the biblical rainfall. Although we were aware of a minor issue with the lead lining on one of the original Georgian chimneys, it had never caused any water ingress to the holiday flat before. We’ve already arranged for this to be fully resolved in the next couple of weeks to avoid any future issues. Most of all, we’re absolutely delighted that you’d happily stay again. We’d love to welcome you back next year for another relaxing and enjoyable break by the sea! Warmest wishes, 123 On The Sea
Amazing appartment with spectacular far reaching views.
I have already booked next year as its the best appartment we have stayed at and it has PARKING. There is a super Bistro-Cafe underneath, no noise or smells and it closes early. Make sure you book your first night there as tables are hard to get. Loved this simple, intimate wee place, high quality ingredients cooked with skill and served with a smile. Looking forward to next year. It would be nice if some of the maintenance issues were addressed, please. C&P
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay and that the apartment—and those spectacular views—made such a great impression. It’s always lovely to welcome guests who appreciate the unique charm of our period property, and we’re delighted to hear you’ve already booked for next year! We’re also so pleased you enjoyed the bistro downstairs—it really is a local gem, and your tip about booking ahead is spot-on. Regarding the maintenance issues you mentioned, thank you for bringing this to our attention. We’re always working to preserve the character of the building while ensuring comfort and quality for our guests. Your feedback helps us do just that, and we’ll be taking a closer look to ensure everything is up to standard before your next visit. We have a significant investment taking place on the building towards the end of this year that will secure its future for generations to come. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!
Had a great stay in your beautiful property fantastic views nice clean well equipped apartment great location for all the towns amenities and good local walks parking was good also.
Hello Paul, thank you for your great feedback. You can’t beat those views! We hope to welcome you back again soon to 123 On The Sea.
Perfect location, spotlessly clean and beautifully presented.
The flat had everything needed for a happy stay. Parking a great benefit. Close to the harbour and walking into the town.
Hello David, we’re delighted you found the flat to your liking. Thank you so much for your kind review. We hope to welcome you back again soon.
Very welcoming, comfortable apartment with stunning views, in a super convenient location.
Loved the Christmas tree, hamper, festive treat and warmth! Well equipped kitchen but could do with a small sharp knife! Thank you to all.
Hello Mrs Burchmore, thank you so much for your five star review. It means so much. We’re delighted you all enjoyed the little festive touches and hope you enjoyed seeing in the New Year at 123 On The Sea. Thank you for highlighting the missing small kitchen knives, we will be replenishing this asap. We hope to see you again soon!
We spent Christmas week and thoroughly enjoyed the flat!
The photos do not do justice to the splendid living room with its high ceilings and gorgeous windows overlooking the sea. Imagine our delight to check-in and find a lovely Christmas tree - thank you! - this really made our stay extra special. We had everything we needed for our stay: comfortable beds and bedding, fully kitted kitchen, that breakfast view, and the fluffy white towels. Despite being on a main road, we were not disturbed by any noise from the street below, and instead found ourselves enjoying watching people going by along the esplanade. Location was within 5 minutes of the train station which was perfect for us, and an easy walk to shops and everything you need. Highly recommend!
Hello Ms Agama, we’re so delighted you enjoyed your stay and the Christmas tree! Thank you so much for your glowing review. It’s lovely to have guests at this time of year and we wanted to make 123 On The Sea festive. People and wave watching is a favourite activity from the lounge for sure. We really hope to welcome you back again soon. Wishing you a very Happy New Year.
Had a fabulous stay, perfectly located to walk everywhere and great having a parking space.
Unfortunately, the weather was terrible during our stay but we were very content to relax in that beautiful lounge and take in the incredible view. The arrival hamper was a lovely touch, thank you. On a practical note, it would be great if the lights on the staircase were on a sensor as on our first night we could not find the light switch and had to use the stairs in total darkness - very precarious!
Hello Mrs Fox, thank you for your lovely review. We love relaxing in the lounge and just gazing at the view too. We’re so sorry about the weather! Thank you so much for your feedback regarding the lights, a sensor is a great idea and we’ve asked our electrician to take a took at the options for us. Any way to make life easier is a win by our book. We hope to welcome you back to 123 On The Sea where the welcome hamper (and hopefully some sunshine) will be waiting for you!
This was our second visit to 123.
Cannot fault it. So much love, care and attention have gone into putting it all together and it is so appreciated. The added gift of a fabulous hamper from the Dorset Hamper company was such a lovely touch. We are looking to booking yet again for next year. Thank you.
Hello Marie! Thank you for your glowing review, I loved chatting with you a few weeks back. It made my day hearing how loved our little window chair is for just gazing at the sea and watching the world go by. Thank you again, we really look forward to you staying with us next year. All the very best to you and the family!
This was our second visit to 123 By The Sea and we are quite likely to return.
The apartment is ideally located with superb views and is very spacious, comfortable and well equipped.We appreciated the lack of knickknacks! Overall we had an excellent holiday and there was little to fault. However, a couple of minor points: - we would have appreciated a spare toilet roll and a couple of bin bags in the welcome pack - a better fitting mattress cover and a fitted bottom sheet would improve the comfort of the double bed - the sheet tended to get rucked up as we turned over.
Thank you for your review Dr Ludlam, your feedback points have been most helpful. We have an entirely new mattress and mattress protector arriving in the flat this month and we have a devised a better system with housekeeping to insure loo roll is topped up. Thank you again for your repeat stay, we hope you approve of the changes ready for your next visit!
The most perfect apartment.
We loved everything about it. The location is beautiful and plenty of space. The balcony is just wonderful, I spent many a morning eating my breakfast out there. 2 sets of keys was perfect for a family going their separate ways. We shall definitely book again for next year! Thank you so much
Thank you for taking the time to write such a glowing review. We’re delighted you loved your stay. The balcony is our favourite spot for breakfast too. We’re looking forward to welcoming you back to 123 On The Sea again soon!
We had a great time the apartment was lovely and clean beautiful views we loved the balcony and the chair by the window lovely to watch the sea in the evening very good position to get to the train buses and beach loved it so much we are booking again for next year
Thank you for your wonderful feedback, we really appreciate the time you have taken to write this review. We are so please you enjoyed your stay at 123 On The Sea. It is lovely sitting out on the balcony or the comfy window seat, watching the waves roll onto the beach. We are very much looking forward to welcoming you back next year!
Overall a very nice, comfortable and convenient place to stay with a good standard of fittings, furnishings and facilties, and a loverly view of the bay through the large sash windows.
A problem with an outside door lock was sorted within 30 minuites of reporting it, and our only minor grumble was the lack of proper breadknife and no safety mat in the bath neither of which we contacted the agents about.
We very much appreciate the time you gave taken to leave your feedback. Excellent points raised, we will replace the missing breadknife and look to install a non slip bath matt. Thank you for highlighting the issue with the front door, this matter has no been resolved. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay at 123 On The Sea, those sea views out the sash windows are very special. We look forward to welcoming you back soon.
Downstairs entrance could be more appealing the flat itself was lovely.
The view is marvellous, bathroom very clean.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review, we hope you enjoyed your stay the weather was glorious! We are in the process of listing the renovations for the building that will be taking place over the coming year or so. The entrance is having a little facelift to really make the most of the beautiful original flooring and glasswork above the door. We’re so lucky to be one of the few flats still with these original features. We hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic well equipped apartment with a lovely welcome pack.
Lovely and spacious in a great location with great views. The only thing that let it down for us was the double bed - we found the mattress very hard and uncomfortable which was a shame as we were staying 5 nights. But if this was replaced I wouldn't hesitate to return again.
Hello Helen, thank you for your review. We’re so happy you enjoyed the welcome pack, there’s nothing like milk in the fridge to make a cup of tea to enjoy with some biscuits! We have taken on board your feedback about the double bed. I am sorry the mattress was not to your liking, that’s so important. We are reviewing ways in which we can cater for different needs with regards mattresses. This is such a personal preference but it’s something we really need to consider so thank you for bringing this to our attention. Hopefully we can welcome you back again soon!
We were a little disappointed with being left only half a toilet roll and no shower gel/shampoo sachets to use.
However, the flat and the fantastic views were incredible. The towels were so fluffy I wanted to take them home!!! The sofas were so comfy and the welcome pack in the kitchen was very good and being left some milk in the fridge very good. I would definitely recommend this flat and hopefully we will stay in this again next year.
Thank you so much for your feedback Ann. We actually acted on this straight away liaising with the housekeeping team to insure there will always be adequate amounts of loo roll to hand. We were delighted to hear you liked the towels, they are very fluffy! Unfortunately we do not offer shower gel, as we are a self catering apartment. Although, this is something we will be monitoring moving forward. This is great feedback and something we may well be able to consider in the near future. Hoping to welcome you back again soon!
Lovely apartment in a good location with a great view.
Thank you Ruth! You just can’t beat that view can you. We hope to see you again soon.
Amazing views from a lovely flat.
Lounge and kitchen at front to enjoy the outlook, bedrooms and bathroom at back which was very quiet. No issues with noise from Sandbar below- and it closes at 9pm too. Stairs good and solid and wide with a rest stop halfway, so my 86 year old unstable mother managed fine with a little help and without a lift. Only potential issue to mention is size and access to parking space. It is wide and short and you have to park parallel to the pavement so a bit of manoeuvring required. My qashai is max length to avoid blocking gate next door. Also clamping signs up but nowhere to log your number plate to validate your car. I phoned the holiday company and all was ok.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, it is great to read your positive comments. We are glad you enjoyed the amazing views, and you found the back bedrooms to be quiet. Wonderful to read your Mother was able to access the apartment with little help. Guests do not need to be concerned about clamping as long as they are parked within the designated space. These signs are only up as parking for Seafront properties is scarce. Thank you again and hopefully we can welcome you back again soon.
Parking only suitable for small/medium cars.
Thank you for your feedback we hope you enjoyed your stay, despite the rain. The length of the parking space is 5.2 meters with a width of 2.9 meters, the national average parking space is 4.8 meters long and 2.5 meters wide. We’ve not experienced any issues with the parking space capacity previously. It’s important to us that guests are comfortable and we will continue to monitor any parking concerns. We hope you enjoyed your stay and hopefully look forward to welcoming you back again soon.
Absolutely fabulous.
We are looking to go back soon. Lovely touch was the welcome package that was left from Dorset Happy Hampers. Such a lovely personal touch AND the pint of milk left in the fridge. The apartment was so lovely it wouldn’t have mattered if it had been stormy outside. The vista from the sofa with the panoramic windows was just stunning. Can’t wait for our return visit.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. We’re delighted you enjoyed your stay. You can’t beat those views! We look forward to welcoming you back to 123 On The Sea again soon.
great location with great views.
The town centre is close by. There's parking for one car which is essential because parking is not good in Weymouth. The parking space is at the back of the property which is only accessible by walking around the block (a pain re luggage). The living room is lovely and the kitchen is nice. the other rooms are okay. I'm surprised there was no welcome pack , it's those touches which makes a difference.
Thank you for your feedback, we are pleased that you loved the location and enjoyed the stunning views. We are very lucky to be able to offer a parking space as parking can often come at a premium in Weymouth and with the closest car park over a 10 minute walk away. We are currently working closely with Dream Cottages to to offer a more substantial welcome hamper. We hope to welcome you back to Weymouth in the future.
We had a lovely time in Flat 1.
The sea views from it were wonderful. The flat was fitted out with everything we needed. We would recommend staying here.
123 On The Sea is in a good location across from the beach with a commanding sea view, especially from the small couch in front of the large window and served as a good base for our week's holiday in October.
The accommodation is roomy and comfortable but the furniture and decor is a little dated for the price. Some maintenance is required, the bathroom door catch sticks and the curtain holdbacks are very loose in their wall fixings and the lights in the shared stairwell don't work unless the switch is held down. For the price we paid we were a little disappointed with the 'welcome pack' on arrival. When staying in similar properties we have found a cake or bottle of wine and essential kitchen supplies on arrival; at 123 there wasn't even a roll of kitchen towel provided.
Absolutely beautiful apartment in a stunning location.
Lovely to be able to hear the waves breaking on the beach whilst relaxing in the living room. Brightly decorated to give a light, airy feel, plush, comfortable settees and beds. Only slight issue we had was trying to switch between rainfall shower, hose and bath taps as lever didn’t seem to do anything despite pulling, pushing, twisting. We would definitely stay here again.
Had a lovely stay at 123.
Very comfortable with beautiful views of the sea. Seafront literally across the road. Would recommend and we will book again. Veronica Clark
