• "This is a lovely apartment over looking Weymouth's super beach and very close to shops and pubs etc."

  This is our 8th stay and hopefully we have 2 moire lined up later in the year. The apartment is well equiped, clean and modern. It is spacious with excellent cooking facilities. For couples the apartment is idea. Our only problem (and only because my wife and I both have dodgy backs is that the seatie is slightly worn and you do tend to "sink" into it., fully appreciate others may like it, Make no mistake I fully recommend this apartment as the number of times we have returned proves. Many thanks Paul & Helen

• "This is a really lovely property."

  However there is a Strip club, in the road behind, and our weekend away was spoilt by the appalling street noise until 4 30am on both the Friday and Saturday nights. Obviously this is a regular event, the impact of which could be reduced or even eliminated by installing double/triple glazing.

  Many thanks for your feedback, and we are pleased that you appreciated the apartment, and found it a lovely property. We were a little surprised that you say that you were kept awake by the noise from behind the property, this is the first time we have been made aware of noise from that direction. There are no windows on that side of the building, and there is another row of properties before the road. However thank you for bring this to our attention and we will look into it. Property Owner

  Many thanks for you lovely feedback, and glad that you enjoyed your stay at our property, and appreciated the quality of the furniture and fixtures, and enjoyed the sea vies from the windows. Many thanks again/ Property Owner

• "I have been reluctant to leave negative feedback because I feel that the owner isn’t to blame for the cleanliness of the property and the wrong information given by the agents but since they keep asking for my feedback here goes."

  We arrived very late evening, upon entering myself and my daughter sat on the bed chatting. I kept scratching my back, feeling an itch, but didn’t take too much notice, until I looked down on the bed and saw a flea hopping about ! I ran to find the vacuum cleaner, managed to vacuum up two fleas ! After that I decided to have have a look around the apartment and was pretty disgusted at what I saw. The toilet was filthy ! (I won’t go into detail ) The sink and bath hadn’t been cleaned either. The lounge had areas with a gathering of someones long hair and lots of dust. I could go on but I won’t. On the positive the bed was made very nicely, although there was what looked like chocolate marks when you pulled back the sheets. I should imagine the owner pays a lot for a cleaning service, which having worked in housekeeping in Center Parcs for a couple of years, I’m pretty sure no cleaning was done, other than the cleaning the previous guests did prior to departure. I phoned Dream cottages in the morning to notify them. Also very disappointing that we wanted a two week holiday but when checking I was told there wasn’t a parking permit with this property. They suggested other places to park, but didn’t know the cost so I just booked a week instead. I was delighted to see a parking permit on the table but annoyed that I was given the wrong information. The apartment had a lovely view and was very central. The Happy Hamper that was left for us was a very thoughtful touch.

  Thank you for your feedback. I am so sorry that you found the apartment not up to its usual high standard of cleanliness. I have taken this up with the housekeeping department , as this should not have been in the state that you say it was when you arrived. Thank you for informing Dream Cottages that you were not happy with the state of the apartment. I am not sure about the flea though and where this could have come from. We have many. returning guests over the years we have owned this property and all state how lovely clean and fresh it is when they arrive. As to the parking permit, I am not sure why you were told this as there has always been one provided. But I'm glad other than these issues you enjoyed your stay at the property, and enjoyed the Happy Hamper, which is a new addition we have added to our properties this year. Property Owner

• "I have been with holiday cottages for many years so i am sorry to give this a poor review,not the owner fault but the previous occupants ."

  The vacuum cleaner stank of dogs and was unusable,had to open all the windows and put the fan on to get rid of the smell.On the fist night i was bitten by what i believe to be dog fleas,also on second night. Hope you don't mind an honest review but i could not find anywhere that said dogs were allowed. Pity it was nice accommodation.

  Many thanks for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you said the vacuum cleaner stank of dogs, and you believe you were bitten by a dog flea. Dogs are definitely NOT allowed in the apartment (it is a condition of the lease ). I do wish that you had reported it to Dream Cottages as soon as you were there. I will take up this issue with the Housekeeping Department, to see why they did not pick up on this, as they would have had to use the vacuum). I appreciate your comments that otherwise it was nice accomdation. Property Owner

• "The apartment was superbly equipped and decorated."

  The only thing we felt was missing was a pair of scissors, so we bought and left in the kitchen drawer for future guests. The fan started to make a squeaking sound which appeared to be coming from the spindle, during our stay and we left a note about it.

  Thank you for your positive feedback, and so glad you enjoy our apartment, that you have now stayed several times, and look forward to welcoming you back in September. We apologise about the scaffolding, in the high winds the grade II listed sign attached to then end of the building became loose and needed to be fixed. We were told that this would only be a two week job, but found other issues whilst up there. We are now told that the scaffolding will be removed in the next two weeks.

• "We had a wonderful time staying in 6 The Beaches."

  The Apartment was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. The views looking out onto the beach were amazing. The Apartment is well situated with everything close by. Just a walk across the road is the beach, the harbour is around 5 minutes walk away as is the shopping centre. There were plenty of bars, cafes and restaurants to chose from. The Friday and Saturday nights were lively but very quiet on Sunday night. We would recommend 6 The Beaches and we would love to stay there again ourselves.

  However, this was dealt with quickly and efficiently. My only other comment would be that a quilt and cover of the same size were provided. The quilt was smaller than the cover, which meant one of us ended up with no quilt, just cover.

• "Such a perfect little property right on the sea front, a fantastic view of the sea literally from the bed and only a few steps from the beach and all at a very reasonable price."

  We were supplied with the necessities like soap and towels and the owners have gone above and beyond stocking the kitchen with supplies you would need to cook and clean. A very handy guide was supplied to us on arrival and I think the fact that we were given the parking permit included was a fantastic touch which I’ve never seen anywhere else and I very much appreciate. Overall a truly fantastic stay in the heart of Weymouth and I couldn’t have asked for better, I will definitely be hoping to come back again one day!

• "A lovely apartment, well equipped, clean, comfortable, everything I needed for a comfortable stay, I took the advice of another reviewer and kept the blinds closed when I went out in the mornings and the studio was lovely and cool when I returned."

  Very airy with the three windows. View fabulous. My only reservation is that this part of town is very noisy at night, the description was transparent about this and I am used to the regular hum of traffic, but this was loud music and shouting from two late bars nearby, one open till 2 am, the other till 4 am. They both have outdoor seating so the noise is not contained, and people leaving are not the most constrained. Very loud, backfiring motorbikes were also, curiously, a regular feature. On the plus side, I was awake for some stunning sunrises over the sea that could be enjoyed without leaving my bed.

Teens still out at 4am and motorcyclist up and down the road all night Please leave the blinds down during the day if it’s going to be sunny. Took us ages to cool the room down. Timer on bathroom light doesn’t last long enough Locks difficult to work. Door needs to be in a specific position to make top lock catch.

• "The apartment is absolutely gorgeous."

  I expected noise from the surrounding businesses but it was the road noise that caused sleepness nights. Cannot be helped but was very loud at times. Lovely to have a little tea tray when I arrived but very surprised to find no toilet roll in the bathroom! I think salt & pepper and some very basic items would help. Also, I am 5ft 2" and found it impossible to reach the cupboard above the microwave to get a bowl for myself. My final 'bad' comment is that there was quite a lot of dust on surfaces when I arrived. Having said all this, I thoroughly enjoyed my time at 6 The Beaches and would have no problem going back. The furnishings make the apartment very comfortable, no noise from the other apartments and it is an amazing view.

  The Beaches is set in a perfect location over looking Weymouth beach and the sea. Perfect location as a base for exploring the surrounding areas including the jurassic coast. Our stay was to relax and enjoy walks along the coast The harbour is well worth visiting as there are plenty of places to eat and drink. We had a lovely walk to Boleeze cove and enjoyed a bite to eat at The Oasis cafe. We would highly recommend staying at The Beaches which is clean, comfortable and very well situated. We shall be staying there again in the future.

• "Holiday was good overall but there were a few areas for improvement."

  The listing said that the road was quiet now due to the closure of a nightclub. This was not the case and was noisy till gone midnight most nights - this should be made clear in the listing. Parking was very difficult. We weren’t advised of the closure of the Pavilion car park (the main car park in the town) prior to our arrival which made parking very difficult. Cleanliness could have been improved, the floor/rug was not clean and we had to hoover ourselves. Glasses/Mugs weren’t that clean either, we had to wash before using them. We didn’t mind this but would’ve expected a better level of cleanliness to begin with. Basic supplies could have been better - broken knives, only 1 baking tray, would have expected at least some foil/food bags but there wasn’t any! The lock on the door was very temperamental and had to be in exactly the right place to lock - very fiddly! Overall, we probably wouldn’t stay again due to location and parking.

  Facilities and equipment in flat very good. The only issue you may want to put a handle in the bathroom when getting out of bath/shower nothing to hold into. Also the noise from 2 am til 3.30 am is not good young adults on skateboards up and down the promenade and shouting and singing kept us awake. Possible to leave ear plugs for each person in apartment to use. I would stay again.

Luckily we were going home on the Saturday morning or this would have really spoilt our holiday.

  From the initial booking to the day we arrived, the communication with Sykes and it’s staff was exemplary. The instructions received regarding access on arrival was very clear as was all the other accompanying information. The accommodation we booked was absolutely amazing in every respect; without doubt it was the best equipped accommodation we have ever rented. As always the comfort of a bed is a very individual thing, saw some previous critical comments regarding that, but we found it incredibly comfortable. Because we visited when pubs and bars had restricted opening times we never encountered any issues with noise from premises below the apartment that we saw others comment on previously. If all Sykes property’s are of the calibre of this booking - we will definitely confidently book with you again.

• "We enjoyed our stay tremendously, but there were problems."

  Parking to unload our luggage was a nightmare and on both Friday and Saturday nights we had very little sleep due to people at a nightclub two doors down were outside on the street yelling and swearing until 5 or 6 am! The local council should be informed. Some of the instructions were not as clear as they could be. The directions for key collection stated that the key was in a box to the left of the mailboxes and there were THREE key boxes. They should have been numbered according to the flats.The appliances were baffling. Why use touch screen hob and washer instead of dials? We had difficulty getting the hob to work. We could not alter the thermostat despite following the instructions to the letter.Other than that, we loved the flat and enjoyed our visit very much. We do plan on returning to 6 The Beaches again, despite infuriating appliances. The flat was very well appointed with lovely views over the beach.

  Thank you for your recent valuable feedback and that you found the apartment well-appointed and enjoyed the lovely views of the beach. We are sorry you found the apartment to be noisy, we do try and be as transparent as we can be in our description informing guests it is on the lively seafront with late night opening bars. As far as the owner is aware the council has been informed of the noise issue and understand the music license will be reviewed when it comes up for renewal. The key safe was given a letter against each apartment, them but we will check these to make sure they are clearly marked. Again many thanks for your comments and we look forward to welcoming you back to Dream Cottages again soon. Property Owner

  The views from the large windows were amazing and you could see them wherever you were in the main area of the flat, it was perfect. The flat was in a great location so close to the beach, the harbour, bars, restaraunts and the shops, they were all within easy walking distance. Tha only downside to us was the noise at night, we expected some noise as we knew where the flat was and the write up on the flat does disclose that, however it really was excessive!! There is a nightclub next door that is open until the early hours of morning, you can hear the constant base from the music at all times, from when it starts until the club closes, We could just about live with that, but the noise from the customers outside all night long is unbelievable! It really is on another level! Loud shouting, swearing screaming and calling after one another,arguing,running around over the road to the beach, on the beach, in the little promenade shelter opposite, both when the club is open and after it closed, there were some very large groups of youngsters , even with the windows closed it was impossible to sleep through it. this goes on until at least 4am, yesterday morning the last ones went off at 5.30. It really is such a shame, I would have loved to stay there again, but the sleep deprivation totally spoiled our four night break there for us. We were pleased we hadn't decided to include the weekend as others have reported it to be worse then, I can't imagine it any worse!

  The location is fantastic, great for watching the world to by and within walking distance of all local amenities. The only downside is, although in the listing it states about the noise of bars etc.as it is on the seafront, I have to point out that 2 of our four night stay we had no sleep as the club next door was open and the base of the music could be heard in the apartment and the clubbers continued their night, outside the club, one night until gone 6am and the other until gone 4 am, laughing, chatting shouting and arguing and it felt like they were in the apartment with us, even with the Windows closed, which needed to be open as it was very warm. I would suggest for you to take not just earplugs but also ear defenders!!!

  You need to take ear plugs as its noisy especially fri/sat nights at the Aura club until 4.30am. We did need the windows open at night though as it was hot. I think having a fan would have helped. Could have done with more storeage space for food suplies. Wasnt necessary to have over 10 mugs & so many casserole dishes, but apart from that i would definitely stay again.
