"The location is ideal for walking to the sea front, saving on time a money for parking."
If we stayed here again, we would take our own clean bed linen.
I am sorry to hear that you have had some issues with the cleanliness of the bed linen. All housekeeping is carried out by Dream Cottage’s own team, so we do have a note in the guest book to say that if things aren’t to your satisfaction then to contact the Dream cottage’s office immediately to have this resolved. So that this issue would not then impair the enjoyment of your holiday.
Kind regards “The Owner.”
Please note as from the 31/10/25 the property will be cleaned and linen provided by a different company, with the aim of improving the standard of housekeeping.

"Well located."
10 minute slow stroll on the flat to the centre of Weymouth.
Comfortable seating in the lounge and plenty of side tables.
Good size dining table
Bathrooms are good. Shower in first floor, family bathroom is large.
Garden includes a dining table and chairs and 2 relaxing chairs. Was quite a suntrap in September.
Unfortunately, although the rest of the house seemed clean, the kitchen is crying out for a deep clean. There were significant greasy smears and stains on then kitchen cupboard doors
Thank you for your feedback regarding your stay at Plain Sailing.
I am glad you found the property and location to your liking. Please note that since your stay the kitchen has had an extensive clean and a complete kitchen refit is booked in for January 2026.
Kind regards “The Owner”.

"The level of cleaning was shocking on arrival."
Surfaces like draws, TV unit, Skirting boards, window sills, ornaments, hadn't been dusted in a long, long time. Toilets with no cleaner in, shower traps full of hair, shower screens not been cleaned in long time. Draws were clothes go gad to be hovered out 1st before we could put stuff away. Some Towels stained, even after we re washed them. Attention to hoovering and mopping poor, didn't both with corners or moving furniture. Did call & report to office. House itself and location perfect, well equipped and well decorated.
Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent stay at Plain Sailing and I am delighted that you found the house and location perfect for your holiday.
I am disappointed to hear that the standard of cleaning did not meet with your expectations. All aspects of housekeeping are carried out by Dream Cottages own team so I have raised the issue with them to ensure it is all carried out to a higher standard in the future.
Kind regards ‘The Owner’.

Excellent accommodation & location, very well equipped, we did find in the welcome pack the bar of chocolate had a chunk missing & the only other issue was nothing to facilitate recycling, we will certainly return and recommend,

"The house is beautifully decorated and very clean."
We felt very comfortable in this cosy home. Everything was well equipped and well thought out would definitely stay here again. We are planning to book this again for next year. We’ve stayed in places in Weymouth before always had issues with parking. There were no issues with this place parking was allocated and considerate neighbours. When we arrived, there was a beautiful welcome hamper, and most of the essentials to get us by were provided. This was a lovely surprise and set the tone for a wonderful holiday.
Thank you very much for the lovely review of your stay at Plain Sailing, I am so pleased you enjoyed your holiday.
It would be great to welcome you back in the future!

"Lovely property, felt like home straight away."
Very well equipped and love the decor.
The location is ideal for getting out and about, both on foot and by car. The town centre and sea front are only 15 mins walk away and the old harbour is well worth a visit for relaxing and watching the world go by. Plenty to do in the area, for all ages and the scenery is spectacular so driving was not a chore.
The property would benefit from a blind on the lounge window as our dog is extremely protective and barked at every car, person and bird passing the window! The Velux window in the ensuite could also do with a blind to keep the sun out as it got quite hot in there and in the master bedroom
We will definitely return and went home chilled and rested after a great few days away, didn't want to leave! I would have no hesitation in recommending Plain Sailing to others

"Beautiful house."
Immaculate inside and out. Lovely decoration. Super welcome gift.
My only gripe was after we left on the way home I called Sykescottages to report something three times on way home. Gave up in the end after being past from pillar to post and then being on hold for 25 mins at the end! Gave up in the end. . Perhaps you would like to call me for more information. ?
Thank you very much for your review of Plain Sailing, it is rewarding to hear that you liked the house so much.
I note your difficulty in trying to contact Sykes Cottages and have made the managing agents aware of this.

"Plain Sailing is a lovely property which is well equipped and in a good location for the town centre and a great base to explore the area."
The furniture is very comfortable and the decor very tasteful and relaxing. The patio is sheltered and catches the afternoon sun which was an added bonus. The house is cosy and warm and the heating is easy to adjust. We enjoyed it so much we extended our stay. The house being on three floors with quite steep stairs might not be ideal for less mobile but we managed ok. Would highly recommend.
Thank you for your positive feedback. I am delighted that you enjoyed yourselves so much that you decided to extend your stay. Best wishes from ‘The Owner’

"The location of the property is excellent - less than 10 minutes walk from the town and sea front."
The kitchen had everything we needed for our stay and the Happy Hamper and pint of milk were a lovely extra. Maybe this is an age thing, but staying there did confirm our dislike of the latest fashion for naked light bulbs and barely there lampshades as we did struggle with the lighting in the evenings. Also, I have never had to log onto my own TV account in a holiday home before and had to contact the holiday company after we got home to ask them to delete it from the TV as I forgot to do so! Otherwise, a lovely place to stay.
Thank you very much for taking the time to review your stay at ‘Plain Sailing’.
I have noted your comments regarding the lighting and would like to advise that it was specifically chosen to compliment the contemporary, relaxed decor of the property.
It is not necessary for guests to log into their own personal TV accounts just to watch normal television, but of course guests can log into their own personal streaming services on the Smart TV’s that are provided, if desired.
I am delighted that overall you found ‘Plain Sailing’ a lovely place to stay.
