We stayed at the house for a week with our 2 year old. It suited us perfectly. The little garden was great to have a little play and sunbathe after a day out. We walked to most places from the house as was an easy walk. Took about 20 mins max to get into Weymouth town centre. Lots of lovely restaurants, sandy beach. The toilets by the beach were so clean for public toilets. There's a few bus stops on the main road bu the house if you didn't want to walk it. The other direction is a short walk to the Sealife centre, park and other activities which are all worth visiting. The kitchen was well equipped although bring your own kitchen roll and another t-towel. You'll also need to bring your own toilet roll. We managed to find 1 toilet roll for the whole house when we arrived after a long journey. Luckily, there's a Tesco Express 2 min walk from the house. You just walk down the alley/path next to the house and your by all the "convenient" shops (left to Tesco). The house was pretty clean. I'm not sure why they needed the extra 2 hours before we could check in as not gleaming but acceptable. The kitchen table and showers needed a good detol wipe. If you like your room to be very dark there are no black out curtains or blinds in the rooms and very noisy seagulls that land on the roof of the attic room in the mornings. But neither bothered us that much. We found the rooms very comfortable and spacious and all slept very well. I would definitely recommend this house as a place to stay. The location is great being just outside the town centre, so much quieter than being right in town. It was a lovely place to call our "holdiay" home for a week.

Stayed here in September as we couldn’t get into 5 due to a deep clean which it certainly didn’t have. The plug hole in the shower was blocked full of hair. The bin haven’t been emptied in the kitchen. Crumbs in between the sofa cushions. Hand prints on the back door and dust on the headboard you could write your name in it. Wrote an email and all we got offered was a £30 voucher.

Nestled in a lovely quiet location even though only a few minutes walk to the main road.. Only 15 minutes walk to the front at a leisurely pace. Excellent layout in the house. My husband and myself had the top floor with shower/ toilet facilities. I read the reviews before booking but still managed to bang my head on the apex of the roof. Having said that after I did it once, I was aware and that was that. One little point to note from my husband, when shaving, the mirror is to the side of the sink not above in front, but he managed. Beds are extremely comfortable and the sheets even smelled really fresh. We took my mother-in-law who was celebrating her 80th and she loved the house. Our two adult children and our chocolate lab came too and it never seemed overcrowded. It was spotlessly clean. Everything was catered for in the kitchen. A little confused with the recycling of rubbish as the different bins are provided but it does state in the booklet that the house falls under 'commercial waste' with no recycling at present so we put everything into black bags and tied them up and put into the large bins. Hope this was correct. Plenty of room for everyone to sit together in the lounge although the tv has limited channels but the weather was so beautiful we were out every day. Lovely safe enclosed back garden which I thought was grass from the photos but it is artificial grass. Thoroughly enjoyed this holiday and would definitely recommend it. It was great booking with Sykes as we took advantage of the £20 deposit offer with the balance spread over a few months. An excellent company with excellent communication. We would use Sykes again.
