Spacious apartment. Very comfortable beds. Free on site parking is a massive bonus and via the rear entrance. Parking can be a little tight but not difficult. Reverse in if busy. Good in house internet, password provided. It's like home from home. We would definitely stay here again.

The apartment is across the road from Weymouth beach. - There is private parking but can be hard to get into the space. See below. - Main bedroom has an en suite bathroom which is useful. - Apartment was spacious and no pet smells or hairs due to it being pet free. - We reported an issue with the bedroom window lock to Dream Cottages and, to their credit, they dealt with it quickly. Not so good points: - Mattress in main bedroom was very uncomfortable. We both left with backache. This is the main reason I wouldnât return. - The property wasnât dirty but I donât think the floors were vacuumed properly before we entered. There was dust and hair all over one of the door stoppers. Kitchen handles felt sticky. The oven was very clean but then one of the baking trays had lots of oil on it. Beds and bathrooms felt clean. There were just quite a few minor things that made me think the cleaning wasnât very thorough. - Freezer very small. Only enough space for 1 bag of chips. We wanted to buy ice creams but there was no space. - Toilet in en suite needs to be replaced. There were unsightly permanent yellow stains at the bottom of the toilet bowl. - You are advised to reverse into the parking space but what they donât tell you is that this is impossible if there is a large car parked in the space next to the entrance. I emailed Dream Cottages and sent them a photo of the parking situation. I asked them how we are supposed to reverse into our space with cars parked along Crescent Street and a large car parked by the entrance to the car park. They didnât respond - presumably because they agree that it is impossible! We were very lucky because when we returned there was no car parked at the entrance. That car park simply cannot fit that many cars. - Noise from apartment above. There is obviously nothing that can be done about this because itâs part of apartment living but you could hear every single step from the people upstairs. There was random shouting in the middle of the night and loud thumps.

You go down 4 small steps from your parking space in to the rear of the property and then it is all on one level which was perfect for us with small children. Very roomy inside, plenty of space for the children to play when we weren't out on the beach which was literally over the road. The parking space was fine for our car however there were some larger cars parked in the other spaces at times which did make it tricky to park/leave the space at times not a huge problem. Only negative is you can hear footsteps from whoever is staying above you, which for the first few days were very late and loud, lots of running about late in the night. But when these people left and new visitors arrived this was less of a problem as their habits mirrored our own. So this could have been more of a negative but luckily it got better through the week.
