Guests say
Blue Yonder is a well-received apartment in Weymouth, praised for its fantastic location with beach access, cleanliness, and comfortable furnishings. Guests appreciate the parking space, well-equipped kitchen, and the proximity to town. While some minor maintenance issues and suggestions for improvements are noted, the overall experience is positive, with many guests expressing a desire to return.
The apartment is generally described as clean, with specific mentions of a well-kept interior. However, there are comments about a stained toilet bowl and little flies in the bathroom upon arrival, which slightly detract from the overall cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to the beach and town, with the convenience of being within walking distance to local amenities. The sea views and the sound of waves add to the charm of the location.
Guests find the beds and sofas comfortable, contributing to a pleasant stay. However, there are remarks about light curtains not blocking out early morning light and thin duvets, which slightly affect the overall comfort.
The apartment is well-equipped with kitchenware and comfortable furniture. Some maintenance issues are noted, such as a stuck drawer, absence of a hair dryer, and difficulty lighting the gas hobs. The lack of a dryer, despite initial advertisement, and suggestions for a shower cubicle indicate room for improvement.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category.

Having a garage is a real bonus.

The walk to the centre of Weymouth was a bit more than 15 mins , which I think is what it said in the brochure but maybe we are slow. It was an easy walk though. Couldn't find a hair drier but that was the only thing that seemed to be missing. Would stay there again

When we booked this, the description stated washer/dryer.. however there is no dryer and description has since been amended. Also it did not state there are four steps along the path from garage to the front door.. which was tricky with a wheelchair user. You can access the property from the patio doors but be aware there is a step up. Could not get gas hobs to light but Dream Cottages delivered a gas lighter within hours. Does not appear to be a key to lock garage doors but didn't use garage as a bit tight. Lovely comfy beds and living room sofa. Looking forward to our week there over Christmas.
