Brewers Quay is the old Victorian brewery situated at the heart of the harbour, in Weymouth, Dorset. Much of the grade II listed complex and surrounding brewery buildings date from the late 1800 early 1900’s and many have stones inlaid commemorating their construction year. This area is now a popular destination with many restaurants, café and bars, creating a vibrant culture, where you can relax with a drink and watch the world go by. Tucked away down the harbourside streets, you will find original Tudor harbour buildings, estimated to have been built in 1600 and well worth a visit, with a very interesting history to share. You will also find the Weymouth Museum, with some incredible exhibitions, and the harbour is also home to the lifting bridge, where you can watch the luxury yachts head out to sea, and then walk over the bridge to the town's winding streets of boutique shops and the seafront esplanade and beach. There is more to this seaside town than meets the eye; Brewers Quay is a much-loved holiday destination in Weymouth!

Very dangerous and health hazard. There were also 3 Stanley/craft knives. In the sideboard drawer. Have removed them. I reported all this to your shop in Weymouth.

I had had some communication with Sykes after I had booked the apartment. The steps are lethal, the top wooden decking is beginning to break and there are no handrails. Disgusted at how I was fobbed off... Cutlery in tray dirty which meant I had to clean it before use. Two internal steps which blended into the step below, we ended up putting hand towels across to highlight where the steps were. Both of us lost our footing on these. The main bedroom was difficult to negotiate around the bed. Should have been a mortice lock on the front door. Shower base extremely small, difficult to move around in. There were shelves missing on the door of the fridge. Large knives not even sharp enough to slice a tomato. Very disappointed with the standards. Costs are high but standards are low. Won't be using Sykes again!
