The space in this apartment is amazing and all the bedrooms and bathrooms are huge. Lots of space for 6 adults. A very modern and enjoyable space and all right in the heart of Weymouth. Nikki did a great job of making our arrival efficient with a spotlessly clean and tidy apartment waiting for us. We were made aware of an issue prior to our arrival and this was resolved as soon as practicable. Being a top floor apartment it could get quite warm and the restricted window opening is totally understandable but fans were provided for each bedroom. All the facilities worked including dishwasher, washing machine and dryer which meant to didnât have to bring too much luggage. Whilst the stairs to the top floor was known it was a struggle for one of our party so maybe we will try for apartment 2 on the middle floor next time. In terms of stairs and a better view. If I had to pick any faults then the pans in the kitchen need replacing as they have reached the end of their life as the non stick coating comes off into anything cooked in them. (We only used once so not a huge issue as plenty of places to eat out on your doorstep). Thank you for a great stay.

The rooms are exrtremely light and airy. Our bedroom had only rooflights but still managed to be light. The only negative side to this was for anyone who struggles to sleep, the early morning daylight might be a bit of a problem. The most surprising thing was how quiet the apartment is, despite the windows being single glazed. We had stayed on the harbour before and know how noisy it can get. In conclusion, a lovely apartment, in a beautiful location.
