"We were shocked when we arrived to see the derelict block next door to ocean view."
The apartment was fine but the exterior of the building needs to be painted and generally cleaned. The paint was peeling and mouldy in places. Two comments really, the inside was fine but the outside left a lot to be desired.
-
"Water didn't drain away well in both the bath and the shower."
Had a problem getting the key to the property as I was sent the wrong code twice before I got there, then when I spoke to maintenance, I was given two more codes to use! Eventually one worked. There was a space for parking, but the numbers for the spaces are very random and not near the corresponding apartment!
Thankyou for your review. We have checked the keysafe details to ensure that it shows the correct number. We are always here to help during your stay. We hope to welcome you back to Dorset soon. Property Owner

"Beds very uncomfortable - mattresses unsupportive/in need if replacement and beds too low."
Really bad issues with parking - could hardly ever use the space with others already in it or parked over the lines! Towel rail rusty in ensuite (let the bathroom down). We couldn't get in as keys were not in lock box safe when we arrived, but Sykes sorted it for us.

"We had a pleasant stay, the apartment block was a lot quieter than expected, not as clean as we would have liked - windows and balcony furniture - and some of the cooking items, frying pan and oven trays were well past their best."
-
"Situated in a lovely spot ,close to buses which were very regular."
Lots of lovely walks all around . Lovely coffee house and the salt restaurant near by and cove house Inn pub both served great food . Had a couple of problems at the property but owners came out to fix problems very quickly. A very nice comfortable place to stay .

"Location was great for us, short walk to WPNSA."
Nice to have biscuits and coffee/tea available on arrival. We had a good week, thanks. Some things which could be improved: - Sharp knives needed for preparing food - En-suite shower drains very slowly, I cleared the sink in there - I washed the windows, how do you clean the full height glass panels on the balcony?
-
"All instructions to obtain keys for apartment spot on, but it would have been helpful to know there was an extra gizmo attached to open barrier and main entrance door."
Also took quite a while to find parking space. Had to ask the office but even they got the parking space wrong and had to wander around two different areas to find the number. Owner needs to read the visitors book about wash basins too.

"Good area to explore the area."
Good view from this second floor apartment. The bathroom wash basin was very slow to drain.
