• "Lovely property!"

  Nice and clean. Location was excellent! Only downside was the mattress in the main bedroom was very uncomfortable. Was too firm. Didn't have the best nights sleep and had a sore back the next day. Would love to stay again but the bed is putting us off.

• "Exactly as described."

  Spotlessly clean , spacious and comfortable. Partial seaview better than expected. Gated parking very convenient. Apartment was in easy walking distance of many eateries and the centre of Weymouth just a little further over the bridge,( with even more pubs/ restaurants) ! Not completely on the level as the apartment is on a bit higher ground.

• "This is the second time visiting and the place is lovely but cleanliness during summer is an issue."

  Basics were done but a deep clean was needed. Skirtings dusty, tiles in bathroom and door in bathroom need cleaning as examples. Also no change of bedding or towels during the 2 week stay feels a bit cheap given had I booked as two separate weeks the flat would have at least had a change and basic clean. Only other thing to mention would be the bathroom, window always needs to have the blind down due to flat opposite. Would be good if it was frosted or a frosted blind so light can still get in.

• "A modern, very comfortable and well equipped apartment that was spotlessly clean."

  Parking can be challenging, particularly when adjacent bays are all in use, but manageable with a bit of patience and some 'tight spot' car manoeuvring skills!

  This was by far the most expensive cottage/ apartment we have hired and the first time we have not had a welcome pack.

• "We love revisiting Newtons Cove View each year, it is one of our favourite holiday destinations."

  The property has everything that you need for a home from home holiday experience. Its close proximity to harbour and Nothe Fort is a major positive, with many great walks close by. We have already booked for next year and would ask that the bushes behind the already tight car parking space be trimmed back, at present it is impossible to open the car boot.

  The only thing that I felt let us down this time was. We have always had a few teabags tea and a small bottle of milk. Just a small thing but when you have drove a few hours then ut makes a difference. But our stay was lovely. Can't wait for the next one.

• "A really lovely well equipped apartment in a superb location a few minutes walk from the old harbour and Nothe Fort and Gardens."

  Very comfortable and spacious rooms and lovely view from the lounge out to Portland. The only thing to be aware of if you are staying when it is cooler/ colder is that there is no effective heating. The boiler heats the radiators using moist air from kitchen & bathroom. We were there around Easter when it was wet, windy & chilly and radiators were only very luke warm. Fortunately an immersion heater so plenty hot water.

  Good weather for our stay made for a great holiday. Others have commented on the challenging car park space. When all neighbouring residents are parked, it is not easy- especially the first time, But not impossible,. Location just a short walk to the old harbour ,shops ,and eating establishments. Overall, couldn’t be better. We would like to come again. Chris & Anne

  We love Weymouth and have never stayed this end before. We definitely prefer it. The lights and boats by the old harbour are beautiful. We parked in our designated space no problem with our Nissan Quashqai. The accommodation was lovely and we had everything we needed.

• "We have stayed at Newtons Cove View a number of times and as usual it was spotlessly clean on arrival."

  It is not the quietest of locations as it is overlooking the bin store and the outside areas have a gravel covering which amplifies footsteps and traffic movements, Our visit this year was blighted by roofing maintenance being carried out on the development. Workmen noisily arriving at 7.30am and parking outside our apartment, skip and material store were sited directly across from our bedroom. Hoist generator running for hours making it impossible to enjoy a relaxing holiday in this lovely apartment. We have already booked for next year, we have our fingers crossed.

• "A fabulous location and lovely accommodation."

  Will definitely return. A couple of minor things that could be thought about in furture: There was no shaver point so nowhere to charge a toothbrush or electric razor. We took our shoes off on entering the hall, as requested, but it would have been more tidy if there had been a rack to put them on, for which there was plenty of room - also a coat rack would have been handy! We used the boiler cupboard to dry our towels so no room for coats in there.

• "We were really pleased with the quality of the accommodation."

  The flat seemed relatively new and exceptionally clean. It was well equipped and cosy. Both bedrooms had a tv so the kids could have a bit of time to themselves (which helped when the weather was bad and we couldn’t get out). The location was great for us. Its a 10 minute walk from the centre of town and we loved being near to the harbour and Nothe gardens. The parking is secure due to being a gated community. Nice view of the sea and Portland. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back.

  Also the security light opposite the bedroom lights up the room most the night could do with blackout curtains. Apart from this had a lovely stay again thankyou

  Linda, I have written to Dream Cottages/Sykes to ask them to allow arrivals at my apartment by 14:00hrs. My cleaners are not from Dream Cottages, and therefore should have the apartment ready by 14:00hrs. I have also spoken to the Management Company about the lighting opposite. The light can't be moved or turned off as it is for security. I am in the process of ordering new blinds as two of the current ones are broken - the new blinds will be blackout blinds. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay, and many thanks for your custom. Kathryn Sullivan Property Owner

• "The earliest access time of 5:00 pm is not acceptable."

  It effectively cost us half a day's holiday. The reason given for this is cleaning due to Covid. This should always have been the standard of cleaning and is not an excuse for such a late time. 3:00 pm should easily be attainable. The property is excellent, the refurbishment was much appreciated. However, I would not book again if 5:00pm is the entry time.

  Keith, Many thanks for your review. I have written to Dream Cottages/Sykes to ask them to allow arrivals at my apartment by 14:00hrs.

  We have already booked for 2023!. The refurbished bathroom and new furniture has made a huge difference to the ambience of the apartment. The shower is a definite plus for us oldies. Before staying in Newtons Cove View we stayed at another apartment in the block, we are both convinced that the very awkward parking space now designated for apartment 20 was apartment 18, the number sequencing also suggests this. I can only surmise that a resident has swapped places. The parking space is almost impossible to exit with large cars parked in 18 and 21, only negative.

• "We enjoyed our week in this property but there are some improvements which could be made: The boiler is noisy (perhaps an issue with design, installation or service)."

  Some areas of the bathroom look as though they have only been cleaned superficially and not been properly cleaned for some time (grouting on floor and side of bath). There was little "extra" equipment (only 2 toilet rolls for the week, a very small amount of washing-up liquid and 3 dishwasher tablets. No extra waste bin liners. We have been using rental accommodation for over 45 years now and the supply of these items seemed quite sparse. The parking space is quite tight.

• "September 2019: This is the first time I have ever booked a self catering accommodation and felt so underwhelmed and so unwelcome."

  The property failed on quite a number of points, as follows: 1) The boiler was incredibly noisy and lead to disturbed sleep on a number of nights for all of us staying at the property. We had to keep the internal doors closed at all times to try and reduce the noise level. I did try to call the owner in the first instance as directed by the property folder but there was no response to my call and no facility to leave a message. The problem was reported to office on Monday 23rd Sept, where we told someone would be out to look at the boiler on the day. I received a call on Friday 27th September to say that the owner didn't believe that there was a problem and it was a known issue! This is completely unacceptable and really put a dampener on our holiday experience. 2) The bed linen and towels were stained in places and need to be replaced. Yes they were clean but they were old. 3) The wifi was intermittent and worked <50% of the time. 4) The only guides to the local area were in the folder and were basic. I would have expected up to date leaflets / brochures of surrounding attractions to be available in the apartment. A visitor book is also useful to learn what other people found as good experiences. I suspect with the issues re: the apartment (as per my list), the owner is nervous to do so. 5) The apartment was very unwelcoming. The only items in the kitchen on arrival was salt & pepper. After a 5hr driver, perhaps tea, coffee and a pint of milk would be a welcome site... Similarly, I don't know how a family of 4 would be able to cook meals for themselves with such small pans. The kitchen bin also needs to be replaced as it is broken. If you are going to book this place and stay for a week, be prepared to bring everything with you from cooking oil to bin bags. Luckily I booked out of season, I would have been extremely disappointed if I had paid full price at peak season.

  The couple parked next to us failed to move the car for their entire stay, due to the difficulty in parking and we felt the same. Also the heating was an issue with noise from the boiler constantly and needs to be looked at as it would make banging noises all day and night. But the apartment was very nice and clean. But the people using the bin store opposite the window made it difficult to relax with people looking in.
