Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.

Maybe secondary glazing in main bedroom for the noise of the bridge opening. Apart from that it was an excellent property.

"Sailor’s watch, absolutely fabulous."
So much so,that on our 3rd day of being there we booked up for next year.
The kitchen was well equipped. The beds were very comfortable.
Everything was really clean. We couldn’t believe how big it was inside.
We loved the gardens.
The view was absolutely gorgeous daytime and night.
My granddaughter was so excited every day to see the bridge open and close.
It was so close to every thing, practically on your doorstep !
Complimentary tea/coffee/milk etc was a lovely touch as was the roses.
My granddaughter appreciated the kids toys etc.
We accidentally locked ourself out , but the owner was on site in no time at all. Taught us a valuable lesson to always leave spare set in key safe.
The only things we found that would be useful in the property is a draining rack. As there’s not a lot of space to put washing up on.
Also the top garden window ,one side has a pane of glass missing overlooking the courtyard below. Our granddaughter threw a ball out of this window for our dog and it worried me greatly as the dog could have jumped up trying to retrieve the ball, as could have our granddaughter. It just needs a piece of wood to cover it that side.
But it hasn’t put us off staying again.
We are already missing being there and cannot wait to return.
Thank you to the owners for making our holiday extra nice by providing such a lovely homely place to stay.

"The sofas were very low, also the mattress in the back bedroom looked about 20 years old covered in stains!"
I would suggest that the artificial grass be changed at it smelt disgusting (dog pee). The building works in council car park next door was very annoying, 8am - 5pm constant drilling, it actually shook the house!! Apart from that we had a good stay in Weymouth.
I'm so very sorry to hear your feedback.
Sadly the council work next door sprung up and we were not aware of it happening until January. But, you should have been informed prior to your arrival. The mattress is being replaced and the artificial grass will be
professionally washed and cleaned. It usually is washed in between guests so not sure why it smelt so bad during your stay.
I can only but apologise that you've had such a bad experience at Sailor's Watch and hope you can see from all our previous feedback, our guests are usually pretty happy with their holidays here with numerous repeat visitors. Best wishes The Owner

"Sailor's Watch was a lovely place to stay for a week in February, especially as we were blessed with amazing sunny weather."
The property was, as others have said, really well equipped and very spacious. No problem with feeling cooped up indoors had the weather not been so kind.
But, and yes, there are two buts - first impression was most dispiriting. It's a drab passageway leading up to Sailor's Watch itself. At first we feared our accommodation was the roofless wreck that we faced as we came up the passage! Once we'd accepted that it led to a spotless home, airy and light, we were fine, but it was off-putting initially.
The second but was to do with noise. We must confess that we aren't used to noise at night but on the Saturday night cars were still roaring up and down outside at 4 am. I know because they were keeping me awake! I learned subsequently that there is a nightclub nearby that doesn't close till 5 am. However, once the weekend was over all was quiet. So if you're sleeping (or hoping to sleep) in the front bedroom, hang on in there; it does get much better.
Really worth considering for a break in Weymouth. Convenient and with excellent views as well as perfect for strolling into town.

"We stayed 4th-10th November 2022."
Enjoyed the fireworks display on the beach. You need to sort the TV controller out downstairs. Otherwise, must have liked the digs as I've already booked the same week for 2023!

"We have been using Sykes/Dream cottages for many years, staying at various accommodations in Weymouth."
On this occasion we chose Sailors Watch. This is by far the best place we've stayed. It was the cleanist, largest, well equipped, and best location we've ever had. Sailors Watch is situated above another Sykes property. So after entering a communal door downstairs, you have to go up a set of steps to reach it. The large fully equipped kitchen diner greets you on entry,with tea, coffee, hot chocolate, biscuits, along with milk in fridge.The living area overlooks the bridge and harbour, a lovely view. There are 2 bathrooms with welcome packs in each, including shampoo, conditioner, soap etc. 2 large bedrooms, and a bedroom with 2 single beds. Beds are very comfortable.Note to everyone staying, the heating control is on top of the fridge, which we only found after contacting the office. A strange place to put it! We had a wonderful stay at this property, and will hopefully book again for next year.

"The decor of the cottage was lovely and the location perfect."
We loved the cottage as it was contemporary but with some quirky features. The cottage was very well equipped - we all appreciated the welcome box with teas and tasty biscuits. It was very relaxing just to sit and watch the boats go by. Lots of cafes and restaurants in walking distance which was great. We were able to go on several walks, to the fort and to a castle, plus just walking around the lively harbour was enjoyable. My son loved the arcades near the beach, which was a 15 minute walk away. There are boat trips you can do close to the cottage. My son and I went on one and managed to see the resident dolphins William and Harry. It is a short walk over the bridge into Weymouth town centre which has all the shops you would need plus some independent shops. We could not have asked for more, except that we all wanted to stay longer.

"Everything about this holiday was perfect."
The website was easy to navigate, we had lots of choice and we managed to find a cottage that suited our needs perfectly. Sykes kept us updated about coronavirus risks without unduly worrying us which was ace. The cottage itself was spotlessly clean giving us every confidence in our choice. The cottage was also extremely well fitted out with everything we needed for a great weeks holiday. We found it to be very dog friendly with outside areas for him to run and lie in - he loved it too ! The parking permit was an added bonus, we managed to park outside the cottage every day (although it was just out of season) but there were also plenty of permitted areas within walking distance of the cottage. Due to coronavirus the owners are, understandably, advised not to visit tenants in person but they did contact us by text message to check if everything was ok which was very much appreciated, they seem very friendly are caring people. We have been on many cottage breaks in the UK and we both agreed this was the best we have ever stayed in. We would highly recommend this cottage and are looking to go back ourselves if we can.

Very well equipped and spotlessly clean and cosy. Excellent uninterrupted views of the harbour. Quite happy to sit in the window watching the world go by and the town bridge opening to allow the boats to pass through. Although it was January still plenty to see and do in the area with shops, pubs and restaurants on the doorstep, many dog friendly. Despite being situated on quite a busy road into town didn't notice traffic noise and very quiet during the night too. Parking directly outside not a problem with the permit so that was a major bonus. Annie the owner went over and above to make our holiday as comfortable and stress free as possible. We hope to return next year. Just brilliant!! Andrea & Steve Chidgey & Angus
