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.

"The rubbish bin had not been emptied so we had to put our rubbish in large bins across the road."
Only one set of keys provided.
No drawers in double bedroom.
Despite all of the above we had a brilliant holiday and would stay here again.

"Wessex View is a beautiful property with period features and an amazing view."
The road is busy and obviously there was traffic noise but we expected this. There was everything we could need in the flat & it's just a short walk into town. The only issue for us was the mattress which wasn't the most comfortable if you gave back problems.

"Superb property, exactly as listed and in a perfect location on esplanade with beach and all amenities on doorstep."
Very practical layout and star attraction being front room with huge windows overlooking sea. Had a perfect stay and one of our family’s favourite UK breaks ever. If there’s an observation, it’s the double bedroom - a little on the small side with minimal storage and a seemingly worn and uncomfortable mattress. Nothing some shelving in wardrobe and a new mattress wouldn’t resolve. Overall, an amazing property for our holiday.

"We enjoy staying to Wessex View, love its location and have booked again for next year."
Even better if … the base of the WC could be silicone sealed to prevent constant odour of urine. The standard of cleaning is marginal, seems to be done in a hurry.
The Dream Cottage staff are very friendly & couldn’t be more helpful whenever we contacted them. It was lovely having a mattress topper on the bed making it very comfortable.

"Leaking radiator in the bathroom and the WiFi was appalling."
Using a ‘Post Office’ router, which are terrible and basic, with a speed of about 7.8mbps. The WiFi kept dropping off regularly and the hotel next had better WiFi as we kept picking up their signal. The speed shows that they are on basic ADSL speed and not Fttc (FTTP not available for the address) hence the slow speed. It became unusable.

It’s well maintained and cleanliness has improved. The dble bed bedroom would really improve if : a) the beside bed lockers weren’t so unstable and the lights were reading lights
a) the duvet is a bit shabby & tired looking.
Otherwise, a nice flat to stay in & we’ve booked again for next year.

"Well positioned (on the Esplanade next to the beach) and well equipped with everything you might need."
Victorian ambience with wooden window shutters rather than curtains. Sleeping is at the rear thereby avoiding the road noise (only disadvantage of being on the front). Single car parking slot at the rear of the property was closer than I had anticipated. Some late noise from the Bingo hall area on friday late.
Unfortunately we left a carrier bag of presents behind (inexplicitly) and are in the process of trying to recuperate it.

"Great location, very central, lounge was a lovely space - views out to see were brilliant."
Due to central siting it can be noisy at night time with revellers. Not completely clean on arrival; fridge had old milk stains in the door, there was a popped balloon under the sofa. Mattresses need new protectors on them. Lock to flat door was faulty and worn, any key could open it (we even had success with our house key). Called owner to report, it was replaced the day we vacated.

"We had a lovely week."
The flat was very clean and had everything we needed and plenty of space for the two of us. The seaview is a big plus. The only disappointments were that it stands on a very busy road, though maybe we shouldn't have been surprised, given its location, and that we couldn't get wifi in the twin bedroom, neither of which would stop us staying again as we loved being so close to the sea for our morning dips.

Great central location with parking. It has a comfortable living room with a beautiful view of the bay. Furnishings are fine and it has a good useable kitchen.
The double bed in the main bedroom was pretty uncomfortable, to the point where we will bring our own bed topper next time we visit. Overall, it's a lovely apartment but let down by the bed quality.
Hi Patricia, thank you for your feedback. We have now added memory foam mattress toppers to all the mattresses in the property. Hopefully this will make them more comfortable when you stay with us in the future.

Main Bedroom totally inadequate, there was little room to move around, there were No drawers. Therefore two elderly people had to live out of suitcases. The area supposed to be a wardrobe was an area with a curtaiin covering it , in an alcove. The rail was so high only one person could reach it.. The twin bedroom was again without a chest of drawers. One small drawer in bedside cabinet and a small drawer in a dressing table.

So many beautiful walking routes close by. The view of the sea from the lounge was amazing. The apartment was comfortable with good facilities. Off road car parking was definitely a bonus. The only negative for us was the lack of windows in the bedrooms, having said that, this would not prevent us from booking here again as the positives far out way this negative.

"We thought the flat was in brilliant location, so close to the beach, town and facilities."
It was nicely furnished with beautiful large windows. We really enjoyed the sea views. It was great to have a car park space too.
We did however have an issue with noise nuisance from one of the neighbours to the rear of the property. At night when going to bed we could hear television or maybe computer games coming from one of the flats and it sometimes went on until the early hours of the morning. It wouldn't have been considered loud in the day time but was a real nuisance when trying to get to sleep. I ended up sleeping in the lounge for a number of nights. My husband is deaf in one ear so could put his good ear on the pillow and get off to sleep. The first couple of nights were fine and we thought the nuisance might be a one off when it occurred but it continued for the rest of the week. It was difficult to report as we couldn't work out where the sound was coming from. The arrangement to the back of the flat is fairly complicated and there are many buildings. It was only when we were packing the car to leave on Saturday morning that we could hear the noise again and see that it appeared to be coming from the first floor flat at the back. There was a window open and this was near the window of the main bedroom of our flat where we had been sleeping.

The property
Experience stunning sea views from this beautifully presented ground-floor apartment, Wessex View, located in the popular seaside resort of Weymouth in Dorset.
It enjoys a prime position on the esplanade, just a few moments from the golden, sandy beach.
The accommodation lies all on one level, aside from some steps leading down into the twin bedroom, and is suited best to a family of four or perhaps a couples break.
Upon entering, be greeted by a grand and spacious hallway, leading into the large living room/diner, where attractive sash windows offer beautiful views of the sea outside, and create a light, bright atmosphere.
Settle on one of the vibrant yet classic teal chesterfield sofas, beneath the sparkling chandelier and above the real wood flooring, you can flick on the TV and watch a favourite programme.
Behind this area is the dining table, perfect for serving up a feast made in the excellent kitchen which adjoins this room via folding doors, with plenty of workspace to create delicious dishes with quality appliances.
Freshen up in the sleek and fully tiled bathroom, choose to have a long soak in the tub or a speedy shower to start your day well.
Rest in one of the two bedrooms, with the master double bedroom enjoying a beautiful stained glass backdrop, and a feature fireplace, while the second bedroom is a delightful twin room.
Wessex View quite arguably enjoys one of the best locations in Weymouth, being right on the shoreline and within walking distance of all the bustling shops, restaurants and local boutiques that invite you in to browse and dine and indulge while on your holiday.
Grab an ice cream and go to watch the old-fashioned Punch & Judy show, or tuck into fish and chips at the old historic harbour as you watch the world go by.
Wessex view offers a fabulous seaside escape on the delightful Weymouth shorefront.
