My mother being 93 years old was also pleased it was just what we were looking for. There is a problem with the heating and could only get it to work by overriding it . Please pass this on to owner. The red light flashing at the side of boiling is the indication of the fault from room thermostat. But as we had such good weather we only wanted heating on once. Please send the owner my apologies, for not emptying the fridge. I also took all our rubbish/ waste back home with us. But was distracted by my mum hence why I forgot the stuff in the fridge. And again would like to thank the owner for such a wonderful week. And if itâs ok I would like to recommend this apartment to my friends. And I would like to say in all the time Iâve used Sykes Cotages you have always come up trumps on your searches. So a big big thank you to all the team at Sykes.

Having the en suite to the main bedroom was a bonus. It was very convenient for us as my daughter lives 5 minutes away. Also only a short walk to the beach, bus stop, cafè and convenience shop. It is easy to get the No.4 bus along to Weymouth beach. Weymouth beach is sandier but much busier than stonier Preston beach which is closer to the accommodation. Wi-Fi worked very well, good to have the card with password just inside the cover of the white folder. Take care to take the red fob key (opens main door to the building) as well as the yellow fob apartment door key when you go out. Although there is the entry code system on the main door another resident locked the door once or twice which means the entry code doesnât let you in.

A short walk to the beach or 25min walk into Weymouth. Convenient for many local attractions and only 45mins from Swanage. Only minor niggle was that there were no spare bin bags or food recycling caddy. If we return to this area, would happily book here again.
