Guests say
Sandpiper is a well-regarded cottage in Weymouth, appreciated for its cleanliness, comfortable furnishings, and convenient location. Guests have enjoyed the proximity to local attractions and the added bonus of an electric car charger. While some minor maintenance issues and neighbourly noise were mentioned, the overall sentiment is positive, with many guests expressing a desire to return.
The property is frequently described as clean and tidy, with several guests specifically commending the cleanliness. However, a few reports of unclean kitchen cabinets and carpets suggest room for improvement.
The location is highly praised for its easy access to local amenities, beaches, and scenic walks. The convenience of public transport and the peaceful setting are also appreciated, contributing to a high score.
Guests find the property comfortable, with special mentions of a super comfy bed and cozy lounge. Some concerns about the height of the bed and the need for a stair rail indicate that comfort could be further enhanced for all guests.
The facilities, including a well-equipped kitchen and electric car charger, are well-received. However, comments about insufficient toilet rolls, the need for additional outdoor furniture, and a secure garden for dogs suggest that some facilities could be better maintained or provided.
While guests have mentioned welcome folders and a cleaning bundle, there is no consistent mention of gifts or special touches that would fall under thoughtfulness. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.
