The property is well-situated, being a short walk from the station and seafront, with a bus stop conveniently located. The proximity to the street light was a concern for some guests regarding sleep quality.
Guests found the beds very comfortable and the furniture lovely, contributing to a pleasant stay. However, the lack of blackout curtains in the front bedrooms affected some guests' sleep due to the external street lighting.
The property is praised for its lovely furniture and kitchen amenities, including a washing machine. However, points were deducted for the musty smell, non-working solar lights, and lack of spices and sufficient toilet paper.
There is no mention of gifts or additional thoughtful touches provided by the owner in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category.
About this property
Nestled in the seaside town of Weymouth, along the beautiful Jurassic coast, close to the beach, The Skipper’s House is a wonderful escape for a family looking to explore the best of Dorset. Set over two floors, with an enclosed courtyard, The Skipper’s House features a welcoming sitting room, complete with a sofa, two chairs and Smart TV so you can enjoy your favourite shows after a long day. When appetite picks up, move into the kitchen and cook up a storm, assisted by a range of appliances, before settling down at the dining table and indulging. Head out through the patio doors from the dining room into the enclosed courtyard and spend those warmer evenings sitting back with a refreshing beverage in hand, toasting to a much-needed escape. Whisk away upstairs and make yourself comfortable within the bedrooms, offering a double, twin and single, serviced by a gleaming shower room. The main attraction of Weymouth is its stunning beach, nestled just a stone’s throw away, providing plenty of space for picnicking, sunbathing and engaging in a variety of watersport activities. Wander the Old Harbour area, lined with quaint fishermen’s cottages, the vibrant harbour and the bustling waterfront, before exploring the narrow streets and dipping in and out of various independent boutiques. Sample fresh food at one of the many well-established restaurants or pick up a portion of fish and chips for something quick. For historic sites, visit Tudor House, the Weymouth Museum, Northe Fort or the isle of Portland, connected to the mainland by a causeway. There’s so much to look forward to with a holiday at The Skipper’s House.
The popular resort of Weymouth makes an outstanding year-round holiday destination, with a wide variety of attractions on offer, appealing to all tastes and ages.

Everything you needed in the kitchen and having the washing machine was a bonus. Only downsides were a general musty smell in the downstairs rooms, especially in the kitchen by the sink, and the outside solar lights were not working which was a shame as we had some nice evenings and would have liked to sit outside. We would definitely stay again.
