Self Catering in Dorset - Weymouth

Do not book !
Stayed the week after the person below 7-14 th aug ... that week was a heat wave . What syke cottages dont tell you when you book is a truthful description of the property, it is not 50 meters from bars and restaurants that close at 12 ., its right next door to a nightclub that closes at 4am , but people are still outside chatting , smoking and singing till 6 am ... this happens everynight , not just weekends ( look up the reviews on The Nook , weymouth, to see more reviews about the noise .) This meant we could not have any windows open in a heatwave , as windows are single glazed you could still hear the noise . The house had no air con or fans , we ended up buying fans by the monday , but syke cottages wouldnt refund for the fans , as we purchased before we asked them , well sorry but we were beginning to be ill as we had not slept ! . Customers also queue up outside the house waiting to get into the club . Shame as the house is lovely , but not fit for purpose without double glazing and aircon if the weather is nice . Also emailed syke cottages about the false description of the property and our horrible experience about 15 times ... no reply... rubbish customer service!! If you like to sleep for more than 2 hours over a 24 hour period DONT BOOK !

1 week stay
Stayed at low tide the first week of August 2020. A nightclub next door really will guarantee no sleep, especially when it is open till 5am. Even with covid 19 restrictions the closing time was still 4am - 5am. Club staff emptied bottle skips throughout the evening and after closing time which literally woke everyone up on each occasion (if you actually fell to sleep) My bedroom happened to be the double room on the second floor which I shared with my wife and 11 month old baby. This room contains the properties boiler cylinder in a cupboard which ramped the rooms temperature up to an unbelievable level. With both windows open, door open and fan on all day and night the evening temperature never dropped below 26?. Water pipes that throughout the evening and day made a very loud high pitched scream every so often, even when water wasn't being run (which I don't understand) There were many small things that caused annoyance, such as... A digital iron and digital washing machine that even the youth struggled to use, so impossible for my parents. Mugs that can't be carried due to tiny handle. Tin camping type mugs that are very awkward to drink from. A fridge that doesn't close if you put milk in the door. It also has a condensation problem which means the fridge contents is soaked. No broom or mop and bucket. Lack of towels in each room. One huge annoyance was no list of household contents. We took an iron, a travel cot, a high chair etc to find these things already there meaning the car didn't need to be as rammed as it was. It's a beautiful property and stunning views but if you want to sleep for more than an hour before being woke up by drunk fools, bottle bins, fighting, water pipes, or the tropical humid 30? heat then look elsewhere because after the first night we wanted to go home.
