Guests that stayed at this property said
The property generally receives high marks for cleanliness, with guests finding it tidy and well-maintained. However, a few guests mentioned issues such as a smell when vacuuming, dirty bathroom corners, and cobwebs, slightly affecting the overall perception.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to Weymouth harbour, coastal walks, and quiet setting. The convenience of the location is a recurring positive theme, although accessibility on foot may be challenging for some due to the uphill approach.
Guests find the apartment spacious and generally comfortable, with a warm and cosy atmosphere. However, there are comments about the need for better quality mattresses and sofas, which suggest room for improvement in this area.
Facilities are modern and to a high standard, with smart TVs and well-equipped kitchens. Nonetheless, guests have pointed out issues such as temperamental loo flush, lack of all-weather patio chairs, and outdated TV equipment, indicating some areas require attention.
There is insufficient information regarding any thoughtful gestures or gifts provided by the property owners, as no reviews specifically mention such details. Therefore, it is not possible to assess this category.

Very conveniently situated, just a short walk from the harbourside, town and some nice walks. It also comes with the all important parking space, very necessary as Weymouth parking charges are astronomical!

Although the dishwasher did break, it was remedied straightaway which is great customer service. Admirals Retreat well soundproofed, we couldn't hear any of the neighbours. It's extremely comfortable, perfect for a quiet holiday.

Only drawback was the access to town was via a very steep hill which was not stated. We are approaching 80 years with the wife suffering from arthritis. Other than that a very enjoyable stay.
