harbour and golden beach, making it a favourite among families. Wessex View, an award-winning apartment listed on Sykes Holiday Cottages, is a popular choice for those seeking

family-friendly accommodation. It was the gold winner of 'Best for Beaches' in the Sykes Gems 2023 Awards. The well-reviewed property has received lots of praise for its

"perfect location" and "fantastic sea views." While it boasts "a prime position on the esplanade", guests have reported it's "a very busy road,"

prompting some reviewers to comment on "traffic noise." There are lots of alternative holiday homes, including Lavender House Weymouth, a five-bedroom house found on Booking.com.

Other options include The Yellow One, an apartment that accommodates two guests, found on holidaycottages.co.uk, and Outlook Lodge, which sleeps four guests, found on Dream Cottages. Wessex

View can host up to four guests and provides off-road parking for one vehicle. However, the property does not permit pets, reports the Mirror. The listing states: "Experience stunning

sea views from this beautifully presented ground-floor apartment, Wessex View, located in the popular seaside resort of Weymouth in Dorset. It enjoys a prime position on the esplanade, just

a few moments from the golden, sandy beach. "The accommodation lies all on one level, aside from some steps leading down into the twin bedroom, and is suited best to a family of four or

perhaps a couples break." Unfortunately, there's only limited availability for this summer, but you could book four nights from May 31 for £630, three nights from September 6 for

£636, or seven nights from September 27 for £630. Guests praised the apartment's views; however, not all visitors were entirely satisfied. One pleased guest wrote: "Beautiful flat.

Enjoyed watching the sunrise every morning from the big windows with an uninterrupted view of the sea. Beds were also comfortable. Plenty of toys and board games available to keep the kids

happy." Another praised: "Absolutely lovely apartment. It was so thoughtfully furnished and such a breath of fresh air to have so many items that are suitable for families. Perfect

location for the beach and for looking out to sea over a morning coffee. Totally gorgeous." Meanwhile, someone else noted: "We had a lovely week. The flat was very clean and had

everything we needed and plenty of space for the two of us. The seaview is a big plus. "The only disappointments were that it stands on a very busy road, though maybe we shouldn't

have been surprised, given its location, and that we couldn't get wifi in the twin bedroom, neither of which would stop us staying again as we loved being so close to the sea for our

morning dips." A different reviewer with mixed feedback said: "Excellent location, just across the road from the beach and short walk to the town/harbour. So many beautiful walking

routes close by. The view of the sea from the lounge was amazing. "The apartment was comfortable with good facilities. Off road car parking was definitely a bonus. The only negative

for us was the lack of windows in the bedrooms, having said that, this would not prevent us from booking here again as the positives far out way this negative." A different guest said:

"Superb property, exactly as listed and in a perfect location on esplanade with beach and all amenities on doorstep. Very practical layout and star attraction being front room with huge

windows overlooking sea. Had a perfect stay and one of our family’s favourite UK breaks ever. Article continues below "If there’s an observation, it’s the double bedroom - a little on

the small side with minimal storage and a seemingly worn and uncomfortable mattress. Nothing some shelving in wardrobe and a new mattress wouldn’t resolve. Overall, an amazing property for

our holiday." A similar response added: "Wessex View is a beautiful property with period features and an amazing view. The road is busy and obviously there was traffic noise but we

expected this. There was everything we could need in the flat & it's just a short walk into town. The only issue for us was the mattress which wasn't the most comfortable if

you have back problems."
