    Nothing at all - it was lovely We cannot fault anything at all

    We loved the extra details and little home comfort touches that the family have put into this lovely property. It was great to have refreshments and breakfast available on arrival. The story behind this beautiful holiday home outlined in the 'Welcome Folder' is very special. Our pups loved it too!

    Everything! So calm and peaceful, amazing location, best hosts and so well looked after the whole trip xxx Thank you so much! We also read the welcome book and learnt about the story of how Joanne’s retreat came about and it meant so much to us. As a family you are all wonderful and we are certain you are making her proud everyday. What a beautiful way to honour a beautiful lady xxxxx

    There was absolutely nothing that we didn’t like .

    Wow we just loved Joanne’s retreat the accommodation was outstanding ,spotlessly clean there was lovely little touches that the hosts had put in place, which made you feel right at home from the moment that you walked in. This is a perfect place to stay in Weymouth . The apartment had a lovely warm calm relaxing atmosphere about it. The enclosed garden was perfect for our two small dogs. Jean and Barry from upstairs were wonderful kind people so very friendly. We will definitely be going back again. I highly recommend Joannes Retreat if you are looking for a perfect break in Weymouth . A very big thank you to the Hosts and to Jean and Barry from Des and Angela

    Every little detail has been covered in this lovely home. I am someone who packs everything but the kitchen sink, but I didn't need to. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend Joannes Retreat to anyone looking for a relaxing break.

    Would be better to advise that parking space is fairly short. If we had brought our bigger vehicle no one else would have been able to access the drive.

    Private garden and well set up with facilities

    The apt is just beautiful and very comfortable. The host has certainly gone the extra mile in adding extra touches to make your stay special. It is on a main road but we did not hear any traffic and the bedrooms and dining area is at the back which is very quiet. The back garden is gorgeous and very peaceful. The bed was so comfortable! The care takers are a lovely couple who go out of their way to ensure your stay is a good one. A lot of love has gone into making this property a home away from home. I felt it cared for staying here. There is also a gorgeous pub in a very pretty location a 10 minute walk away And the walk is nice too!

    Excellent location, and the apartment was a home away from home, very clean and cosy. The milk and the biscuits were very much appreciated, especially after a very long journey, and all I wanted was a cup of tea! Will definitely be recommending Joanne's Retreat to friends and family, and we will definitely be booking again.

    We didn't like that there are no privacy window dressing other than the curtains, which you dont want to close during the day. The property is overlooked and the residents upstairs, although very nice, do walk closely past the window back and forth to their own property. Although they didn't look in, it felt intrusive and we couldn't just hang out without being conscious of it. Some privacy blinds or voiles is all that is needed and wouldn't ruin the looks at all.

    The property was comfortable with lots of nice touches. The decor is tasteful and stylish. The bedding was lovely quality and the towels were gorgeous! The courtyard garden was a lovely suntrap and really very well maintained. All in all a lovely place and we would stay again.

Great location, next to a really nice pub and fish and chip shop, really close to Weymouth and a short drive away from Durdle Door. Owners very friendly and accommodating, would definitely recommend staying here!

    No complaints at all.

    The location was fine, about a 10 minute drive to the town centre with 2 parking spaces. The apartment had the wow factor, in fact it felt like home from home. The apartment was spotless and everything you would need for a comfortable stay was here. Georgina left us mince pies, chocolate, fresh ground coffee and even dog treats and had made the apartment Christmassy so we had a warm welcome on our arrival. We brought Pepe our Hearing Dog for the Deaf and he too soon felt at home. The small enclosed garden was perfect for him and we could imagine it being a suntrap in the summer. It was nicely kept and laid out with table and chairs as well. The kitchen was really well equipped and spacious - everything had been thought of. The apartment was a fantastic find for us.
