    We did not realise how far from Weymouth it was. Still plenty to do and nice places to eat.

    Accommodation was lovely. Overlooking the harbour. A really good place over the road serving a good breakfast. Lots of local history.

    The balcony glass was stained with sea gull mess. We know this is a natural occurrence being close to the sea, but we felt that this and the balcony itself should have been cleaned before we arrived.

    Clean, comfortable and a great view over the marina.

    The only negative point to make would be the curtains by the sliding doors were too long, but that’s being really picky.

    Modern, spacious and up to date. I found it really good that there was everything that we needed. Body wash in the shower, towels, handwash and face cloths. Also the kitchen had everything you would need.

    The accommodation was clean. Beds were comfortable and kitchen had all the equipment and utensils to make for an enjoyable holiday. Wifi connection was strong and able to access Netflex on TV.

    The smart meter and notice about electricity use was a bit confusing as I think the smart meter was broken- but the lights stayed on so all was well!

    The location was perfect to just decompress and unwind. In nice weather then the balcony is gorgeous….& in not so nice weather, the super comfy reclining chair in the living room, blanket over the knees and a book- with that view ahead when you glance up. Wish we’d had another day!

    It was very windy when I stayed, and it was a little bit noisy - perhaps the rooms aren't very well sound-proofed - but this is only a tiny inconvenience!

    My second time staying at Crabbers Wharf, and on both occasions it has been fantastic. I use the property as a base whilst competing in an ultra running event. The location is really convenient, the apartments are clean, really well equipped, and access/parking is very easy! This time was a little bit more expensive than last time I stayed, but still well worth the money! I hope to stay again!

    Apart from not being able to turn the central heating up more than 23° and no cork screw or cooker instructions. Apart from that everything was spot on.

    Everything, great location, great view across the Wharf and was able to watch the Helicopters taking off and landing, had a balcony with table and chairs, so on a summer's evening this would be really nice, we couldn't as it was end Feb and wet and windy. Very comfy sofa with soft cushions, which goes a long way when watching TV. Reserved parking for the Apartment was great.

    Having travelled straight from a week working elsewhere I was hoping to use the washier/dryer facilities but these were not accessible, and there was jo staff on hand without a phone call.

    Stunning location and view, quiet, comfortable and clean with parking on-site. Although out of season it was close to shops and local attractions. Visited the D-Day Centre that was brilliant and inexpensive for what was several hours of interesting stories and items.

    The only thing that was tricky was finding the laundry, but we called the team and they were super helpful.

    Loved the location and it was a brilliant base to explore the island from. The space was amazing and each bedroom having an en-suite bathroom was a bonus. It was also very clean, which was great.

    The chains/bells around the docks that then clang throughout the night when it is windy etc. so while it is a dockyard area….the bells were really loud.

    The location, ease of finding it and getting to it. The unique look they it is in the shape of an actual ship. The balcony. And the whole nautical vibes :)
