Dorset Holiday Apartments & Flats to rent in Bournemouth

Weymouth Apartments and Flats - Facilities

Facilities and amenities in Weymouth apartments, and apartments and flats across Dorset, vary so before booking you should think carefully about what is important to you. If you are planning a holiday with children, think about the arrangement of bedrooms, and whether facilities for babies such as cots or high chairs are provided. If you are bringing pets, you will need to find a pet friendly flat or apartment with access to outside, as you will need space to exercise your dog. Think about whether smoking is allowed in the flat or apartments, or whether you would prefer to stay in smoke free accommodation.

You should also think carefully about the area of Dorset that the property is in, rather than relying on pretty interior photos. Is the apartment in an isolated location, or is there easy access to shops, pubs, restaurants and the beach? For wheelchair users, several disabled accessible holiday flats and apartments are available in Dorset. If you are a business traveller choosing a self catering option, you might want to look for an apartment with a work desk and internet access.

Luxury holiday apartments and flats in Dorset will usually have extra facilities compared to cheap basic accommodation. If you are planning a romantic break, or want to celebrate a special occasion, you may want to look for luxury self catering accommodation with a private Jacuzzi or a penthouse apartment with a panoramic view of the Jurassic coast or the Isle of Purbeck. Some luxury flats and apartments have facilities such as TVs, DVD players and CD players, but if these make the accommodation expensive, think about whether you really want to be watching TV on holiday, as you might be too busy enjoying the many tourist attractions in Dorset.

Dorset Accommodation Star Rating

Holiday flats and serviced apartments in Somerset and in Dorset are assessed for quality by Visit Britain and awarded a grading of between 1 star and 5 stars. All self catering accommodation awarded a star rating has to meet minimum standards and must give clear information before booking about all aspects of the accommodation including location, facilities, prices, deposits and policies on smoking, children and cancellations. The star rating can be used as a guide to the quality of the accommodation and its facilities.

Two star flats and apartments are well presented and well run and all beds must be full size.

Three star Dorset holiday flats and apartments have a good level of quality and comfort, and bed linen will be provided (although there may be an extra charge for this).
