We were thrilled with this apartment! It was super clean and had all the amenities and the space that we needed for our week long stay. The host was amazing and had checked in on us to make sure all was good. Parking was easy as we had a larger van and could easily park down the street with ample space. We would most definitely come back to rent this property.....Thank you!

A perfect apartment for a getaway, either just a few days, or a longer stay would also be very comfortable here. It has everything you need. Only thing I would change would be to add black out curtains in the bedroom to help with those relaxing holiday lay-ins (I'm used to a particularly dark bedroom).Communication was a delight. I would very happily stay here again, in fact, I'm fairly sure we will .

Thanks Helen for an amazing stay! The property has a great location, so clean and has all the utilities you could want! There is a bit of noise from the road but it quietens down around bed time so not a problem and the bed is extremely comfortable!! Helen was so quick to answer any questions we had through out the stay! Really recommend and will be booking again if we ever journey down to Dorset!

Apartment was lovely and had everything we needed for a great stay. A bonus was we were able to park next to the apartment building as the shop on the ground floor was empty so we could use the shop’s parking spaces. The road can be very noisy in the evening and early morning but it was a good spot to explore Portland and Weymouth. Thank you Helen for a lovely stay.

Thank you for your stay Kathryn! Glad it suited the sailors’ wishes :-) Yes we are having secondary glazing fitted to the listed windows to make the stay even quieter! A central location near the beach is also near the road so can be noisy at very busy times. Thank you for your feedback, I hope you’ll be back! Kind wishes Helen

Lovely modern and clean apartment

The apartment was very clean and modern. It was great there is a washing machine which helped immensely. The beds are very comfortable. The only downside is unloading the car as you can’t park right outside but other than that it’s perfect. I would recommend. Thanks Helen for a great stay.

Many thanks for your lovely review Michelle- much appreciated! i am so pleased you had a good stay and found the apartment clearance, modern and comfortable :-) You can pull up in the shop downstairs car park to unload and then move to the street parking outside. Sorry if that was a nuisance! I hope you come to stay again! Regards, Helen x

Few issues.

The apartment was lovely, very clean and modern. But we had a few issues that we really didn't expect. But the host really did her best to sort things out for us.

Hi Carol Thanks for your stay! I’m so pleased you enjoyed your stay at the apartment. It was a shame you weren’t able to work out how to use the induction hob. I had offered for my electrician to show you how but you declined. He checked it anyway after you left and yes, you were right! It was working perfectly it was just that you weren’t used to touch controlled hobs. Also the window in the bathroom that you didn’t close and the rain was coming in, using the beach towels was one remedy although it pushed closed easily after you left. You wanted your privacy while staying so no one came in to help you and I was most happy to respect this for your stay. I have given you 5 stars for your stay despite incurring an electricians visit to confirm the hob was working perfectly and extra laundry costs as you used towels to block up the top of the window instead of giving it a push closed! The apartment can be warm so the bathroom sash window may be left slightly open at times at the top to nicely ventilate. May I suggest you and your husband consider accepting help in the future if you aren’t able to close windows or use new equipment? We had a friendly interaction - it is of utmost importance to me that guests have the best stay possible. Dare I say it was disappointing that you have rated your stay only 3 stars when I wasn’t responsible for the rain or weak arms or being unable to use an induction hob /accept help. You reported that you loved the apartment.

Die Gegend war sehr schön, die Unterkunft liegt direkt an der Hauptstraße, deswegen war es ab und an lauter. Das größte Problem war, dass man die Fenster nur wenig öffnen kann, dadurch hat man auch abends und nachts keine kühlere Luft herein bekommen. Ansonsten ist es eine sehr schöne Ferienwohnung. Wir haben dort zu viert geschlafen, zu zweit ist sie vermutlich optimal.

About the host

Hosted by Helen

Host profile image
I love being a host! Helping you to enjoy your stay on Portland is so important to me. I love the area and am happy when others do too. We love to stay as much as possible.

Why they chose this property

The beach - although rocky! - is so clean with super clean water and so quiet! We love it sit at Quiddles and watch the sunsets. We have dogs and they are so welcome in the area inc the beach. It’s a fab place for walking and so close to the Sailing Academy and other water sports. Portland is a perfect place to explore S Dorset.

What makes this property unique

The apartment is fresh and although one bed is spacious with huge windows. There’s a bus stop outside that takes you to Portland Bill, the lighthouse at the other end of the small island in one direction and sandy, lovely Weymouth which is award winning and has great restaurants in the other. There is also the tour open top bus that does the same route and continues along the Dorset coast - wonderful!
