Upon entering the apartment, you will be greeted by two inviting double bedrooms, each boasting ample storage for your belongings, as well as private access to the balcony which runs through the length of the property, where you can enjoy stunning views of the marina and coastline.
One of the rooms has the added benefit of an en-suite, equipped with a walk-in shower, basin, and WC for added convenience.
The property also features a well-appointed bathroom, complete with a bath, overhead shower, basin, heated towel rail, and WC, providing a tranquil space to unwind and refresh after a day of exploration.

For added flexibility, the seating can be converted into a sofa bed if required.
An armchair is also available for those who prefer a more secluded spot to read or relax.
The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to prepare delightful meals, or unbox a local takeaway, which can be enjoyed at the dining table while planning the next day's adventures.
Savour every moment of your coastal getaway with ventures to the nearby Open Battery of Nothe Fort, rich with War Time tunnels and exhibits, and the century-old Portland Castle flanked by verdant gardens and overlooking the Jurassic Coastline.

Unwind with an afternoon stroll along the picturesque Chesil Beach, a tranquil pebble barrier beach with crystal clear azure waters running alongside.

What guests are saying
Great apartment, nice views.
Unfortunately, very busy road with lorries all day 8 - 6. right under the apartment. Heliport right opposite, which on times was so noisy the doors had to stay shut, especially Monday to Friday. Went for a quiet relaxing stay as my partner has a serious illness, unfortunately this was not the case. If you're wanting a base to travel about in the daytime and a restful evening, I would recommend it.
On arrival for our 4 week stay, we discovered there was broken glass on the floor in the kitchen and lounge area.
The television did not work and the door on the washing machine would ot close, the shower in the ensuite drain was blocked. I reported this to management the plumber arrived 2 days later and the electrician and fixed the washing machine door, the television n was replaced also. However two weeks later a cleaner turned up and serviced the flat. I assumed the sheets and towels would have been replaced every few days however we then waited for another ten days for another clean, that only happened after I made several phone calls and e mails. I was then told there was only one key to the apartment so the cleaners couldn't get in , however we were not there when they replaced the TV. I would also like to say that the apartment was a beautiful well appointed facility so it was disappointing that the maintenence and cleaning was not carried out before we arrived . Two services in a month and only when I kept following up this matter was not sufficient..
Beautiful apartment well equipped spotlessly clean.
Lovely sunsets to see from the balcony.
