Sunset View

We had a lovely week here, and enjoyed exploring Portland - we'd recommend the castle, sculpture park, Portland Bill, Wild Chesil Centre (incl boat trip on the lagoon).

We'd also recommend walking round the island (about 11 miles), which can be started near the property if you don't mind the hill! While everything was as described, we felt that it missed some of the small details that would have been more welcoming for the significant price we paid, eg a pint of milk rather than small long life cartons, or more than a couple of toilet rolls - like other properties that we have stayed in. The view was fantastic, particularly towards the marina and the castle, as well as the sunsets over Chesil Beach. While we found it interesting to watch the Mon-Fri activity of the nearby heliport, other guests may find the sound disturbing.

Absolutely beautiful apartment.

Very well equipped,clean and comfortable. Excellent marina views.

We really enjoyed our stay.

The apartment itself was well laid out, and the fittings were top class. The view from the balcony was always interesting. The helicopters were fascinating. We didn't expect to get afternoon sun so that was a bonus. We travelled West as far as Lyme Regis, East to Corfe Castle and Lulworth Cove, and South to Portland Bill, so we found plenty to do. We weren't sure whether the crockery was microwave safe, so using the microwave was awkward, but we didn't use it much. We arrived when it was dark, and that made it hard to find our way to the apartment and the parking place. It was easier once we had daylight the next day. Perhaps the instructions could be a bit clearer.

the outside of the property let's it down ,the apartment was great ,nice views , comfortable, couldn't really fault it , would go back again

Great apartment, with lovely views of the Marina and some amazing sunsets.

Apartment was clean and well equipped. Only downs side was dishwasher stopped working and we could not get through on the telephone numbers provided. One caution, be mind-full where you sit on the balcony, there can be a down pour when the neighbours above water their pot plants. 2 minute walk to a quite beach, suitable for swimming and snorkelling, so clear and clear you can see fish. Walking distance to the local Lidle for groceries and would recommend the Beehive coffee shop. Bus stops are close by for Portland Bill and Weymouth. Very please with property and location and would definitely return.

We loved the apartment and were very comfortable.

The building itself needs maintenance and the grounds are not well maintained. We were unable to erect the cot and the highchair straps are disgusting so we didn't end up using either.

We had a wonderful holiday at Sunset View.

It was spotlessly clean and very well appointed. We never waited more than a few seconds for the lifts! The apartment also had a washer/dryer, which I think was not listed, although we did not need it. It proved an excellent base for the many local attractions and places to visit.

The property was amazing and we loved it.

But the hot water & radiators was a real problem for our first 24 hours. Which spoilt the experience. Plus the microwave did not work. We were offered a replacement Saturday afternoon but we had no laptops with us and did not get this until arriving home.. this was our first booking a self catering property and think it would make us a little unsure to try again. We are regular visitors throughout the year as our grandson sails from the Academy. Which is very close walking distant of the property. Plus the views were amazing so a little disappointed.

We had a very enjoyable stay at Sunset View.

We spent alot of time watching the activities around the marina and heliport, and awesome displays of kite, wind and wing boarding at the nearby watersports centre. Unusually there was no contact with the owners, however we must say that the apartment itself is very clean, comfortable and welcoming, which certainly helped us achieve a relaxing break re-charging our batteries

Very clean apartment, fitted out very well.

Extremely comfortable, great location and amazing views

Lovely well kept apartment, clean and comfortable.

Excellent position for the most wonderful views. Only negative is the external building is very very tired. Not owners fault but on approaching the block we were filled with dread. Luckily inside is beautiful and well maintained. Would definitely revisit.

On arrival, the rented property was filthy; stains everywhere, dirty surfaces and disgusting carpet and bathrooms (you couldn't walk anywhere barefoot).

The apartment also had a sweaty odour. The communal areas were also filthy and smelly. The second issue was that the ensuite toilet did not flush properly. The third issue was that I was being bitten in the night (and at no other time so it was something in the bed). I wasted more than half of my holiday waiting for cleaners, maintenance and pest people and none of the issues were fully resolved. The Sykes call handlers had zero empathy or willingness to help. When you spend £1000, you expect better than this. In fact, I considered moving after the first day and saw much nicer properties on Airbnb for the same money. My holiday has been ruined and I would like compensation.

The apartment itself is very nice, lovely towels and bedding provided.

Nice shower. The baking trays need to be replaced and there is no can opener. The apartment block is unwelcoming on the outside and the planters on the balcony are just full of weeds!? Just remove, or make nice! The location is great and the view is stunning. We left a day earlier as felt under pressure to be out before 10.00am. Location is very good. D Day museum locally, is the best!

Wonderful apartment, fantastic views.

I think that you should allow a second car on premises because we had 2 cars my brother and his wife from Hereford, and me and my wife from plymouth so we both come different ways, and I had to park my car in a safe place 3 miles away, even if I had to pay extra.

Well appointed luxury flat.

My only issue was position of the TV as you could hardly see it at night due to the very bright sunset.Other windows had black out curtains but this relevant window had a light coloured blind.Small price to pay for Sunset View.

Great apartment…….

pity the whole block is looking tired and uncared for.

A lot of externally generated noise.

The apartment is opposite a heli-port! Also when cruise ships are in port the noise of double decker buses going past the apartment every 10-15 mins is, at times, unbearable. This apartment would not be suitable for people who are noise sensitive. The windows are filthy and due to the dirt on the balcony and the noise, you cannot sit outside. Also, on arrival we did not realise that the barrier fob is also for the apartment block - this needs to be made clear on the key collection information.

We really enjoyed our stay - it was a great apartment, comfortable beds and everything we needed was supplied.

My granddaughter was doing a week long course at the Sailing Academy and this was an ideal location with wonderful views - shame about the weather as the views would have been even better but it was February! It was good to be able to use the pool and all the staff I had communication with were really helpful and friendly. Many thanks !
