“Lovely apartment larger than expected.”

Well equipped. Only one slight problem was the shower controls which were very difficult to operate very stiff valves having recently had operation on wrist was unable to turn shower on and off my partner also found it difficult. The location was fantastic looks to do in area.

“My wife and I had a very enjoyable week at Officers Retreat in this much developed, historic and up and coming area of Dorset, the only improvement I think that could be made is to have a dedicated parking space with a number on the wall opposite the property, (as some already have) to end any confusion.”
Mrs Williamson July 2019

“We had a brilliant week in 32 Officers Field.”

We loved everything about it , the position, the layout, the facilities, the artwork and decoration. It was ideal for us with our dog as there are lovely walks around. 10 minute walk to Chesil cove, in one direction and 10 minute walk to Portland Harbour in the other direction. Would recommend, and hope to return. Just one issue which could probably be easily remedied, we found it very difficult to turn the shower control on------ I couldn't do it , and it took my husband using all his strength to turn it on ! Once on it is a great , powerful shower !

“Very short on basics 1 toilet roll for a week!”

lacking in personal touches and few cleaning materials.suggest fan for bedroom as it gets very hot as windows dont open much and you couldnt leave balcony door open.
Mrs Dean June 2019

“The house was exactly as described - very spacious, clean, light & airy.”

It was well equipped and well located. Entry instructions were clear and there was a comprehensive information pack in the property. Absolutely perfect for a short break. The weather was also perfect for our time there but we can't give you the credit for that!
Mrs Cross May 2019

“Great little property, comfortable, nicely furnished and had everything I needed during my stay.”

a great base for walking on Portland. wish I'd booked a longer stay. worth noting for those staying with their dogs is the enclosed field on the perimeter of this development a few hundred yards from the property.
Ms Merkur May 2019

“I was actually in the area for work.”

The location was excellent, and facilities excellent - had everything I needed to be comfortable and do my job. Thank you! One little comment: the shower tap was a little hard to turn on and off and the water temp could have been a little hotter - it felt capped at slightly too low of a temperature.
Mr Evans April 2019

“Car parking was very hit and miss.”

Steep stairs, so not suitable for someone with mobility problems Otherwise, a nice place for a break

The lounge itself has a large sofa, perfect for curling up with your loved one to enjoy a relaxing evening together in front of the TV.

The large kitchen has a set of wooden units and sleek granite worktops, with plenty of space for preparing a romantic meal.

Along the hall is one king-size bedroom with plenty of furniture to house your personal items and even lovely matching bedside tables with lamps for some late night reading.
