“Lovely apartment, great views of The Bill, we walked there along the coastal path a couple of times.”

Very comfortable and well equipped, good location.

“Lovely apartment, probably the best kitted out kitchen we have ever had in a holiday home.”

Bed was really comfortable. Fantastic access to the coastal path. Only thing that could improve this place would be the bathrooms, although perfectly adequate the showers aren’t the best and the size of the one bathroom would benefit from a bath. Would recommend a stay!

“For your view only is a unique property in an extraordinary location.”

The property was very comfortable, especially the large beds, and the views of the sea were fantastic on the days it didn't rain! We booked last minute as our original had fallen through due to Covid restrictions and we definitely weren't disappointed. With a bit more effort, this property could be even better. In places (eg the bathrooms and paintwork) the finish could have been a bit higher quality and there seemed to be some random bits of wood stored under the beds and sofa! There is also a hot tub at the property and it would be great if guests could use it.

“The outside of the building and surrounding factory units are not very attractive.”

The apartment itself is very well furnished and crockery and utensils in kitchen are everything you would need. Very comfortable beds and all in all a lovely flat. The downside is, although there is a massive TV in lounge it is worked by a small inside aerial on the windowsill. We were unable to watch any live TV as the picture was consistently broken up, even on catch up. We were basically confined to watching You Tube. We were three elderly friends holidaying together and due to Covid were not intending to be going out at night into pubs, so we were relying on evenings in watching TV. It was also as well as were not out after dark as it was pitch black outside apartment until factory outside light came on around 10pm and went off again around midnight. Other than these two points it was an enjoyable stay with a nice big balcony with a view of the sea and Portland lighthouse. If the weather had been hot it would have been useful to have a sunshade out there.

“Slightly misleading photo.”

Showed property having 2 balconies when one is at flat next door. Apartment lovely, views amazing. Location (on edge of a very quiet industrial estate) is a liutle alarming on arrival but you soon forget. The view and tranquilty outweigh that. We had no noise at all. Highly recommend

“Only just got back of holiday after spending my second one with yourselves with in a year and I’m disappointed to say I wasn’t quite please with the cleanliness of the place, to say there is a pandemic going on and you have extended your arrival time to allow for an extra deep clean to go ahead the place wasn’t at all clean on arrival.”

The dust in the place was unbelievable cobwebs under the cooker hood, thick layer of dust on top of fridge and on the table. In my room you could tell the hoover hadn’t been used as sweet wrappers was still on the floor along with hair, and for the main bathroom I was appalled, the tap had limescale and hand prints over it, the plug in the shower looked liked it haven’t been cleaned since I visited last October(2019) with hair and mould down the plug hole and for the floor there was still hair from the previous occupants which was just built up around the sink and shower area again. For my brothers room oh my god, I think you need to get a window fitter in and quickly, the widow has dropped that much you could see day light round the seal, when the blind was dropped on an evening and the wind was mega rough this week the blind was lifting from the draft and also towels was used to block the bottom on the window where there are gaps/holes where the wind was also getting through, the room was like an ice block every night. Yes after going and making a complaint about the cleanliness of the place cleaners came back the next day but it didn’t look like they did anything apart from push a hoover round. And when we was told the area manager would be getting in touch the following day after making another complaint no one got in touch, which we are pretty disappointed about.

“Ensure the address is right & directions clear!”

There is Flat nine in Martime house but completely different from Flat in Espionage place! The flat we booked is the Espionage place! It took us ages to find it through the help of people around there! Dream cottage took ages to answer the phone! Apart from that the flat is very well furnished & beautifully located & comfortable!

“Ms”

Super large apartment with high ceilings with 180 degree sea views to die for. Large balcony all decked out with hot tub over looking the sea and stunning sunsets. Apartment itself was huge with fully stocked kitchen and modern stylish decor. Master bedroom has a super king bed and we had such a great sleep. The coastal path is accessed through a gate 30 seconds from apartment. History of the apartment is cool too being bomb proof from the inside as they used to test torpedoes and a famous spy ring was tan out of here during world war 2...

The property

For Your View Only boasts captivating views across Portland Bill Lighthouse and out to sea, creating the perfect base for a coastal getaway with loved ones.

Hidden away within a building that was constructed around 1949 which played host to the British Admiralty who carried out research here.

The Soviet Union took an interest within the work and their spy’s were supplied information by civil servants who worked there.

They were ultimately discovered as part of the Portland Spy ring in 1961.

Now, you will find a contemporary-style accommodation, housing everything you could possibly need during a week-long break with all of your family.

Here, you will be delighted by the flexible sleeping arrangement that awaits you, with a super-king-size bed with en-suite shower, a double and a twin, ensuring that all groups are catered to.

Spend your wind down time within the open-plan living room, where the designated chef of the group will delight in rustling up home-cooked meals within the well-equipped kitchen before gathering around the dining table to enjoy a sociable evening.

After dinner, sink into the plush sofa and tune into the TV or throw open the patio doors to spend a moment or two on the balcony area.

Portland Bill and the Isle of Portland is a truly unique location with much to offer, including beautiful coastal walks, hidden beaches, pirate history, modern day Olympic legacies and much much more!

Be sure to view the Jurassic Coast from the Olympic rings at Portland Heights, where on a clear day you can see as far along the coast as Lyme Regis and Exmouth.

Weymouth with its traditional Georgian seafront, soft golden sandy beach and shallow water is just 9 miles away.

For Your View Only is ideal for families or a group of friends to come and enjoy all that Portland and the Dorset Jurassic coastline has to offer.

About the location

PORTLAND BILL

Easton 3 miles; Fortuneswell 4 miles; Weymouth 9 miles.

Portland Bill is a narrow promontory on the end of the rugged Isle of Portland peninsula which is joined to the mainland via Chesil Beach, a pebble spit, which stretches 18 miles towards West Bay. Situated on Dorset's spectacular Jurassic Coast, now a World Heritage Site, Portland Bill is home to three lighthouses, the most recent built in 1906 being the 35 meter tall, white and red striped Portland Bill Lighthouse. Portland Bill is home to a pub and a restaurant/café as well as the Portland Bird Observatory. Formerly a quarrying area, the stunning coastal scenery and footpaths provide excellent walking and the surrounding countryside is well known as a birdwatcher’s paradise! The local communities of Fortuneswell and Easton boast a good variety of shops, pubs and restaurants. With great climbing opportunities and an array of watersports activities on offer locally, plus the wonderful sandy beaches and the pretty harbour at Weymouth just 9 miles away, this super holiday destination is not to be missed!
