"Bears apartment is a beautiful 4th floor well presented place with everything provided to make it a home from home feel and a balcony/apartment view with a WOW factor."
The balcony goes all the way from the kitchen to the second bedroom with door access from the kitchen, living room, and both bedrooms, this apartment is a perfect stay for a family of four or two couples, but keep in mind there is only one key/fob which is needed for access to the apartment block and apartment. Parking is included with a dedicated space for the apartment The location is in Castletown alongside the old naval Portland port which is still in use with commercial shipping, cruise liners and the portland cement so this does bring noise from the lorries coming in and out at all hours day and night, there is also opposite a helipad, that is now a SaR training centre, we had the absolute joy of being able to watch the chinook being put through its manoeuvres along with another SaR helicopter this one did do night missions at 1am so if you are a light sleeper keep all this in mind. Regarding the lifts there are two of them, it would be extremely unlucky for the two to be out for maintenance at the same time, we had no issues with them. All in all we had a wonderful time and Bears apartment is in a perfect spot for visiting along the Dorset coast, would definately recommend.
Thank you for your feedback- it is great to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We love all the activity to watch from the balcony too. Matthew and Daphne Property Owner
