"This was our first experience of a holiday staying in an apartment, and it was accommodation we would not hesitate to repeat."
The layout and space of the apartment was ideal, especially for two of us (a bathroom each!), and the views were to die for. We wanted for nothing. Only one quibble. No anti-slip mat for the bath ... very slippery when showering and I fell out onto the hard floor, resulting in a huge bump on my head and multiple bruises, not to mention loss of dignity!!! However, otherwise absolutely no complaints. Oh, and the lift worked perfectly.
Thank you for your feedback. Will get slip mat asap. Glad you enjoyed your time and the views. Daphne Property Owner

"Lovely property, perfect location for us and beautiful views over the sea."
Well equipped kitchen loved it and will be back. Only slight gripe is with the leisure facilities being closed sometimes and none of the mobile numbers listed as maintenance to check timings of closures being answered or numbers not in use but not the apartments fault.
Thank you for your kind feedback. Will check numbers for facilities tomorrow as we are here. Matthew and Daphne There is now a pamphlet in the flat covering the pool etc. Property Owner

"A very well appointed apartment and nicely finished."
Excellent views from the large balcony. It is a pleasant surprise to find good quality crockery and cutlery which does not send when you try to use it. Comfortable bed is also appreciated. The apartment is great if you are happy to prepare your own meals. Eating out locally is rather limited
Thank you for your feedback and pleased you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

"A lovely, clean, well maintained and welcoming apartment with the most stunning views (I spent hours just sitting out on the balcony looking out at the view)."
Four adults in our party and we didn't have transport ....prior to arriving I wasn't sure how we were going to cope but once we were there we had no problems whatsoever. We took full advantage of a weekly group save ticket of £55 (for up to 5 people) and we travelled the whole of the Dorset coast . We had a brilliant holiday. Portland itself is steeped in history and the views are spectacular. The welcome pack we found on arrival had loads of info on the surrounding area. What can I say more except it's a lovely lovely apartment. The group consisted of four very tired and stressed older nurses in need of some respite after Avery hectic few years...we came away so relaxed ..so it's back to the wards we go. Thankyou Daphne and Matthew and dream Cottages for the best holiday
So glad you enjoyed your holiday. What a good tip about the bus. Thank you for your feedback. Property Owner

"The corridors could do with a refresh, carpets and painting."
More importantly though is the fact that the directions don't appear to be correct. Fortunately I had looked at Google Earth before I set off.
Will check with Dream Cottages ref directions. Unfortunately the decor in the corridors is down to Comer Property. Thank you for your feedback. Property Owner

"The apartment was ideal for us very spacious, clean and well equipped with everything we needed."
The weather was perfect . On arrival the en suite bathroom toilet was not working and were informed would be fixed but on leaving after a week was still not fixed ! We were given £100 to compensate but found it inconvenient to have to use buckets of water for a week to flush the loo.
So glad you enjoyed your stay. I will chase the repair of the toilet as I was told it was being done. Daphne I am pleased to say this has now been fixed. Daphne Property Owner

"The apartment is in an amazing location, not too far into Portland, so very easy access to Weymouth as well as the whole Isle of Portland."
The view from the balcony always gave us something to look at, and there are stunning views, and incredible sunsets. Unfortunately, the sofa was a little uncomfortable and one of the toilet flushers broke. Other than that the apartment is well equipped and spotlessly clean. There is so much to see and do in the area that suited the whole family. We had a fantastic week, and I thoroughly recommend. Thank you.
Thank you for your feedback and pleased you had a good time. The toilet is being repaired as we speak and hopefully it wasn’t too much of an inconvenience. Daphne Property Owner

"Hi -- the flat is well situated overlooking the harbour."
And convenient for a number of site seeing activities and the coastal path. Great to be able to have breakfast and dinner on the balcony. The kitchen has everything you need and both bedrooms and bathrooms were great. Only additional comment -- need to include mention of the parking voucher in the joining instructions and ensure the blue folder with the instructions & voucher are left out for people to find. Would definitely go back again!
Thank you for your feedback-will ask Dream Cottages to make sure the parking ticket and blue file are left out clear to see. Daphne Property Owner
