About this property

Located on the outskirts of Castletown, Portland is Bear's Apartment, a fabulous fourth-floor apartment. Enjoying direct sea views and a prime location near a host of amenities, the beach, and the marina, Bear's Apartment is complete with a contemporary interior, a private balcony, and designated parking, offering the ideal base for a seascape. Park up in the designated parking space and make your way up to the fourth floor before entering the light-flooded living space, where you can prepare meals in the sleek kitchen, dine in as a four, and unwind upon the chic corner sofa, with coastal vistas in sight. Head outdoors to truly make the most of your surroundings, enjoying an alfresco affair upon the balcony, before unwinding for the night with a glass of wine in hand. When sleep calls, select between two well-appointed bedrooms including a double with balcony access, and a twin with an en-suite shower room. The apartment is complete with a sleek bathroom, home to both a bath and a shower. Awaken to tour the marina, stock up on the essentials, or grab a bite to eat at The Kitchen at Portland Marina, a popular, local restaurant. Continue by foot to enjoy the shoreline of Chesil Beach, covering an 18-mile stretch, also a haven for water sports and wildlife spotting, or if you'd prefer a day of amusements, visit Weymouth and its shoreline of attractions, including Weymouth Museum, Alexandra Gardens amusement park, Nothe Fort, RSPB Radipole Lake, and SEA LIFE Centre Weymouth. Travel through Dorset AONB, to reach Dorchester, the centre of the county, also home to further attractions, where you can brush up on your local knowledge at the Dorset Museum, or discover the Kingston Maurward Animal Park and Gardens, before returning home for sundowners. Experience all of this, and more, at Bear's Apartment.

    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.

    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

    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.
