What our customers say about their holidays

  The spacious apartment is just a few steps from the beach and offers a well-equipped kitchen. It’s perfect for those who enjoy cooking their own meals. The bright windows facing the sea provide sunshine during breakfast (weather permitting). During peak season, it can be quite lively outside the apartment, even late at night. The bedroom is at the back, but unfortunately, you can hear a ventilation system when the window is open. Light sleepers might find this disturbing. We kept the bedroom window closed at night and ventilated through the living room. The apartment is ideally located for long walks, with everything you need within walking distance. You can enjoy the smart TV in the living room or the smaller TV in the bedroom. The bathroom is spacious and well-equipped with both a shower and a bathtub. Overall, the apartment is in good condition, though you can see signs of wear from previous guests. The washer-dryer and dishwasher are very convenient, although the dishwasher’s drying function was broken during our stay and couldn’t be fixed. It still washed well, and drying by hand wasn’t a big issue. We would love to come back.

  The Captains Retreat was our perfect place to stay.

  After busy days exploring the beautiful coastline, it was lovely to know we were returning every night to such awonderful apartment. Exceptionally clean, very spacious and tastefully decorated with everything we could possibly need during our stay. The owners were very thoughtful in leaving a fantastic hamper of treats for our arrival which we appreciated so much after travelling a long way. There was even pillow mist for a relaxing night's sleep. Everything was organised so well. Nothing was too much trouble. Upon our arrival, because the owners were still in the vicinity of the apartment, they helped us find a good parking space outside. The area is very busy as it is a popular location. We did manage to park every evening on our return and used the free parking permit provided at the apartment. On a morning, we ate breakfast on the dining table overlooking the beach and the views were fabulous. I especially liked the Quay and harbour part of Weymouth which is very pretty. I would love to return to the property one day if we were visiting this area again.

  All I can say is how marvelous this accommodation is.

  The hosts have really made a huge effort to ensure that every possible comfort and necessity is catered for. I particularly appreciated the drinks in the fridge, and the basket of goodies in the kitchen. almost every time you opened up a cupboard, there would be another, unexpected surprise. The view over the beach is superb, though I guess it may be a little noisier in high summer. The only thing I would say is that the bathroom hand basin is tiny, and impractical for a gentleman to shave in. Also, be aware that although the hosts leave instructions to empty rubbish into the bin outside, the bin itself can only be opened an inch or two, so placing a bag of rubbish into it is quite a challenge. Upon arrival, the communal entrance hall and stairways don't look very promising, and there are a lot of stairs to negotiate, if, like me, you have a heavy suitcase. Don't be put off by this, though, as the flat is amazing, and you will love every minute of your stay here.

  This was our second stay this year at this quality apartment. It’s well equipped, ideally situated with excellent views of the beach, close to all amenities and has permit car parking. What’s not to like? Well.......there is some noise from the patrons outside the restaurant downstairs and at weekends live music in the evenings, which we could hear, but it was acceptable. However on the last weekend of our stay (11th and 12th October) it moved into full nightclub mode including some kind of “boombox” sound system obviously located just below the floor of the apartment. From around 8:30 to 11:30 the noise and vibration was tremendous, shaking the floor and windows. When it finally subsided the sounds of clearing up continued into the early hours. Not the best night’s sleep prior to having to vacate the apartment by 9:00am Sunday morning. I’m afraid, this time, we will not be back, unless something is done about the nightclub noise.

  We absolutely loved the Captain’s Retreat apartment.

  It is absolutely stunning. The owners have thought of everything and much more to make your stay perfect. The entrance to the property is very underwhelming however when you step through the door of the apartment it is a real wow moment. The welcome basket, tea and coffee and milk in the fridge are such thoughtful touches after a very long drive. The weather wasn’t great but we loved sitting at the windows watching the world go by - very relaxing. The only tiny negative was a small water leak at the base of the toilet which the owners are trying their best to sort out and the size of the bathroom. We were prepared for this as it is mentioned in the details and reviews so not an issue at all. We had fun fitting my 6ft3 husband in the shower! We would highly recommend this property and cannot wait to stay again.
