  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.

  Wow!! What can we say

  ? My wife and I really needed a quiet break for a couple of days after a very bumpy 3 months. Deer View provided the perfect place for us to spend some `us` time and chill out. Susan was the perfect host to us and on arrival showed us round. She was meticulous in her planning and management of her holiday let, right down to a big binder full of lots of places to go and things to do, her gift of her simply awesome fruit cake, to her cleaning regime, with the place truly spotless. All of the furnishings and utensils are brand new and are of quality, and not cheap rubbish as some do, showing respect for her guests. This part of England we are not too familiar with, is just beautiful and so quiet and peaceful, so ticked all of the boxes Our 3 nights and 2 days seemed to pass too quickly, but we would love to return.. A huge thank you John and Viv

  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.

  What a lovely apartment, clean, modern, homely and well equipped.

  Everything we could have wanted was provided by the thoughtful owners, Justin and Elaine, who obviously want to give their guests the best experience. Location is great, lovely views of the beach, close to shops, numerous restaurants and the harbour. This was a great base for visiting Dorset"s many attractions but apartment roomy and comfortable enough to stay in and chill out, relax and enjoy the board games provided if you prefer. Yes there are quite a few steps up to the apartment but this is described in the summary for CR so should not come as any surprise and the views from the front windows make the climb worthwhile. What a gem, thank you J & E for sharing your beautiful apartment and for your kind treats on arrival, all much appreciated.
