Due to the weather we found the wood burner a very welcome item in the property.. Being able to park on the drive was very useful as the roads were so narrow and full of parked cars. Portland was most interesting and on a fine day the views were superb.

Lovely clean comfortable house.. Parking can be difficult due to the neighbours. Not for people with walking problems as on very steep hills. Too far from anywhere nice to walk to so had to use car all the time. Would have been nice to have a welcome pack as we have had at every other cottage through the years. We had to go down a steep hill to get some milk as no parking at local shops.

Excellent location, very convenient for shops and the local pubs.. A great place to set off walking from too. Portland was a new venue for us, everyone was so welcoming we loved it. Great cafe's in the area, lovely coastal walking and plenty to visit by car too. Inside the accommodation was spacious, loads of room for 4 people. The kitchen/breakfast area has a decent table to eat or work at, and there was also a nice corner settee, perfectly placed for watching the tv. The sitting room is huge, plenty of comfy seating, with a wood burner and tv. Three toilets, two showers and a bath, as well as a utility room with a washing machine. You do hear the church clock chime, but with the double glazed windows closed it didn't disturb us at all, and there was almost no road noise. A decent outside area too, so you could relax in the evening after a day's exploring with your favourite tipple, or a bbq. We will certainly visit again.
