Steve
.it is stunning with the large window giving you a full view down the awesome Chesil beach and of course perfect sea views. The property is very comfortable and warm and provides for everyoneâs needs, very handy having two bathrooms. The house was something to look forward to returning to on a full day out. Parking is okay, nice to have a parking space with the property, the road to the house is small and turning is difficult, but as long as you are aware of this, it will not detract from your stay. Definitely a return to property for us, we loved it.

The cottage had everything needed for a comfortable stay. Neighbours (permanent residents) are very friendly (we were offered fish by one from their early morning catch). There were 6 of us and we were very comfortable. Great little seating area at thr front near the parking where some of us sat on a warm evening watching the sun set. Good location on the island and in walking distance to the beach, local pubs (The Cove Inn was great), coop, tea rooms and fish and chips. Nearby ion the island s also the Olympic rings, quarry statues with the Bill, Castle and other beaches (we visited Church Ope beach) Definitely would recommend and stay again. A few tips: The street looks like it is marked on the street floor as one way, it isn't but is tight. There may be cars parked and therefore driving on the kerb is essential. There is space for 2 small cars. One in the parking area, one directly in front of it. When exiting the property, don't step straight out, look first (as there may be cars passing on the small pavement). The road itself is the start of the coastal walk so there may be a few walkers passing by during the day/evening.

The view was fantastic watching the stormy sea from the large lounge window. The lounge was very comfortable to relax in. The property is in a good position for exploration of Portland and the surrounding mainland. We had a wonderful week.
