About this property

Weston 0.5 miles. Resting on the outskirts of Southwell near Weston in Dorset is Avalanche Cottage, a well-positioned, three-bedroom home. Just a short walk away from a range of local amenities, whilst enjoying sea glimpses and a prime location near the beach, Avalanche Cottage offers six guests a fabulous base whilst exploring the Dorset AONB. Park up on the roadside before venturing through the entrance and into the living/dining room, complete with plush seating, a rustling open fire, a TV, and dining seating for six. Next door you will locate the well-equipped kitchen, also featuring a handy breakfast bar, where you can rustle up tasty meals, before heading to the pet-friendly garden, to enjoy your outdoor space and store your bikes and kayaks. When sleep calls, select between three well-appointed bedrooms, including a king-size, a double, and a twin, offering flexibility for your family. Awaken to either a bath or a shower before grabbing your walking boots, ready to explore your surroundings; travel to dine out at The Lobster Pot, enjoy a tipple at The Eight Kings, or head to the local convenience store to stock up on the essentials. Upon the Isle of Portland, discover the Bill Lighthouse, rich in history and enveloped by breath-taking views, enjoy an immersive afternoon at Portland Alpacas, reach the Portland Bird Observatory for the best vantage point, or visit the marina and boatyard to watch the world go by. Take advantage of your coastal position, stopping off at Chesil Beach by following the West Dorset Heritage Coast, before continuing to Weymouth and its host of attractions; some of the most popular include Weymouth Pavilion, SEA LIFE Centre Weymouth, and RSPB Lodmoor. Round off your break in the town of Dorchester, where you can tour the Dorset Museum, head to the Kingston Maurward Animal Park and Gardens, ideal for all of the family and even your furry companion, or delve into history by discovering Max Gate, a National Trust property, dating back to 1885. Experience all of this at Avalanche Cottage.

The Dorset town of Weston is located atop the Isle of Portland. It is an integral aspect of life on Portland, situated near to the communities of Easton and Southwell. It's a remarkable spot to stay and has been recognised as a conservation area and a site of architectural and historic interest. On one of the several walking pathways that crisscross the Isle of Portland, it takes 30 minutes to reach Portland Bill. With owls living on the west cliffs, Portland is well known for being a wildlife viewing destination.
