Fisherman's Cottage

About this property

This charming detached house, Fisherman's Cottage, is perched on the picturesque Portland Bill peninsula in Dorset in a quiet village location close to Jurassic coast path. About a mile from Portland Bill lighthouse, this beautiful coastal 18th-century cottage is perfect for a getaway with the family or a get-together with friends, with beautiful sea views from the house and garden, where you can watch passing ships and boats. Start your break by entering a sun room with seats that welcome you. Next, head into the kitchen, where you'll find everything you need to prepare delectable dinners or speedy picnics to take with you on your adventures. After supper as a family at the dining table, unwind as a family while watching a film and sinking into the sofas. Get some sleep upstairs in the home’s three bedrooms; the first floor is also home to a bathroom where you can freshen yourself before another action-packed day. Before having a cup of coffee in the garden, wake up with a revitalising shower, either in the bathroom or the master bedroom's en-suite. The garden, which has a hot tub and furnishings, is a great place morning, noon, or night where you can also take in the picture-perfect sea views. If you have the time, Portland is a great seaside town to discover; the Portland Castle and its delightful museum, which features exhibits on regional history. Don't overlook Blacknor Fort, a 16th-century castle, another one for the history lovers, and Portland Alpacas for the animal lovers of your group. The Cove House Inn, which serves up fresh seafood, is one of the many eateries and pubs in this area, and Cod Fathers is the place to go for delectable fish and chips if you're in the mood for takeout. The charming seaside town of Weymouth, which is just a short drive away, is well-known for its breathtaking coastline, sandy beaches, and Weymouth Harbour, a popular spot for sailing and fishing. Nothe Gardens is a picturesque park on a hilltop overlooking the harbour, and Nothe Fort is a popular tourist attraction dating back to the 19th century. The town centre also offers a variety of eateries, and the shoreline is a beautiful place to wander or have a picnic! Fisherman's Cottage is a great place to unwind, any time of the year.

Portland Bill, a promontory at the tip of the wild Isle of Portland peninsula, is connected to the mainland by Chesil Beach, a gravel spit that extends 18 miles in the direction of West Bay. Portland is home to three lighthouses, the most recent of which, the 35-meter-tall, white and red-striped Portland Bill Lighthouse, was completed in 1906. The Jurassic Coast, now a recognised World Heritage Site, and the Portland Bird Observatory, together with a bar and a restaurant/café, are nearby and make for a lovely day out.
