About this property
Resting on the seafront in Chiswell On Portland, Dorset is this charming townhouse, Sea Reach. This contemporary abode offers views of the iconic Chesil Beach, a gated entrance with private parking, and is well-equipped for a family of six to explore Dorset's gorgeous coastline. Upstairs you'll find the first-floor kitchen/diner with an electric oven, gas hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and a rustic breakfast bar for six to catch up on the day's adventures over a home-cooked supper. The patio door leads out to your private, enclosed courtyard with outdoor seating to catch the evening sunshine with a glass of wine in hand. As night falls, retreat to the first-floor sitting room and sink into the sumptuous corner sofa, switch on the TV, or admire the views across Chesil Beach. 6 Chesil Beach Mews has three bedrooms fitted with high-quality furnishings including a double, ground-floor double, and a twin, which benefits from those lovely sea views. After fun-filled days by the sea, head straight to the ground-floor bathroom, a sleek space equipped with a bath, walk-in shower, heated towel rail, and washer and dryer to throw in sandy towels. You'll also find a shower room on the second floor with a walk-in shower, so every guest is well-catered to. Chiswell has plenty of shops and eateries to choose from such as the renowned Quiddles Cafe (their breakfasts are legendary), Chesil Chippie and the The Little Ship Pub, to name a few! There is also the award winning Crab House Cafe tucked away off Portland Road. Start your holiday by exploring Portland which is scattered with historic sites and beautiful coastal walks; Portland Castle, Blacknor Fort, and Portland Museum are sure to please, or perhaps you'd prefer visiting the animals at Fancys Farm? Alternatively, explore Chesil Beach, a haven for fishing and walking with many cafes along the shore, as well as Wild Chesil Centre information centre where you can book boat tours to discover so much more. The beach is backed by Dorset AONB and the Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site for breath-taking footpaths and idyllic coves to rest your feet in the sea. If you fancy getting wet, Portland harbour is the home
of the National Sailing academy and is a fantastic location for any keen water sports enthusiast offering Paddle boarding, Wind/Kite Surfing, Dingy sailing or Kayaking. For more family-friendly attractions, the seaside town of Weymouth is close by where you can sunbathe and swim along Weymouth Beach, discover local heritage at Tudor House Museum, and visit a variety of sea creatures at SEA LIFE Centre Weymouth. The pier is scattered with classic amusements and attractions, but if that's not for you, Weymouth Golf Club, the scenic RSPB Radipole Lake, and RSPB Lodmoor offer peaceful escapes. However you spend your holiday, make Sea Reach your home-from-home in Dorset.
Chiswell sits on Dorset's Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site, and is connected to the mainland by Chesil Beach, an 18-mile pebble spit. This former quarrying community has several stores, taverns, and restaurants, and the surrounding countryside is a birdwatcher's delight. This fantastic holiday resort offers great walking, watersports, sandy beaches, and the picturesque Weymouth harbour, just 4 miles away.

The kitchen was well equipped and the bathrooms very up to date. / though the floor of the master shower was extremely slippy and Iâd suggest a shower mat needed before someone has an accident. The heated towel rail didnât work so it was hard to dry the towels as the bathroom was windowless.- and the outside clothes line is still not connected up properly. We didnât particularly like Portland. The area seems somewhat run down with not much to commend it. In our opinion the location detracts from the property itself. The wonderful sea views had been commented on in previous reviews. However donât expect anything panoramic as the windows are tiny and covered in salt spray due to the proximity of the beach. The owners had kindly left a welcome hamper which we much appreciated. Parking and security was good but in view of the area sadly we wouldnât be back.

The accommodation was well-appointed with nice personal touches which gave it a more homely feeling than the usual holiday let. The only real issue was parking as there was only one car parking space - that was made quite clear in the listing, but the implication was that there was plenty of nearby parking. Not really! And certainly not at the weekend. That wasnât an issue for our son who stayed with us for part of the week as he was well up to walking the quarter mile that was generally needed before he could park - but that might well be an issue for others - especially as the let is potentially for 6, so that could very reasonably translate as 3 couples and 3 cars.

It was great to have secure private parking as lots of the accommodation on Portland doesnât. Conveniently located for getting around and lovely to just open the security gate and be right on the sea front for the amazing sunsets. The property was also really quiet as we barely heard any noise for the whole of our stay. There are some fantastic coastal path walks that you can do on Portland and Weymouth is also a great place to visit. We had such a good time that we have booked to go back for 2 weeks in September. Finally, thanks for the nice hamper on arrival, it was much appreciated.
