The Portland Cottage - about the cottage

Welcome to our lovely, warm family and dog friendly holiday home. Our coastal cottage looks small from the outside but can sleep up to 8 guests and is fantastic for getaways with family or friends.

With some sea views and close to the South West Coast path, the cottage is a great place to explore Portland and the local area. Being a 10 minute walk from Portland Marina and Chesil Beach, it's the perfect spot to indulge in sailing, bird-watching, diving, kayaking and other outdoor activities.  Almost next door is 'The Adventure Cafe' which does an amazing breakfast!  For those interested in history, walk around the corner to Portland Castle or visit The D-Day museum almost opposite.  Fancy a dip?  Sea swimmers will be in your element with the beach across the road!  For warmer water just over the road in the opposite direction is Osprey Leisure Centre with swimming pool and gym facilities.

Our Portland cottage is over 200 years old but is furnished to a high standard with all mod cons. There are two reception rooms, including a brilliant dining room which accommodates all the family and a lounge with a top of the range Smart TV and plenty of space to relax.

There are 3 large double bedrooms (king-size beds) and 2 bathrooms, one being a shower room on the ground floor and the top floor one has a bath.. One of the bedrooms doubles up as the cinema room with surround sound and an Xbox just in case the British weather tries to ruin any activities.

The galley kitchen is small but perfectly formed with a family sized fridge freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, gas hob, electric fan oven and microwave.

Outside we have a south facing courtyard garden which gets extremely hot in the summer and has a comfy seating area, perfect to enjoy a glass of something cold. There is also a covered drying area with hanging rail for wetsuits, diving equipment and a Weber BBQ.

The cottage also has its own private off street parking space for one car and there is free on street parking directly opposite. There is also a secure hook to chain up any bikes.

The attic bedroom (restricted height in some places) has 1 king size bed.
The front bedroom has one king size bed and a (good)single chair bed.
The cinema / bedroom has a (good)king size sofa bed and a (good)single chair bed.
Its helpful to know when booking which you require making up for your arrival.

A floor plan can be found in one of the additional photos which gives an idea of the layout and how the sleeping arrangements are laid out.

We love to be flexible to suit your needs and always try to accommodate earlier check in or later check out when needed by guests.

We are extremely dog friendly and believe your family pet is an integral part of any family holiday. Dogs are allowed everywhere at the cottage and whilst our garden is enclosed it would be best to keep any eye on them!
