Great base for exploring Dorset coast
Nice, very quiet end of terrace home in a lovely location. We enjoyed the Portland / Wyke experience and the friendly locals. Recommend The Cove for a very tasty meal and pint, and Flavours of Asia for Indian takeaway. Both really excellent. The house had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Would recommend for a couple or a small family

Lovely clean, comfortable cottage with everything you need. Was quiet during our stay, with friendly neighbours. View of sea from bedroom and walking distance to Chesil Beach, but also close to Weymouth Beach. Perfect base to explore other areas such as Bridport, West Bay and Lyme Regis.

Great Location
Tucked away just off the Rodwell Trail means that you can easily walk into Weymouth or Portland whilst enjoying some lovely views. Then you get to come back to this lovely home to relax in. It provided everything that we were looking for, clean with comfortable beds and sofa. Communication from Suzanne was very good, ensuring that we had all of the information that we needed.

Short break
Property is very nice overall and beautiful views. However there was quite a few cobwebs on walls and windows which were gathering dust and I have a severe dust allergy. I think the bedding and sofas might need spraying to kill off dust mites too as my allergies were awful during the time spent in the house and started affecting my sleep. Beds were bit soft for our liking but that’s a personal preference. Lovely property but probably wouldn’t stay here again due to personal reasons.

This was a lovely place to stay. Nice homely feel. Secure and inviting. Only concern was no tumble drier for clothes, bearing in mind we visited in October, which made managing clothing a bit tricky. Otherwise, Loved the place.

Very happy to have stayed here - the positive reviews are well warranted.
Everything we could have wanted was catered for in this stay. The house was clean, modernly furnished, and fully equipped - from the kitchen to the BBQ outdoors (though we didn't use it). The location of the property was ideal - a short drive into Weymouth town centre or a short walk (~2 minutes) to a bus stop where a regular bus service that runs from the early hours of the morning till late in the evening. If you don't want to eat out every evening, there's a Lidl only 5-10 minutes away by car on Portland island. Communication with the owners was great and the check-in / check-out process was very smooth. A very professionally-arranged service. Beyond that, from a subjective perspective, the views of the sea were lovely to look at each morning. All of the positive reviews are well-warranted in my opinion. Much appreciated.
