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.

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.

Schönes kleines Haus für Minibreak
Nahe der Halbinsel und wenigen Fahrminuten nach Weymouth gelegen war das kleine Häuschen für unseren Minibreak die perfekte Wahl. Es war klein und doch hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Für ein Paar genau die richtige Größe. Die Jurasic Coast und das Hinterland locken zu Zahlreichen Ausflügen. Die voll ausgestattete Küche haben wir nur für das Frühstück genutzt, da wir eigentlich die ganze Zeit unterwegs waren. Es war sehr ruhig und erholsam.

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.

Superbe endroit. Maison bien équipée. Belle vue, bord de l'eau à 2min. Parking privé. Juste un petit bemol pour les Français/Belges : prévoir adaptateur pour les prises electriques. Et aussi un séchoir pour étendre le linge car nous ne l'avons pas trouvé. Pour le reste parfait🙂 Nous recommandons!
