Overview
Property code: 91468

Take a family holiday on the quirky island of Portland. This property is a Grade II-listed building, which has been lovingly restored and made into a charming cottage. Pack up your family and bring the dog for a trip where you can visit plenty of beaches, explore shipwrecks and learn about the tenacious spirit of the community.

The front door leads directly into a cosy lounge. This room has a timeless feeling, and is very homely, with soft sofas and a wood burner, surrounded by exposed brick and wooden beams. Continue through to the kitchen/diner, which is wonderfully cosy. Head up to the first floor for a spacious bathroom with a free-standing bath, and a king-size bedroom. The final bedroom is on the second floor. It’s a pretty twin room with a vaulted ceiling, and it’s where the history of the building really starts to show. The property has a small patio with a bistro, a BBQ and some seating, and then outdoor stairs lead to the terrace. You’ll have a breathtaking view over the town and to the sea, and there’s lovely furniture so you can eat, drink, read, socialise or use the space however you choose. If you get cold, be sure to light up the fire pit.

As this holiday retreat is on the beautiful island of Portland, there’s plenty to enjoy. If you do decide to head to the mainland, Weymouth is only 4.5 miles away, and you can drive there. Back on the island, the cottage is about 100 metres from the beach, so it’s easy to go for a dip whenever you fancy. For a bit of history, head to Church Ope Cove (2 miles) which used to be used by smugglers. You can enjoy fishing there or go wreck diving.

A lovely cosy cottage in a ideal location. It would be lovely to stay in the summer when you could enjoy the outside seating area with great views.

Lovely cottage. Perfect for me and my two friends to spend a cosy weekend by the sea.

I highly recommend Sunset Cottage! The cottage was beautful and comfortable, while the location is simply wonderful - the nearby beach was lovely to walk along in the evenings and the view from the garden seating area was fantastic!

The hosts, also, went above Read moreand beyond to ensure that my stay was an enjoyable, relaxing one, wanting for nothing. Thank you for helping make my holiday magical! Hide

The cottage is beautiful and really lives up to its name. The views were awesome. The cottage is equipped with everything you could want or need, with extra unexpected goodies. Parking was a big issue for me as we spent ages trying to find a space. This might not affect everyone though. Whilst we appreciate the age of the property, the single beds Read morewere very creaky. My son was very aware that every time he moved in bed, the whole house could hear. Having said that, we loved it there. Hide

We stayed with a family of four and loved our stay all the way through. The cottage has everything you need and a little bit more. The hosts are lovely and quick to reply if you need anything.
